Posts from RTF is a global modification that replaces all towns in the game. Auto-translated

So, the people left the faction of the mountain folk, and the military class of the dwarves strengthened their positions! Now, on level 4, there will be bears, and their abilities will be the same as in the original, with some minor changes, because they at least have suitable animations, although the paw strike could be given to griffins; I need to think about that.

I accidentally created a problem – now the Dwarves have cavalry, which means they are quite ready for combat in open areas... so, logically, they should also develop long-range firearms, and we already have a cannon that ignores armor, which makes close-combat infantry useless, so we need to justify why firearms haven't replaced melee fighters....

I'm belatedly uploading the dragons here; the dwarves are actually ready, but I want to create elemental archers.

Dragons are simply awesome.

I agree with Ment, it turned out great!

I'm late again with the news.
No matter what elemental I come up with for the dwarves, it doesn't look like a dwarven unit at all, but rather some kind of demon or genie.

Now the dwarves will have a cannon! But instead of firing cannonballs, it will fire "Greek fire," so I need to attach a couple of tanks to the sides, and it will look good.

now the cannon is just AMAZING AAAAAAAA XD
the upgrade will have a different barrel.

I sense a question... and where is the promised cannon? The answer will disappoint you – it will be placed on the towers. I don't like that I can't create a proper death animation – the cannon remains standing on the battlefield as a huge piece of scrap metal. Also, I'm disappointed that the cannon has turned into a self-propelled, unmanned flamethrower tank...

At level 6, there will be old giants from the dark dwarves mod, but these will focus on magic.

And now I will write descriptions and balance the units for combining them into a pack.

I accidentally created an awkward situation – now the Dwarves have cavalry, which means they are quite ready for combat in open spaces... logically, they should also develop long-range firearms, but we already have a cannon that ignores armor, which makes close-combat infantry useless, so we need to justify why firearms haven't replaced melee fighters....

In addition to what has been said, one can recall the successes of the tercios in the 16th century! Furthermore, I think a bear is much lower in height than a horse (saddle level), so it would be easier to "slash" with a sword.

regarding "Might and Magic," I'll say this: these are dwarves, true gods of blacksmithing! if they need a blade for hacking, they'll simply adjust the center of gravity, and sharpening this blade on both sides is child's play for them.

Added 5 minutes later
as for the variety of troop types, I decided to explain it this way: these are troops from different clans, the most effective units from all over the country! bears are bred in the clan of dwarf-druids, infantry comes from the privileged nobility (they exist everywhere), archers are trained by the gunpowder clan, golems come from the mechanical city, and so on.

Indeed, in our world, cavalry existed as regular troops until the mid-nineteenth century.

Well, not the 19th, but the 20th!

Some time ago, I was planning to add a griffin to the Dwarves and chose a model from Heroes 7 as a base... that was a mistake - the texture is complex, and I also had to change the mask; I just ended up getting depressed((( But now I've gone back to the model from Heroes 5 - it's a pleasure to paint!

Khorn, for his "chaos theory" mod, created a reskin of the Heroes 5 griffons based on the Heroes 6 texture. In my opinion, it turned out very well in some places.

Maybe this texture will be useful to you. Ask him, I think he won't refuse.

well, it’s too late now)))
