- North Britons, the same with Gododdin and/or Ebrauc and/or Elmet and/or Gwynedd and/or Strathclyde and/or Rheged

IRISH (Christian)

I started work on a campaign map for an arthurian mod ages ago. I'll see if I can find it for you. It went north up to the wall north of hadrians wall (whats it called?), down so that it included Aremorica and the north of the Franc territory, and half of Ireland

[Epistolary Richard]

I think that's the Antonine Wall.

[Ianofsmeg16]

The wall of antoninius pius, oooh go me!

[Agraes]

Looks very interesting, but we will need entire Ireland and Pictland also
And that's very kind of you

But the map can be extended West, I will ask Supertw for it. Aniway we cant finish the map before BI is out.

[King Ragnar]

You could make Hadrians Wall A landmark on the campaign map, the wall further north was only made from wood and earth, in 161 tho they left the wall and went back to Hadrians wall.

[Ianofsmeg16]

BRITAIN, Gwyr y Goggled...
- Ynis Manaw - ?

Ynys manaw - Either Bally Cashtal(castletown) or Cashtal Rosien(Castle Rushen, which is the citadel in castletown)

[Agraes]

As people on TWC also ask me to put several briton kingdoms I will do it

This is the scenario : Arthur is the new king of Domnonia, but he is also the high king of the Britons ! But a lot of others britons kingdoms have claimed their autonomy since the death of Emrys Gwledig, the uncle of Arthur and the last high king, or Amherawdyr. Arthur - and his successors - have to re-unite south britain under one king, to face Saxons !
The Domnonians will control Domnonia, Kernyw, Gwent, Glywising, Caer Lundein, Caer Glew, and Brittany !
I think give to this faction the control of continental territories seems interesting, cause they will got another main front facing Franks and Wisigoths.

[Ianofsmeg16]

Sounds good to me! all we need now is the map and we can get started proper, oh and a skinner etc...

[Agraes]

Well I think that we cant finish the map before BI is out, cause there will be several modifications added by CA in BI, but I hope we can begun the work on it (on the .tga).
If somebody want to skin some units, he can also do it... but for the moment, not the main units who may be presents in the x-pack. I have ordered 3 Osprey books (Pictish Warrior, Arthur and the Anglo-Saxon Wars, Anglo-Saxon Thegn) and I will probably order 3 history books (but there are a little expensive ) :
- Age of Arthur, John Morris
- Arthur's Britain, Leslie Alcock
- Origines de la Bretagne, Léon Fleuriot

And as I have said, I need :
- Pictish specialists
- Saxons specialists
- Irish specialists

but I also accept any welsh specialist in the team. So say clearly if you want to join my team and what you wanna do in the team (historical research, codding, skinning, mapping, modeling...). You can contact me on MSN (agraes1@aol.com) or on my mail adress : agraes@wanadoo.fr

And remember I am also working at this time on Gallia : Total War, based on RTW vanilla

[beauchamp21]

Awsome, idea, i think we should have a constant like Druidic/pagan vs. incoming christian feud, like in mists of Avalon

[Agraes]

Erps, no more pagan remaining in Britain at this time ! Or very few ones, but all the druids of Britain were slained by the Romans in Mona around 50 AD. Britons (except thoses of Strathclyde and Gododdin) at this time were romans and christians.
Irish were christians also, South Picts have been converted by St Ninnian few time before, North Picts by Columba around 550, Franks under Clovis reign, Wisigoths were aryan christians, only Saxons and Angles stay pagans, to the late VIIth century if I remember

[Ianofsmeg16]

well Agraes, count me on the team for research, any research you want i'll do ( i have a large library near me so i can go there)

[Ianofsmeg16]

It was at Castle Rushen, in my town, and it said; The Manx Celts, at this time, had brilliant spearmen that held of Irish and Briton Raids for many years. These heavy spearmen, armoured in chain mail, were reformed by Manannan......
thats what i can remember, and it goes on to say stuff about the vikings so i stopped reading
