Britain Total War

[RTW King]

This MOD would be set in Roman times in Britain, Ireland and Northern France. The factions would be mainly British tribes who fight each other to gain lands, but at the same time must unite to stand a chance against the huge invading Roman armies.

Three Generals from the Julii Family control lands in northern France, after just having conquered the Gauls. These Generals command vast armies, and are rewarded with further reinforcements for completing missions given by the Julii Family. The British Tribes must unite to defend themselves against these mighty Roman armies.

This MOD would be a big project, but it's only the second I've ever made (my realism MOD will soon be up for download in RTW Heaven). I can research, and change units stats and discriptions. I would need a lot of help with unit graphics and things like that, as I don't have 3dsmax. So, if your able to help, please tell me as soon as possible.

[RTW King]

Sorry, I'm new to this site. I didn't realise this part was just for mods in development.

[RTW King]

Or are ideas supposed to go here to?

I'm very confused.

[Sundjata Keita]

Blame the moderators ;) Lots of people post ideas here too, mainly in the hopes of getting a team together so development can begin, so don't worry, you posted in the right place. If you have an idea but have no intention of actually making the mod yourself post in the general modding forum. The unwritten laws of the org...

Regards,

I do want to help with this MOD. I can do research and stats and descriptions and all the boring stuff like that. I do know how to MOD stuff like this I've done it before (its my realism MOD it should be ready to put up for download in RTW Heaven fairly soon). I would just need a couple of people to help with stats and stuff like that, and a few modelers and skinners aswell.

[Ianofsmeg16]

I can edit Provinces, unit names and faction names....what tribes will you be including?
will you be including the isle of man? cos i know alot bout our history and would be of some service

[RTW King]

Yeah, the Isle of Man will be included.

I'm in the middle of doing research for the tribes right now , I'll tell you whatever I get later today. I'm also making a website for this mod, the link is in my signature.

[RTW King]

OK, I've pretty much got the British tribes sorted out. Go to my website (in my signature) and see them. The annoying thing is, because its a free website builder I'm using, I can only right the info for 7 of the tribes due to a paragraph limit . I'll see if I can do anything about it. Anyway, have a look at what I've got and tell me what you think.

looks good! maybe you should include a map of where the tribes will be

[RTW King]

I'll try. Theres a website you can look at, I'll get a link for it once I find it again.

[Ianofsmeg16]

i looked at your site...the manx celts were of a completely different culture to the mainland celts and, if you cannot include them as a faction, at least give them units you can only recruit in the isle of man (or Ynys Manau, main town Balley Cashtal)

[RTW King]

I've added the map to the Factions list bit.

[RTW King]

I've also got some information on the basic units on the website. I'll need help researching this I can't find much information.

[King of Atlantis]

many unit models that could be used for this mod will probably be in BI.

[RTW King]

I've added lots of ideas for units to the site. Tell me what you think about them.

[Agraes]

You may ask the First Triumvate team, they plan to make a lot of differents mods on each period of Roman history, we work with them for Gallia : Total War, I think it will be interesting to collaborate.

Ask them on the forum :

You may also ask Ranika who know a lot of things on the Celts (he works with the EB team but he help others modders like the Age of Vikings and Fanatics team or my other mod project Arthurian : Total War). He will give you historically accurate units (not Kerns or Gallowglasses).

hi rtw king. i have been working on a britain total war mod for quite some time. its a bit different, concentrating on scotland england and wales and only having a single roman faction which starts in the very south east of england. if you can't get a team together it would be great if you would help with my mod.

[RTW King]

I'm going to see if I can get a team together. If you want to help, tell me and I'll put your name on the team bit of my website (link in signature). Modelers and skiners are in particular required.

[RTW King]

Does this sound OK for the proper name for this mod:

Britannia: Romanorum Incursio (means roughly Britain: Roman Invasion)

[Ianofsmeg16]

sounds great, btw, is there anything i can do for you....i can chage the shape/position/names of provinces, change the names of factions/units/towns...and i can edit the camp map a little e.g. little islands or adding onto the land

[RTW King]

It would be great if you would join the mod team and help get it started. I'll put news and stuff on the mod team part of the website. So, do you want to officially join the team?

[Ianofsmeg16]

yeah sure!
BTW Looked at your units and a couple of things....Welsh Bowmen? are you going to keep that name? cos Wales as a country didnt exist until the saxons came and called the Wealhas(sp??) and the manx were also famous for their use of heavy cavalry so add another unit on.....and what jobs can you do? cause i can only do basic camp map work so i may need a guy to help me do the map and i can make any little changes that you feel needs to be done

[kingwill]

the main tribes of wales were the silures, dementae and ordovices (which included the segontaci, deceangi and cornovii)

please dont include Pict Crossbowmen this is a unit taken from viking invasion and is totally stupid for the time period. and also reneame hobilars to something more appropriate. also no phalanxes.

[RTW King]

EB gave Spearmen to a British tribe, and they formed a phalanx.
Also, ian of smeg, do you want to use the pic in my signature for yours. I'm making an improved one, and it might help recruit for the modding team.

[Ranika]

I PMed you some stuff, and the phalanx in EB is a fill in for a shieldwall. I PMed you all my main complaints with your unit list, foremost being the huge inaccuracies of your 'Hibernian' units (you have all dark/middle age units there).

[RTW King]

Those units were just ideas, nothing is definate. I wan't sure about Pict Crossbows and the Irish units.

Oh and Ian of Smeg, I'll add your Manx Cav and fix the Bowmen. Go to the Mod Team part of the site for any news.

[kingwill]

are you going to give the barbarian factions catapults?

[RTW King]

Would it be historically accurate?

[kingwill]

no idea, i was asking for my mod. On one hand i wouldnt think so historically, except for the southern factions perhaps, but on the other there is a big disadvantage for the factions that can't get them.

[RTW King]

For my mod I was thinking to reducing the city levels of Romans to 3 to match barbarians, and maybe only make Palisades and Wood Walls available. I'm not sure, but I don't think Romans built stone walls around thier towns and cities in Britain much. If Romans got stone walls in the game, it would be practically impossible for the tribes to get by them. BTW, what kind of units are you using in your mod. You can check mine in the website (my signatures mucked up right now, go to www.freewebs.com/britaintw).
