In Development / Victoria's Colonial Wars: Anglo-Sudan War/Zulu (Need Modelers)

« on: December 09, 2013, 10:06:56 am »

--Victorias Colonial Wars--

Good news, everyone!
The AZW Mod team has returned from hiatus and has begun production on a new modification in the same historical   vein as the original. Scrapping both AZW and the now defunct AZW:Resurrection, this new mod seeks to display and showcase British historical conflicts throughout the late 19th century, including the early phases of the Anglo-Sudan War, the Anglo-Zulu War, as well as, later on in the mod's development, conflicts in Afghanistan and other regions.

This new mod will reduce the focus on PvP from the AZW section and convert it into a more horde-type survival experience, due to popular demand. New British units (Including foreign auxiliaries and an expanded Boer presence) will be introduced for the sake of content and historical accuracy. Zulus will be rebalanced (No more pesky sniper-spears!) and, like the entirety of the new Anglo Zulu War portion of the mod, redone in both models and textures.

 At the same time, the Anglo-Sudan war will be focused mainly around PvP, with Sudanese players standing more of a chance against the British faction in a 1 on 1 duel. AZW will still be playable in PvP, but will not be a primary focus of the new modification. New weapons and uniforms, as well as units and regiments will be added, distinguishing this more modern British army from its older counterpart in the Zulu war.

Like AZW Before it, VCW will be multiplayer only, and require Mount and Blade Warband, as well as the Napoleonic Wars DLC.

Summary of new features (TLDR):

Spoiler

-Completely re-done mod from scratch, featuring the British (Older/Newer), Zulu, and Sudanese factions (With more to come later on)
-New Graphics, models, weapons, and uniforms for the British, Zulus, and Sudanese.
-2British Factions:1 for Sudan conflict. 1 for zulu!
-New maps and scenarios
-Zulu will be focused on PvE, Sudan/Afghan will be focused on PvP
-reattach/detach Bayonets
-Ammo Boxes
-sprinting for zulus
-camels
-camels scaring horses
-Hopfully things you guys request

We would like to stress that VCW is /not/ an update or a continuation of the first AZW mod. It is a fully new version of the original AZW built from the bottom up.

The Anglo-Zulu War / The Anglo-Zulu/Sudan War Reloaded

« on: December 01, 2013, 12:10:59 am »

What is this mod?

After two years, it's finally here, an update to the Anglo Zulu War. This mod is a total overhaul of Anglo Zulu war, rebuilt from the ground up. It aims to to be completely superior to the previous Anglo Zulu War while offering the familiar fun gameplay of fighting off endless Zulus.

The setting, if you're interested

Spoiler

The Anglo-Zulu War was fought in 1879 between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom. Following a campaign by which Lord Carnarvon had successfully brought about federation in Canada, it was thought that similar combined military and political campaigns might succeed with the various African kingdoms, tribal areas and Boer republics in South Africa. In 1874, Sir Henry Bartle Frere was sent to South Africa as High Commissioner for the British Empire to bring the plans into being. Among the obstacles were the presence of the independent states of the South African Republic and the Kingdom of Zululand and its army. Frere, on his own initiative, without the approval of the British governmen and with the intent of instigating a war with the Zulu, had presented an ultimatum on 11 December 1878, to the Zulu king Cetshwayo with which the Zulu king could not comply. Cetshwayo did not comply and Bartle Frere sent Lord Chelmsford to invade Zululand.The war is notable for several particularly bloody battles, including a stunning opening victory by the Zulu at Isandlwana, as well as for being a landmark in the timeline of imperialism in the region.  The war pitted British troops equipped with Single shot breech loading Martini-Henry rifles, against vastly greater numbers of Zulu warriors, armed with short stabbing spears and cowhide shields. The Zulus were no savages though, having an organised system of supply and strategic tactics. The war eventually resulted in a British victory and the end of the Zulu nation's independence.

The Anglo-Zulu War / Pro UK or Pro Zulu?

« on: January 22, 2013, 05:47:10 pm »

ugh...When I hear people say this mod this pro British. It angers me to the max. I can understand why you would say that cause well the British have guns and Zulus have hide shields and sticks. I understand that can make it sound like its pro Brits. So in hearing that I changed my server to PvP Yesterday "BAC_PvP_Server". After playing about 10maps of 11vs11. Its not unbalanced at all. My regiment went Zulus and kicked the shit out of the brits most of the time. (not to mention we were organised) Then after we were winning most of the time people would leave the server cause they would get their ass kicked? I hear people bitch and bitch about how this mod is pro brits. Maybe if you would stop judging the game cause of bots(which is not a human people). I cant help the facted that people bitch also about the server when its PvP. Learn to Play PvP and dont leave cause you get ur ass kicked or cant play as brits. Also dont suck at meele and rage quit.

I feel as though complain about useless shit when they havent tried to play PvP.

Events / BAC Event Rules "Remember We Are Still Testing these"

« on: January 08, 2013, 05:13:39 pm »

The following is the rules as endorsed by the AZW mod team. These do not have to be used but are the advised rule set, may change over time as testing progresses.

One primary difference in these events (BAC events specifically) is that all regiments are required to accept the leadership of a General who will usually be a trusted regiment leader. This general shall command that team through whisper on teamspeak. You must follow his orders, signing up to a BAC endorsed event is taken as an agreement of such. This also applies to the Zulu Amabutho (regiments).

General Rules, pretty basic.

No purposeful teamkilling.
It is appreciated that all regiments show good sportsmanship.
Respect your appointed general regardless of his decisions.
Don't rambo. Once below 4 men in any unit you must join another line.
Must not use incomplete units.

British

Must Be in Formation to Fire.
British mounted Infantry (Frontier Light Horse,Carbineers and Natal Mounted police) may only fire when dismounted, may reload on horse.
1 artillery piece per every 50 British players.
Regiments may only have 2 officers if they number above 20.
No more than 4 playing as sergeant.
May deploy into buildings/defences (crouching and irregular formation).
May not pick up Zulu weapons.
May crouch.


Zulu.

Only 1 Regiment of Sharpshooters, to whom general skirmish rules apply.
All else must play regular Zulu infantry.
No ramboing.
1 Officer per 20 men.
May crouch at any time, use natural cover as needed.
Must not pick up British weapons.
