Hello. I admit that i'm not a very good anything (except reading) in the area of Modding games. That's why i want to recruit some people to help me. I am working towards making some border villages have a defensive area that makes it a challenge to capture them. I speak for myself when i say that i get bored just running around a village and killing everyone in 2 seconds. This adds a challenge besides avoiding houses during charges. If anyone would like to join me in creating this modification, then just PM me or Post here.
[This will contain links to photos of my first (still in progress) modification of the Nord town Haen.

this is a picture of the outer general defence area. if you look closely, you can see the broken walls. they are used like battlemenst to shoot out of. the walls defend characters from archer fire. Stakes and wall (partly) also defend versus cavalry.

the inside of the indicated black circle is like a last-stand area. it funnels and slows down enemy troops.
Here's a Video for you to look at. Its my first one with narration (first ever time using a mic O_o) Attached file has video.

I have now decided to change my village to be more realistic. It has stakes etc. around the village square, not just a big house in a hay field. I will post Photos soon...
Here they are...

This is all a change version of Haen. ignore my first image post.
Post now.
This looks more like it should be in the Explorer's Society. Can I move it?
This looks a really good little mod, though. Have you looked at using AI meshes? To make your defences work properly you'll probably need 'em.
You can move it, sure.
to your question, the only thing i know about AI meshes is that they make characters do something. idk anything else about them :( ... Maybe you could help with that?
I can't see any images ...

Here's a tutorial. Vairy helpful. :)
@ lordryan756 : I took the liberty of editing your post... Everything should work fine now
Thanks for the help Jubal. i'll start working on it right away.
Note: this probably means the villagers etc. how do you do the soldiers? i haven't read entire thing so idk if it's in there....
It's exactly the same, that tut was done with a villager theme in mind but soldiers use AI meshes just the same.
Updated pictures. also, thanks for that piece of knowledge jubal. that helps.
