Gallia : Total War

[Agraes]

Hi all !

Sorry for my poor english but I will try to do my best.

I am currently researching skinners and modelers for a new mod called Gallia TW. I have seen others posts there speaking about mods ideas on the same theme but my project have began since a few time.

The mod is about the wars of the gauls, and Supertw (who's also working on the Black Moon's Chronicles mod, and the initiator of Gallia TW) is currently working on the map.

We have choosed a compromise between make all of the celtic tribes playables and make only one faction for the Gauls. There will be 12 factions :

Non-gauls factions :
- Britons
- Germans
- Romans (house of julii)

Gauls factions :
- Helvetes
- Arverni
- Eduani
- Remes
- Senoni
- Carnuti
- Aquitani
- Armoric Coalition
- Belgic Coalition

As you can see, there are two types of Gauls factions, the first type is made of the strongest tribes that will own client tribes, and the second one is made of coalition.

The mod will tend to be historic, so there no more stupid nude barbarians but real celts warriors. I have also contacted historic re-enactement groups to help us.

I have also to show you some concept arts made by Lucterios. We will try to make each faction have quite differents warriors but they will look like this.
Another idea for us is to make a specific unit in each territory (for exemple, arverni cavalry), and if you take it you can train this unit.

The roman cavalry will be made of gauls and germans auxiliairies.


Ambacte and Soldure are elite warriors.






Also, for those who understand french, this is the original post on esprit-str :

I have also another mod project, whose name is 'Arthurian : Total War', it will be based on the x-pack but I will gave you more informations about it latter.

C'est bien cool. Malheureusement, je n'ai aucun talent pourquel t'en cherches. Mais...peut-être les "Allemands" seraient plutôt un tribu avec un nom propre, ou peut-être plus qu'un tribu. Je comprend que c'est un mod au propos de Gaule, mais c'est aussi un mod historique, oui?

Bonne chance avec la recherche des skinneurs et modèleurs (y a t-il des mots propres pour ces termes anglais?).

Bonjour Agraes, bienvenu a le .ORG.



Unfortunately I can’t help, I’m busy with my own mod, but maybe you could ask kindly at EB to use some of their skins ? It’s a possibility, you could call it a sub-mod of EB…



NeonGod, puisque aux .ORG la plupart des gens parle Anglais, c’est utile de mettre une version Anglaise de ton texte.

NeonGod, since at the .ORG most people speak English, its useful to put an English version of your text.



NeonGod’s text in English:

That’s cool. Unfortunately, I don’t have any of the skills your looking for. But … maybe (not sure here, this isn’t exactly clear NeonGod « peut-être les seraient plutôt un tribu » ?) there should be a tribe with a proper noun, or even more than one tribe. I understand that this is a mod about Gaule, but its also a historical mod, yes?



NeonGod, there are already several tribes, there’s a list of them in his post… What are you trying to say?

Derrrrr...

J'ai mis le mot "Allemands" en parenthèses francais, mais, je pense, les parenthèses ont été considéré comme html. Arrgh.

Arrrgh.

Je vais le modifier maintenant.

For the anglos out there:

I was just suggesting that ze Germans are called by their proper tribe names and not just a general "Germans"; even though the mod is about Gaul, it IS historical mod. Why make them all a single, white-washed faction if there was more than one, and even if not, why not change the name?

Thanks for answering me

As you might know, there are a lot of differents tribes in Gaul, I have read about 500 ! So we can't represent them all, we have to make differents factions. With 9 Gauls factions, it is at all a real challenge to make for them a different gameplay.

For Germans, and also Brittons, I know they were also a lot of tribes ! But as you say, the mod is based on the war of Gauls, the map will not represent a big part of Britain and Germany, so I think we will kept only one German faction and only one Britton faction for the moment.
We could also rename 'Germans' by Cimbres or Teutons, two tribes who had an action during the War of Gauls.

Maybe, in a latter version of the mod we will see

Ah, il y a deux tribus qui ont battu les Gaulois. J'aimerais tellement si ces deux tribus étaient représentés séparément, mais c'est mon opinion.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide que n'est pas pour "skinner" ou "modèler", j'offre mes services modestes.
