This is my first ever mod for anything, and I think it came out well, but any critisism would be greatly appreciated. Personally, I really hated the lord given to you by default, because he looked like the bastard son of a swordsman and a knight with a superman cape to add variety. I ended up keeping the cape, but I changed EVERYTHING else except the scabbard, including his face. (for those of you that haven't seen yet, he has cyan eyes and a white beard.)I recommend using this model with the king's sword, but I'll be constructing a new one of those as well. In retrospect, I really would like to create something cooler for a lord, so if anyone has any *good* ideas, please send them to Karlon654@live.com, and I will gladly create them custom for you. I won't submit anyone else's ideas without their express permission, by the way.
INSTALLATION:
Backup you Lord.dds file, then extract this one to the "C:\\Program Files\Firefly Studios\Stronghold 2\meshes\units\models" directory.
The file is named goldenlord.dds, after extracting to the proper folder, you need to re-name it lord.dds.
Nice work. I really like the gold parts. A complete gold armor would probably look good.

Actually, I tried that already. :/ The full gold armor makes him look too shiny, imo. Although, if you would like me to, I could do it again and put it up here for you.
Also, thanks for the correction on the install directions, I totally forgot to put that in there!

hey i like your golden lord but could you make a second one just like it but w/o the cyan eyes and the white beard? also taking out the shine on the black part would also look good. other than that I rate it a 5/5... good work ill be downloading any new mods you make.
also in addition to what he said... if you dont know how to use the kings sword with this mod go to C:/Program Files/ Firefly Studios/ Stronghold 2/meshes/units/models and COPY the files (king_sword.GR2 and king_sword.low.GR2) to a different location BACK UP THE ORIGIONALS rename the copied files to lord_sword.GR2 and lord_sword.low.GR2. start the game and you are useing the kings sword. also you can do this with the other lords, for instance you could take away the hawks mace and give him edwins sword and barclays hammer to olafs axe and olafs axe to your lords origional sword. i have made a folder that you can use to do just that... providing it gets loaded. my first one had a few flaws and it was just for your lord but i have modified it to work for all the lords. all i have really done is renamed a few files...lol. again i love this file...
keep up the good work!!

What programs did you use to modify the GR2 file?!
