Arthurian : Total War is a mod project I have, based on Barbarian Invasions xpack.

Action will take place during Britain dark ages, in Britain and in Northern Gaul. I have choose 481 AD for the starting date, and it will end in the VIIIth or late VIIth century.

Featured region :



For this time I have choosed those factions :
- 11 Britons factions, like Domnonia, Gododdin, Gwynedd or Rheged...
- 3 Irish factions, Dal Riada, Mumainha and the Ui Neills
- the Picts
- 3 Anglo-Saxons factions : Saxons, Angles and Juts.
- the Franks

Another map I have made (continental provinces not showned) :



COMPLETE PROVINCES LIST :

Britons will have very good units and an extended territory but will have to fight on every fronts : rebels kingdoms, Scots of Dal Riada, Picts, Angles, and Saxons.
If you choose Domnonia, you can own Arthur at the beginning of the game (there is no historical evidence but Arthur might have be from Domnonia, and became Amherawdyr 'Imperator' of Britain, or High-King, a successor of the romans governors).
The north Britons will got strong warlords like Urien Rheged, Rydderch Hael of Strathclyde, or Maelgwn Gwynned.
But Saxons will have Cerdic and Scots Aedan mac Gabran.

So Britons will have strong cavalry, romans-like soldiers, and 'Clan Warriors'.
Germans will got a powerful infantry, berserkers and axemen.
Picts will got terribles warriors, with not a good defense but very strong attack, and will be experts at ambush.
Irish will got tribal warriors, lancers, and a lot of javelinemen.

Fortress will be hillforts, roman cities, etc...

MOD PROGRESS :
We have done a lot in historic researchment.
Faction research : we got 20 factions, factions descriptions are to done.
Symbol research : we got symbol ideas, but none are done yet.
Units research : we have done a lot of Britons units. We need help to find some ideas (historically accurate if possible) for AoR/unique units for the Britons, for more saxons and pictish units, for franks and wisigoths units, and to complete all of our descriptions.
Skinning/Modeling : we need skinners and modelers.
Mapping : map_heights is done.
Codding/texting : none is done.

So if it interest you and if you have not mod project for this summer and/or this autumn please told me

WE ARE RECRUITING MODDERS, ESPECIALLY SKINNERS AND MODELERS !

Our team :
Agraes : project leader, historical research, maybe latter codding.
Ian : historical research, maybe latter codding and mapping.
Ranika : historical research
Thrashaholic : historical research
Spongly : historical research
