    Default A greek mod for medieval 2...anybody interested?

    Hi there,

    As you may have already known, i have decided to halt mediterranean total war until medieval 2 is released.

    I would like to take this opportunity to announce a greek era mod for medieval 2. I plan it to be based around the mediterranean, and i want it not really going northwards into places like Gual, as i would like a game based on the main powers of the time period- persia, the greek states, the ertruscans, samnites, carthage, and of course, rome.
    I think i will change the name as 'mediterranean' sounds a bit dull :original:

    This game will be PERFECT for a greek mod, as troops in the unit are different. FINALLY, hoplites can look different and have different shield designs and whatnot like they ought to.

    I think, because of the timeline for medieval 2, that this can be a mod spanning over 500 years, like M2 is promised to be. Therefore, I think a good starting date for the mod is around the time of the persian wars, lasting hopefully to imperial rome.

    The map for the game, idealy, would go from iberia, across to the indian subcontinent, and be very large. I dont know how the campaign will work in M2 so im only guessing.

    Now i know Promethus has announced a rome mod for M2, and this too would need an overhaul of the buildings. I would ask that if these mods get bigger that both mods would equally contribute to greek and roman buildings for all- its nicer to work together for things like this.

    The factions also are dependant on the hardcoded limits of M2. also, with the campaign being uncertain, we can only guess to how many factions we can have.

    I think as some 'core' factions would be as follows;

    Sparta
    Athens
    Persia
    Corinth
    Macedon
    The boeotian league
    the Ionian League
    Thessaly
    Syracuse
    Carthage
    Roma
    Etruria
    The samnites.

    This is only a plan though.

    I would like to ask for anybody considering modding Medieval 2 to join up, or just say 'ill think about it'

    This would be a perfect mod IMO, and would be amazing. This is only in research stages, and the progress depends entirely if Medieval 2 is moddable enough.

    Please post any suggestions, or if you would consider joining when Medieval is released :original:

    Regards
    Lentonius

    (p.s- to moderators- i wasnt sure where to post this so srr if its in the wrong forum )

    If it a hegemonia-type; pre Rome. Pelopponesian War timeframe, + or - 100 years.

    Hegemonia is probably my most anticipated mod right now.

    ...for RTW.

    Lentonius, you should follow the example of MTR and start making sketches and planning.

    Well, at this stage we really are not sure- i presume it will be just as moddable as RTW now, but it is really a case of finding out once it is released.
