Faction List Discussion

[Rhyfelwyr]

Oh, it's great so far, although I'll think I might get confused a bit by the two black colored factions . I know one is the HRE, whats the other?

I just wish I had your modding ability.

First of all, thanks!

But trust me, if you persevere with modding then you will get there in the end. I think you are exactly where I was in the past - lots of ideas for mods, distracting you from playing the game, but you get overwhelmed with all the tough technical aspects of modding. I'm as thick as they come when it comes to working with code and complicated file formats and having to make every pixel perfect - but I stuck to the guides, made lots of mistakes, and now I'm working on a total conversion mod.

I have more failed mods than you would shake a stick at. The first one to succeed, also the most recent, was the Mali faction mod. It took a long time getting the experience the hard way before I successfuly completed that first mod.

Rest assured, I won't let this one fail! I'm just taking a break this month because of exams.

Oh, and the other black coloured faction is the Kara-Khitan Khanate, appearing as the Timurids of vanilla there.

Ugh, still...maybe someone could actually make a complete idiots guide to modding? I mean, in a way in which we start from basic principles, move onto basic text editing, step up to faction editing, faction creation, retexturing, modeling, then finally animations? Then, have a nice way of composing it all into one thing so you can look over and see the steps and file location necessary?

That would be to awesome though

Right now, all I am trying to do is take whats in Kingdoms, move it over to M2TW, and add in a handful of factions, redo a couple units skins and assign them to factions.

And someone to explain how upgrades interact with a unit would be awesome too, one of the major things I keep trying to screw around with.

And thanks, I was wondering who they were. Good to see each theater of war has a decent amount of faction and provinces to make it interesting. You go from Microcosm to Macrocosm pretty seamlessly in such a way. And I will just have to use Ghana to conquer the world
