Welcome! Welcome to the Sword & Arrow: European Wars Website! Also known as
S.A.M. for short, the mod is medieval based encompassing the period in Europe
between mid 1000 A.D. to late 1400 A.D. It uses the dmcr engine, which games
includes Cossacks & American Conquest. For more information on the mod
please click "Introduction" in the left menu.
30th March 2013 Walls,
Keep & Tower Posted by Fallen_KNiGHT_AC
This is the Walls, Keep and the Tower for the mod. Units can be garrisoned inside
the Keep and Tower, this gives an arrow attack bonus for every unit garrisoned,
there are limits to how many units can be garrisoned in each of the buildings.
Those familiar with Cossacks : European Wars will remember that when a wall is
built a gate can be built, this is done by clicking on a section of wall, this
will be the same in the mod. You will also be able to do the same with Towers,
if you click a section of wall a Tower can be built, there will be strict limits
on how many Towers can be built for a section of wall, this limits players to
just building one section of Towers, Towers can also be free standing built,
such as the one in the screenshot. Keeps and Towers can be captured by storming
them, just like in American Conquest.

Pikeman Posted by Fallen_KNiGHT_AC I
thought it had been a while since an update on the mod was posted, here I have
uploaded the English Pikeman unit with all the animations, I am still thinking
of changing the coat of arms on the shirt to the 3 lions as used later by the
English royals, but until I pack them and view in GP Viewer I am unsure if you
would even be able to see it in the game so I am unsure on this. Another option
with this unit I am considering is whether to enable sword attack as well, this
would allow the Pikeman unit to be strong against cavalry when using the Pike
weapon but weak when using the sword weapon, the bonus would be attack against
other infantry units using swords.

15th May 2011 Original
American Civil War screens Posted by Fallen_KNiGHT_AC I
finally found my collection of screenshots of the original American Civil war
game that GSC started to develop (this would later be completed by Revolution
Strategy) it gives a good insight on where the game was headed and some of the
features that never made the final game. You can view the screens in the Articles
Archive section.

unit! Posted by Fallen_KNiGHT_AC
Enter the English Longbowman! I am proud to announce the Sword & Arrow mod
first unit in the game, the English Longbowman, I am very happy with how the
unit turned out, I am also liking how the national color is displayed; reds,
oranges, teal, browns, looks really good on the unit! Fellow modder OSS is going
to make the MD file for the unit. He is going to make it so the arrows
trajectory looks realistic in its flight path, so it will curve up in the air as
it comes down. Below are some screens of the Longbowman:

placing it in the game. Some of the animations are below:

15th February 2011 New
tool uploaded GSC File Lister v1.0 Posted by Fallen_KNiGHT_AC
Although this site is not quite ready I thought I would post some small news up. When you are modding Cossacks or American Conquest it has become apparent to me that listing all the .bmp file names for your animation gp's is tedious to say the least, so I decided to make a small batch file to resolve this issue and make it automated, with this tool, which I have named GSC File Lister v1.0 all you need to do is right click the folder with all your .bmp's in it and click the menu to create the .lst file with all the .bmp file names in it. You can download the file
here.
