What faction would you most like to see added?

[Brother Derfel]

Just interested to see what would be the most popular new faction to be made playable in a possible future expansion pack.

(BTW new to the forum so forgive me if this one has already been done)


Thanks

[rpasell]

None of the above as most of those factions can be modded to playable already.

I'd like to see the time period regressed to start late in the roman empire, or even a late greek period.

There is good documentation on Modding in the downloads sections of both .org, and .com I would recommend checking there first. Mostly, it's just editing text files.

[CeltiberoMordred]

Have u ever think in Aragonese? :P I'd like to add news GA for all non-playables factions in the game, in addiiton of titles for them

Irish Yeah although it would be pretty tough, game-wise, with the english right there.... and being forced to develop ships before you could do any invading...

I'm half Irish http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[fenir]

Foreign_Devil
Which Half? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif


Note:I have the following already playable.
Burgundians
Hungary
Also Scilians
Aragonese
Well I really have them all, the Only one you can't play is the pope, I left him so he can be annoying.

I am currently changing the swiss over to Vlach.

rpasell
The Game DOES start in the late Roman Empire period.

Roman Empire/Byzantine (which is what latins call it) starts with one of their greatest Emporers.
Alexis I Comenus.
If you want it later, then change the start date.

I vote for all of them, and more. The best notice would be an expansion with all the european, north african and asian countries (all the countries in the MTW map) playable. With an advanced diplomacy system that allows true alliances, etc, etc ,etc, etc. It'd be a perfect MTW http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Ah, and i'd like that all catholic factions can launch crusades

[Hagbard la Suede]

Scottish of coursehttp://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
I'm scottish on my mothers side.

[Victorius Maximus]

The Portuguese. For some balance against the super-Almos

[Knight_Yellow]

Its gotta be the scotts there so ignored in single player i hate having to conquer my own country so i pay them off instead, but that makes them look cheap...
Hell the best medieval war film of all time with the exception of henry v was braveheart ok not very true to life but hot damn.
every1 has heard of the scotts and if u havent open ur eyes.

[Gregoshi]

I've known a few guys named Scott. They were all nice guys. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/shock.gif

[FesterShinetop]

The pope of course But only if there is an option to excommunicate the other factions and call for crusades Should be nice if you would even get paid by the other factions if they want to launch a crusade...

[Foreign Devil]

Stupid Pope.... he excomunicated me twice, then called for a crusade against me.... never saw one, though.....

I usually ignore the pope. Haven't played as italians, yet, though. That should prove interesting.

[Alrowan]

Brother Derfel.... now which book is that one from again.... thats right The Winter King

good choice of name... poor old hafgan died

anyways, burgundy was a real player in the middle ages, so id like them in

lol, I was wondering if anyone would notice where it came from. 10 points and a pat on the back to you sir.

I also chose the Burgundians, and i would like to see more centeral European states playable as well, particulary the German ones.

I have downloaded a Campaign Mod from totalwar.org called Storm over Europe I think. It alows you to play the Burgundians, Swiss and Pope

Worth looking at, my Burgundians now control most of southern Europe and are spreading East against that pagan horde http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/argue.gif

[MrJedi]

Hmm...

Swiss and/or Papacy

Swiss are just cool, I can never resist putting some Swiss (armoured, hehehe) pikes just because... 'Cept their victory condition would be something like never get conquered

And papacy, well, lol

[Shahed]

Well i would like to see some bombastic babe in the expansion, like in one of the loading screens something nice to look at while you wait for battle. LOOL

[Kraellin]

i've just uploaded a new campaign mod that allows for 19 playable factions and has no land bridges. it's available for download at the test downloads area of the .org. the name is 'K_s_EarlyRussiaQ.zip'. read the readme and make sure you back up all the applicable original files before using

If you play as Italians, you have to get used to crusades shuttling through your territory and using your trade network to land at their destination, being attacked by the pope, being excommunicated by the pope, exterminating the pope and being filthy rich. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I generally don't really like playing Italians due to all of the above, but the most fun campaigns I've played were as Italians.

I really like the Turkish unit roster, but their start position in early is awful and the barrage of crusades gets really annoying.

[SmokWawelski]

Well, back to the initial question: I voted other because I would like to play as Templars, or other military order in that matter. I know that there is a mod for either them or some other new order-faction, I just need to find it and download it http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif, and I surely will cause I have seen the screenshots

[_Martyr_]

I would love to see the irish as a playable faction, well mainly because i am irish, but besides that there is scope for a very challenging game to avoid becoming a british imperial possesion, Kerns and gallowglasses are fun to play with but how about some more elite units?? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

[CeltiberoMordred]

I think that should be added all those lands that during the XI-XVth were recognized kingdoms (but not all available since Early, of course, each one when they emerge). So, i would like to be added Scotland, Wales, Portugal, Lithuania, Navarre, Norway, Sweden, Serbia, Bulgaria and perhaps Naples (apologizes if i forget someone). IMHO, Irish are fun and challenging, but historically their land was very anarchyc, i dont think that should be considered an organizated faction (apologizes again). Crusaded kingdoms perhaps should be considered like independent factions too. Also, i dont like the distinction between major and minor faction, all factions should be playable.

But, maybe, the best solution is: no rebels, all factions.

[TheViking]

sweden ofcus, but the scottish would have been nice too

[I_Love_Sherri]

I think the Huns would be a great civ to add. Lots and Lots of fun. Originating in central Asia, the Huns were a Mongolian tribe who invaded southeastern Europe and managed to build a remarkable empire. Mostly cavalary tribe , but I believe this game falls a little after their prime time.

[scotchedpommes]

One thing I would be in favour of is all rebel factions declaring themselves separate factions, if only so you can negotiate or ally with them. Failing that, I would like to see the Scots playable (Being a Scot), and a more complex diplomacy system.

Ireland the land of saints and punk rock http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif
The scots the welsh the tiny little part of the basque country the mighty all conquering serbs all seem more
togeather to you.
The fact Ireland is an Independent country
and Scotland, Wales, Navarre, and Napels are not
shows we could not have been all that anarcistic http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

ooooo how about play as a mercenary Army now that would be COOL http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wacko.gif

[Heretic]

All factions as playable ones should be in a future add-on, expansion, whatever. That would spice up the game a bit IMO.

[Zauba'a]

Excuse me, I just needed to get my 25th post here...


oh...I'd vote for the People of Novgorod -- if they'd just get some more units for em.

[Sir Black Raven]

I would like to see Portugal as Playable faction and the factions of Castile & leon aswell. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[The Marcher Lord]

Although probably unknown to people outside of Wales I would vote for the Welsh. In the 13th and early fifteenth centuries they kicked English butts under the leadersip of guys like Llewelyn the Great and Owain Glyndwr. And in the end we did end up with the Welsh on the English throne, how ?, well because Henry Tudor was Welsh and the Tudor surname is still popular in Wales

Could be fun starting playing as Rome/Roman Empire or some of the other ancient empires (Egypt, Greeks etc etc), but for starts playing as the Scottish could be great... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Theodoret]

It would be nice to start the campaign a little earlier (say 700AD) and have an Anglo-Saxon faction with huscarls. The present English faction could be renamed the Norman faction. I would quite like to see a Caliphate faction as well if the map could be altered to include Mesopotamia. Beefing up some of the present factions would be a good idea though. Neither the Polish nor the Danes were as weak historically as they appear in the game (the Polish in particular had a very good army). Some fancy light cavalry and horse archers for the Hungarians would be good too. Oh, and a Bulgarian faction so that we can have a Basil Bulgaroctonus campaign.

[kataphraktoi]

Normans for sure, stuff the sicilians(as a faction), they would be a nice factor in the equation that is medieval total war. In real life they were a handful for the Pope, the English, the Byzantines, the Germans and the Almohads. I reckon they would be a very very nasty faction to include in an expansion pack, they start with provinces like Normandy(From the English), Sicily and Naples(from the Byzantines)as an enemy they would be interesting to confront, as a faction a strategic starting posiiton in terms of conquest, etc.
Unique Units I would like to see is the Norman Knight.
Robert Guiscard as the starting leader of the faction and glorious achievements like a Crusade to Antioch or something like that.

[RectalDamage]

I'd like to see the americans. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[Lord of the morning]

I would vote for the pope, or maybie I just did? but anyways the reason for the pope being of intresst is that i fell that the diplomatic part of the game is underdeveloped i would prefere a more complex diplomacy (Like the one in Alpha centaruri)and the possibility to excomunicate and call for crusades as well as sponsoring thosa I fell worthy would grant exra diplomatic flavour to the game, however even better would be if the entire diplomatic sgment was upgraded for the expansion and at least for RTW.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

In response to Lord of The Morning's call for a more complex diplomacy system in RTW, It would be great to actually hammer out treaties when declaring a ceasefire or forging an alliance. You could set the condition that they have to pay yearly for the privilege of being your ally, or agree to keep armies away from each others borders.
