Does that replace female?

[SeanBeansShako]

Could we have the face paint stuff as non natives?

[kpetschulat]

Where's that beta video?

[usnavy30]

Does that replace female?

I'll check if it's the same looking for females. Edit: Regarding face paint for females, maybe phase 2

Could we have the face paint stuff as non natives?

Facepaint is being made for natives face variety, I can discuss it but Blitz says it is fun making these.

Where's that beta video?

To not have shots fired, in the short story form it is not coming from our first fellow that said he was going to. He didn't do it in the end.

Check out the pictures and description of a new map for the War of 1812 mod.

Queenston Heights (Battle, Conquest)
Queenston Heights is the first large battle of the War of 1812. A large American force, located at the town of Lewiston, New York on the south bank of the Niagara River, attempts to cross the river and establish a foothold on the strategic Niagara escarpment on the Canadian side. The US regulars cross first as there are not enough boats to transfer the entire force at once. Captian Wool, of the 13th US infantry, lands further down river than planned and discovers an unguarded fisherman's path that allows his small force to approach the British redoubt on the heights above Queenston Village from behind and surprise it's defenders. News reaches General Brock, the commander of British forces in Upper Canada, and troops from Fort George further down river are dispatched to eliminate the American foothold before it becomes to strong. As the British and their native allies press the American position on the heights, furture General Winfield Scott calls for urgent reinforcements from the south bank of the river. However, the remaining troops here are all New York militia. They can hear the terrifying war crys and musketry from the far bank and refuse to cross into Canada on the grounds that they are only obligated to serve in defense of New York State. The US regulars inflict heavy casulties on the attacking British force but are eventually overwehlmed by superior numbers. General Brock himself is killed climbing the steep slope of Queenston Heights. Winfield Scott and the survivors amongst the US regulars are taken prisoner. Scott is later returned to the US Army on a prisoner exchange. The Americans learn a hard lesson on the unreliability of their militia when using them in offensive operations in Canada.

From those pictures of the Queenston Heights battle and conquest map I see a new cannon texture and I love the look of it!
And may I suggest, Battle of York?

[BSM 'Shut up' Williams]

Lovely map, I'll like this one.

Looks great cant wait

[SeanBeansShako]

Your mapping is excellent like always Blitz, will you be doing a few nice big and medium sized generic sort of battlefield for the line events too?

Random map generator boredom is the biggest killer.

[Blitz_craig]

Lundy's Lane, Chippewa, and North Point are currently in game and all would due for a decent line battle I think. If anyone in the mapping community has a subject for a map from the War of 1812 that they would like to see in the game, I encourage them to take a crack at it. For example, there are plenty of subjects left to cover, Bladensburg, York, Chrysler's Farm. I can't guarantee that a War of 1812 themed map would make it into the mod for sure, but if it is at least of average quality it probably would since maps take up very little room in the module.

I might take a crack at Bladensburg or possibly Detroit I don't think it will come anywhere near the job that Blitz does thought.
