A 100 years war mod. It sounds interesting.

I do not have much experience at modding.

If you can find something for me to do, I give will it ago.

[kreig]

great i never thought anyone would be intrested, If you are intrested in doing this mod, tell us here

[kreig]

if both you guys are intrested that would be really kool

[The_Doctor]

Yeah, I am interested.

But, I don't know what I could do.

Research, changing some of the .txt files.

I think there is a map editor, if there is I could give that a try.

[ShadesWolf]

I already have a modding Forum that we could use, as well as a website that could host the mod

[kreig]

ok, just tell me what you can do
I cant do that much tbh
Basic Skinning
Historical Research
Campaign Map
Historical Battles
Website design

Skinning and campaign are basic

The forum and the site u mentioned would be good

[ShadesWolf]

I can do


- Historical Research (Its my favourite period and I have a website dedicated to it)
- Historical Battles (cant be to hard)
- Website design

I can skin, but it is very basic.

I think anybody can do research.

I can edit a map (change provinces, armies, etc), but I cannot make a new map. As I said before, I think there is a campaign map editor.

I got an A in website design in the course (ICT AVCE) I am doing at college.

great, ill be back on tommorow morning
Ill talk to you then
Meanwhile
anyone else want to join the team now at 3 people
Just post here

[ShadesWolf]

The period is quite a simple one to cover.

We will need to decide if we want to cover the whole period, a single period or split it down into smaller chunks.

We then need to agree on how wide the campaign will be, this will dictate what factions are included

ie
England
Scotland
France
burgundy
Flanders
spain
Britany
Swiss
etc....

[kreig]

What do you recon is best

[ShadesWolf]

I will sleep on it and let you know tomorrow

[Lord Adherbal]

don't wanna be disencouraging, but why is it people start mods of time periods that are already covered by another mod ? How big do you think the chances are that you will find modellers willing to join your mod and not the already half-finished ChivalryTW ?

[ShadesWolf]

If there are any models availalbe that we can use for other mod that would be great.

This is a specific time frame covering a specific type of unit group. Therefore, I feel that the models/ skins will be quite different in the main to ChivTW

If we cant get any skinners/ Model people then the mod probably will not be abale to go ahead, but the units are only a small part of this mod.

It will be the campaign element that will bring this into its own, witht he fight between England and France for the comtrol of the French, mainland.

This is include, maybe,

- The Burgundian Wars with Switzerland
- The England campaigns against Scotland
- The Brittany campaigns
- It may move to include Italian campaigns

As all these areas are covered by the time frame and will benifit from a unique new campaign map covering the area.

[kreig]

exactly, I was also thinking we could have the irish as Mercanary's

[The_Ferret]

I'm interested.

Did the Wars of the roses start near the end of the HYW. We could have England spilt into the King(senate) and York and Lancaster. Later on in the game they can start a civil war.

[kreig]

thats a really good idea, nice one

Im not sure historically we will need to ask shades

[Nigel]

Adherbal, ShadesWolf,

I hope you two don't see your two mods as competitors.
I think that instead they could really benefit from each other. I love what Adherbal and his team have done for ChivTW so far and are still doing. But I also like the idea of a smaller capmaign - or perhaps several smaller campaigns in the HYW period.

A full campaign as it is now, all of Europe, always seemed quite a drag to conquer to me. The thought of a smaller one, which can be won before the tedium of the end-game sets in, is quite attractive.

[King Ragnar]

ill be willing to help with some research if u need it

[kreig]

yeah, please do help
We need all the help we can get
we should have our own forum up later on.
We could do with some information on the units, like some concept pics, there may be some on the net

I consider every other mod as competition, and I think a competitive spirit will only lead to a higher standard of mods. That doesnt mean I gonna sabotage other people's work or won't praise their work tho :)

I just think there are way too many mods being launched that - sorry to be harsh - don't stand a chance because the theme is too obscure or unoriginal, and more importantly because all the "serious" modders/modellers are probably already involved in some modding project. Too many mods with too few modellers isn't good for the modding community.

That's the last I'll say about this (unless someone forces me to reply again), feel free to prove me wrong and turn this mod idea into a beautiful RTW mod :)

[GaugamelaTC]

Love the idea! Remember there are 21 factions, so if you don't filla ll of them up you could have the Irish as a faction.

[Isaacdaninja]

Sounds great. Joan of Ark: Total War is not quite the right name for it though because you can't have a whole Mod on one person.

Is the campaign map going to be just England and France?

[Duke Malcolm]

A Hundred Years' War mod? I would be willing to help in whatever way I can (except modelling, my 3ds max doesn't like me...).

If you have Scotland as a faction, I can certainly help there.

[kreig]

great, we will almost certainly have scotland
please do help

[King Ragnar]

is the final name goin to be joan of arc:total war?
