Medieval - Total War mod

[VikingHorde]

I have started working on units for a medieval mod and the first unit is almost done. The mod will be different to the original game because of the different structure of the game. Most units will be based on the units of the original game. I will post more details when I have explored RTW some more.

Why don't you merge with the CTW mod? It would be very productive.

[VikingHorde]

I prefeer the medieval period from 1086-1456 because of the little use of gunpower. I also have most of the research material (pics and info) from the XL mod, so I can start easyer on the mod.

[Amir-san]

You guys CAN cooperate though, make one a sequel to one another. Dont you think? :)

[Armchair Athlete]

Yes! A medieval mod!! I was waiting for someone to start this. If you need any assistance with research I have heaps. I have done quite a bit more since the XL mod and have a heap of stuff researched. I cant really do any actual modding, but I could help write unit/faction descriptions if you want. Might save a bit of time. I also have a heap of maps I can post which might help. Just one question - what time will it start and finish on? If each year is two turns and can't be modded then it would take ages to finish a campaign set on the exact dates on MTW (almost 1000 turns!!!)

This is one mod I'd love to see. I would love to help with anything at all (except maybe research) I have done next to no mod work to Rome so far. I can possibly become a skinner, but my computer doesn't even have photoshop. If you can pm me we might be able to work something out. If it turns out I have no modding skills whatsoever, I'll work as a playtester.

I'm very excited about that and I wish you the best of luck, if you allow me to add a suggistion, why not have an earlier starting date, say 800, I know it might be a bit difficult, but believe me it would be worth it, because it will have charlemagne's mighty empire, & the byzantine empire at it's best under basil the magnifesent, & the Islamic Caliphate at it's best, with half of europe as pagans.
Thank you and I wish you the best of luck VH.

It was one of the periods on my list, but I have chosen the medieval period for my next project

Hi everyone! Nice work on those knights ! Ive done some medieval units and posted the screens on http://www.twcenter.net/forums/index...howtopic=13162 and http://www.stratcommandcenter.com/fo...showtopic=2089 maybe they
will be useful for MTW mod

[Leet Eriksson]

Almoravids (corduba caliphate)
Baghdad Caliphate (Turkish dominated)
Almohads (in Morocco)

I'd like to comment on all three if you wouldn't mind, the Almoravids took over the corduba caliphate, they were based in Marrakesh, their domain was around morroco and algeria aswell as half of spain. Later on the Almohads usurped them through a religious revolt and extended their domain as far as egypt and moved their capital to Seville.

The Baghdad Caliphate was known as the Abassid Caliphate.

I would be glad to provide information on these factions, and armour/weapon discriptions (i assume the units will be from MTW, so the names are set i beleive?).

Good work on those units. I could use some of them, the rest would be good for the Citadel: Total War mod because of the high amount of armour.

Ive posted archive on twcenter forum

@faisal
Thanks for the info. I don't know much about muslim factions so any info on them is good.

Pleased to help

I'll try my best answering any further questions so keep em coming, i don't know all Muslim factions like turkish factions for example, i'm not that knowledgable on them, hopefully one of the resident turkish forummers might know about it, but i know north african and arab factions.

Turkish units could be cool

@All
We still need more skinners for this mod, so if anyone whats to join this "crusade" then PM me

[Solo]

Same as Mouzafphaerre if any modlet content (we have covered almost all medieval naming patterns) can help you, well you still have my email VH so dont hesitate. Also if you need some gfx artwork (interface and heraldry of course still my job irl) like i did for your xl mod but i wont have enough time for skins.

We could properly use some help on gfx artwork. I'll mail you when I know what work has to be done.

Hi guys,

I was wondering how you were going to do the crusades/jihad type units and the titles/offices? One thing that the TW series lacks is movement attrition or simulated desertion and the one feature that has that were MTW's Crusade/Jihad type 'units'. Is it possible to activate these old techs in Rome TW?

Thanks,
Clare

Will be done. Not too soon though...

I believe I have enough graphical data at least on certain time periods (mainly MTW-late). More could be acquired.

I believe there's no harm in revealing the secret hideout:

Stay tuned for some good news, about early 2005.

@dclare4
I don't think we can add all the features from MTW, but maybe crusades by using the senate and the roman factions. We are still at the early stage of the mod, so we don't know all the limits yet.

@Mouzafphaerre
Sounds good, the muslim factions will hopefully be better than in the original MTW game with all the info we are getting
