Gunpowder age

I mean, I’d love a gunpowder era mod, (one of my favorite Hyrule civs is Labrynna). From what I can tell, most of those mods die because their proprietors either move on to other projects or get bored with 0 A.D. in general. Modeling the various muskets, cannons, and retexturing lots of models is a lot of work, and many arent up to it.

Does anyone else love muskets and cannons? I remember there were some mods related to the gunpowder era, but they were all unfinished. Did they really lack appeal?

https://github.com/0ADMods/pyrogenesis-1861  This mod has a more advanced idea in this case. Creating a mod in this timeframe is entirely possible; I've thought a lot about investing time in it, but the biggest difficulties are having the structures and textures for the civilizations. Many want to help with the profiling of civilizations and units, but few want to or can help with 3D modeling and creating good textures.

I also like Labrynna, and the soldiers would look cooler walking with a goose step instead of that clumsy walk. Also, I think the trajectories of the muskets and cannons should be improved. They should be a bit faster and more accurate (I know the trajectories won't be straight, but the current settings make them look like stones being thrown). Of course, only a little bit of change in gravity, speed, and spread is acceptable, too much would be like shooting a laser.

Yeah, though that would take animation, and I’ve had troubles TW animating Neph’s models in the past.

I’ll do some tweaking. I might remove the musket balls all together, since in reality a missed shot would fly way far away, not hit the ground near the target.

I know about this mod, and it hasn't received many updates in years.

I created this thread hoping to find people with similar interests, hopefully you can find someone suitable.
