Hello Everyone,
After having looked through several articles and books and websites concerning the time period, I believe that a Mycenaean era mod for RTW would be rather entertaining and fun. I am posting this on here because I have begun formulating plans for a Modification of this time frame and I want to know what the public opinion on such a mod would be and if anyone is willing to help me with the mod. I have a Map in mind covering just about this area
http://www.cedarville.edu/resource/education/schools/chca/othergrades/greecetd/map1.gif
And Several unit Ideas are in the works but are definitely subject to change. History is far from anywhere to being close to done, so historians are greatly needed at this point if this mod is to start. Especially specialists in the time period and people with extensive knowledge concerning Greek and Mycenaean-Greek. Someone who has some knowledge concerning Linear B would also be greatly appreciated but isn't strictly necessary. A list of Mycenaean strongholds is also being worked on, but so far we only have:
Mycenae
Tiryns
Pylos
Athens
Thebes
Orchomenus
Iolkos
Argos
Knossos
Troy
Ithaca
And Maybe Sparta
Of course this too is verrry WIP as city names will be respectively native to their lands. Same goes for most names in the game
While I will need Skinners and mappers, most needed right now are historians. But if you are a skinner or mapper and are interested, just post on here or send me a PM and I'll see if we have anything for you to do. Mappers will be needed sooner then any skinners but it really doesn't matter. Another necessity is 2d artists as I possess limited skill in such things.
One plan for the mod is to change the battle map. The cities of RTW will not do historically for TW:AoM as Mycenaean cities were in fact large palaces built on a hill with large walls around it and little houses and huts scattered around the palace/citadel. To represent this, of course, will require someone with the knowledge to edit things like this. If you can, I would greatly appreciate your help.
So finally, I will stop talking and allow you all to comment on whether or not this is a legit idea or not. If you want to help and you have skill please fill out this form in the more info box and send it to me in a pm and post it on here. If you want to join it is prefered that you join the .Org and TWC together as this will expand out options Thanks ahead if you can or if you like the idea. I'm sure this isn't everyones cup of tea but I find it rather interesting.
