Asian Project

[TheMagicalMan]

Hello Gentlemen,

My name is The Magical Man & I am a member of a new modding group called The 2 Blind Morons I am here to inform of our first project. Currently Named "The Asian Project, this mod will aim to enhance the soon-to-be-released Babarian Invasion. We are still in the planning & research stages, but this mod will aim to add several new factions and will hopefully extend towards China & maybe Japan.

The objective of the campaign for this mod will likely NOT be whatever the Babarian Invasion, but will likely have the simpler abjective of capturing 40-60 provinces. This is because it would be rather pointless to attempt to get factions in the Far East to take Rome. Every faction will likely have further objectives of their own.

Details are still being decided, & actual work will unlikely be able to start until the Babarian invasion is released in Britain(August sometime).

The 2 Blind Morons are me(The Magical Man) & Count Vlad.

Please keep an eye out for further news (likely to be posted in the Modding section) & any contributions are welcome.

Ichi,

Thank you very much for your warm welcome.

We are hoping that this project will be interesting, realist, and, most of all, a fun experience for everyone.

All,

We shall post further details when they have been confirmed. After that time, we will be welcoming all contributions.

Also, anyone who wishes to take a more "fuller" part in building this mod will be gratefully accepted. Please email us at theasianproject@btinternet.com.

Thank you.

Since you can only use 21, or rather 19, factions which ones of the existing ones will you delete to make room for the Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Mongols? etc etc?

Sounds like a good idea since a map size that you are planning is utterly hopeless to micromanage and/ or conquer. Are you planning maximum amount of provinces?

[Papewaio]

Interesting, most interesting.

What would be cool is if the scales changed as you go.

First off local villages and towns. Take the province then province vs province.

Then country vs country.

Then continent vs continent.

The campaign would move up in steps as the sides scale up.

"Since you can only use 21, or rather 19, factions which ones of the existing ones will you delete to make room for the Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Mongols? etc etc?"

-As I said, we are still attempting to figure this one out. What may (most unfortunately) have to happen, is that we have to to have 2 separate maps, one for the Asian area, & one for the European area. We are hoping that it doesn't come down to this, and we are still figuring out our full range of options for this problem.

"Sounds like a good idea since a map size that you are planning is utterly hopeless to micromanage and/ or conquer. Are you planning maximum amount of provinces?"

-Yes, we hope so, however, once again we may have to split the map into two parts. This won't be too much of a problem, but would still take away the main aim of a lartge map.

-I'm not entirely sure wat you mean, a little more clarification, perhaps?

UPDATE:

We believe that there is JUST enough room for the factions on the Full map from Europe to Japan. We are, however, still debating & deliberating on how we shall be incorporating the several Chinese states, Indian empires, & Germanic states. Also, one historical point is that the "Mongols" didn't appear for a long time. We are starting at 375 ad, therefore the Huns, who originated from Mongolia, will be in control. We are still trying to decide how we split the Huns up, as in reality, there were 2/3 different Hunnic "groups", Those who still lived in Mongolia, Those who were starting to settle in Europe, etc. We know that most mods would put the Huns as one tribe, but we are thinking of every possibility.

Thank you for all your interest.

One thing I would like to enquire about the forum, is how the heck do edit my posts, I would liketo have been able to place my update on the 1st post, so as to save space & to make like easier for others, however, even though I am fully registered, at the bottom of the page, it is saying "You may not edit posts", why is this?

Thank You

Our current thoughts are to do some major expansions to the map so it includes japan and maybe even africa and cape horn
This will also include making new units, battlemaps, new Campaign aims, etc. This will create a very large variety of fighting styles, etc.

For this, we will need further skilled indivisuals to aid us with this Project. Anyone interested should email us at theasianproject-requests@yahoo.co.uk.

for anyone wishing to find further infotmation should email theasianproject@btinternet.com
anyone wishing to contact me (countvlada) should emial theasianproject-countvlad@yahoo.co.uk

information on the mod will be posted on this thread by me or the magical man

Editing is a perk aquired with "member" status. Junior members do not have the facility. An introduction in the entrance hall and some cut-and-thrust debate in the tavern should get you closer to the member mark. Or...some moderator may take pity on you.....
