Cavalry unit movement

[Cain]

Do you still remeber how horse formations moved in the Kingdom of Heaven movie? They were regruping in a collum and then when arriveing at the location they were reforming the line. The same thing seems to also happen in MTW2 ... look how they form a sort of a collum as they move...

What do you think?

[thelucius]

there is somthing in the last blog (thursday 21st) about the grouping of cavalry formations and 'blobbing' with waypoints. I wish they would either release more info or jus finish testing and give us the Bloddy game.

;D

ps. before anyone complains about the use of the word bloody it is not a swear word but an outdated form of blasphemy ("By Our Lady")

[Controller]

[offtopic]if you want my RE teachers views none of the bad-words are swear words. to swear is to make a promise that you wont break.[/offtopic]

 

they look cool moving like that.but can you be sure that the person playing just didnt put them in that formation.(l)

[Cain]

thelucius It's ok ... we only censor the hardcore words.

 

As for the cavalry unit ... well that’s why I release it - because of the last blog. Too bad they don't give clear movie examples. You must understand that it is not up to a CA developer to say all that he wishes to say about the game. Developers always get censored by the marketing guys ... they have to get approvals, etc. It is almost like they are selling a Ferrari but they are just showing off more of the car red paint color, strange angles, only the rear of the car, etc. No drive tests, no engine performance, no high speed, no fun ... nothing to make the RTS fans in the world be stunned by the beautiful work of art that they created with their hands.

 

Also it’s interesting that pics from the Beta session have started to leak on different TW sites ... that’s dangerous since those people that have the beta are under NDA so it’s unwise to use my example ...but I assume that they know what they are doing and I really appreciate their efforts. It's quite good to see how MTW2 has evolved from the Beta ... so the large number of fans will really see the huge amount of work-effort that CA has invested in this game. I think that the CA developers should have their pictures in the credits too so we will know better to whom to say - Thanks.

 

AT-AT Controller I was playing the game

 

Btw in case you wonder what settings I used:

And someone asked for more EN units and CA already showed a lot of this faction so I see no issue for more pics:

look cool cain.. cant wait to play england and if its in(i havent been looking)spain

[Lord_of_the_Sith]

The horses and mounted units are really cool and 100 times better than any other game around even confonted to RTW ones. Horses now are bigger and seems real. The knoghts are realistic and what makes the game really cool is that not all the soldiers have the same skin!( I mean different colour of shields,armour ect)

[thelucius]

Yeah finally we can see horses who might realistically have the size strength and pwoer to carry both its armoured rider and its own defencive suit. It did annoy me to an extent that even the cataphraktoi in RTW seemed to be ridin ponies who could not possibly have withstood charging around for hours on end (just a small quibble though) :

[Lord_of_the_Sith]

And you must add that no mod or anyone ever corrected that horses.

I really want to play MTW2 and hope to see a new RTW2!!!!

[thelucius]

yeah rtw2 would be SICK!!!!!! ;D

[Lord_of_the_Sith]

Yes. Imagine a RTW 2 with the MTW2 improved graphic! The TW series will forever be carried out.

It's the only one real history based RTS (apart from the various WWII titles) that is worth playing and buying. Support the devs of this game as we must for other Eaw titles.

[thelucius]

INDEED!

Thx ... ehhh don't be so though on him - he is doing his job after all. Ok here is the message:

 

"This is a message forwarded from the PFF TW community. 

 

Hello Shogun,

 

Since we lost our connection with SEGA due to the forum problems - we were left in the dark on what we need to do regarding our MTW2 version pictures. So anwyay - based on our latest analysis of the MTW2 version CA has shown on IGN - it seems that the quality of the product has improved a bit more compared to the materials we have acquired from the convention. We will like to know if you can confirm this and if so - this will mean that it is required by us to remove all the pictures we posted and only use the latest you release? Also if the pictures are not required to be removed we will like to release a bit more of them - let's say 100 more - will this affect you in any way? or do you wish us to send you first what we will release - so we could coordinate. Thanks - and we look forward to your feedback. 

 

We would have emailed/PMed you directly but or connection there "Callatian" has problems logging in on the forums. We will appreciate if you could fix his account and make it work.

 

Cheers,

PFF TW Team"

 

thelucius tell him that you are just the messenger and you are from East Sussex (*they have the office in West Sussex) - this way he may have mercy. Let's just hope that he will not treat you like in Sparta http://pff.swrebellion.com/index.php?topic=3575.0 ... and whatever you say don't mention land and water

 

Thanks mate - let's grow our TW cmmunity. PFF is evolving anyway - we could incorporate that too
