Mediæval Fidelity
Oaths and Vassals
With Rome: Total War it was Europa Barbororum and RTR, with Medieval: Total War II it is Mediæval Auctoriso, MTR, and now Mediæval Fidelity.
To be honest, Rome: Total War had its historical flaws. Although Burning pigs and Egyptian units that were out of place can be fun, sometimes, historical accuracy improves the experience. Without attacking CA, it seems that Medieval: Total War II will have similar problems, and this is where Mediæval Fidelity comes in.
Mediæval Fidelity aims to create a historically accurate game, with an improved gameplay experience, with special attention being paid to the feudal aspect of the Middle Ages.
Of course, as Medieval: Total War II will not be released for several months yet, this mod will be based upon research and various ideas, depending on the capabilites of the game engine.
I also would like to wish good luck to the teams of MTR and Mediæval Auctoriso.
The mod will need a dedicated team consisting of:
Researchers
This job would require the individual to concentrate on a particular area of research set by the team leader (Me) and other members of the group. Their area’s of research would range from what countries owned what, what troops fought for who and so on. Basically it is broad, nobody would be stuck doing the same thing all the time, ideally we could set somebody an entire country to research which means they could research all sorts from troops, buildings, borders of the realm and so on.
Graphics Artists
Historical accuracy will also need to be portrayed in the look of units, building and so on. Skinners and general menu artists are required, though the majority of their time now would be helping in research, making preliminary sketches and working with those researching area’s specific to the visual atmosphere we hope to portray. Modding projects such as this live and die for those with graphical talents, and as such would be important to get on board early.
The Team

P.S. I have based this post on the Mediæval Auctoriso introduction. The "Researchers" and "Graphic Artists" paragraphs are by NagatsukaShumi. I apologize if I have offended any of the Mediæval Auctoriso team.
