Brother Derfel

Just interested to see what would be the most popular new faction to be made playable in a possible future expansion pack.

(BTW new to the forum so forgive me if this one has already been done)


Thanks

None of the above as most of those factions can be modded to playable already.

I'd like to see the time period regressed to start late in the roman empire, or even a late greek period.

There is good documentation on Modding in the downloads sections of both .org, and .com I would recommend checking there first. Mostly, it's just editing text files.

Note:I have the following already playable.
Burgundians
Hungary
Also Scilians
Aragonese
Well I really have them all, the Only one you can't play is the pope, I left him so he can be annoying.

I am currently changing the swiss over to Vlach.

rpasell
The Game DOES start in the late Roman Empire period.

Roman Empire/Byzantine (which is what latins call it) starts with one of their greatest Emporers.
Alexis I Comenus.
If you want it later, then change the start date.

I vote for all of them, and more. The best notice would be an expansion with all the european, north african and asian countries (all the countries in the MTW map) playable. With an advanced diplomacy system that allows true alliances, etc, etc ,etc, etc. It'd be a perfect MTW http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

lol, I was wondering if anyone would notice where it came from. 10 points and a pat on the back to you sir.

I also chose the Burgundians, and i would like to see more centeral European states playable as well, particulary the German ones.

I have downloaded a Campaign Mod from totalwar.org called Storm over Europe I think. It alows you to play the Burgundians, Swiss and Pope

Worth looking at, my Burgundians now control most of southern Europe and are spreading East against that pagan horde http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/argue.gif

If you play as Italians, you have to get used to crusades shuttling through your territory and using your trade network to land at their destination, being attacked by the pope, being excommunicated by the pope, exterminating the pope and being filthy rich. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I generally don't really like playing Italians due to all of the above, but the most fun campaigns I've played were as Italians.

I really like the Turkish unit roster, but their start position in early is awful and the barrage of crusades gets really annoying.

Well, back to the initial question: I voted other because I would like to play as Templars, or other military order in that matter.

I think that should be added all those lands that during the XI-XVth were recognized kingdoms (but not all available since Early, of course, each one when they emerge). So, i would like to be added Scotland, Wales, Portugal, Lithuania, Navarre, Norway, Sweden, Serbia, Bulgaria and perhaps Naples (apologizes if i forget someone). IMHO, Irish are fun and challenging, but historically their land was very anarchyc, i dont think that should be considered an organizated faction (apologizes again). Crusaded kingdoms perhaps should be considered like independent factions too. Also, i dont like the distinction between major and minor faction, all factions should be playable.

But, maybe, the best solution is: no rebels, all factions.

I think the Huns would be a great civ to add. Lots and Lots of fun. Originating in central Asia, the Huns were a Mongolian tribe who invaded southeastern Europe and managed to build a remarkable empire. Mostly cavalary tribe , but I believe this game falls a little after their prime time.

12-22-2002, 19:03
One thing I would be in favour of is all rebel factions declaring themselves separate factions, if only so you can negotiate or ally with them. Failing that, I would like to see the Scots playable (Being a Scot), and a more complex diplomacy system.

Although probably unknown to people outside of Wales I would vote for the Welsh. In the 13th and early fifteenth centuries they kicked English butts under the leadersip of guys like Llewelyn the Great and Owain Glyndwr. And in the end we did end up with the Welsh on the English throne, how ?, well because Henry Tudor was Welsh and the Tudor surname is still popular in Wales

It would be nice to start the campaign a little earlier (say 700AD) and have an Anglo-Saxon faction with huscarls. The present English faction could be renamed the Norman faction. I would quite like to see a Caliphate faction as well if the map could be altered to include Mesopotamia. Beefing up some of the present factions would be a good idea though. Neither the Polish nor the Danes were as weak historically as they appear in the game (the Polish in particular had a very good army). Some fancy light cavalry and horse archers for the Hungarians would be good too. Oh, and a Bulgarian faction so that we can have a Basil Bulgaroctonus campaign.

kataphraktoi
01-01-2003, 14:20
Normans for sure, stuff the sicilians(as a faction), they would be a nice factor in the equation that is medieval total war. In real life they were a handful for the Pope, the English, the Byzantines, the Germans and the Almohads. I reckon they would be a very very nasty faction to include in an expansion pack, they start with provinces like Normandy(From the English), Sicily and Naples(from the Byzantines)as an enemy they would be interesting to confront, as a faction a strategic starting posiiton in terms of conquest, etc.
Unique Units I would like to see is the Norman Knight.
Robert Guiscard as the starting leader of the faction and glorious achievements like a Crusade to Antioch or something like that.

In response to Lord of The Morning's call for a more complex diplomacy system in RTW, It would be great to actually hammer out treaties when declaring a ceasefire or forging an alliance. You could set the condition that they have to pay yearly for the privilege of being your ally, or agree to keep armies away from each others borders.

I think that the crusader states should definately be independant of the french, but what the game needs most is a Genoese faction. The Italians would become the Venetians. This would stop the Italians from being too powerfull and it would more accurately portray history as well.

Lord Gregoshi,

you probably are not as familiar with European history, especially when it comes to Croatia, as most Americans and a larger part of Europeans are. Now don't get this wrong, I'm not accusing you of being ignorant, it's just that Croats never got larger parts in history books to be noticed around. The fact is that Croats were formidable warriors, and that have contributed a lot in fighting the Ottoman invasion. Furthermore, if you bother to dig out a map of Europe somewhere, you'll see the boomerang shaped Croatia; there is a reason for it to be like that,because these were, more or less, the lines where the medieval Croats stopped the Ottomans in their advance. The cost, yet, has been dearly: half of the population than died in wars and turkish raids of border provinces.

But really I'd like to see the scotts. They wheren't part of England, I do admit it'd be a hard faction to controll. Surrouned by the great power of Englandwith only one or 2 provineces to start with.

voigtkampf, thanks for the short history lesson. You are right about Croatia missing in the US history books. I knew little beyond the partisans of Yugoslavia gave the Germans fits during WW2 (from my own reading, not from school). I didn't know how far back this toughness went. Ignorant is not a bad term in the way you mean it. I probably know a little more than the typical American about history and geography, but I know much less than I should. One of the nice things about hanging out in these forums is that the patrons of various nationalities and ethnic groups are willing to share information about their nation or people for the benefit of others. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

Now, just in case you missed the point of my earlier post, I wasn't dissing the Croats at all.

Well, if we are focusing in analyzing resistence to invasion, and if one centers on what each of us knows from our own History, I've lots of information... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Viriato
We can start by the Lusitanos. They were an Iberian people of Celtic culture living in the mountainous regions of what is now central Portugal. They were separated in various tribes (or clans) that fought each other permanently. After the 2º Punic War, the Romans took control of the Carthaginian part of the Iberian Peninsula (Southwest). Son after that, the Romans decided that all of the region should be under their control. Their armies marched and in less than 10 years all Celtiberian populations were subdued. All except one, Lusitânia. In the words of a famous Roman General: There is a people in the Western edge of Hispania wich does not rule himself, nor does he let himself be ruled The Romans invaded but were repeled. Tried again to invade several times during a period of 10 years, but were unable to grasp control. However in a difficult battle involving large armies on both parts (specially Romans...) the Lusitanos came close to defeat. They were saved from it, by a man who grasped control of their forces, after the death in combat of the Lusitanien lider. This man, with a small group of cavalry, was able, by constant skirmishing with the main Roman forces, to divert their attention of the retiring Lusitanien Army. He soon joined them and armed an ambush to the pursuing Romans. They were ambushed in a valley and defeated. Only a handfull of the 6500 men army reached the Roman ruled lands. During the next 20 years, this man known today by the name of Viriato, through mountain guerrila warfare or open battle defeated Roman army after Roman army. Several Roman Generals were killed. Rome, tired of the resilient resistance decided to change strategy. They bribed 3 of Viriato's men and they assassinated him. After wich, commanded by one of their best generals, they sent a strong army to subjugate the now unorganized Lusitanos. So ended the Lusitanien resistence to Roman domain. But the legacy of the people and of its brilliant strategist remains. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

Now do you understand why Portugal remained the only nation in Iberia not to fall under Spanish rule? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I understood you very well, but I also wondered if you would misinterpret my own post. I just figured to give you this tip, cause it sounded interesting for people to know, as is the previous post from our esteemed borther-in-arms Aymar de Bois Mauri about Lusitanos, the Iberian people http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif The most of members here are quite familiar, I believe, with the ferocity and bravery of the samurai and Japanese people, but hardly of Croats and Lusitanos and other smaller nations that history books have forgotten, more or less

One must always be careful when discussing with others, paying attention that his/her words come to the adressed in a wanted manner I recommend Paul Watzlawick, How Real is the Reality?, great reading on subject http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Well, Lord Gregoshi, it should be obvious that you know more than an average American about common history hence you are a TW commited individual http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif , as do I, I dare say, know more about histoy than an average European.

There could be a Croatian faction in the early period of MTW. Croatia was an independent kingom in the 11th century. I'm unsure of the status of its military when it was under Hungarian protection.

(Of course, there are other factions that could be added, but might have reduced the playability of the game. How many separate states existed in Italy alone at the time?)

I'm not very knowledgeable about my ancestor's history & military history. As far as I know, during the middle ages, they could have fought under the flags of Croatia, Rep. of Dubrovnik, Hungary, and Venetian Republic.

I would welcome additional posts and links about Croatian military history here or in other forums. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/idea.gif

About Americans & Croatia: My Dalmatian ancestors claimed to be a separate nationality, at least when they came over to the United States. Up until recently, Americans referred to Croats, Serbs, etc. as Yugoslavs... Ugh. That name usually conjured up comparisons to the Yugo automobile. And Dalmatians, of course, are spotted dogs in a Disney film... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
