The Ultimate Modding Question: What era would you like this DLC to be in?

[SeanBeansShako]

Lets talk the future of Napoleonic Wars mods people.

I've noticed quite a huge amount of confusion and division over the modding future of this DLC. Seeing as this is now an international pay to play product instead of a simple made for free mod it is understandable anyone whos nation was around during the Napoleonic Wars wants to see some action. The developers have predicted such chaos and are kind enough to promise the release of a SDK and access to the base DLCs files for all talented Warband modders to play with out there.

Requests for Ottomans, The Dutch, the US and many factions to be added by modders (FSE are far too busy patching and balancing the game so lets be realistic guys we'll just see new regiments from them) have been wild and when the SDK hits demand for new content will be high to keep the community going. So NW community, what era do you want to see modders focus on?

Also, discussion on if these should be if they should be simple download to use on said server style mods or become mini mods in their own right. I don't want to see anyone trying to use ~HISTORY~ as an excuse to sink any arguments. Just stick to the base DLC already. If you honestly don't care why are you looking at mods anyway? besides the DLC seems to be split between 1812-1815 itself. It'll never narrow itself into a single era.

As soon as the MS is released, me and some guys will start and see what we can do (i'm not that experienced in coding ) to make a kind of SP version, I think mostly re-textures are needed for this,


I', not sure about an exact year or so. Might be just from the start to the end of the Napoleonic wars.

the team is atm.

We will do what we can to try to make a playable SP mod for NW. With as factions as possible, (the Netherlands/Sweden/German minor nations/spain/etc) Mainly with re-texturing, so we will see what is possible or not


Just saw this thread and had to let you guys know about this.

Whoops, knew I forgot something. Also added the late Revolution Era.

The differences with each era can be pretty big, as regiments have been disbanded and merged uniform reforms have turned colours, minimised lace and replaced hats and whole nations have been founded or absorbed.

Also, there is a 1812 Mod for the DLC already in the works too and their looking for people to help them out.

 

[tompaw0w]

Nice Gokiller. Let me know if you need any assistance with Swedish units.

 

[L3git Squig Herder]

Theres also a Civil War mod in the works, made by the same dudes that made Secession for Warband, not sure what its called.

 

[SeanBeansShako]

Maps wise, I really do want to see a day siege Badajoz and a bloody night battle being fought around the breached fort cities ruins later but assets are sadly needed.

I think we keep it on making our own version

I'm thinking if it's possible for special battle maps, (Waterloo etc) to include in the map. Not sure if this all is possible tho

 

[SeanBeansShako]

Also, looking at the current Warband mods for this era I think either some single player mods focused on a single campaign like with good ole' NTW would be the best bet or a simple open sandbox Warband-esqe mod starting in 1799 and ending in 1815 with the players chance to become King or Emperor or whatever nation they fight for/their own is the best bet.

If you want to play in a different theater/time period then make a mod.

Thats what this thread is for. Discussion for people who want to make mods.

 

[KillerMongoose]

You can see in my signature I am making a War of 1812 mod, just waiting for everything to be released so I can begin in earnest

 

[SeanBeansShako]

Got a question about that, will you be using the regimental class system of NW or will it be the old 'pick a class, buy what you can and earn gold for better equipment' dealie from Warband?

 

[MrExplodyChikenLord]

I for one would really like to see a sea battle mod. It seems like it wouldn't be hard, as they have mechanics for small boats and you could just make multi level versions with cannons on them. Then again I don't know anything about modding so I could be completely wrong...

 

[Herr_Wolff]

I wanna see the 1806/1807 war against Prussia and Russia. Jena&Auerstedt, Kolberg, Eylau , Friedland...... would be damn fine.

 

[BetaKnight]

FRENCH REVOLUTION ITALY CAMPAIGN DDDD I would like that alot

 

[Marshal_Ney]

You misspelled"Toulon"
I voted for late revolutionary period because I liked those uniforms more

 

[SeanBeansShako]

Fixed because I'm a silly anglo-saxon who can't spell fancy French words.
