eldar scrolls total war mod idea

Thats what I told htem on page one...there are almost a dozen factions per province, and to combine them into one faction per province would be as anachronistic as using one faction for the Barbarians, or 3 Roman factions, etc.

i'll see if i can knock up a bretony map for you within a couple of days if you want attrebus... i was going to do one anyway as i saw the map you had and it looked like a good one to do, lots of provinces with the outlines clearly marked and named...unless you want to do it yourself of course

attrebus...does anyone have a more detailed version of that betony map ie higher res?

so i am a junior...wow cool! i feel much younger now!

how do i advance in rank?

and why doesn't the powers that be change the ranking system to something more suitable... add a little more flavour...

like using legionary...decurion...centurion...that kind of stuff...

maybe i should keep the suggestions for until i'm a higher rank...

Well you wouldn't make 1 faction per province.

I would split up Vvardenfell, for instance, into the Ascadian Isles, Bitter Coast, West Gash, Ashlands, Sheogorad, etc. The Empire has withdrawn from Vvardenfell, so they wouldn't be there. Neither would anyone but the Nords in the North.

Post Morrowind, most Dunmer groups have been united AFAIK. Even the Temple is supposed to be reaching out to the Dissidents. I don't think it's a huge stretch to have one faction represent them. The replacement of Temples with the choice of a House reflects the divisions within the society.

I don't think we even have enough information on the warriors of each House to create seperate civs for them anyway. Just a couple generic Bonemold units for the 3 Houses in Vvardenfell and the armors we see in the expansion.

any comments to improve the map are appreciated...
borders...city locations...port locations, wasn't sure about some...

i'm picturing a lot of standard units from all over tamriel, so that people will be able to create most of the campaigns they are thinking of...technology doesn't seem to advance much in fantasy worlds so bonemold armour 200 years before will be pretty similar to bonemold armour 200 years later, the exception being maybe the imperials, as they may have improved units and tactics to have conquered tamriel...

my campaign map of tamriel wasn't meant to suggest that i thought the game should have these races and provinces, it's just as far as i got before i thought it needed to be bigger and more detailed to fit in the morrowind factions/sub provinces and also i didn't know how and where the other major provinces would be split into sub provinces...

there's a map of morrowind that shows the factions and their borders that was on a number of the tamriel lore sites and i had started making that one too...i would like the mod to remain as close to the original elder scrolls games as much as possible so really if that is going to happen we can only make a playable game from the betony/daggerfall or morrowind maps atm as these are the only detailed province maps i have found...

Great map, and thanks for the program link. Maybe now I can finally get to work on it in earnest with those maps as a base, if you dont mind, of course.

**hoccalugee** · 02-10-2006, 05:04

that's why i posted them, so they can be of use to others as well, if you need the .tga files let me know...

i'm about half way through the height map, and if you like i'll leave it with you after that and start on the morrowind/vaardenfell map...
