Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
hope you don't mind just edited this thread and wanted to bump it,

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
Nice screens, but could we get a bit more info? Is it for RTW or BI, which factions are there, is it complete or work in progress... the like.

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
sorry i thought it was obvious its for bi, and the links to the legend of gog magog should give you an idea of the back story,
but i'll summerise,
It is said that in preperation for the birth of the anti-christ an army nation will arise in the east called the nation of magog, the dregs of man will be drawn to it and form an army as has never been seen on earth,
this legend has grounding in all religions and is mentioned in the bible and
the quran, set in the dark ages as there is little known of that time in history i am working on a conciet that those events have already happend,
and been struck from records by the church in order to hide the truth
about the anti-christ:inquisitive:
the faction list so far is...
(working names only)
the kingdom of briton,
the confederation of france,
german,gomer,the cimmerians
the kingdom of spain
the papal seal(protectors of rome)
illuminate(satanae rebels)
the order of togarmah(satanae rebels)
satanae
others may be added depending on if i have to do it all myself
my intension is that at the start if you play as a christian kingdom you
will have trouble with the rebel factions (who will be able to horde)
making it hard to blitz the campaign,while the satanae gather strength
in the east,
and if you play as the satanae you have problems with the ..............:listen:

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
is there a book about this war or are you just imagining what the soldiers
looked like?
& for the evil side then will u make the evil general anti-christ?
-
Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)

but religious ones are better:2thumbsup:

Exael legions:these are the out cast of the world the lowest of men the excomunicated,they
have flocked to the nation of magog to join the satanae cause and are met with open arms by thier dark masters,on joining the ranks of evil they have thier eyes burned out so they may never again see the wonders of god.this makes them fearless in battle,they are the basic foot soldiers of satanae generals.
Exael: A minor devil, he was of the order of angels when he fell and is that much closer to humanity. therefore he finds it realatively easy to dwell with mortals.

the order of baal:men at arms,
during the war of magog many men will lose thier faith in god and be converted to the dark side,
these are such men,far from being weak due to thier former beliefs they are hardend of heart and all the more fearce because of thier fall,they are the backbone of all the satanae armies.
Baal:the second chief of staff of the abyss 'baal is the patron devil of idle men. he commands sixty or seventy legion's of demons and resides in the easton region of hell.
https://img529.imageshack.us/img529/...regular0rt.jpg
Verrier: spearmen the second basic unit of the satanae armies they are born as satanae but must learn obidience to thier dark masters, so are forced to fight on the frontier boarders to prove thier skill in combat,
Verrier: He tempts men to disobey orders by making thier necks to stiff to bow to the yolk of obedience.(he is most likely a moderator at the twc) :)
enjoy :2thumbsup:

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
My goodness, remind to never sign up for the Exael legions... And the helmets for those men-at-arms of the order of baal look a lot like German helmets from WWII... curious... :creep:

Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.
o you sound like just the type thier looking for:inquisitive:
ww2 yeh i was going for the medieval type helmet(don't know what thier called) and reached this point and thought looks good and stopped,
thanks alot guys:2thumbsup:

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
Sallets?
The helmets the Gothic Knights wear in MTW. Or, an even better picture is in the Chivalry mod threat here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...t=56706&page=2.
I think that´s the style you´re going for. And yes, those helmets, with their neck protection going halfway around look pretty much like the "Fritz"-helmet.

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
looks pretty trippy...
anyway, so is this idea of "armageddon" only based on the Chrisitan, Jewish and Islamic prophecy's?
-
Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
and satanic docturine, the "myth" of magog does appear in the bible,torah and quran so i thought it has as much truth to it as many historical mods and alot more than some,the two links at the top of the thread give a good over view. there may be other angle's to it but i'm a one man team so i'm going to keep it as simple as possible,

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
Satanae Juda,
I appreciate your original work my man.
Can I give some input, as I've researched the bible and biblical archaeology?
Perhaps the 2 main faction names/groups/whatever should be called:
Annointed and Abbydon, instead of Tubal and Meschech.
It would be truer to the "end times" theme. :2thumbsup:
Regarding:
So crucify the ego, before it's far too late
And leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical...
It looks like you are holding onto a poignant topic: Ego death
BTW, every religion, including esoteric, alchemical, freemasonic speaks of an ego death. Tibetan Buddhist Dzogchen speaks of "naked awareness" as a way to do just that.
Thank you kindly sir, Hellas1 ~:cool:
-
Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
thanks for the input all knowlage is power,
tubal and meschech are the two brothers who are said to instigate the legend of magog, i'm not sure about the annointed as a faction but that could make a cool unit name, as for abbadon,hehe someone asked me about the use of him before. originaly back when rtw was a gleem in the eyes of many a blood thirsty gamer, it was my intension to work on a historical mod
set in sumeria and incorperate the origins of satanism,but a small accident with my hand(i fell)
ment that any art work i did was limited, so i began to do alot of research, by the time my hand was better(it's still not right) bi was on the horizen and i couldn't miss the chance to mess with the religion so i started this. any more suggestions you have i'll be happy to listen my bible knowlage isn't great, my occult knowlage on the other hand,well i belive the correct term is moohaha
from The three books of occult philosophy:henry cornelius aggripa:
first published :1531
abaddon:hebrew abdon(destruction)see job28:22.it was used as the name for a region of gehenna in later rabbinical writings,aftersuch usages as occur in proverbs 15:11 and 27:20.In the new testament it is the name of the angel of the abyss,and occurs only in the book if revelation 9:11.
The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lion's teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.
-- Revelations 9: 7-11
milton uses the name abbadon to describe the pit of hell in the poem
Paradise lost,
and from the book i used for my description,The devil genevieve morgan
tom morgan,
Abbadon:the angel of the bottemless pit,also known as "the destroyer"
abbadon inspiers anarchy and chaos. The fallen angel of death and destrution,
in hell he is the chief of the demon locust who have the faces of humans,tails of scorpions,and bodies of winged horses.Abbadon is often associated with satan or sammael,and is often depicted with or confused with fellow angel of destrction,Apollyon,who holds the keys to the abyss.

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
Hi S.J.,
Regarding the Nephilim, "Nephal" in Hebrew means mighty.
In Genesis, it talks about them existing before and after the flood of Noah!
If you research the bible, you'll find that the Nephilim, "im" suffix means many of in hebrew, that they were actually Giants!!! Not men.
Actually a union between demons and women.
A number of the early church fathers said they were offspring off demons and women. I don't think that the women said "yes, why not!" nor does the biblical text say anything about them denying the union, it's kind of moot on it.
BUT...were talking demons not angels like cherubim, seraphim, watchers, or the four faced angels of the book of Ezekiel either, so I sense deception was involved.
If you research it, there were 7 tribes of Giants, Nephilim, Zamim, Zamzumim, Anakim, Emim, and others. Joshua in the book of Joshua was told to "utterly destroy them."
In the book of either I or II Samuel, Goliath who fought David was approx. 13 ft. tall, in text it's measured by cubits, and he was one of those forementioned giants.
Now, insofar as occult literature is concerned, the "occult" I believe in is NOT devil worship, nor "new age," nor divination nor full blown magic. Occult means hidden or secret. Open only to the worthy ones. Meaning if you work along certain lines, you're eligible!
It consists of esoteric schooling meaning the refining of one's character, morals, ethics, and mind cognizantly towards a benevolent/good outcome and "holiness" or "purity" if you will, called the "white" path or right handed path.
So, this is more input for you.
BTW, ever hear of Rudolph Steiner, Mdme. Blavatsky, Charles Leadbeater, Alice Bailey, Paracelsus?
They promoted Theosophy, Steiner then expressed Anthroposophy which includes an "occult" history of the Christ. Om Tat Sat

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
ok my research on the nephilim comes from the book fallen angels and the origins of evil,which i first read some fifteen years ago so finding the parts on the origins of the nephilim is time consuming, but i did read that once, honest,
ah ok i've found one of the part's it does say rebel angels so that's close,
as for the occult yes i no it's not devil worship but i'm making the same connection that crowley and lovecraft made (i know it's lazy but i got a hole heap of mod work to do) in that connecting magick to the sumerian worship of the ancient gods is the path which offers the least resistance, to my mod, flamers can't argue with a lost society and lost culture,
if i had more time/help i would love to inclued the different tribes,
ah found another section it says the giants were the offspring of the nephilim. and the daughters of men,
i'm not familier with the names above although mdme blavasky, rings a bell is she part of the church of satan? i used to know a few satanists through music, ever heard of nurse with wound or current 99,

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
Hi S.J.,
No I haven't are they bands?
BTW, How will converting one faction to the other (religion wise) figure in your mod?
I suggest you implement evangelists for the "good" side, and cultists for the "bad" side in place of diplomats (aka RTW).
Btw, Mdme. Blavatsky along with 2 other people started the Theosophical society in the late 20th century.
Nice pic of the temptation of saint anthony too!
Secret orders should be available upon reaching a certain level in the game man. Ex. Freemasons, Golden Dawn, Rosicrucians, etc.
Make for more interesting game play, IMO.
Peace, Tat Tvam Asi

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
yes they were bands, in my younger days i worked in a small print shop in soho(london) and they used to get all there art work done there, they were preety nice guys considering thier intersest in the occult,it was through them that i first got into the dark side,often reading the books they left as reference, i love the idea of replacing diplomats, .
a little something i knocked up because i did'nt have time to do any real work.

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
Cool S.J.,
I thought that replacing the dip's would be interesting.
Thanks for the info.
Let me know what I can do for you.
Hellas1
-
Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
indeed the dip's have to play a part along with act's of god and christian generals becoming possessed(i know thats a bit hollywood but hope it will add to the games playabilty) or satanae generals having a vision of god and converting, my first thought is always going to be how the mod draws you into the story or it's just a mod
if you have any modding skills let me know i'm still in the unit revamp stage but will need help at some point.:2thumbsup:
-
Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
Listen man,
Thanks for the news.
I don't have modding or skinning skills, but I do have historical understanding both Biblical and non-Biblical.
I'm available.
Give a hollar, dude.

now i'm a fairly smart guy but my typing and spelling skills are for ****
so that's a task im dreading. hand on my cold black heart five months ago i'd
never even heard of modding,but by banging my head off the wall for a few months and picking every tutorial here and at the twc apart ,i've mannaged to get this far(although i do work in animation so i did have some skills before i started).so no skills thats piffle my freind, i think you'll suprise yourself at what you can achive if you just take the first step.(or am i thinking of alchoholics)

Re: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
do, honestly there is a serious down trend in new people taking up modding at the momment,maybe its just seasonal,with the summer around the corner
i guess modding takes a back seat, and alot of people are gearing up for M2.

The priests of Dumah: the black priesthood are a seceret society within the satanae ranks, often sent out during battle to assassinate enemy generals, their attacks are ferocious and unrepentant, armed with the same heavy meat axe they use in ceremonial human sacrifice, they are amongst the most deadly of satanae forces.
Dumah; The guardian of Eygpt during the Hebrew exodus, Dumah was the angel of the "silence of death". He is one of the seven princes of Hell.

AW: end of days (the revenge of satanae)
Hi S.J.,
wasn`t all of Medieval Europe scared of Gog & Magog, personalized by the Mongols? Maybe some "Devil`s Horsemen" would spice up the whole thing too.
BTW nice units & the story is pretty cool. Keep on armaged:2thumbsup: ing!!!!!
