Very impressive work, Jomni.

Working on new 3D models.  This is the HQ unit.  Immobile and high-value.  O0  Let's see how it looks like in the game (smaller and less detail textures).




Looks like the exporter doesn't work.  Scripts must be too old.   :-[

Good target for a decapitation.  >:D

That's awesome!

Blue army on the march.

Red Army in defensive position with Japansese style mantlets auto deployed in Skirmish mode. Don't worry too much about the buildings.   They will turn into real Japanese huts, shinto shrines,  and buddhist temples. The fields are to become rice paddies.

Really looks like you're going to achieve a full conversion.   8) 

Does setting up the canned battles require a lot of time or not?  I've not checked out the editor.  I'm also very curious if the random battles generator would still work well with them.

The UI of the editor is horrendous!  I have yet to really learn them.    Then there's scripting if I want to implement some special rules or make the AI a bit smarter.

Random battles are my focus for now.   O0

I'd be interested to know what about the editor UI you find problematic?  It can be a little intimidating at first (bear in mind it's the tool we use to build the game so...).

One thing to bear in mind is you can get one-click random maps built in the editor (using the same script as the skirmish system) and then tweak them or just lay down your forces etc.

Cheers

Most functions are "hotkey driven".  Just have to sit down and learn them eventually.  Where can I get a refresher?

[jomni]

I changed the default defenses from mantlets to horse barriers (umabosaku).  I think they look better than a long array of mantlets.  The mantlets can still be used in custom battles.

It's looking really nice. How far do you reckon the mod is from completion?

What I have to do before first public version:
1.  Finish new 3D terrain objects
2.  Edit the random map generaiton
3.  Complete the army lists for Red and Blue armies.

First public version is fully playable between Red and Blue samurai armies in skirmish mode.

Future versions will be more about painting the other clans and creating historical scenarios as all the building blocks are complete.

We're clearly not in Europe anymore.

Rice paddies, oriental buildings, shinto shrines, buddhist temples, pagodas...
