The Warhammer Campaign

[Revan-Shan]

Well, I love Warhammer and i I know a lot. That's why I want to open this topic.

Known that I'll tell you what is this topic about. Well, since the mod team is working in the units I would like to settle down what the campaign is gonna be. The landscape, the provinces, general features, names to be used for generals, new buildings... etc. By the way, the things we talk about here should be just a guide for the campaign as the last yes is from Bwian and the team. Lets start...

This is the entire warhammer world map and its provinces:

Just a personal preference: I would like to see a few more provinces.
It gives you a bit more to fight over, it makes it harder to wipe out a faction, and it gives each campaign a bit more longevity.
Or isn´t this the map that will be used in the actual campaign?

Totally true, this is a first map. I supose the actual campaign will have more provinces. But I have read or have been told that the map will have this look:

Good topic. lists containing character name for all the factions would be especially useful. if they could be written using this format, it would be almost perfect:

{Wind_Breaker}Wind Breaker
{Axebitten}Axebitten
{Rattlebone}Rattlebone
{Big_Axe}Big Axe
{Half_Ear}Half Ear
{Four_Fingers}Four Fingers

(those are names from order vs.chaos )


Use of that intro is a definite no-go. Dont get me wrong. It's contains nice graphics from many good warhammer games, and it's nicely edited, but it is comprised solely of copyrighted material. So unless we can get the permission from the respectable companies that own the rights to them (unlikely) the intro can't be used. instead the intro will have to be made up of in-game graphics.

Two things.

-I will post names and surnames not names with surnames. If you want I can put them together so that they are real imperial counts fron Karl Franz's time. Will that be of help?

-About the video, we arent making money out of it so I't won't be dangerous to do it. And having this mod doesn't change the amount of people who buy Mark of Chaos. I have the game and also I would like to help and play this mod. I wouldn't say it's a problem.

I'm afraid yes, it IS a problem. The video and the music is not to be spread for free around the internet, just like you can't upload a real movie, or a musical album, for example. You've got some talent on editing movies, but I'd recommend, for this mod, and your sake, that you do an ingame intro movie. That way, you won't risk anything.

Even if it's legal to use this stuff, I doubt that any self-respecting modder would be content to simply recycle things from other games for his mod... especially videos. You can take a movie and music from one game and rearrange it all you want, but still, knowing that you're actually the one who made that something and polished it to death is very, very different.

The setting may be the same, the characters, ideas, etc... but as for the actual work that gets seen and heard, I think most modders would prefer those things to be of his own creation (or at least, he has gotten the permission for use in his mod ).

Example, in Fourth Age: Total War, the videos are comprised of fully ingame shots and the music is also original and lended to the team by their composers. Example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo-kLi-KWQ8.

It's not Pixar-level or something... but it's original, and any good modder I think would prefer something like that over anything that looks nicer but is not of his creation. I think that's the kind of mod Bwian and his team aim for in Warhammer TW.

NOTE: Just my two cents.

[Bwian]

Any videos we have in game will be done using in game models only.

Crian is quite right .... any use of other games material is STRICTLY forbidden. I can include the Warhammer MMO video in my mod in no time at all. Probably less time that it would take for GW to ask their Lawyer to issue a cease and desist order and close the mod.

USE OF COPYRIGHT MATERIAL IN THIS MOD WILL NOT HAPPEN.

Not only is it a legal no-no ... we also don't need it!

[A Norseman]

Some light over the situaton .. The High/dark elfs are better than most races in most aspects.. Their basic infantry is far superior to most others, their elite infantry Are also realy good compared to the "Normal" factions(swordmasters :S)
Their archers are superb (One of the best in game)
Their cavalry are at hight with the knights of brettonia and Empire (dragon princes/Cold one Knights) Their Artillery are somewhat medicore, but not at all weak, but their monsters are the most powerfull and numerus of any nation (dragons, griffons, eagles, hydras, maticores, pegasus, harpies, white lions)

The elf commanders are skilled and powerfull, both in combat, archery and leadership. And lastly, their magic is only inferior to the slanns (teclis:D) All this skill comes at a price however, The elfs only real weakness is their high point cost (and a overall toughness of 3), So a army of elfs shuld be expensive to keep and raise.

Some frases (the ones that appear when the game is loading):


War is more hopeless each year. - Hieronymus of Nuln

Know that under my will and my steel all your overcautious nations will succumb. - Archaon, Lord of The End of Time

We'll fight them with our steel, with our bravery, but, above all, with our faith in Sigmar! - Emperor Magnus

Kill them, kill them all. - Malekith after apprehending Eltharion

Rise, oh Dead!, as there can be no rest for you underground. - Spell of the Death

Fight-fight! They'll die easily. - Kreesqueek, skaven master assasin, before being killed by Rametep, a non dead monster
