Napoleonic command (poll to choice graphs)

Post by welk »

In prevision of a future adaptation of my ancien battle mod (that will be finalized soon) to napoleonic battles, I have a choice to do about graphs to use, because I have 2 collections of napoleonic graphs :

1/ The collection N° 1 is that :

2/ The collection N°2 is that :

No any of these graph collections come from my own work, they come from very old other games (no more supported games : years 1995-1998 : 1° collection is a original vanilla set of graphs use din a old game ; 2° collection is a set made by a russian or british modder for another old game)

But the problem is : Which collection should I use ? I can't decide in one way or in other (great hesitation)

I need to do a poll => Please, vote : what graphs collection you would prefer for the mod ?
Note that images/graphs are not definitive : I will re-work them, the 2 screens are used just for the poll

List of units will probably be that :

Cuirassiers
Grenadiers à cheval
Carabiniers à cheval
Cav de la Garde
Chevaux-léger (cav légère à moyenne)
Lanciers
Chasseurs à cheval
Hussards
Dragons

Inf de la Garde
Inf légère de la Garde
Inf légère
Tirailleurs
Inf de ligne
Elite inf de ligne
Inf de forteresse

Artill de la Garde
Artill légère à pied
Artillerie moyenne à pied
Artillerie heavy à pied
Artill de cavalerie

Engineers

A n°3 collection would also be possible (if some prefer vote for) : integral view on top graphs (exactly like ancient battle graphs units). These graphs would come with shadows for relief (there are not yet shadows on the current image)
These graphs (some a little modified) come from a mod made by mkr8683, a player-modder of Winspww2 (shrapnel games)

The choice will be betwtween N°1,2 or 3

if you can't make your mind up on which set, add them all if you can, would make a good option as a choice?

It's an excellent idea ;) , and I plane that for the ancient battle mod (3D= graphs of Age of Empire ; Nato = actual graphs "view on top"

I will also probably follow your suggestion for Napo adaptation : 3D = sprites collection N° 1 or N° 2 ; Nato = sprites view on top (collection N°3)

But the problem stays for collection N°1 and N°2 : what would be the best ? I can't decide at this time, I need external advices. Concerning collection N°1, graphs are ready ; concerning collection N°2, I would have to re-work lot of things. But he angle of view of sprites is not exactly the same between N° 1 and N°2 and I can't decide me about that.

After theAncient battles mod (that is in final work), what preference ? (priority)

- Napoleonic battle ?
- US Independance war ?
- US Civil war ? (this theater of war does not interest me at strategic scale, but it's interessant in battle scale)

In all cases, the mod will be a generic tool (2 armies, red/blue side with generic paramets, modifyable in editor) that allows players to build quickly and easely (with editor) their own historical battles if the subject interest them.
