[Swoosh So]

At the moment were using the burgundian faction and giving them scotland and changing the shields, Someone at the .com was doing a step by step guide to making totally new factions but we all know what happened over there

Just be the English. Why settle for second best?

(Note to all scotsmen: the above was a joke and should not be taken to necessarily reflect the true views of Inferno, even though it does indeed reflect the true views of Inferno.)

It's getting warm in here...that must be one hell of an INFERNO!

Why'd you have to go and say that Inferno? http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif
The damn barbarians will be sacking York again, by tomorrow! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Even though i'm not a Scot, i'm more proud of my Scots ancestry, than of my English blood, BUT truth be told, the Scots just weren't important enough during the period to warrant being a faction. Especially given that other, far more influential, nations, like Lithuania, were left out.

Still, good luck with your modding! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

The scotts never sacked york.

Do a search in the mod forums of the official site and our beloved 'org'. Someone tried to make the Scots playable but ran into a few insurmountable obstacles along the way.

If any faction has to made playable it's the Hungarians. It is rather surprising to see the developers to put such a sizeable and centrally located faction exclusively in the hands of the AI. I've tried playing Hungary in the Early1092 mod and while they possess richer home provinces than the Poles (as well as more defensible terrain) they are in a more precarious political position. Hungary's core provinces border the HRE, Poland, Italy and the Byzantine Empire.

Talk about being the geopolitical core of Eastern Europe!

I'd also like to see the Early Era Novgorod's made into a playable faction too.

Well they did, if you count burning the suburbs!
In the 1340's an army lead by David Bruce (son of Robert, of Bannockburn fame), got as far south as York, & did just that!

I *thought* there were earlier occasions as well, but a quick search hasn't turned them up, & I need to be somewhere soon, so I don't have time to look into it further, right now. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

The one faction I would like to see playable is the Swiss. I like the idea of being an underdog but having the most defendable province in the game and superb infantry.

I used to like Scotland, but since I frequent this board I've come to the conclusion yer all a bunch of girlie whiners ;-)

ask the mods forum to see if anyone there can help you modify the game to include a Scots faction.
