Hello everyone, it seems like it has been years since I have posted anything on the forums. I just drifted away after MTW2 was a disappointment, and never came back after I heard ETW was such a debacle. However, since I heard the there will be a Shogun 2, it sparked my interest to come back and see if anyone still plays MTW?
I have just reloaded MTW back on my computer, and what can I say except that this game is such a wonderful gem to still own. However, finding mods and the patch for VI has been quite the chore.
The reason I am posting is that I am somewhat interested in making my own mod to suite my own playing tastes, and I am wondering if anyone would be interested if I shared it, and or wanted to help in making it.
My idea would be to make the game more like STW in that everything was simple. The player never outclassed the opponents troops because it was easy to build up the infrastructure to make the best troops. This is the main area I feel the vanilla game fails at. The ai still builds peasants in the 1350's.
So here is my idea:
1) No more peasants period.
2) Eras for units, so that the ai has to build better units in later eras.
3) More realistic build times. A advanced spearmaker should not take 8 years to build.
4) Homelands for units, not building longbowmen in egypt, or camels in russia.
5) Adjust the troops available to each faction, in a medmod like way, i.e. italy has great spears, france has great knights, english archers are a force to be reckoned with.
6) I really don't have any experience making new units, or factions, so I won't make this a priority, but if I have time, I may dabble into that.
any feedback on these ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Merry Christmas
