Calormenes also worshipped Zardeenah, lady of the night. She was goddess of virgins and darkness.

I did mention this in the earlier thread in the forge before this forum was opened:

I'm not sure how you would impliment Aslan the Lion in a TW game. If he is placed as the initial faction leader of the Narnian faction, he will eventually die, which would be wrong. It is not really feasible to create a uinique unit of Aslan for a game such as this. At the end of the day the Narnian Kings (humans) will be your faction leaders, so where does Aslan fit in? Personally I think Aslan is basically the Narnians' god, in the way that Tash is the Calmormenes' god. I would say that Aslan could be implemented as the diety for the Narnians, with Shrines of Aslan (pagan looking structures to fit in with the "silvan" theme of the Narnian faction - such as the stone table), and large statues of him inside your settlements, but he should never appear in person. For Tash, Azaroth and Zardeenah (Calormene dieties), larger ornate temples of the eastern type would be more suitable. The Tisroc could also have retinues of a Priest of Tash etc etc, the Narnians would probably not have such retinues. Unit's of lions would be viable units as there was another Lion in the LWW.

Do you have any other ideas as to the implementation of the Calormene deities? I'm thinking temples alone, and perhaps a great temple as a wonder or two.

Aslan in historical battles would be less problematic, but IMHO would not make for particularly interesting engagements.

[Ossie The Great]

Erm . I am not to good with my english so I would need to know what implementation ment before i can answer.

and post about a Colormen temple as a wonder in the wonders thered for i think it is an exellent idea

[Jubal_Barca]

Implementation just means ways to use them in game.

[Ossie The Great]

Ok . I am planning on only having the colormen deities as temples

[Jubal_Barca]

Calormene priests as a possible unit?

Thanks. yes Like Julbal_Barca said Calormene Priests ( of tash ) ar a possible unit

hi guys
i was just wondering what about knights , i mean they did had peter and his brother edmund knighted in the movie
peter was a mounted knight
edmund was a foot knight

so wont we be having them?

[Roman_Man#3]

Those could be the generals, they were the only ones armed in such a way. and we are also basing the mod off of the books, not the movie.

[Ossie The Great]

Like Roman_Man#3 said we are doing the mod on the books and not on the film .
So i am not sure knights are very acurate

Calormene priests as a possible unit?

I would avoid that. The Calormene priests would not have been warriors. They would be more at home sitting around eating and drinking wine. There is no way they'd risk their necks on the battlefield. There is never any mention of them in the books, so I would exclude them. As I've said before, the druids chanting / women screeching ability would be good for the Imperial Narnian Hags.

[Roman_Man#3]

For the Hags, maybe we could get someone to record screaming wildly, and then put it in for the ability.

thinking about it, i agree that Calormene priests would not fight.

Hags are defiantly going to be in the game.

That can be arranged.......

[Roman_Man#3]

Are you implying that you could do it?

Hi
that would be great if you could

[Murfios]

Make the giants not so giant. Lets say like this: The medium size one is my suggestion....
(smallest one is an average human)
Being too big will make the game look weird and imposible to kill them.

[Ossie The Great]

Yes. i totaly agree with making the giants not to big

for as u said it would look rubish if they were too big

[alexander_323]

guys what about formations , what kind of unit formations will we be having?

coz ours is a completely different theme
i suggest the following

1> loose formations for the animals
2> wedge for the centaurs ( as in the movie)
3> phalanx for the elite guards

rest m not able to think but the point is we have not even thought of formations , we must have a few new ones matching our units

[Ossie The Great]

Yes, I agree, but we need to do a couple more models before we can start to think of units formations

[King_Numero]

No phalanx formation. It wouldn't make sense for them to be in a phalanx formation.

Can't we invent our own formations?

I have never tried making my own formation but i think it is possible ( i would have to have that confiremed ) If we did though that would help loads

You know this looks like a good size differential between giants (tallest), humanoids (medium) and dwarves (smallest). If you look at Pauline Baynes' illustrations from the books this is about the size difference between the races.

You might want to find a guy named Darth Vader. He's done custom formations on several mods including his own.

[Ossie The Great]

Hi
King Numero Could u try and find a thread that Darth Vader has posted in then post a link here

[King_Numero]

Here's the link to his mod.

Thanks

Hmm, what exactly do people mean by "formations" at this point. Special abilities (phalanx, testudo, wedge ect.) cannot be modded, but what darth vader has done is mod how the AI deploys its units at the start of a battle (thus effecting the entire course of the battle). This is fairly easy to do if you know how (which I don't). The third possible meaning of formation, is the spacing between units in a formation, and this is a simple mater of changing a few values in the edu. Hope this clears things up a bit.

Yes, as darth vader has not got back to me i will have to learn how to create formations , anyway it is an area in which i have never modded before so if anyone finds any tuorials on it that will be great .

and it is this formation i want to learn how to do

You could try asking Thorlof.
