you can make land connection simply modifing the campmap/starpos campaign files, the section you have to modify is the "setneighbours section"
for example:
SetNeighbours:: ID_NORTH_UMBRIA ID_MERCIA ID_SCOTLAND ID_NORTH_SEA ID_IRISH_SEA

northumbria is your country, the others are the neighbours.

In the same file you can make income and resource changes.

If you want make modifies about units and tech tree, you have to change the Crusader_unit_prod and Crusader_build_prod files.

Thanx

I will start testing these... But still is there sites that could give me some tools (if there are any) or just good pictures about units, flags ,icons...resource icons. I was thinking to make new resources and tradeable goods.

any ideas...?? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/idea.gif

I have found a lot info from here and i will try my best using it. But even if I would know how to build house from scraps. I just would not succeed to build one whit out materials. Building unit and factions cant be done whitout good materials or tools. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-smile.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-toff.gif

Greetings Serpent, Well to make a mod with the changes you listed will take some time for you to research .
But we have evrything you need here.
Look in the Modding tools topic pinned here for Gnome editor
a good basic tool for editing the unit and build prod files.
And LukMapmaker or LMM which is a tool used for the editing or making of new campmaps in MTW, the link is not there yet, but you can get the program from our downloads page beta section.
Also theres a pinned topic which is a guide to adding a new faction, that is very detailed and should help you out.
you can do topic searches for specific things, and you should find the info here.
I will be happy to help you in anyway I can.
you will find the people here most helpful and knowledegable as well.good luck...LOS
