I realise that Medieval Total war has lost SOME of its fanbase to Rome, I also realise that if MIITW is even half as good as original even more players will be lost (including myself, should it make the cut). I further realise that the viking campaign has a somewhat Brito-centric fanbase (well, us, the Norse and pompous Americans who believe they are descended from the Earl of such and such)
Still, I finally worked out how to add factions to the game, so for my own pleasure only I began work yesterday on "Seven Kingdoms total war"- this basically consists of a lot of new factions (the number is up to 17 thus far, and I hope to get it to 21 by tomorrow), thus creating a more tactical challenge- it is not entirely accurate (given the greater divisions that existed amongst some of the Kingdoms/the lack of new shields and units. Still- an overview
21 Factions planned- Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria, Sussex, Essex, East Anglia, Kent, Gwynedd, Cornwall, Powys, Dyfed, Gwent, Del Riada, Picts, Norse, Danes and Leinster (Munster, Connacht, Strathclyde and Mann are to be added soon)
-Possibly some new music as well
Most of the new factions are little more than glorified rebels- the core difference being they aren't going to sit and wait to be conquered-
"What ifs :P" (effort to make you interested)
What if one of the smaller saxon kingdoms manages to draw the other three under its rule? could this newly formed superpower be a danger to the eastern borders of Mercia or Wessex?
Can the Scots hope to expand into their new homeland while retaining their Ulster base? or will it be destroyed in the incessant wars between the Irish kings, thus leaving the scots fighting a war on two fronts?
Will the Welsh be free to live in peace, or will expansionist tendencies amongst its Kings lead to unfication and conflict with not only Mercia, but any Irish king to believes himself powerful enough to attempt an invasion against Great Britain?
Now will Strathclyde cope caught between the Scots, Picts and Northumbrians? each desiring control of the north
The Norse and Danes will both be scraping supplies just to survive- driving the raiders to greater acts of barbarity but will the Kings on the Northern Thrones turn their covetous eyes towards Britain, or towards each other?o
Seven Kingdoms, total war :P
So, yeah, I'll be making this available to anyone who wants it- someone somewhere might, its not really a mod as much as some editing, and its certainly nothing compared to the efforts of people like BKB and Viking Horde, but for those who love a battle, its for you
--Note--
When I load up the campagin at the moment it crashes within seconds of me selecting "Next turn"?
NONE of factions rulers currently have names, just King III e.t.c
Also, the new factions Kings all hjave "highland clansmen/warriors"- forget which, as a retinue?
Anyone able to help me with these problems?
