Iberia: Total War

[Monkwarrior]

Hi to everybody,
I am proud to announce the development of a new mod called Iberia: Total War. The web page www.iberiatw.tk is still under construction but the forum is open.
The origin of this mod was the feeling that the spanish faction had been undervalued a bit in the normal game, and also the importance that the conquest of Hispania had for the creation of a truly roman empire.
This mod has two objectives:

1 - The development of a totally new spanish faction for the "normal" game. This will require a total reskin of the current units and/or the design of new units, together with new banners for the faction. Part of the work already done can be seen in the following forum:

2 - The creation of a new campaign focused on the conquest of Hispania.
As I posted in the general forum, this objective required cutting the existing map, enlarging it to a size comparable to the original one and placing new provinces up to a value in the range of 70-80.
Firstly only factions from the Iberian peninsula and "foreign" powers (romans, carthage, greeks) where considered. However, large parts of the map remained empty and it seemed advisable to include some other factions, such as numidian and gauls.
A first project of factions is the following (sorry for the mistakes in English spelling ):

For the moment the 14 factions are placed in a simple map and next operations are:
- Correcting the mistakes in the coasts and some ground_types.
- Including all the missing provinces, settlements and ports.
- Re-design of the factions involved, both in graphical aspect and character.

This project is being developed by a small team, with the help of people from clan celtiberos, mainly in the historical aspects (http://www.celtiberos.com/modules.ph...viewforum&f=21).
I hope this project will be interesting for the RTW community.

that would be cool to set up a spain mod... I was disappointed by the gameplay it offered in RTW, I played spain more often than not in MTW so. I can't help you out because I dont know jack about modding but goodluck with this it looks like a good start.
