Highland Revival?

**dclare4** · 08-06-2005, 13:21

Well with BI coming out and some really good features mentioned I think that I may (after ZTW) try and encourage my partners to consider their the WASP mod or a new Jacobite Total War mod.

I didn't think the Jacobite period would be optimal for a mod about the Highlands, or clan warfare in general.

**Duke Malcolm** · 08-09-2005, 14:31

I think that RTW would be more suited to a clan war mod, because the king could replace the senate, and the most loyal landed families and clans could be the Roman Factions.

**GoreBag** · 08-09-2005, 18:48

Ooh, the king as the senate. I hadn't thought of that.

Hi everybody,

A while back i wanted to help King Malcolm with his mod... but sadly his mod died out. I'm a fanatical Scottish history student from the Netherlands. So if you all need any historical help just let me know!

if you want as i 'work' for zulu tw with dclare once zulu tw is up and running i'll make a trait system which has titles and offices... it could be similar to the roman 'consul-praetor' etc traits...

Hi there Atholl,

While it's not for a Scottish mod per se, Highland regiments were involved in wars for South Africa since its conquest by the British. Would you know anything about Pipe bands or the 93rd, 91st, 74th Highlanders? Particulrly stuff that's not online

Thanks very much,

Hi KM, have you heard the news? They're coming out with Medieval TW 2 next year w/c I guess is RTW plus all the medieval stuff we've 'missed' - hopefully mapping and modelling hasn't changed TOO MUCH. I'm more inclined now to await that for a Jacobite Rising mod than to push it with RTW (I'm hoping to get the Pope to be the Hanoverians hehehe). In the meantime I do hope you will consider helping out ZTW even if only with the Scottish units (you do have 3D Studio Max for modelling right?) and you can rest assured that I've not forgotten or stopped wanting to make a Jacobite mod.

Best regards,
Harlechman (Clare)

Yes, I heard. I doubt the models will have changed much, but a new map would not be too bad...

As for a Jacobite mod, It would be better to wait for MTW2, since it is (almost) the right time period, and there would be no pesky senate-and-roman system (I've not played BI...), and there might be better modding capabilities, and abilities to give titles. Although, I would not mind doing a simple clan war one, perhaps the two could be merged as one.

I do have 3DSMax, yes. My modelling skills could do with some improvement first, but I can certainly try...

Again my inspiration was something along the lines of Rob Roy (the movie) w/c would give plenty of room for clan warfare. The same old cast is there but with the expanded number of factions I can see more clans being represented including the Clan Chattan (lead by Mackintosh but with a rebel breakaway faction under the Macphersons), the Macleods of Skye and MacDonalds of Sleat as well as the MacNeills of Barra. The conflict can be between rival clans but with the 'religion' issue modded into political allegiance so instead of 'The Pope declares the French excommunicate' you have 'King George has declared the MacDonalds of Clanranald outlaws.'

Another thing I hope they bring back is the Throne Room of STW. It really gave a lot of atmosphere to have embassies arrive there and one of my fondest wishes was to be able to convert those into some Scottish clan chief's home. I heard somewhere they're bringing back the assasination videos.

Actually BI has no senate any longer and there are expanded capacities for titles and offices. However I hope they make the titles and offices in MTW2 similar to MTW - both territory related and faction related. For example if you capture Strathbogie Castle you get the territorial title 'Cock o'the North' but in your own faction you strive to get titles of nobility (Duke of Argyll, Earl of Loudoun, Earl of Breadalbane, Earl of Stair)

Well here's hoping for MTW2 to be good. In the meantime the veldt is a great place for action...

Hi all

Well this is indeed most fortunate timing. I was just over at TWCenter about to announce a Scottish Clan Mod, when I thought I'd check over here first.

If there is anyone here that is still interested in helping a mod such as this please PM me. At this early stage researchers only are required....even better if you have other skills.

I too have wanted to get this exact mod off the ground, and now seems to be an appropriate time, with MTW 2 being announced. This new engine will be perfect for the clan and border wars.

The mod I intend to make will use MTW 2 and therefore is still a little while off. The working name will be Medieval Scotland:Total War, and I am in the process of drawing up a design document.

Anyway enough for now, I will open a topic on Saturday to announce this mod.

So if you are interested please PM me and or reply here.

cheers
