It would be nice to see both mods embarked on together, sort of like a release of the same mod set in different periods. Dain mentioned perhaps making "expansions" of other theatres - i.e. the earilier continental conflicts, maybe I'll even pick up the Indian theatre again.

Depends on how Dain feels of course.

Given that a few belgic shakos would be all that'd be needed for my British uniforms for this era. heh.

As regards to sharing stuff atm or working on anything else.. it's a big resounding no. That irritated me with PN that half a dozen different mods had the same stuff. I have very limited time and it's enough hard work just to get the current models done. So, my stuff stays with PW mod until I'm in a very very happy state with it. Sorry to be evil, but there it is. I suspect it's going to be a very very long time before I think of TPW as complete. Plus this mod doesn't seem to be going for a particularly high level of historical realism what with line infantry able to be come riflemen n' all.
 
I would change that infantry troop tree a bit...

Militia = Line Infantry = Light Infantry = Rifleman
                              = Musketeer = Fusiler = Guard Infantry

Anyways just a thought i had...
                           
 
Guys don't get too worked up in the troop type trees, it is likely it will change at least 50 times before the first release.  While historical accuracy is important, smooth and fun gameplay is also very important as well.  A historical game that is no fun is not valuable for me to spend my time making.  I will try to balance these two as best as I am able.  In regards to sharing models, as I said from the beginning -- anyone who is willing to donate models I will gladly accept, but I do not ask or require that anyone do so and I dont want anyone to feel obligated to just because the time periods are similar.  I am perfectly capable of producing all the models required for this mod myself.  As always, any work I produce for this mod is welcome to be used in any mod anyone wishes to create so long as my name is at least mentioned.
 
IS there any way you could implement some form of squad system? I've played on someone's formation mod and though creative it is still very limited. What this mod would need is some way to set units into squads so that in the battle menu you would have squad 1,2,3,4 rather than infantry, archers, cavalry etc. Rifle combat in M&B curently is even more pointless and suicidal than the real life tactics of 1800s. If you could code some sort of squad system and a few simple formations like box, line and vee, and also the ability to set which direction the formation faces as opposed to default facing the nearest enemy then it would be a huge incentive to enjoy the firearms aspect. Currently i see a grim outlook for firearms combat in M&B altogether. I'm not sure how much of this would be even possible as i am not skilled in computers.

just a personal view and i will probably still play your mod. good luck!
 
You oughta know I'll Test it Drew, if you need any other help, let me know. Of course scripting won't be able to commence until the new module system comes out.

As you know I'm still working out the plan for the XNA Game I want to design but I should still hve time to help. You should Dain and Highlander to help. The game you were telling me about looks cool, I was thinking of remaking Age of Rifles for XNA, though as a windows game and not for the 360. If you have any Ideas let me know.

oh and by the way, welcome back.
 
First of all, bump.
Second, can myself and the other testers (If any) get some sort of estimate as to when this mod will be ready for testing?
Of course after the module system comes out, but can you let us know how long AFTER that we would have to wait?

This isn't going to happen, give up now.

You're so very enthusiastic Trooper, its nice to see  members of this community having such..optimism in mods and other people.
Ah my bad you are the one who made the old one. Good luck with it then. I sort of bristle at ambitious mods.
im scottishso there needs to be kilts i mean cmon who would not wanna see my or your countreymen charge at the face of the enemy flashing the dangly bits offputting so easy to keep them occupied will u kill em XD
 
I think the testers can expect at least something to test after a few weeks of the module release.

No, you wait until he finishes it.  It is impossible to tell exactly how long it will be.
 
I think you can expect to see some black watch types

First of many to come:

french_infanterie_de_la_ligne.jpg


L'infanterie de la ligne -  désigne les unités d'infanterie classique, généralement des fusiliers qui combattaient en formation en ligne et composaient les compagnies du centre d'un bataillon. On parle à propos de ces hommes de lignards. L'intérêt du combat en ligne sur la colonne est double : d'une part, face à l'artillerie, un boulet en prenant une colonne en enfilade peut causer la perte d'une quinzaine d'hommes, ce qui devient impossible face à une ligne ; d'autre part, pour le tir en ligne, toute la puissance de feu peut être employée simultanément.

Infanterie de la Ligne - the quintessential infantryman, generally Fusiliers who fight in line formation compose companies in the middle of a battalion.  They were known as the "Lignards."  There are two advantages of line combat:  one, facing the artillery, a canon ball can cause several casualties of men while in column formation, however, this becomes impossible against a line.  The other advantage, is that a musket becomes much more powerful while the entire line fires simultaneously.
 
Glad to see this mod is back

Well I guess that means the old team will be back ?

For models Drewry I got you covered :smile:
