The Saxons Redemption

[Dragon Tex]

With the death of the Saxon King, Harold, in 1066 at the hands of the Normans, and the defeat of their forces, the Saxons where forced to retreat to the sea and settle in Oslo. Once established, Edmund took the throne. News arrived later that his younger brother was killed by Prince Rufus, which sparked a vengeance so deep, Edmund asked for help from the French. The French were more concerned at getting the Normans, now England, out of France and were unable to send aid. They did however send information on training Lancers, their most powerful Calvary.

Without the support of the Pope, the Saxons have once again taken to their Pagan ways.

Version History:

v0.2a
-Fixed textures for the Saxons, no longer using England textures
-Retextured unit icons, no longer using England icons
-Saxons accent is now East European, so you shouldn't here them say "For England"
-Changed Denmark and Milan to Pagan, didn't want the Saxons the only Pagans ;P
-Moved Saxons out of the British Isle and moved them to Oslo, redid campaign description to reflect.
-Changed year of death for Harold and Godwine, age for Edmund, gave Edmund a wife and four kids. Got tired of having the adoption thing keep poping up.
-Added more recruitment slots.

v0.2
-Added icons for the Pagan Churches so they won't have the generic icons
-Fixed year of death on Harold and Godwine. Was getting an error in the log "Script Error in Saxons_Redemption/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/descr_strat.txt, at line 2734, column 57
Harold has no death time specified" Their Year of Death was 0 AD, it should read now 1079 AD


v0.1b
-Changed export_descr_buildings, had Saxons assigned to High Temple as well
-Changed descry_sm_faction, forgot that I had changed a few of the factions to Pagan and Orthodox. Moved them back to their original religion

v0.1a
-Fixed export_descr_buildings, had to many recrutement slots when I was testing
-Changed the win conditions for the saxons


v0.1
-Makes the Saxons Playable
-Changed the Saxons Religion to Pagan
-Added Pagan Churchs (Thanks to Gundug)
-Gave the Saxons the ability to recruit Lancers
-Add factions able to recruit Generals/Bodyguards

And everyone else who made the programs I used to convert some of the files so I could edit them.
If I left out anyone I would like to say sorry now.


Well I'm very new to the modding world for M2TW but I took a stab at it!

I saw this tutorial on adding the Saxons back into the game so I figured someone did it and had it for download. But I couldn't find anything. Well after reading and reading and seeing some people having problems I desided to give it a go. After a few week and having to get some Rogain after pulling all my hair out I finally have something that I'm proud of.

Now, I'm not big on coming up with stories to that sort so please don't laugh when you see the Saxons Discription . The Saxons are pretty much a mirror to the English with a few exceptions. I gave the Saxons the ability to recruit Lancers, which belong to France. I've also enabled the recruitment of Generals (Thanks to the creator, King Kong I believe, of SS) after looking in Stainless Steel. I've also have the Early Generals Mod, by plasticfigurine, in with my mod as well.


One more note:
This is just like the vanillia campagn. Eventually I'll be able to make moddification later when I know more. Right now I'm in the "craw" phase. If anyone would like to add to this, by all means, we all have to start somewhere!

Please enjoy!

Are they just all re-designed english units?

[Axe-Battler]

looks pretty cool, what about making the map smaller to show only the english isles and france?

For the most part I guess, they didn't have much for units so I just figured to use the English since they were in the same area. Some of them are HRE as well because they have some of the same units. Haven't made it that far as to creating my own models.

Still learning! I'm in my crawl phase right now. I hope to be walking soon, and who's knows, I might be able to run eventually!

[Gundug]

I'm liking the work you have done so far! I agree with Ramtha, eventually making a reduced map, but with more local provinces, would be a good idea, since the focus seems much less general than the default campaign. Mapping is pretty involved though, so for now, probably the best idea is to focus on making everything else perfect. I could also see possibly making the other factions unplayable, so players just concentrate on the one storyline.

The pagan church building tree is looking good. I hope you can get some cool pagan style images for the buildings. Barbarian Invasion would be a good source. You could get some ideas for building descriptions from there as well.

[Greyfeather]

I'm liking this, looks very good, even despite the untextured (Or at least I think they are... my computer needs fixing, can't play M2:TW right now) units and unit cards.

[Dragon Tex]

I'm currently redoing the textures at the moment. Later on, this mod will be combined with another when we finish everything.

[The Vandal Returns]

cool, great work +rep

[Dragon Tex]

Everything is fixed as far as the textures and unit cards. I will upload the next version soon. After this version, the next update will be with another mod that adds Ireland, Welsh, and one other.

[Dragon Tex]

Updated...

See version history for fixes.


Please let me know if there are any problems with the accents. Might have to copy the other sound files over, if that's the case, do not copy over the audio.dat, audio.idx, events.dat, or events.idx

Are there any instructions on how to install the mod?

Sorry so long for a reply.

It's should install directly to your M2TW folder because it's an exe file. Just double click and let it run! It will not overwrite any of your origianl files if you let it install into the default dir.

It looks as though it was deleted. I will upload again once I get home and PM you. Sorry, don't know how it was deleted

[Kennir]

I'm kinda hungering for this mod, is anything happening? The download won't work..

[Methoz]

yeah...download are dead

[Ged]

When will the download be up? 'Cos I really really want to play this.

P.S. Want any help in this mod?

[Dunk]

Is there anywhere to download this from. I've been trying and trying to get an Anglo-Saxon mod done for ages but had absolutely no luck. It sounds fantastic.

[Edward the Bear]

Still won't download.

[Dragon Tex]

First off, sorry for the long break. My wife passed away at the begining of Sep 07 so I stopped doing everything. I'm back and will continue to refine everything. It took awhile to find my latest mod on this. It is still currently the v0.2a version and is back up. I have bought a new computer so I need to download all the programs again to edit everything. I also have to do a crash course to try to learn how to do this again. Please, any feedback will be helpful.
