oh, i forgot to mention india (as in asian india). they could be a semi-civilised factions, as their culture could be combined with those of the himalayan peoples, and those of afganisthan, etc...

oh, another thought just came to my head, there could be one more faction, who could've just arrived on this continent, with smaller unit numbers but a slightly higher tecnologically. I'm thining such units as repeating crossbowman. They could have a culture mainly different from any ever seen on earth, though with extremely small similarities to the romans (well disciplined army, well trained, etc), chinese/japanese (well disciplined, well trained), aztecs (blood sacrifice?) and vikings (berserker unit?). Some of their units could be similar to those of the romans, etc, but different, either equipment wise or technology wise.
cheers, dark_shadow89
what if you had a map of a world like ours, except that it is far in the future so that NA and russia have collided and made a single supercontinent?
My idea was that we escaped an apocolyps and lost all technology... ~D
Here are my ideas for factions *Not alien ones*
Nationality ideas
Russians
Americans
Romans
Chinese
Japanese
English
French
Germans
Indians
Aztec
Zulu
Egypt
Assryia
Greec
Mongolia
Celts
Maya
Turks
could u go into a bit more detail pleaseQuote:

with some historical base. we could also simply rename the various factions. The
aztecs, or american indians would, therefore have contact with other
civilisations. also, we could have some mythical units and factions (think
atlantis?) maybe the mod could be based around atlantis, a growing power
based from an island which broke off during the splitting of pangea? call it
Atlantis: Total War
cheers, dark_shadow89
i like the idea and you could really go far with the atlantis idea
I like the idea. Atlantis could be like the Roman senate...
Ohhh, or better yet, the fall of Atlantis... Atlantis is on the decline... and the world is up for grabs... ~D
yeah atlantis...
I think that IS realistic. It doesn't take a few years to walk from Portugal to Germany, even considered there were a lot of swamps. With the roads that excist today, it takes maybe two months to do the walk, so one year (or 6 months even) in old times could be realistic.Quote:

survives (greek/asiatic culture), macedon rules all of greece (no greek
faction), the huns (mongol-ish faction) have a foothold in eastern europe,
the germans and woads rule germany and briton respectively, the franks have
superseded the gauls, vikings develop early and are moving south, the
nubians(zulu, central african culture) have superseded the numidians (these
become a minor, rebel faction), and the japanese/chinese have expanded
west, a large fleet having landed south of egypt/arabia. Also, maybe india (in
asia) expands west, controls what were parthian lands?
And because this is myhtical, we could have some mythical units, such as
myrmidons, etc..
cheers, dark_shadow89
Ok that sounds good. ~:cool:
ok, so lets hear some suggestions for units, etc...

thats all i got for now, if anyone could please research some more units, it'd be appreciated.
cheers, dark_shadow89
ok, so should we ask scc or something for our own mod forum?
Guys, if you produce something to show that your mod is going to work and not die out (like some units and a map in progress) you can apply for a subforum here. Its not hard to get, it would be a pity for a mod to start here and then dissapear...
Ok, things I have gotten done.
3 new units... *old skins*
Atlantian guard- Base skin= Greek Hoplight) Hoplights
Atlantian archers- Base skin= Archer Auxila
Atlantian Hvy Infantry- Base skin= Sacred Band Infantry)Sorwds men
However, I could use a better program for scripting... mine isnt varry good...

However, human beings have now evolved from Neanderthals and are colonising what is now the middle eastern part of the world.
Perhaps you could have even more fantasy by having ancient factions too like the atlanteans etc.
Will post more but damn Zharakov I think you hit on something buddy ~:cheers:
Why the Netherlands?
And we allreaddy have a mod like this.
go here: http://s10.invisionfree.com/Aetas_Total_War/index.php?
Sorry, you misunderstood me Zharakov. Neanderthals are what human beings evolved from. I dont know if you are familiar with Darwins theory of evolution but they come before us. They can be the rebels that are in R:TW.Quote:

Why? Its not dead... :confused:
Because I'm on other projects now
Others can take it up... Just because DJs stopped work on SJ doesn't mean its dead... Its not dead until nobody's working on it, and then it will slip to the abys of page 2. :wink:
dark_shadow89 - I have also posted with this idea - see my signature -, including the idea for eras etc. Also, my faction list bears a striking resemblance to yours... I'm not sure who copied who here - or whether either one of us had ever seen the other's thread ~:) . Maybe we could join up, or not, but I fear that you may have posted before me anyway ~:confused: ...
If you wish for me to remove any plagearised elements I am happy to do so - but maybe the mods will be different enough by the end anyway ~:) .
Thats the point, nobody's working on it. It never got off the ground...
@lonelysoldier: I dunno...check the date of the first post for this topic if you want..it doesn't trouble me because I'm with the Troy and Aetas mods now!
http://s10.invisionfree.com/Aetas_To...tas_Total_War/
(check my siggie)
Thanks dark_shadow89! I thank you for your generosity and I wish you the best of luck for Troy Total War and your other projects! I think that the Aetas and AoM mods are sufficiently dissimilar to co-exist, the former being fantasy and the latter realistic.
