Westeros Total War

[5000]

hey thanks for that image shack suggestion, here are some pics of my map so far.

the twins


the eyrie


the trident with river run and harenhal


winterfell



i was able to change the names of cities easy enough, but with so much to do i found my self jumping all over the place trying to change things, and getting confused as to where i was and what i was doing( not the greatest multitasker)
so i decided i would wait on tryin to change the faction names and flags and units and what not until i was completely done with the map, which is still in progress. the areas above are the closest to being complete if not already.

Good idea I love the series, not much info on different types of units though.

That map is amazing, everything looks like it's in place. That must have taken a lot of work. I actually had already started working on a super accurate map of Westeros, but when it came to implementing it in game it got a little confusing. Check it out:



I'm still figuring out how I can get something like this to load up in map editor so I can tinker with it some more. Making a new map from scratch isn't as easy as I thought, so if anyone can point me to a tutorial or something that explains this I'd be grateful.

Anyways, keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to this.

Nice map. I fully support that project (I'm a fan of the A Song of Ice and Fire serie).

bigwig: i see you scanned the map and blacked it out just like i did, i still have a file that looks exactly like that

its rather long but if you have the attention span this will greatly help, i tried reading bits and pieces at at time, but would recommend just reading the entire thing, then reference back to it.

when first starting the map, it kept ctd ing. i believe i was having landmass problems, i guess the game requires a certain amount of landmass to run, no one knows exactly how much however. so i created a map that was all landmass and slowly took out peices of it replacing it with water, it was kind of a long process but ended up working, the size ended up being 106 by 255.


but if you wanted to work together on this i'd be down, because i wanted to do a full on mod, with new factions, units, family trees, etc. pretty much the whole deal, i discovered that it would be an extremely large amount of work for one person. i had spent about 2 weeks on it, then finally got burnt out, i've started back up on it after about a month off. currently workin on the dornish marches.

currently i'm still deciding who to have as factions and what regions to include.

I will try also to make some more connections. From my side, I cannot do almost anything (I can write some code in C, but not much) but I can give some support for simple tasks and discussions.
