Hi Guys!
Am new to using the mods that all the talented people here have developed, and was wondering if I could start a thread for the 'Non - Mod Making Gifted ' for maybe putting in a few suggestions that Modders might take up.
If there is already a mod or similar for the RTW game I'm going to mention then please feel free to point it out. Please add to the list too. :)
I have spent many hours here reading through threads so I think my suggestions will be pretty safe.
There are some amazing mods here and it's a real treat to visit and read through the posts. I would like to thank all you Modding guys, of any mod, for all your efforts. And the Guild for hosting this site of course. I'm sure they are valued by many on forum and off.
Suggestions
1. A Shogun Mod for RTW. (Vanilla sort, I think you call it). I know there is the game, which I've just managed to track down for 50$ on ebay this week! (I'm in Aus, we pay a lot : ( and just wanted a copy ), but I also know it will be of the old engine type total war series. Without the realism of RTW.
Would love to see a port over of STW to RTW. I think it would be awesome. I know they are very different in nature as stand a lone games, but a detailed Shogun game, of RTW qualtiy would be amazing I think.
I am aware of that particular chinese kingdom mod (forgot name sorry), But I'd love to play a Medieval Japanese Campaign sort of mod.
2. Stone Age sort of Mod. I am aware of the Age of Man mod but I think that's the one where they are attempting to incorporate many eras of human civilisation. Ambitious undertaking and all good luck to them. However, a simple sort of Dawn of Man mod or something would be very cool I think.
3. Knights of the Templar era type mod. I know there is the Chivalry mod, (looks great btw) but how about one that focuses around the Crusades specifically. A small type of mod maybe. With a more localised map.
A 'Mini Mod' if you like.
I am eager to learn how to mod, however from what I've read it's a serious undertaking, and these forums are definitely a starting point and indication of that, but just thought I'd throw around a few suggestions and see what people think. Hopefully someone might be able to make one ~:cheers: or point at the way to go about making one.
I apologise in advance if I have missed any mods that fit the bill. However this forum is very large and sometimes the links you are looking for are in a specific post in a long thread. I read the finished mod forums to see if any there are of what I've described but to no avail. And looking at the mods forum of course.
So, that's my wish list. Maybe a Modder looking for a new project would be kind enough to give one of these a bit of a go.
Feel free to add your own if in my position... 'Modding Ungifted'. Or if a Modder, and have already done it and wish to prove my many hours of searching has been fruitless then please do! lol!
Also, some Mod management tool would be excellent. My hard drive is getting filled up quickly. I am aware of the Mod Switcher but I have a little difficulty using it. Great Idea btw.
Also, a Mod that saves in game battle replays would be excellent.
And, last but not least, and forgive my ignorance on not understanding how textures work, or if someone has done it already , but... A Mod that modifies colours of units and choosing banners would be excellent. That is in game friendly and saves schemes.
Thankyou for your time guys.
I'm off to learn how to mod. (I know one of you will suggest this :P) Slowly, and computer illiterately.(and there is my reason !lol! :help: ) Hope this thread can be productive or contribute in some way.
Have a good one!
