the name of this mod in chinese is zhan gou but if you translated it back to english it will be three kingdom :)
uh... zhang guo actually means "middle kingdom" which is what chinese people call China. So Zhang Guo Total War = China Total War.
I'm a bit confused now. Is the mod based on the rise of the han dynasty (Liu Bang's exploits) or the Three Kingdoms era. Or both? Or is it the rise of the Chin dynasty, the first unified china?
Zhan Guo = Warring Kingdoms (States)
Zhong Guo = Middle Kingdom
Zhong Yuan = Central Plains
I hope this clears up your confusion.
We'll be using Hanyu Pinyin romanisation in the translations. Wade Giles romanisation is insufficient for our needs. Btw, it is also the system used by PRC and Singapore. It is poised to replace the clumsy Wade Giles system.
Game takes place 480-190 BC (speculative). In any case, it covers the end of the Spring and Autumn era to the Warring States to unification under Qin dynasty, the Chu-Han wars and the consolidation of the Han dynasty at the capital of Chang An under Emperor Hui of Han (after Liu Bang).
i hope everybody can to our sub-fourm , in there , we post many history , hand draw etc ,we are waiting for you .

Mountain passes, great textures, and ancient Chinese technologies, what more can I ask for? Oh wait, I know: please release soon to satisfy my urges. ~;)
But one question, according to speculations, the Great Wall was only meant to discourage barbarians from coming through by making it harder to leave with their loot. So, will you guys make those wall sections attackable and/or passable?
great wall will add in game , that's the history . so i need to do it:)
WOW!!!! very good! Great job:bow:
Yet another mod i have to look forward to <sigh> :) looks good guys im a huge fan of RoTK and those pics look great.~:cheers:

Nooooooooo! your horrible! <shakes fist> how im being teased so!
Waitcu, why have you not answered my message here?

It is disrespectful to the entire modding community to inform us that you have made a breakthrough, but then not even bother to tell us how we can do this for ourselves.
As far as I know there is no mod that directly "competes" with you in covering the area of China, so you can't even use the excuse that somehow your mod would be harmed by telling us how this is done.
Please inform us how we can do the things you have shown us. You do not need to complete a tool in order to tell us what that tool does; which files are affected, and how they should be changed.
khelvan, he probably doesn't check this forum very often and hasn't seen your question. I guess you can always private message him.
khelvan about the break through that allow the soldier to fight on the tower. They haven't release the detail is because it is new, and there probably many bug and other stuff they must work out to release the data on how to do it. Now instead of malign them why don't you wait a little while? There is a thread that like you complain about them in twcenter, you can read all about it here.
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...ht=major+break
hope that help
I'm not maligning them, I'm asking for a simple, bare-bones explanation of how something was already achieved (or the screenshot could not have been taken) two weeks ago. I'm not calling for the release of a buggy tool, I just want to know what files they manipulated and a basic, one or two sentence explanation of how they affect those files.
I don't need a full tutorial. We're all modders here, we don't need to have our hands held. Just a simple statement (we take file X and we do Y to it) would be nice. Hell, I could even accept the explanation in Mandarin.
I'll try PMing him.
i am sorry , i haven't on guild these days . so busy . i have reply in https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=54675
I like those models. Looks good.
Kataphraktoi likes Byzantium, but as a Chinese, Kataphraktoi likes the way Zhan Guo mod is coming along.
Very high quality modding present in the screenshots.
Kataphraktoi feels happy that there are Chinese TW fans out there. He feels like crying right now because he's so happy that he's not alone...sounds gay doesn't it? :duel:
Kataphraktoi recommends that Waitcu be awarded 20,000 taels of Silver...

i update all new screenshot there . enjoy it :)
I hope youre keeping track of your polygons. Those buildings look a bit excessive. And very amazing.
Yep, the detail in those buildings looks amazing, I just wonder if we have enough time to appreciate them though.
Wow!!!
more wallpapers!!!https://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b...how/palace.jpg
what is the release date?
for when the demo???
You may want to check TW Center; the team actually seems to be posting updates there.
ok~D
Spectacular!
Is there a release date?
it is "Sun Tzu", no?
What? my nick?
I wanted it to be but it was taken, so.....just added an i at the end.
ok, I understand.~D
Very impressive mod gentlemen! I've been reading about ancient chinese history of warfare, and siege engines recently.
Two questions:
1)The siege artillery, does it work with new animations?
If so, could you share this discovery with us?
2)Have you been able to modify or add siege engines yet? I wish to know if it's possible to change their models, and if there's a way to change the "siege point" value of each machine.. So for example the "siege tower" can cost 200 siege points. Siege points are allocated at the beginning of a siege.
If you don't understand what I am saying, I'll try to rephrase.
What can I say boys and girls? Your mod looks fantastic and I have to say I'm seriously considering getting BI just so that I can play this mod when it's finally completed. I hope that the Zhan Guo will be every bit as good as it looks.:bow:
Perhaps the most ambitious Total War mod to date!
Just a quick question: The Zhuge-Nu/Chu-Ko-No won't be in the game, right? If I'm not mistaken, it was invented during the Three Kingdoms period, but I'm not sure. Just wondering.
new screenshots!:san_cheesy: :san_cheesy: :san_cheesy:
http://generalscollective.com/forums...hp?topic=291.0
the mod is for RTW 1.2, RTW 1.3 or BI?
We're trying to make it work for BI.
Btw, merry Christmas and happy holidays!!!
Just checked some of the more recent updates, and it's looking rather good. Keep it up!
ok, BI 1.4?Quote:

Still looking very promising.
Is there any truth to the rumours that the team won't release the mod outside China (or at least, in English), or is that just the case for the tools they've developed for creating this mod?
What type of rumors are that?
I have to demolish their rear.
In any case, there will be an English version (I'm in charge of that).
And it would be released to as many forums that will host it as possible.

You know, sometimes its rather hard to drive a chariot and carry the torch at the same time.
WOW! beautiful!
Looking as excellent as ever!
Very glad to hear that indeed. It didn't seem likely it wouldn't be released outside of certain regions, but I've seen that kind of thing happen with other projects so I was wondering about it.Quote:

AquaLurker, it is normal.

Warrning .if you install the demo's chinese texts files , your may not see any words in BI .because your RTW and BI have no chinese words store system in it . so if you want to enjoy the demo first without the texts . you can save your menu_english.txt and diplomacy.txt in other folder of RTW\BI\DATA\TEXT , after install the demo just copy that two files back into the RTW\BI\DATA\TEXT .
Yes they are making an English version but its not done yet. Its not the easiest thing to do translate an entire text
Download your Chinese version of the DEMO (as in a real DEMO meant as a Beta) here today!!!
http://www.badongo.com/file.php?file...213;ù.rar
Not today...I mean now!!!!
Unzip and copy and paste the files into RTW directory.
You need a clean RTW and BI install...so that's version 1.04.
Most demos just offer battles. If this will have 40 cities, I cannot imagine how many the full demo will have.:dizzy2:
My jaw dropped when I saw these screenshots and now I cannot find it:embarassed: .
The download speed is okay. I hope the files merge fine.
If there are any mirrors for the files please do list them.
Hmm, don't know why it's not on this forum yet, but:
Zhanguo - Total War Demo has been released.
BT download:

Uh, from experience, it seems like the BT will download faster on BitComet or Thunderstorm.
