Dude, think about preparation and presentation.

[wlesmana]

Be prepared to have no life outside of modding for the next two years. Otherwise, don't even bother.

[Dol Guldur]

Wlesmana's two years would of course assume a fully skilled modder at the helm too. Personally, if you aim to make such a mod with declining interest in RTW modding and with such cultures so far from vanilla and so diverse in and of themselves, you are looking at a great deal longer.

Aim for (at the very most) 5 factions and maybe 2 cultures, and make the map very small (less than 40 regions) and aim at modding only a certain strata of the game - for example, do not aim to mod the battlemap and the stratmap but do one before the other (or do not do one at all if you can use vanilla).

Making a non-campaign mod (like NTW2) might be a idea for example.

Modding is extremely time consuming and all quality mods probably (though they might not admit it) have someone working as many (or more) hours on it as many work at their job or in school.

I give this as friendly advice, not as discouragement.

[shadowbot66]
