Native America Total War, recruiting

[Chilly5]

Hello RTW comunity!
There have been a few ads about this mod before, that were here, but on one seemed to care, and they rotted...and so did our project, our lack of members really threw us off, and our forums stayed empty and quiet....until we got a super member and every member was PMed (all that could be anyway) and the mod was revived from certain doom. I give you:

made by cinestar

This mod takes place in precolumbian Native America (1200-1400AD), a time of tribal disbutes and risings of empires.
factions include:
North America - East:

*Choctaw/Chicasaw
*Abenaki confederacy
*Iroquois confederacy
*Sesquahannock

North America - Plains:

*Cheyenne
*Blackfoot
*Crow

Aridomerica:

*Pueblo
*Pawnee

Mesoameica:

*Toltec

Aztec Triple ALLIANCE :

*Tenochitlan
*Texcoco
*Tlacopan

(that is the current GOLD faction list, may alter upon final realese)
What we have done:
so far only one unit has been completed:

(modeled and skined by...darn forgot name, but edited by {nF}remix)
the map is also being worked on by aldaceleb and vopohame.

The mod is current ly in progress by hard working members, we desperately need modelers (what mod doesnt ) and more skinners, reaserchers are also welcome since we lost most of our reaserchers during the revival.
Anyone that wants to join (and help out) , here, are our forums:

Here are some Sigs made by cinestar (more differently themed sigs may come soon)

[Viper]

If I knew anything about Modeling or Skinning I would. But all I know is books and games. Though I am cuious exactly what time frame this takes place in...or at least starts

[EvilNed]

Wouldn't be better to make the Incas a quadripple alliance rather than the Aztecs? If I'm not mistaken, the Incas were the big bosses around the time, and had a much bigger empire.

[Chilly5]

Oh yeah, i need to add the time period.
The time period is precolumbian native america 1200-1400 i believe. I'm not positive on the exact dates.

Aztec Triple alliance may or maynot be used, Aztecs will be the focus of our mod. Although the triple alliance is proving us some difficulties....

[Chilly5]

OMFG! Why dosnt anyone care?! What am I doing wrong?! C'mon there's got to be someone interested! Someone?! Post here for god's sake! Argh, isnt there some flamer that wants to attack the mod?! Why does no one care!!!?

Sigh, oh well, we have some FMV videos, if anyone cares:

[Strike For The South]

[King of Atlantis]

Argh, isnt there some flamer that wants to attack the mod?! Why does no one care!!!?

arrrgh. This mod #^$%@$#.

Is that better

[Chilly5]

Oh yes, I am soo comforted but that was mainly for the SCC forum post, they have *looks around* [whisper]prof...[/whisper]*hears gasps*

strike for the south, go to our forums and help out, reaserchers are welcome.

[King of Atlantis]

shouldnt the mayans be in the time period?

[Lonely Soldier]

King of Atlantis - If I'm not mistaken they died out around 900-1000CE.

Chilly5 - Settle down ! I've waited months for there to be any movement on my mod (AoM:TW - see my sig!), but now we're getting somewhere. Just be patient .

[swirly_the_toilet_fish]

Yeah, the Mayans were eradicated early from the expansion of the other mesoamerican natives. However, most of their monuments still existed at this time.

[King of Atlantis]

Yeah, the Mayans were eradicated early from the expansion of the other mesoamerican natives. However, most of their monuments still existed at this time.

actually the disaperance of the mayans is a mystery. They seemed to be flourishing, but then the just "disapered". It has lead to some far out explainations.

[swirly_the_toilet_fish]

True. Weren't they known for their astronomical(?) calendar?

[King of Atlantis]

I saw one place that said they got into a stargate and left, but it was a joke

well sorry for hijaking this thread i'll stop now.

[Chilly5]

Lonley soldier- I believe my mod is actually older than yours, after my mod waqs out, I noticed a few adds from you a few weeks later. Remember, this mod was alive like 3 months ago, then died, this is a revival.

Also, according to my historians, the mayans never fully died out, they still had a military in like the 1800's and were the last to go down from the spanish.

[Captain-Tiguris]

I can only work as a designer but since you don't need them...

Anyway, to add more flexability with your mod - simply state that you are not re-playing history are you? Its total war.

[Chilly5]

I suppose that is really up to the player ti decide if they feel like walking through history, but we will try to make this mod as histoically accurate as possible (some tweaks for gameplay too... ie-no more faction uniforms) if you can help out in anyway you can go to our forums to join. Though modelers and skinners are the most needed as of now.

[Captain-Tiguris]

Ok, but if you do accept me then I would be tweaking the skins looks etc to get them to look their best.

[Chilly5]

How will you do that exactly?

[Captain-Tiguris]

Like your unit so far, I doubt every stripe on each warrior would be exactly perfect, hence no need for stripes/splodges. Things like stripes on units have to be researched as hand-painted shapes would not be on every single unit to the exact point and this applies with blood too and perhaps body paints.

This is the sort of thing I would be doing. Give me a pm if you want any help.

[Chilly5]

I am not sure if that is needed...at least we dont need a member to actually devote themselves to the topic (to add extra details right?). Do you have another skill? Can you skin?


We have Centurion Quintus making wallpapers/logos etc:

[Captain-Tiguris]

I cannot skin no, but I am gradually learning to text edit (I can change names! lol) Anywayz, if you want me pm me and good luck

That he is doing is not too hard, anyone can do it

[Chilly5]

I know, but he did it really fast, I'm sure something more will come.

edit-how do I pm you? (not used to the org settings)

[Captain-Tiguris]

Click on my name and scroll to send Captain-Tiguris a private message. The your done. Oh and I would make some of those smaller to make the writing look smooth.

[Chilly5]

Who cant....But I suppose you can do what you can, I'll see what you can do. I'm desperate....

[Captain-Tiguris]

Got your pm and I am expecting a reply (when this is posted). The worst thing you can do now is state your desperate. If you have a well-planned idea with factions and units ready-to-be-made, then it gives the skinners etc something to work on.

NEVER STATE YOU ARE DESPERATE

[Chilly5]

I'm not desperate, the mod is really progressing quite well. I just said that to get attention.

[Captain-Tiguris]

What would you have me do for your mod?

[Chilly5]

Nothing as of now, except to explain to me again what your skills were exactly and sign up at our forums.

Here, we have the Aztlan faction's banner, made by cinestar:
