Unit Graphics

Wed Oct 31, 2007 4:36 am

Hi
Really looking forward to this game, and its mopping potential. However how unit specific are the unit graphics going to be. For example will each Russian Cuirassier regiment have its own unit portrait or will there we a generic Russian Cuirassier unit portrait, and if so would it be possible to modd portraits for each and every regiment and use them all in the game at the same time.

Many thanks
Ian

Don't know about the Russians, but you can find the graphics for the French units and generals in posts by Pocus on http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?t=4704&page=3

Those should at least give an impression as to how individual the graphics are for units, though it doesn't answer your question directly.

Potentially, every one of the 3000 elements entries can have a custom portrait. But all Russian Cuirassiers will look the same though. With 400 generals portraits and as much for units, this is already a major effort.

Hi
Thanks for that I can entirely appreciate that if you did separate unit graphics for each and every unit down to regiment level for every army that would take years to do. However will madders be able to do the extra work and add it into the game so that for example individual Russian Cuirassier regiments could each have their own uniform?

Many thanks
Ian
