As my post count nears 500, and the Summer Holidays stretch out before me, I feel like undertaking a project to keep me busy and stop me wasting my life and my internet time alowance sitting round reading posts at the org.
For any of you who have not read them, the Warlord Chronicles are a series of 3 books written by Bernard cornwell (~the author of the Sharpe series of books). The Books are a rewrite of the traditional Arthurian legend, set in a very believable 5th and 6th centuary background, dealing with the Saxon invasion of Britian and the atempts of Arthur to unite the British people to repel these Germanic invaders. They are a fantastic set of books and I recomend that you all have a go at least the first book.
With the release of VI, the new map and units seem to me to be a perfect platform on which to design a simple mod based upon these books.
I have no modding skills what so ever at the moment, I have never modded MTW or any other game, but I wish to have a go, and that means keeping it simple (at least for the initial stages of the mod).
At the moment I am collecting information and facts for the background of the mod.
At the moment all I intend to do is to rename existing factions and change their starting provinces, as well as setting the start date back to the 5th centuary. I will not be doing any of this yet, and will probably need to be told exactly what to do so expect to see me asking a lot of questions in the near future. Eventualy I may want to edit units and add new faction flags, but that will not be for a while.
At the moment I just want to know who would be interested in me creating this mod, I will probably have a go anyway even if no one else is interested, but it might give me a bit more insentive if others want it
Can also some experienced modders let me know any tools I will need to do this mod. (Gnome editior?)
Thanks,
Brother D
