Yeah because anything but mass cavalry is not fun. [/sarcasm]

I find that the dense forests of polished landscapes made infantry combat very visceral, and added a good tactical element to it.

Oh lordy, only found this mod now.

have my babbies.

Best of luck to you guys, this is easily the best-looking (and sounding) mod I've seen for warband(?), hope you can get a playable release out soon :D

Luckily I've got both M&B and M&B warband, though I do hope this a warband mod.

Korengal valley isn't exactly a landscape of blending colors. It has a lot of contrast. The trees are intensely green, yet the ground is fairly dry and dark.

Unfortunately, getting it to look right requires a lot of tweaking of texture colors and lighting values..

Stuff of nightmares, man. I thought the Jagdpanther was hard to kill :D

As much as I value input under normal circumstances, the only thing you have to go off of at this point is a shot of 1/25 of the map's space. Save your judgments and opinions until you see more, because as of this point you have only seen an image of the maps basic scenery, not it's layout or gameplay design.

This isn't being built like the older urban insurgency maps. It's quite large and non-linear by comparison; being as such there's no good reason to put too much detail into the less important places. Quantity has a quality all of it's own and Im trying to get the visuals as good as possible while not overcrowding the map or hampering performance.

Once more pictures are shown you'll be able to get an idea of the style and gameplay flow of the map, and it will put this small shot in perspective ;)

Believe it or not, Brecourt actually existed BEFORE Band of Brothers showed it on HBO (holy crap).

The "105"mm you posted is actually a 7.5cm pak 40. The ones on the map right now are 8.8cm pak 43's. The main German ordinance that used 105mm was the lefh18, and those wern't the guns that were used at brecourt.

It's looks like a random french trenchline that looks nothing like anything I've seen before. Cool!

He doesn't "look at the gun for 3 seconds" that time is when the "character" is removing a magazine from it's pouch.

This is an older version of the map, too. The new one is much nicer. Stay tuned for shots of that.
