MTW Ultimate mod- new project ideas... come and let's talk together

[Ludens]

Well, it would be better to change plans and go to MTW2 making a mod with MTW1 style, units, features and gameplay. MTW2 is vastly more easy to mod with less hardcoding imho

As I read there MTW1 has a lot of annoying limits, don't know what the others can suggest me i will wait leith and other users replies about that

That's probably the best solution. M:TW1 is a great game, but does not allow much to be modified. M2:TW is much more flexible.

I tought about it and I decided... I will go to MTW2 i will call it "regnum opus dei" and it's a conversion of MTW in the MTW2 engine and graphics



That's it then!


I haven't any experience on modding, could someone help me possibly? Where we should start? I really want to learn but don't know where to start, I will use MTW2 and make gameplay, atmosphere and art style like MTW1

Hello, dearie! I wish you luck on your project. As for modding, there are many guides on this forum for most if not all the Total War games. Good luck!

A good place to start would be our M2:TW Learn to Mod forum. That's where you will find our guides. I hope you find what you are looking for. If you need someone to ask questions to - I am afraid our fora are very quiet these days, but you'll likely find help over at the Total War Center.

Also, if I may: what you are planning is very ambitious. It's a total conversion of M2:TW to M1:TW. Transferring music and some of the art won't be that hard; but converting the campaign will take significant time. Most work, however, will probably go into recreating all M1:TW units in M2:TW. I don't know how flexible the M2:TW unit graphics are - but if you want unique units, it will take multiple years for a single person.

So I recommend that you start with something smaller and more manageable - to avoid getting overwhelmed by the amount of work it takes to create a total conversion.

Thank you guys for the support :)
