Battle for Westfront *WW2 Era in Early Period of War*

[Sagez]

Haha! Jeez, I'm blind, don't listen to me... I was looking at many colour photos/ movies and sometimes I saw those uniforms almost entirely as green, other times I though that they are more brown, lol. Maybe it depends on their version/ pattern and so on. It's something mixed like your splendid german feldgrau I think... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db05D3QoTsQ
One more thing: could you please add polish uhlans? Uhlans were awesome and they would be interesting. Very special unit.

I'm just wondering about the balance issues. You see, forces in WWII were hardly balanced. Germans had a huge advantage, they lost because they were vastly outnumbered and Hitler begun losing his mind for good. So if you're looking for a pleasant gameplay, you might want to manipulate the facts and make it more even
Balace aside, your artwork is very impressive! Hope to see more coming

I'd say it was the manpower of the Soviet Union, the industrial might of the US, the resilience of the British and the combined navies of Britain and the US that won the war. But that's just my view . Also, will there be ships in the add-on? They were an integral part of WW2. Also, I suggest you put the sprites in the Art Workshop for critique(if you want it, that is).

@Sagez: You dont believe it, but yes, the Uhlans will be the next unit for poland I will create.

@Dunno: We play a game and a game must be fair and balanced for all, so I will manipulate the facts. But I try to give any faction a character, so that they are different in playing.

Finally, thank you for your "praise". Its a big motivation!

@Kanzil: Ships are not planned at the moment. The mod is primary for Landforces. But pioneers with some kind of boat still knocking in my head.

Definitely sounds interesting...I wonder what will make them unique...

[TheScribe]

By the way, you don't need to balance the factions in the same way. One faction could have really cheap units with bad stats.

[Sagez]

An important point from me - those are real factions, real nations, not virtual dwarfs or orcs. People can easily get offended/ angry, if their nation will be portrayed in ''inappropriate'' way. One could for example think: * Polish army? Brave but lacking armor and vehicles, and those embarrassing horses, lol! Russians? Zerg rush. Italians?* Haha! I want to give up! * ...and so on. Or imagine having Wehrmacht and Waffen SS units at the same time - try to decide which is better/ should be cheaper to buy (I feel sorry for you ). So controversial! So offensive, LOL! Well, it is doable. It's a just a question of covers, prices, special skills... empathy (that's a joke). Life is offensive and history is offensive too. (Italians were actually awesome when you will think about their Decima Flottiglia MAShttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decima_Flottiglia_MAS )

Unique units? It is easy to do if you know history enough. For example finnish ski troops... german pioneers... polish uhlans... red army politicial commissars...

[Kanzil]

I didn't mean it in that way(I have pretty good/very good understanding of WW2 and modern history in general), I was intrigued as to how he was going to portray each faction. For example, which faction would be the tanks(the dwarves), and which the cheap ones(like the northerners), e.t.c. As you said, it's a difficult job...however I'd say to stick to established history, as you can't go wrong with that.

[Ruglud]

Oh guys, so much to answer...

I have many ideas for every country, but thats are points for the (near) future. At the moment, I work on profiles for existing units and, of course, new Sprites for both factions.

The next sprites are:

German Leutnant as Commander
Polish Uhlans (Horseriders)

Look forward with pleasure to the next "releases".

[MLShax]

thank god, someone is finally making a WWII faction, thank you! the images look really good too

[Ruglud]

Thank you!

If someone can help me with the codes, write me a PM, please. I have some problems with my era.

Edit: Problems solved!

[MLShax]

looks really fun, i will definitely download it, but shouldn't you add the US as a faction, they were a big part of the war in Europe too

[Ruglud]

@MLShax: But my Era occupied with the early period of the war. The americans joined later.


I finish the next two sprites. The german Leutnant or Commander and the Uhlan. The polish cavalry with great history. Hope you enjoy!

Finally you can find some new information about my era. Tell me if you like it (or not)

kind regards

[Sagez]

Thanks! I absolutely love your Leutnant, his expression adds so much! It seems that you are getting better at drawing! I hope to see more units soon, because they look really nice. Will your era contain snipers?

[Ruglud]

Thank you Sagez! I try to do my job. Snipers are not planned at the moment.
