Welcome to The Wheel of Time - Total War Forums

Hey everyone, what's going on? I've been watching this mod for a few months and i have a few other posts around here. Im not gonna ask when is the demo coming out cuz yes i know its done when its done lol.

I have a quick quesiton tho for anyone on this forum. My favorite books are the wheel of time series, and someone here also recommended the series A Song of Ice and Fire. Im reading those now and i think they're great. however, does anyone know any other great fantasy series that are like The Wheel of Time and/or A Song of Ice and Fire? can you please message me with some suggestions? thank you very much

Belgariad(sp?) is not bad, but a bit childish...

Belgariad i no the ones u mean theyre pretty good. There is some katherine kerr ones cant remember the names somthin to do with dragons or somthin that r pretty good. and all the ones by raymond feist like magician are all quality.

hmmm, ok thanx alot ill def check them out...if anyone knows any more please feel free to leave them, thanx

I think this is not the best thread for this, but the ones I'd recommend would be:

Malazan Book of the Fallen (10 books, 6 out now) by Steven Erikson - better than Jordan, not as good as Martin and trust me, there will never be a Malazan: Total War. The end of the universe would occur before the mods even got as far as completing the roster list. There are a LOT of cultures, armies, countries, characters and plots in this book and the magic is a lot more powerful and unpredictable than in most books.

The Monarchies of God (5 books, all out now) by Paul Kearney - George R.R. Martin in the gunpowder age is a good description

The Book of Words (3 books, all out now) by JV Jones
Sword of Shadows (3 books, 2 out now) by JV Jones
Crown of Stars (7 books, all out now) by Kate Elliott

I haven't read it but The Prince of Nothing (3 books, all out now) by R. Scott Bakker has been repeatedly very heavily recommended to me.

If epic SF counts as well, then there's the Night's Dawn Trilogy (3 books, 1 companion and 1 short story collection, out now) by Peter F. Hamilton.

I would not touch anything by Terry Brooks, David Eddings or Terry 'Vomitfest' Goodkind with a 90-foot-bargepole.

Yes, I forgot about Feist, serpentwar saga is his best one...

Feist's okay, but Serpentwar has a rubbish ending. Shards of a Broken Crown is almost unreadably dull and Rage of a Demon King was divided between some great scenes and some really dull stuff with Pug and Miranda. Feist's best books by far are Magician and Legends of the Riftwar: Honoured Enemy.

Read them both, Magician is fine, but honored enemy is kind of dull, but I like the part where Tinuva and his brother(forgot his name) fight...
We are all kind of off topic, and off subforum...

And I suspect off forum.

lol thanx alot everyone i prob have enough to last me a while, plus i dont want this to get all off topic...thanks again :P

hi just about to finsh rome well i hope lol any news on mod yet cheers sounds intresting

Doesn't sound too hopeful at the moment. Check the 'We're Struggling' link at the bottom of the title page.

What, where is that link?

From the Mod Discussion forum. I hope someone will be able to pick it up again.

Antagonist

Hmm, these forums have been inactive for a looong time, just have to ask the obvious question, hate me for it if you wish....

Did the mod die?

I heard you were having problems, and since then, nothing, makes you wonder, you know?

What, a week is a loooong time? :)

It looks like the mod is on hold until further notice. The two main guys who were doing it didn't have any free time any more. Whether they get back to it in the future...who knows?

A shame as this mod had a LOT of potential. It did highlight a perennial problem of the mod scene, that you need more than a couple of modellers/skinners if you want the project to proceed rapidly. I think this mod only had a couple. Hopefully the guys will come back to it a few months down the line.

Hmm, just a week?

Damn, felt like longer :P

yea,it sad.. I was really looking forward to it..

Link doesnt work...

Well, I am helping myrddral with some coding...

**twitches** good good coding is good. need mod need mod soon. :sweatdrop:

Hey, was perusing the interweb, and i happened to come across this site. I have to say, anyone that is making an honest effort at incorporating WOT into a game, has my undying respect. Its something i would be more than happy to purchase, since so much effort is put into it.

Here's to hoping that this thing winds up in the laps of us drooling fanatics!

Ya man, go for it.

Don't want to say this But is this dead?:no:
And if it is, can you release anything that can be scrapped up for M2TW?

Well, I haven't been able to contact Myrddral for quite some time. Got about four factions, with some units in them (some with many, some with few). I am still waiting for anything from him, but what I have is not really worth releasing (and I wouldn't do it without his agree).

*knock*

Anyone home?


guess not... Sucks. I really want to play this mod...

If anyone on the dev team still comes here, please, consider finishing this.. With some advertising, I think you could even get some cash from the project... I know I'd pay for it...

I really, really want to play something like this..

Please, think of the children! :help:

Dead, I'm sorry to say, been dead for nearly a year now.


And money is ilegal.

This modification is as dead as the author who wrote the books for the series this mod is based on, I'm afraid. :shame:

Yes, as the last official member of the mod I posted the RIP thread a few months ago. But with a small demo of what I had managed to piece together from the scattered remains I could find on here, plus the models Myrddral sent me.

Hi.
I just thought that I'd give a headsup that someone else is making a The Wheel of Time: Total War mod, except they plan to call it "White Tower: Total War"

Apparently they plan to make a series of campaigns spanning the original War of the Shadow, the Trolloc Wars, the Rise of Artur Hawkwing, etc.
They have the game mechanics done...it's just the modelling and actual codig they seem to be stuck on.

I believe they're planning to actually merge models from Shogun: Total War,
Medieval 2: Total War, and the forthcoming Empires: Total War on the Rome-Total War: Barbarian Invasions platform(with the Trollocs or Aiel as hordes and Darkfriends and False Dragons as Rebels).

I tried to saerch for a link, but I couldn't find the forum I originally saw it on-I just remember it had the paperback cover of Crown of Swords in it's skin...

Anyway, good luck! I look forward to playing this mod when it's complete!

Just as an idea...is a garrison script going to be involved in this mod? It would be very appropriate in the Borderlander provinces where every man and woman is expected to fight-so if a Borderlander province is ever besieged, it would make sense for the population within to arm itself, as seen in the Eye of the World.

Once, again good luck!

This mod is D-E-A-D
DEAD

Sorry to everyone who was looking forward to this... I know I was too... did quite a lot of writing for this (unit descriptions, traits, etc, etc). But life happens... I got married, joined the army, spent a year in training and am about to go to Iraq... But, I'll be checking this every so often to see if a person with modeling ability ever shows interest in it again... I'd be more than willing to finish the text-based portions

Hi im new the site and i love the book series, i wasn't sure if this mod was dead and i have been dying to download it but haven't found where i can actually download it, can someone please give me a link if possible? thanks :2thumbsup:

Hello Kylar43, welcome to the .Org ~:wave: .

I am afraid that the Wheel of Time project has been long abandoned. They never got to the stage where they released their work. You can find alternative mods in the RTW mod and hosted mod sections.

Thanks for the quick reply! and it really is to bad that the mod didn't pull threw :(
