PMTW 2 - the mod for MTW 2

[cegorach]

All right guys I have closed the old RTW thread, because we won't use RTW for the next edition of PMTW anyway.

This new thread will be used to define the new edition before the release of MTW 2.

Things like what factions should be added will be discussed here.

For now let us assume that only 21 factions can be used including rebels.


Another thing is the starting date and the size of the map.


I am in favour of a new proposal from NTW forum - to expand the map to reach middle India and central Asia, I persoanlly would like to have a part of America as well.

So I propose the following:

Starting date - 1572 - the new twist in French religious wars, just after the Lublin union in Poland, at that time Dutch rebellion was pretty strong as well.

Map size - from Mexico to central India.

Factions

1.Scotland,

2.England,

3. Spain

4.France,

5.Hugenots,

6.the Dutch,

7. Danemark,

8.Sweden,

9.Protestant alliance ( protestant german states),

10.Hapsburg Empire ( includes southern catholic german states),

11. Venice,

12. Italian states - Genoa, Florence etc put together,

13. The Ottoman Empire,

14.Transylvania,

15. Poland-Lithuania,

16. Russia,

17.The Crimean Tatars,

18.Persia,

19.Uzbek Khorde,

20. Moghul India

21 - rebels

I hope that a larger number of factions can be added this way we could place:

- Circassia,

- Moldavia/Wallachia,

- split protestant german states into Saxony, Brandenburg and something else,

- take Bavaria from Hapsbugh controll,

- split italian states as well

- Portugal,

- maybe add some early Cossacks

+ maybe something completely different - Barbary Coast, Iroquis etc.

30 factions would be quite enough.

I think that this idea is quite good, overall and by settin the starting date for 1572 we would avoid adding too many medieval-like units as well - more space for even more detailed army lists for the factions. mercenaries ans rebells.


Now your proposals.

I looks good Ceg but I am afraid the map woud be too big. If it does not lag it is ok, but if it really is too big I think you shall make one campaign for America and one for Europa/Asia.

Just my 2 cents...

P.s. You can't imagine how happy I am that you will make this mod wor MTW 2. Fills my heart with joy!

Persia! Sweet!
Depending on how big the map is, we could include the Mughals and maybe Transoxia. Meaning we could simulate russian eastern expansion, Portugese, French and Portugese expansion overseas and even African nations.

Yeap,everything sounds fine,but who`s gonna do all that stuff
Well I` think We need to wait for M2TW release to see how the basic campaign map looks like.If it`s to big -Radier gave here splendid idea:)
Starting date seems to be reconsidered!
P.S.This "Rome"serial is stunning.At last Total Realism!

[cegorach]

Don't worry about the size of the map - EB team expanded RTW map enormously and it is not the maximum size, I believe.

If you need historical research I might be able to help you with Circassia, Scots, Mughal and Ottomans.

Seems like:

It will be quite abit different than the original one (which is not actually a bad thing.)

We might lose some detail as there will be more factions, (more factions + less attention to each individual faction) and early versions might lack abit of content in some nations because of this.

1572: Hmm how about reconsidering the end date also than ?

1715: or something... ?

I am quite excited (Saying quite not very because there is a looong looooong way to goooo since TWII .)

All Heil, Pike&Musket 2 !
