    Arthurian : Total War is a mod project I have, based on Barbarian Invasions xpack.

    Action will take place during Britain dark ages, in Britain and in Northern Gaul. I have choose 481 AD for the starting date, and it will end in the VIIIth or late VIIth century.

    Featured region :



    For this time I have choosed those factions :
    - 11 Britons factions, like Domnonia, Gododdin, Gwynedd or Rheged...
    - 3 Irish factions, Dal Riada, Mumainha and the Ui Neills
    - the Picts
    - 3 Anglo-Saxons factions : Saxons, Angles and Juts.
    - the Franks

    COMPLETE FACTION LIST :

    Another map I have made (continental provinces not showned) :



    COMPLETE PROVINCES LIST :
    https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...8&postcount=43

    Britons will have very good units and an extended territory but will have to fight on every fronts : rebels kingdoms, Scots of Dal Riada, Picts, Angles, and Saxons.
    If you choose Domnonia, you can own Arthur at the beginning of the game (there is no historical evidence but Arthur might have be from Domnonia, and became Amherawdyr 'Imperator' of Britain, or High-King, a successor of the romans governors).
    The north Britons will got strong warlords like Urien Rheged, Rydderch Hael of Strathclyde, or Maelgwn Gwynned.
    But Saxons will have Cerdic and Scots Aedan mac Gabran.

    So Britons will have strong cavalry, romans-like soldiers, and 'Clan Warriors'.
    Germans will got a powerful infantry, berserkers and axemen.
    Picts will got terribles warriors, with not a good defense but very strong attack, and will be experts at ambush.
    Irish will got tribal warriors, lancers, and a lot of javelinemen.

    COMPLETE UNIT LIST :
    https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...0&postcount=86

    Fortress will be hillforts, roman cities, etc...

    MOD PROGRESS :
    We have done a lot in historic researchment.
    Faction research : we got 20 factions, factions descriptions are to done.
    Symbol research : we got symbol ideas, but none are done yet.
    Units research : we have done a lot of Britons units. We need help to find some ideas (historically accurate if possible) for AoR/unique units for the Britons, for more saxons and pictish units, for franks and wisigoths units, and to complete all of our descriptions.
    Skinning/Modeling : we need skinners and modelers.
    Mapping : map_heights is done.
    Codding/texting : none is done.

    So if it interest you and if you have not mod project for this summer and/or this autumn please told me

    WE ARE RECRUITING MODDERS, ESPECIALLY SKINNERS AND MODELERS !

    Our team :
    Agraes : project leader, historical research, maybe latter codding.
    Ian : historical research, maybe latter codding and mapping.
    Ranika : historical research
    Thrashaholic : historical research

    sounds good, read bernard Cornwell's warlord chronicles, its about arthur and is actually very historical, I could help with history, i'm like that.
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

I have no modding abilities but if theres anyway you feel i can help let me know although you seem to have the historical research fairly well done. Just to let you know i am anout to graduate with a degree in Ancient and Medieval history. Dne a bit of work on Welsh history and also the roman occupation etc

    Well, I got a good knownledge of the V and VIth Britain (and Britanny) and I have a lot of book to read this summer

    But if we are several working on gathering informations the mod will be better

    And if somebody is a specialist of Picts, Irish, or Saxons in the darkages it will be very interesting for me.

    I have also read Warriors Chronicles, very good novels ! If only the last movie on Arthur have take a such scenario...

    Yes, I had to tell you that there wouldn't be any sarmatian warriors in this mod ! May be sarmatian's inspired cavalry, with their particular spear, and bowmen with composite bow.

    about the map, extend the dal radia's holdings a little north, i believe they held land to the north of the isle of skye.
    i would like to help you in any way i can (even if you are a heathen frenchman ) doing reserch of the military of that period etc... and i can do very basic text editing(changing the names of factions and whatnot)

    Well the map wasn't made for the mod but for my article on Arthur

    So, I have just post few hours ago and there is a several enthusiastic people that have answered me, I think that we can begun with the faction and unit discussion

    (even if you are a heathen frenchman )
    Yeah I am
    But remembers the Llydaw's Blackshields if you have read the Armes Prydein Vawr from the Book of Taliesin

    Llydaw = Letavia = Britanny
