[Development Thread] BtS Unofficial Expansion: World of Legends

[deanej]

I would assume that the vikings would get that trait, so their UB could easily be changed to give navigation II.

 

[cybrxkhan]

^if the Vikings didn't get that trait, then the Mongols might as well not get some kind of militaristic trait. so yes, as so far, both Viking leaders (Ragnar and the new Margaret), probably will be getting the seafaring trait, although this may be subject to change.

THIS JUST IN: YOu will now have REAL leaderheads in WOL. Thanks to me and other tutorials on this forum! I've learned how to modify the actual nifs. Such as...i'll give you a ss of Henry VIII when I'm done.

 

[cybrxkhan]

^ah, that. well, that still isn't the 100% original LH creating way (there is a way for that)... but it does give more "unique" LH though. so, goodjob!

 

[dutchking]

Thank you! But for example: With Henry VIII, I take Joao's model, make his face fatter, get rid of most the hair, tweak his cheeks a bit more, badda bing badd boom, reskin him and it looks completely new!

 

[cybrxkhan]

^good. you still using paint? because if you get into that much qaulity, even your divine skills at paint (compared to what you should be getting) may not be even good enough...

 

[dutchking]

^You bet! It's free, it works, and I'm used to it. And it's easy too.

Then the Viking UB will be nerfed, right?

 

[cybrxkhan]

^we'll look into that.

Heres a list of all the civs and their states (subject to change):

Article: The Civilizations of World of Legends

 

[cybrxkhan]

OKay, for all who care, I edited the first post to include the CIVILIZATION'S STATISTICS.

I also edited our fifth post, the last reserve post, to include a section on articles, news, and reviews. Read at your own risk!!!

 

[Ball Lightning]

They are some very interesting articles and DutchKing has promised many more.

 

[cybrxkhan]

to all who care (and aussies): after much complaint (mostly from Apolyton) and deliberation and research, the leader for Australia has been reassigned to the honorable Alfred Deakin, who will keep the same traits as Menzies was to keep (Cha/Fin). Info will be updated as soon as possible.

Only one. But it should be good. I'm just upset some jerk rated my LH's 2 stars... @ss.... Anyway...can't let the jerks get you down. Just because you spend hours of work on something...
*Hint Hint... You guys should get it...

The Nubian UU looks awesome and might make Nubia one of my favs.

 

[dutchking]

Ted Roosevelt updated, and he will be included in WOL!!!!

 

[Angst]

I saw you didn't give Sobieski any trait - I must confess, I have absolutely NO idea who he is and don't have time to look him up right now, but maybe one of his traits should be Agrarian? (To represent Polands' wheat contribution under the Plague)

 

[cybrxkhan]

^i didn't? he is Agressive and something, forgot. yea, i still need some time to update that. i've had a very busy week or two, thats all.

and dutchking, i already said Ted and Lenin would be in earlier, didn't I?

The Nubian UU looks awesome and might make Nubia one of my favs.

heh. like it too.

From the "A First Look at WoL" article:

The main focus of the expansion are the “hero” units, super-powerful units which may mean an easy, fast victory or a swift, crushing defeat. What if, while leading an army, Robin Hood shot down the admiral Leif Eriksson, effectively ending the English-Viking war? Could Imhotep of the Egyptians, even with his famed magical capabilities, be a match against the ingenious Chinese strategist, Zhuge Liang? These interesting alternate historical possibilities, in which heroes pit against heroes, make history a lot more interesting, more epic, and more legendary.

Would Leif be a war-hero? He should be a national hero instead IMO. He was a very peaceful person and most famous for sailing from his homeland, Iceland to Greenland with his father, and from there discovering mainland North-America; Helluland (Baffin Island), Markland (Labrador) and settling Vinland (Newfoundland)

Sorry if I'm being a pain in the ass

 

[cybrxkhan]

^Just for our local "Viking" , heres the planned Scandinavian "heroes:

- Leif Eriksson
- Gustaphus Adolphus
- Olaf Trygeerson (or whatever his name is)

I think Leif will be the national hero. even if he is, national heroes will STILL be very powerful units. the only thing is that you won't want to risk losing them in fighting unless you're desperate, because they can build the national wonders, remember?
