I'd definitely be working on this if I weren't working on AoM:TW, if I was actually any good at modding...

Lol, thanks mate. We should have some concepts done before long by the way.

Hey Ilsamir Lord, Firstly I have to say there seems a lot of well thought out background with very rich cultures etc. Can we expect to see any fantastical creatures (something I personally look forward too) e.g. Orks Trolls Winged beats? (now that would be cool!)

Well... the Northern Kingdom has the Ethed (which is a big, bull-like mount) but I don't think we'll be using any standard creatures, like trolls and orcs. If you want that sort of thing you could check out the Warhammer or Lord of the Rings mods.

As for flying beasts: there is nothing in the engine to support them (cool though they are). There may be some way to include them, but again I'd be hesitant. I want realism above all else, and to me that means logical evolution (even if of imagined creatures). The ethed for example is a creature which could exist after thousands of years of human civilisation, as it has a practical use for humans, the same with horses. I feel that dragon-like creatures would be hunted to extinction quite early on, simply because they are more of a threat than an aid.

Sorry for that rant, if people have suggestions for imagined (but quasi-realistic) creatures, feel free to submit them.

Music Ideas -
If anyone has any ideas for the music, bearing in mind that we will need a writer for said music, I'd love to hear them!

Here are some of mine:

Classical & Choral - mainly for the factions of the Western Continent.

Drums for the Seaborne?

Not sure what for the others, if people know of exotic instruments it would be possible to access or emulate I would be fascinated to hear of them.
