Another wars?

The Seven Years’ War was fought across the globe and called by some the first “World War” as virtually every major power participated. In the center of events was Prussia, almost constantly at war and lead by the now legendary Frederick the Great.

Relive the exciting and trying days of Frederick the Great in Horse and Musket: Volume I, the improved and expanded combination of the previous Prussian War Machine and Prussia’s Glory titles. Horse and Musket: Volume I is a reboot of the successful Horse and Musket series, including not only two solid historical titles in one package, but also many new game features, a powerful new editor, and a complete graphics overhaul to an already acclaimed gaming system.

And more.... i think that the game will be editable even for units, so every player might edit uniforms and battles.

Howitz are able to fire in strom line of fire. So in efects made them able to file over the hills to hiden units. In HnM make it different from where you shoot. Another question is do you want to make wagonns and tabors and horse artillery (firing cavalry?). This supposted be silly question but is eating time to looking for the similary asks or answers. So forgive me

I wanted to clarify one point...there is no "uniform editor" in the game. The units are tga files.

They can be edited in a 3rd party program.

The re-release does have a full scenario (map, unit, game date) editor.

Hi Tim,

please give us a tool to edit uniforms [8D], a tool like it is available with "Medieval 2" by Jeff Lapkoff (it's a tool to create any unit graphic you want, the editor is creating the "mask" automatically, a real great tool!!!) ... this is a real missing thing ... it would enhance the game features to become a mod-machine for to create all 18th - 17th - 19th centuries battles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE! Image

I checked out Midevil2...nice editor.

Just to clarify expectations...no uniform editor in this first re-release.

But it will be high on the list for the next.

Hi Anvil,

that's correct: MTW2 ins't Medieval 2 [;)]

This is Medieval 2 I'm talking off:

Review on Medieval 2

The editor allows to create as many armies (symbolsets) as you want, have a look here:

http://www.trenck-dragoner.de/_sgg/m1m1_1.htm

- I hope HnM will get an editor which makes the creation of armies very simple (drag-and-drop [8D]).
