Camelot
Well, what can i say, you just have to see it to believe it. Single player custom early period but you can play this
with the original early high and late eras version 1 and 1.1 If you are into wizzards then you can play as merlin
if you are more of a knight in shining armor then Uther Pendragon in camelot may be your cup of tea. Just thank God that there is no pope... Merlin will support you as long as you go on his Quests.. But don't piss him off or he'll send his dragon after ya..Just for kicks try leaving princess jezebel as a single girl but marry off that babe gwen she is a hotie.. I never liked jezebel anyways.. Excalibur can be yours for the taking as long as you manage your kingdom in a wise and watchful way young king...This Mod is not perfect yet but we are getting there.. All i can tell you is I have an old Pc and it did not crash... Wow

Please download the other files for camelot as well. Think you'l like the pope replacements.. The Epic.bif file that i made is huge so i will extrac bmp's from it and make them available to you so you can then use bifreader to import the replacement frames.. Like to thank Lord Krazy, LBA and Declar4 for their help... Please post sugestions for improvements..

It looks great dude, though more factions that are about King Arthur would have made it even better.

Thank you, I will be uploading updates as i play the game and find other ideas. You are welcomed to colaborate and add things to it as you see fit. That is why i created it to get everyone involved. LBA got me the cool battle flags and I desiged the shields for camelot. I also added the Golden horde faction to the one i play at home to make it even more interesting. It is important to import the bmps' pictures to the epic.bif file for effect. I just love dragons. Merlin replaces all your popes so get rid of those ugly pope portraits in your pope file and put merlin in there he looks awsome... Keep me posted friend....

Unfortunately I could not upload the custom campaign (strategic map) to you because it is huge. But basicaly I changed wessex to camelot, Ireland to avalon and scotland to lothian. Also put a dragon on the north atlantic ocean,
Merlins' cave is in the area above wessex. Modified the pappal states and filled it with nice trees, modified rome the seat of merlins realm. The map came out realy good but its too large to get to you. You can change the map to anything you like with a graphic program like irfanview.
You can change names, land features and even add pictures to it. I made suttle changes so as not to get the game to crash. Use your imagination, the sky is the limit as far as the map is conserned. TGA format nice to work with..

KD_Camelot_Mordred_Faction Mod has just been added.
Get it here:

Empress Morgan Lafey and Her Bastard Son are driven by a desire to overthrow the kingdoms of Camelot and Merlin.

Yes she is the first female ruler in fact an Empress driven by her lust for power and ambition in the MTW World..

Thanks to NagatsukaShumi for giving me this idea...

ATTENTION:

If you downloaded the Mordred Faction adission to the camelot mod and havent installed it yet dont. It will mess up the regions of the campaign map because of one of the files in the LOC\English\Names changes and events. I suspect its the changes file so I will try to fix it. Other wise The Camelot mod without the Mordred faction works fine.

The problem with it is that when you click on constantinople you get greece.. So I think its a typo in the changes file nothing serios. I will update this asap.
Thanks.

By the way Your Highness,

You should set up a website for your mod with some history of the legend and stuff http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif BTW which one is the latest working version?

Best wishes always,

By the way Your Highness,

Why don't you try working on the map area of the startpos files for both our mods. My mod and your mod are both set in Britain with excursions to Ireland and France. I've already got a listing of 'conversions' and place names and I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to replace them with 'Arthurian' names - I used to even have Glastonbury... perhaps its still there, I dunno. It basically involves tweaking the connections between regions (the neighbors section, you know, how the various regions link together) since the map has several 'zoom' areas for Yorkshire and Southern England (w/c if I'm not mistaken were also hotspots for your era) plus the Scottish border and eastern Ireland and the Isles of Wight, Man and Ely.

In case you're interested...

Best wishes,
Gloucester

Camelot Patch is available. Fixed issue in names file were regions names were mixed up. The Mod should work fine with this file. Its just the Names file in the Loc\Eng\Names.

The Patch is available here:
http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/Mtw_Uploads/MTWupload/


Don't let the link confuse you, just click on the file name in the uploads folder and it will download. Thank you

Declare4,

There is a site that does just that now, actualy thousands, but here is the link that I liked the most for all the information and the Ideas.

http://www.britannia.com/history/h12.html

This is a great source of information conserning the real man and the legend. Arthur was Born around 465 AD A bad time for Britain, The Saxons Defeated them in 465. The Visigoths were also giving the brits and the Romans a hard time douring this period. Hey there is an idea for a new faction.. Check out the site there is allot of stuff in there.

You would have to tweak both the Starpos Era files and the Names file. The names file in the loc\eng\names folder does allot of stuff with the names in the map as i just found out but i dont know how to tweek it. Did you try the mod ?

Morgan LeFays' intruduction to the Medieval World has not been an easy one. Naples was overthrown by bandits and brigands. The Empress has decided that the only way to resolve her issues of Rulership are to deal a deathblow of sheer bruteforce against greece. It is sayd that The Sorceress from avelon is a decendant of Alexander the great. Her Bastard Son Mordred Gathers armies at an alarming speed. These Death knights will help The Empress Vanquish all hope of overthrowing her growing kingdom.

Maiden 102 bizzantine faction King folder
General 104 Camelot faction General folder looks like perceval
General 101 Camelot Faction General folder
General 4 Mordred Faction Prince folder. Notice that the mordred faction is the only orthodox faction in the game.
And that should do it.
