Some of you may know the Wheel of Time mod already, but for those who don't:
This mod is set in Robert Jordan's fantasy world of the wheel of time, and is based on his number 1 internationally bestselling series The Wheel of Time. The game timer will start some time before the actual series starts, giving you a chance to play with nations such as Malkier and Cairhien as it was before the Aiel war, and for that matter as the Aiel before they left the Waste. This first era will be called the Flame of Tar Valon era. All nations will be playable, from the Shadow to Tar Valon or the Sea Folk. The next era will be the Dragon's Fang era. This will feature all the epic events and well-loved characters from the series, from Rand, Mat and Perrin to the Forsaken and famous Aes Sedai such as Moraine Damodred and Siuan Sanche. New factions will include the Prophet's Dragonsworn and the Seanchan, as well as the People of the Dragon, led by Rand himself.
The mod isn't just a new maps and skins mod. We also include new gameplay features such as the political intrigue of the Game of Houses, the possibility of your faction expanding to absorb new cultures (ie if you conquer another nation, their basic units and characteristics, do not change, you simply take control of them), the danger of civil war, better campaign AI (and hopefully better battle AI).
At the moment the team is working on a demo called 'The Whitecloak War' which includes 4 battles pitting the fanatical zeal of the Children of the Light against the coalition of fierce Altarans, volatile Murandians and proud Illianers. However for the main mod itself we are now looking especially for modellers, but also artists, scripters, coders and map-makers. Basically, if you can mod you can help!
So why do I post this now? Because although the quality of the work done so far satisfies us we need to try and speed up to get the full version out within a realistic timescale and get to grips with the Dragon's Fang era expansion.
For screenshots and info etc visit our subforum (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=99)
If you are a Wheel of Time fan or even if you're not and just want to participate in an exciting and revolutionary mod (which will actually be completed:san_wink:), please volunteer, even if its just to model one unit or edit one stat.
Thanks,
Myself and all the Wheel of Time Team.
