man sounds kind of like your trying to improve a game that just wont improve

[lonewolf1218]

The programers designed the game the way they did for whatever reasons they had. There really isn't any purpose to test myself against the game. I'll win if I do my thing right. The game'll cheat as much as it can, keep trying to screw up anything I do blah blah blah. If I keep havin the problems I am the game is goin back in the box for awhile. This BS of havin low IQ guys chasin musket units so they can get confused n' lose is really old. Honestly they worked how many years on this game? Sorry bit peeved right now.  Anyways hope your finals went well.

[Mitsurugi]

yeah finals went great now i am just relaxing trying to catch up on some well earned sleep. So taking a break from NA RTP

[lonewolf1218]

Glad to hear finals went well. So did ya get a ps2?

[Mitsurugi]

no not yet, bought a drawing table for 150

[lonewolf1218]

So is your interest in game design mostly grafics? I can draw/design weapons thats it. No talent for people, animals creature buildings ect. Well in my head but can't seem to transfer the images from head to paper.

[Mitsurugi]

well yeah game design is what i am in for. Also not a very good artist in my opinion but that's because i kind of belittle myself as if i don't know how to draw, if you would like i would show some of my work to you through....oh crap i forgot your using a phone. Anyways most of my work i started early but forget about it and work on it on the night before class (bad habit). Also the ideas from my head to be able to transfer it to paper look good but not what i was imagining. Do you have any art of the like?

[lonewolf1218]

doodles on paper. Like I said it's weapons. Alot of fantasy type weapons. Also a lot of stuff that I think could be useful but, I've never seen made anywhere. Alot of variations on a chinese sword, at least I refer to it as a sword. Its mostly handle 2-3 ft then a 15-25 in blade. The name of it escapes me I'll have to goggle it. It usually had a large metal ring on the handle end. I have actually held a functional 1 the guy kept telling me it was a naganato. The naganato is japanese has a longer/narrower blade a spear variation, used mounted.  Anyway I can view some attachments to emails n I don't know what else. If ya like my email is up here somewhere ya can send me some. Have you put anything in the gallery here in the koei forums?

[Mitsurugi]

yeah about three really don't have time it's under this check it out

i would like to post more stuff to it but it seems i never have the chance

[lonewolf1218]

Nice job on the horse! I really think you should keep your eyes out for any of stephan turnbulls battle bio books. There are lots of drawing photos murals n screens. I think they'd give you some more ideas.

[Mitsurugi]

Stephen Turnbulls, never heard of him. Also thanks for your compliments, horse took me for ever.

[lonewolf1218]

Labors of love oft do take time. But you have the pride of having done something well. A master swordsmith in japan will probably work a month on a katana, sometimes more. A gunsmith might spend the same time or an artist to turn out a well crafted piece. I've made a few weapons/tools nothing really noteworthy, but functional.  The turnbull book is pretty light reading just over 90 pages. It is informational and he puts forth ideas without condeming anyones actions. The books are kinda geared for wargamers. I knew a few back in the day. And I think I'd heard turnbulls name mentioned. The wargaming movement is another pre internet, gaming consoles ect thing. For an artist like yourself these books are really neat with all the drawings n' photos of period works. Worth the 3.00$ for that alone. If ya are interested just google his name.

man sounds like a pretty interesting dude, i will do some research on him

[bugg333]

You know, I never did conquer expert mode... I just changed my entire opinion on hard difficulty levels. In story modes, I tend to play easy now a days, and save the headache for if I play against real people, where a different kind of diffuculty begins.
however, what do you guys think? Should I give this another shot?

[Mitsurugi]

well welcome back bugg and yeah see if you can give it another shot
