i really like the story, i would read the books if he wrote them... but there are some problems putting it into rome
the multiple continents isnt supported well with the way that the ai thinks, they would just conquer their continent and stop, like the way that no ai faction conquers britain or ireland
it would be really hard to script that much into the game, expecially since we dont have a scripter
and magic, i know he said there would be little, but i think we should keep it out alltogether
just my thoughts
I think that I am going to start trying to work on this. I love how RTW really kind of unfolds a story with the characters and events that happen. A) I want to play RTW with my own characters and B) I think it will help me flesh out some stuff
Thank you very much for the input. The continent/ai is most helpful I didn't realize that. I have a couple questions if anyone could help out I would be most appreciative.
Is there a list of the traits available in the game anywhere?
And/or is there a downloadable or online copy of the desc_stat file or whatever it is anywhere. I need to print it out i just work better with hardcopy. If this is in a thread anywhere on the forum just a point in the right direction would be a big help. :duel:
you have a copy of your own that you can pring, but it is 20 some odd pages long, and the traits, i believe are in the data/texts/export_VnV.txt file
Your idea seems pretty interesting, Lord of Wolves. And I hope you do write your books one day. It seems like something I would like to read, just as your mod sounds like I would like to play it. But I am afraid there are something I don't understand in it.
Good luck.
Thanks for the info stich. I don't have a printer at home since the secret service confiscated my roommates. (long story) I was wanting to print it here at work. I think i'll email it to myself (hopefully) and try it that way. Thx again.
Thank you, your grace! What is it you don't undertand? And I will write these books one day. I have so much background work done that it would be silly not to. I am a tad hampered by the fact that I don't have much of any writing experience. I need to learn to be a good writer in order to get this stuff out of my head I suppose.
Has anyone heard of any modding going on with george r r martins a song of ice and fire books? I would be most interested to play that as those books were astounding.
Well, when you say a penal colony in the south, that bit I don't get. Do you mean the units will be prisoners and buildings prisons?
Also, when you say factions within nations, I don't quite understand what you mean in relation to how it could be implemented in Rome.
Please read all we've discussed and agreed on before you start trying to change what's already been decided upon.
That part might not be able to be simulated too well on RTW admittedly. The north is divided up amongst 9 greatlords and a king. They would be all their own factions, maybe with diplomatic ties to each other or the king. I doubt there's anyway to make a king faction similar to the senate and then put the king over nine factions. Ah well I can dream.
The south's origin was as penal colony. It has been a century or two since the great revolt and they have basically made little lordships out of the land. Seven lords I think. They are officially part of the same kingdom as the north but there is a lot of emnity between the two. The south is arid and so the units are lighter and fast moving. They would have some special units that are based on the lawless history of the locale. I can't remember an example at this moment. These southern lords are viewed as upstarts because they are not of noble birth, instead decending from the most powerful of the criminals who led the revolt. Only after much fighting has the south been subdued and made/allowed to keep its freedom, owing only allegiance to the king. And that only grudgingly until they can get strong enough to end that. Ultimately the southern lords are weak as together they are only as powerful as one of the greatlords from the north. I would have to counterbalance this by giving them some amazing resources or something.
What a long explanation for a small question. :bow:
Not sure if you are talking to me shadow, I am not trying to change what you guys are working on at all. Just asking for opinions on a project I want to do. I think what you guys have going sounds solid. Two minor things to mention. I think you guys were going to make names that were unique. The Russcogard or whatever still is pretty obviously Russian. The term Russian having come from the tribe of Russ I think. And the Anasazi or something sounds very familiar from a book I think but I couldn't tell you which one. Just trying to help. :book:
And if you weren't talking to me then....um....uh.....nevermind?
I have downloaded the various tools I have seen but can anyone point me to a thread or tool for religion editing? I am new here and I haven't stumbed across it yet.
religion editing??? dont know about that one...
@ Lord of Wolves:
The factions and where they're gonna be placed have already been decided upon, as is the story of the continent, though it still needs some adjustments according to the mod...
@stitchmaster
No idea about religion. You might wanna ask some people at TWC?
Haven't checked this thread for a while now, looks like you have not got much done ~;)
If you want to know more about editing religion I suggest starting a new post in the general forum but to be honest the only real editing of religion is the temples.
Can someone post the faction list here
Check the forum I made sudjata
Go to http://s10.invisionfree.com/Aetas_Total_War and sign upp :)Quote:
