ZHAN GUO Mod, Warring States in China

[pezhetairoi]

Hey, if you need help with 'breaking out' of the niche language limitation by providing alternative versions in English, I'll gladly do the translation; I'm effective bilingual in both languages.

But... can you use jian ti instead of fan ti Chinese (sorry, I don't have my Chinese software with me now)? It's kinda hard to read the traditional form of Chinese cos some future Zhanguo players will have been schooled in the simplified version...

But apart from that, it looks really cool, and I'm quite happy to see that at last there's a mod that will be able to factor the present Senate's function in and make it fit into the historical context.

Oh, on a lighter note, the sight of hastati fighting on Chinese city walls amused me no end :-)

A question: The Warring States armies were massive, often in hundreds of thousands. Given this what's unit size going to be like? Wil you still preserve the 240-maximum size, or will you go on to even greater numbers?

Nice; I'm looking forward to this mod more and more. Good character portraits too.

[waitcu]

i forget to explain of those new photo
It's a mountain pass, with a fort stuck in the pass. That way, to get through to the city you can't simply walk around the fort, rather you have to attack it.

Thank you for the explaination waitcu, thing are looking really good here; keep up the good work guys.

[wlesmana]

Good god. Total conversion indeed. Can hardly wait to play this.

[RollingWave]

Heh why you using the names of those cities during 3 kingdom period though? not to meantion the general pics and faction names etc........

[waitcu]

because this mod is three kingdom mod , we are also developing this mod too

[poirot]

Two mods at once? A three kingdoms mod and a zhan guo mod?

I believe that a zhan guo mod is more practical and fits the themes of total war better. Three Kingdoms games should focus on personnel management and individual heroes. The concept of total war lies in mass armies and collective conquest under command of generals - therefore zhan guo fits better.

[vale]

the name of this mod in chinese is zhan gou but if you translated it back to english it will be three kingdom :)

[wlesmana]

uh... zhang guo actually means "middle kingdom" which is what chinese people call China. So Zhang Guo Total War = China Total War.

I'm a bit confused now. Is the mod based on the rise of the han dynasty (Liu Bang's exploits) or the Three Kingdoms era. Or both? Or is it the rise of the Chin dynasty, the first unified china?

[sephodwyrm]

Zhan Guo = Warring Kingdoms (States)
Zhong Guo = Middle Kingdom
Zhong Yuan = Central Plains

I hope this clears up your confusion.
We'll be using Hanyu Pinyin romanisation in the translations. Wade Giles romanisation is insufficient for our needs. Btw, it is also the system used by PRC and Singapore. It is poised to replace the clumsy Wade Giles system.

Game takes place 480-190 BC (speculative). In any case, it covers the end of the Spring and Autumn era to the Warring States to unification under Qin dynasty, the Chu-Han wars and the consolidation of the Han dynasty at the capital of Chang An under Emperor Hui of Han (after Liu Bang).

[Geoffrey S]

Keep up the good work!

[waitcu]

wow it been like 5 months right?

yes , because many reasons , the works delay . but i promise we will complete the Zhanguo mod .

[Stormy]

Great structures & units waitcu. I'm very impressed. I love the buildings.

[Elephant]

WOW!

Mountain passes, great textures, and ancient Chinese technologies, what more can I ask for? Oh wait, I know: please release soon to satisfy my urges.

But one question, according to speculations, the Great Wall was only meant to discourage barbarians from coming through by making it harder to leave with their loot. So, will you guys make those wall sections attackable and/or passable?

[waitcu]

great wall will add in game , that's the history . so i need to do it:)

[al'Callaendor]

WOW!!!! very good! Great job
