Midkemia Mod

[lord_kaboomis]

Hi there ppl, I'm working on a mod based on the books and games by Raymond Feist, set in the world of Midkemia. I've noticed a few ppl here and there making references to related things in these boards, so I'm hoping at least a few ppl would be able to help me out with some suggestions I might have overlooked.

I've basically gotten the map set up how I like, renaming all the provinces, and now I'm ready to start on editing units, fations, .ect

So, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate them, you can post them here, and I'll try to incorporate them if they dont involve undoing alot of work I've already done. You can also reach me on msn:

or on AIM:

Thanks and hope to hear from some of you soon http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Welcome Lord Kaboomis, If you do not already have it on the Org's download page is a very handy tool for editing the unit 11, build 13, and projectile stats files. It is calledGnome_Unitbuildproj_editorv2.0, and it lays the files out and a very simple to edit format. Good luck with your mod I will be watching your progress. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Go here to see a thread already dealing with the same idea. At the very least, you can see my ideas on the matter. ( Maybe you can work with Shand994)

Thanks Lord of Storms, I already got gnome's editor, plus a little e-mail help from him.

Unfortunatly, I can't post in the dungeon, could someone please point Shand994 my way so I can swap ideas with him?
thx

I will point Lord Shand your way. Shand 994 has recently been made a member of The Lords Modding Collective. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Lord Kaboomis.

Sounds like a great idea. This was a mod I had planned on doing after a few of the others i ahd done. I would love to help you out with this. SOunds like you got the map done. If we can get LMM working we may even be able to get a proper midkemia map going, but dont hold youre breath on that. I can help out with units. If you can get into the dungeon check out my fictional units mod. Its a work in progress. there is already forty units done for the Drenai Series. Email me simon@rma.com.au and we cn throw a few ideas around, and get working on it asap.

Welcome aboard kaboomis. I see all the appropriate parties have hooked up and are scheming already. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif

what would be good if youre going to make the spain kelewan, edit the SetBorder Info for
those provinces so that they cant go straight from the homeland provinces of spain to other
parts of the map. eg for all the provinces on the spanish peninsula that are next to one of the
other european provinces change the stats so that they are not neighbours. and give these
provinces only one neighbour on the map.

eg aragon - has aquitane as a neighbour(meaning armies can go from aragon to aquitane). if
you change the Setborder info so that aquitane is not a border armies will not be able to travel
from aragan direct to aquitane.

then what uyou do is wherever you want the tsurani to appear when they attack the kingdom
set that provinces border info so that aragon and that province are neighbours.

i think this would be a good way to simulate the RIFT. Eg make it so that tsurani armies can
only travel from one of their home provinces to one of the Midkemian Provinces. this can also
be done for sea zones. So you can make one half of them only accessible to the trurani from
their homelands. but there ships cant travel to midkemian sea zones and vice versa. I can lend
a hand with this if you need help doing it.


does this make sense??

Well met,

I'd love to help with this project, but I dont know anything about modding :( I have been playing about with TiME for a little while and managed to knock together a map of Midkemia (It still needs a lot of work as the TiME is incomplete).

Point me at some tutorials and some free software and I'd gladly do what I can to get this project going.
