    During that time period, there just weren't all that many interactions between the Georgian kingdom and any of the Russian ones, however large, important or glorious the Georgian kingdom was in its own right.

    So a better question would be "where is Bulgar" or "where is Lithuania" - questions which bother us a lot more.


    P.S. And there is enough strife and emotions in real life in the region without bringing it needlessly into the game as well.

    Some very original mods are being developed these days, mods like “For King or Country - The English civil war”, “1066: Conquest”, “Blood, Broads and Bastards” and probably others. Mods based on ideas and concepts which don’t always correspond to the principles behind Total War.

    The first thing that differentiates these mods is their tie to a national history – modders dedicate their efforts to the pages of their own history. Their goal is a historically accurate mod, and trying to reach it leads to a couple of things: less fractions, more accurate maps, changing turns/year (like 12 turns per year) and a detailed reworking of character traits and historical events. All this could be called “realism”, but accented on the socio-economic part of the game, the strategic part, rather than the war –the tactical- part. The “economic” component is lacking a bit, true, but this is something that they will (hopefully) correct.

    We’ve used a couple of these ideas in our mod, Rusichi, and the resulting game-play was different and no less interesting. “Pretty” units, as good as they are, sort of take a back seat in this respect.

    I have a question to this community of modders and gamers: maybe the time has come for formulating a fresh set of principles for creating future mods, principles that will change their their setting and story flow? Shouldn’t we cooperate (I’m talking about the innovate mods mentioned above and their developers, the stars of TWC - AlphaDelta, GrnEyedDvl, Lusted, KnightErrant and others) in creating a set of fundamental scripts - exactly like the 12 turns/year script – on which future mods of this type will be based? There is definitely work to be done in this direction, there aren’t enough of these fundamental scripts. We have some ideas in developing this direction. There is, of course, a rather large barrier – the national history of a mod; not every Englishman will wish to play a mod about Russia and vice-versa. But if a mod developer uses the full potential of the awesome MTW2 engine, vast infinite-seeming potential, and can actually balance the changes with game-play; I think the resulting mod would be interesting enough that all national boundaries would be erased.

    We’re already planning to discuss our future second installment based on this self-dubbed “
    Total World Realism” concept. It’ll be a mod about Russian history with radically different game conditions. Some ideas will be announced soon.

Then there's this beautiful 'personalizing' touch with every guy wearing a different style of metal or cloth armor.

    Really cool stuff.
    That's a really interesting point, actually.

    13th century russian vs. european armor wasn't actually all that different constructively (though styling was different) - mostly mail with maybe a difference in that scale armor was more popular in europe vs. lamellar for Rus'.

    Still, you can see, I think, the begining of the evolution that in europe lead to the classic "knight in shining armor" full-plate. The Great Helm is a great example of this.

    I think that the differences, especially late-era ones, stem from the fact battles were fought in very different terrain and circumstances. European wars were much less mobile. Lots of sieges and smaller distances. Russian wars, especially in the south, were mostly fought against nomadic horse tribes like the Mongols or Cumans. Huge distances, horseback fighting required much greater mobility - and hence the mix between east and west.

    Armor had to be mobile enough to fight with mongolian hordes in the steppes, but also strong enough to compete with european armor in the west.

    P.S. a classical artist's rendition of a historical battle.

    P.P.S. We are making some renders and eventually an animation of fight between a Russian swordsman and a Teutonic knight. Stay tuned.

    This moding team honors the forum with it's creations!!!!!
    They must get as much rep as we can give!!!!!
    TGC in order to continue its development seak one or more desicated scripters to put our campaign scripts mess to an order plus to create new events and create the finall missing factions recruitment system. In return TGC will give permision to those that will help to use its material stepe by step. The result will be a fully released TGC plus many mods that will benefit TGC's material.
    Despite the mod is dead does not mean that anyone can use its material
    read this to avoid misunderstandings.

    IWTE tool master and world txt one like this, needed inorder to release TGC 1.0 official to help TWC to survive.
    Adding MARKA HORSES in your mod and create new varietions of them. Tutorial RESTORED.

    Wow that's totally great +REP
    I have a question: You guys are planing to remake all of the vanilla factions which are in your mod (for example: Poland, Hungary, Byzantine Empire) and units in their rosters or are you leaving some vanilla elements?
