1.10

Added compatibility to mods ExpandedFactions, Distinct Factions and Elemental: New order. All mounts are now available for each faction with this mod installed. All added mounts use standard values only. Note that some mounts will be duplicated because of this.

1.11

Dragons are only available in the shop, and cannot be used for units (they have normal stats). Fixed compatibility with EF faction Living Stone.

1.12

Replaced the standard horse skeleton to make the rider actually sit in the saddle. For a comparison before/after, see the pictures below. This was applied to core horses and horses from this mod. Other modders will need to apply the skeleton themselves to their mount xml.

Before: http://i.imgur.com/tBVgL.jpg
After: http://i.imgur.com/NG5Lm.jpg

1.13

Replaced the fake skeletons for drakes and slags with a modded proper version, this means animations look a lot better for those mounts.

1.14

Added missing texture to Armored Hellbrutes and Armored Sandbrutes.
Added Ghost Skath
Added Black Skath
Added Ghost Shrill
Added Ghost Slag
Added Ghost Dragon
Added Ghost Deer
From now on I'll upload youtube videos as the list of screenshots above has become unmanageable

They look quite awesome. That said, I am very interested in what you learned when working on them with Akil. For instance: How did you get access to the skeletons?

Begging.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to share the files I used or not, which is why I haven't. But the result, I'll share.

This is where I'm at, at the moment, for the bear mount

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/6665/elemental1288393828.jpg

I need to figure out how to make the top texture transparent to allow the game to colour the model.

heavenfall, you could call the bear 'polar' to polar beat the enemy, but I guess the pun is un-bear-able.

is the polar bear too white?

Edit: released 1.1 with bear mounts. They cost horses, instead of wargs.

Edit2: Crap, forgot to add elf support. Will do in next release.

Uploaded 1.4 with the drake mount. There's some clipping on the left side of the mount with the rider's leg, and the tail seems to have a life of its own. But it's the best I can do until more skeletons are released.

They're too different, I'm afraid.

In the future, we will.

Looks like any other mount. I'm not into that whole "make a youtube" thing, really. You might as well try it. Screenshots should give you a fair idea.

Wow great job! Was this done using Maya? I haven't been trying to get my models in game from Max in a while, I kinda got burned out from it. Nevertheless glad to see you got this to work, keep it up!

Yeah primarily Maya (but also max for ripping models). There is a modders' pack with a walkthrough that was shared to some people over IRC, but I am not allowed to share it yet.

Right now I'm planning on dividing the mounts into 5 categories in 3 tiers (wargs and horses are considered tier 0);

Tier 1; skath and bears. Skath will be found in swamps, and provide the rider with +1 strength and +1 combatspeed. Bears will be found in forests, and provide the rider with +1 agility and +1 combat speed.

Tier2: Brutes and primal bears. Brutes are found in deserts, and provide the rider with +2 strength, +1 combat speed and a unique charge ability doing +30% damage once per combat. Primal bears are found in hills, and provide the rider with +2 agility and +1 combat speed and a unique ability that increases defense by 100% but removes all combat speed for 1 turn (usable once per combat).

Tier3: Drakes. Drakes will only be found in minor faction cities, they will also only be available for purchase there. All drakes add +2strength and +2agility, and 1 combat speed. White drakes also add a powerful health regeneration to the rider. Black drakes grow increasingly furious as a tactical combat progresses, and will give the rider +3attack and -2defense for every turn that passes. Red drakes add a significant amount of health to the rider.

edit: mounts will also give health bonuses according to their tier, so tier1 adds 1 health to units riding it, tier 2 adds 2 health and tier 3 adds 3 health. edit2: this will be significantly higher for champions.

There will also be armoured horses and wargs, which will be brought in from the barded horses mod + a barded warg model, and they will be equivalent to tier 1 mounts, but will cost a lot more than just the "mount" resource (ie, more than just a warg or a horse). All the other mounts will be free of charge if you have the "mount" resource for units.

Of course this will be adapted to suit the new mounts in 1.1.

edit: also, umberdroth will be somewhere in there, probably tier 2.

What?! You mean I can't put barding on my drakes?

You have mentioned a lot of stats for the various mounts. I presume that they all also give the +1 overland map movement speed bonus? How about having some mount(s) able to give a +2 map movement?

Yeah, the mounts give +1 to strategic movement as well. No armor for anything but horses and wargs until someone does a model for that.

Since they've pushed back the beta for another week, I'll be releasing the tiered mount mod later today.
