a mod for Rome Total War- Barbarian Invasion
link to modrealms forum (thanks Amroth) : http://www.modrealms.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=26
In the faraway land of Argaisa (Ar-gay-sa), war is brewing. For long ages beyond memory, the men of the Haldiac Empire and the Agrovani of the Sacred Forest have been at peace. Those who might intend them ill are on the other side of the great Juhgyi Desert. But now, war is in the air. Word has reached the inhabitants of these lands that the eternally fighting nations of the east have been united by a mysterious, dark figure. His name is unknown, but the legends of his dark power cast fear into all who hear. This fear has been increased by the recent deaths, attributed to natural causes, of many of the leaders of the Haldiac Empire and the Agrovan. Many beleive these deaths were caused my a band of assassins in leauge with the Dark Power of the East. Several defeats were inflicted on the Haldiac Empire my desert nomads, all bearing a mark never seen before.
But, just when hope seemed lost, a force believed to be only a legend appeared from the mists of time. The Guardian Order, long rumored to have fallen long ago, has returned to fulfill its purpose of defending the west against the powers of the Dark Isle. The beleaguered Agrovani and Haldiac Empire quickly gave their support to the Order. Now the west is at least somewhat better prepared to face the forces of the east. But the Guardians, while great fighters, are few and number and will need to be supported by the powers they protect if they are to succeed
The stage is set for the great fight over the land of Argaisa. This fight can only be a war of total destruction of one side, the Light or the Dark. This is Argaisa - Total War.
I'm starting small in this mod (I learned that lesson working as a Beta-Tester for Forth Age - Total War) so, for now, there are only two factions:
The Guardian Order

Formed at the beginning of the world, millennium ago, the mysterious men of The Guardian Order are dedicated to protecting the forces of the west against the evil of which only they have knowledge. Only they know of the inhabitant of the Dark Isle and what he will bring. The Order Faces several challenges, while their army is strong, it is few in number. To face the numberless hordes of the east, they will need to draw auxiliaries from the Agrovani and the Haldiac Empire. These men, while more numerous then the men of the Order, are not as well armed and armored.
The Minions of Surt

Many eons ago, a renegade named Surt fled from the Guardian Order to the far east of the world. He accumulated much power and prestige for himself in the constant wars that plagued the region. But he eventually realized that he could not take his revenge on the Guardian Order without uniting the factions of the east. And the only way to do that was with fear. So he went on a long quest to find that which was his birthright. A sword: Excelcion. A relic of the past far older than Surt and even older than the Guardian Order. The power it possessed made him more than a man, something far more sinister. With the power he now possessed. Surt united the tribes of the east and is now preparing to take his revenge on the supposedly fractured west, unaware that they have been united by The Guardian Order who know of his plans and his existence.
