Centurion : Total War?
Yes, the MOD is no longer called Rome - The Path to the Dark Age, the MOD will not be reaching the time of the Roman collapse, instead it focuses on the time period of the rise of the Roman Empire. Look forward to fighting with the Macedonians, Dacians, Carthage, Armenia and numerous other powers, Rome may be powerful but its not all powerful, their dominance is far from assured making the campaign have alot more choice as far as factions go. I decided to change the name to Centurion Total War for the simple reason that, CTW is shorter than Rome-TPTTDA and it has Total War in the title, a addition that describes my intention with the MOD, we aren't going to have Romans running over everyone with ease, we are going to have a balanced Europe where, quite literally anything can happen, that means your Europe may be dominated by the Armenians or even the Germanians Each faction will hopefully have a different feel when you play as them, obviously some will be similar, for example the Macedonians and the Greeks (or Hellenes) will hav a slightly similar feel and each of the Roman factions will be similar obviously because, essentially, they are Romans and have a very similar army.
The Factions
Here is a list of the factions you can expect to play as in the MOD, let me say this now, not all may appear in the first release but I will obviously tell you which are going to appear when it is actually released. Rest assured however, these factions will eventually all be in the MOD.
Romans
House of Julii
House of Brutii
House of Scipio
The Senate and the People of Rome
Other
The Macedonians
The Egyptians
The Seleucid Empire
The Carthaginians
The Parthians
The Kingdom of Pontus
The Gallic
The Germanians
The Britons
The Armenians
The Dacians
The Illyrians
The Scythians
The Greeks
These I must stress are the confirmed factions that will appear in the MOD, this is 18 factions which will have to do for now, but don't think that is it, its is likely that after more research I shall begin to add more factions in, lets not forget there is the FREE_## factions too meaning, I can do many more than in MTW.
Units
Ah, this is where the great community of the Org comes in This is the area in which I will very desperately need your help if you'd like to see this MOD in the next century. I can find out about some units, but lets be realistic here, do you want a MOD where each faction has about 4 units each while the Romans have masses because, that I what will happen if I go alone here. My knowledge of the make up of the armies on offer aren't great, the Romans will be amazingly easy to make units for simply because, we have alot of information on their army, I know about the Triarii and so on, but as for the Armenians and so on, my knowledge is limited. If anyone would like to come forward to help with teh units, your help will be greatly appreciated, I'm not asking you to edit the BIF's, just simply give me some names and a description, this will aid the MOD greatly and obviously speed up the finishing date.
Building
The buildings will be different for factions, barbaric factions such as the Gallic and the Germanians will get very low tech buildings and Romans will get much more advanced buildings. We are also talking about nice little added buildings too, Romans will have buildings like aquaducts to raise population happiness, colesseums to allow the building of Gladiators and so on. Barbarians will most likely have their own special buildings aside their basic also, though what these are is undecided so far. Building logos will, for the time being, have very little editting so aquaducts will not look like aquaducts, it will be a blank icon saying aquaduct on it. This is because, my graphics skills are not exactally top notch.
In the case of the Romans
The Romans have, as you can see earlier on, been split up. They are no longer a big faction, they are a collection of factions. Why did I choose to do this? Well, it adds another obstacle to Roman expansion and dominance, one being, you've got the Senate barking orders at you and not allowing you to fight with other Romans as they are the Papacy. I think it adds more fun for playing as the Romans, it also stops a Roman horde pouring over Europe, the same kind of thing was implemented in the Patrician MOD earlier on, just this time there is alot more Roman factions, I believe KD used one Roman faction and the Senate, here you get three Roman factions, the same as in RTW, and the Senate. Makes thing more fun basically, thats the point. As for you been trapped and forced to attack other Romans, not so, you'll have boats allowing you access to mainland, attacking the other Romans will be an option, not forced action.
Music
Am I planning to change the music? Right no, the answer is a no. Rome will get Catholic, Eastern Factions will get Msulim and Barbarians will get the Viking music. I must stress, this is for now, I will try my best to give you some music to make it feel more Roman, but it will not be in the first release.
Screenshots?
Tommorrow I will be posting some screenshots of the finished Campaign Map, I think it looks like a Roman strategic map, the colours are the right kind and everything so, I like it. Battle screenshots won't be seen for a little while but I'll try and post screenshots as often as I can.
Anything else
Not that I cant think of, only, updates will be coming every day now when work as been done, a day where there is no updates mean either, I have had a day off or their isn't anything interesting enough for you to know about. Idea's are all welcome, please refrain from posting in the previous MOD, please use this one, Moderators can, if they like, delete the old post.
Thank You
