Hello TW community,
Today I bring you a new mod, Dark Ages Total War. Dark Ages TW will be a mod starting in 500 CE (or AD) and running until sometime in the 7th century or the beginning of the 8th century. The Dark Ages TW will be a modification for Rome - Total War: Barbarian Invasion that will attempt to depict the power struggles and rise of various factions after the fall of the western roman empire. The area covered will be the same as BI but expanded to the north some. This is because the main focus is meant to be on western europe, not discounting that the Byzantines and surrounding factions will also be present and not neglected in this mod.
The factions that I have chosen so far will be listed below. However, this is not nearly the final list for the factions, and I also wish to make good use of the emerging factions feature to represent factions that were not present in 500 CE but came into power later in the timeframe of this mod.
The Factions: this is not the final list, as mentioned above
Byzantine Empire
Kingdom of Burgundy
Franks
Visigoth Kingdom
Alemanni
Anglo-Saxons (or a split of these)
Britanni
Vandals
Moors
Longobards/Lombards
Sassanids
Arabs
Sueves
Danes
Picts
Gepids
Slavs
Scotii
The map, as mentioned above, will feature the same area as the RTW: BI map with expansion to the north. I am currently deciding between creating an entirely new map of my own, or heavily editing the BI map, including expanding it to the north. If the BI map is used, then the regions will be entirely customized and the overall map improved.
Here is what i've done so far with the map, it is far from finished but I am working on it.

Several maps I will be basing things on: (i have many more I am looking at though)

I only announced this project a few days ago on TWC, so I only have myself and a couple of historians right now. We really need modellers and skinners. If you're interested, post here, PM me or contact me on msn at atheistpeace@optonline.net
And if anyone is wondering, this project does not mean I am leaving Imperium TW, or downgrading my contribution to that mod drastically.
For the time being, I will be running development here: http://s10.invisionfree.com/Imperium_Total_War/index.php?showforum=61
