Horde:Total War

Wooowy great mate

Aha, now I see what the Horde: TW is that you spoke of!

Sounds like an interesting scenario. I take it your "Horde" will be using the Viking slot?

A couple of ideas for you: the Picts were known as the Cruithne (though no-one knows what they called themselves...); some other major tribes (that I used in my long-lost Britannia 43AD mod):

* Corieltauvi - Mercia, Middle Engel, Dere (with a hero called "Macsen" )
* Ordovicii - north Wales
* Silurii - south Wales
* Atrabates - Wessex etc
* Iceni - East Engel
* Dumnonii - Devon & Cornwall
* Brigantes - Cumbri, Elmete, Beornice and the other one up there

but I can't honestly remember what I did for the Scots - unless it was Caledonii - or the Irish. The Corieltauvi and Atrabates would be Romanised, as I guess the Iceni would be for your time frame, but the Ordovicii, Silurii and Dumnonii would be your basic barbarian barbarians

And feel free to use the hillfort and cliff fort maps from Ancient TW, btw, they'd be ideal for the era

Good luck and happy modding.

Heyall, just a little update. I sadly wasn't able to get any work done yesterday because of a paper/project , but after about seven hours or so I finished it yesterday. So today i had plenty of time to mod!

I am inching ever closer and closer to releasing the beta. Just got a couple of more things to do, which hopefully shouldn't take me to long, but who knows.

Anyways I am just about done with the Campaign map, only real things left are placing units/buildings, a few minor tweaks,maybe some economic and trade item stuff (will do most work on this after the first release) and portraits (which i will do after the beta is out, so don't be suprised if you see Romans with muslim portraits )

I have the final factions list and their corrosponding "culture":
Brigantes - Civilized Barbarian Faction
Corieltauvi - Civilized Barbarian Faction
Cruithne - Barbarian Faction
Romans - Roman Faction
Iceni - Civilized Barbarian Faction
Horde - Barbarian Faction
Ordovicii - Barbarian Factrion
Northeners - Barbarian Faction
Ulster - Hibernian Faction
Munster - Hibernian Faction
Silurii - Barbarian Faction
Irish (only faction lefy to change) - Hibernian Faction
Connacht - Hibernian Faction
Each nation/tribe already has thier proper scripted AI based on the historical actions they most likely would have taken in this time period.
The only religious distinction between any of the groups is between the Pagan Romans and Catholic Romans, and this only affects the region percentages.

Units:
For the first beta I will have a limited number of Buildings done. Unit wise I will have all or almost all of the Roman units ready to go for the first beta, all or almost all of the Hordes units, and all the general units for the other nations, i.e those for barbarians and civilized barbarians without each nations unique units.

Alright well i sure i had some other info I was going to share but i don't remember at the moment, so thats all for now.

Oh thats it, I forgot to say thanks mascen, those faction names and locations definitely came in handy. Remember i'm here to help if you ever need it for your bronze age mod.
