Empire: Slaves and Colonies
Hey all. I'm really looking forward to Empire:TotalWar, but I'm a bit
dissapointed by a few things. For example; No Slavery, No Indonesia,
No important trade with the Chinese.
I saw some mod proposals for the Whole world, it's much too difficult to
get that, with all those extra factions you need.
I want to start a mod just for making the campaign much better, just like
Stainless Steal for Medieval 2.
First of all; the following maps:
__________________________________________
Europe, North Africa and the Middle-East.
__________________________________________
The Americas.
__________________________________________
And most important; Asia.
__________________________________________
Slavery.
______________________
Look at the squares you see at the first map in the west of Africa,
My thoughts were to made that to "Slavery Point"
If you take one of these 2 regions, every city/town in your colonies (Everywhere except on the continent where your Capital begins) will get an higher income with 5%/10%/15%/20% (say what you think what's good).
The problem of these slavery points are that they will be protected by a big army (not strong, only big).
And when you have them, the public order will go down a bit, because there will be more people, so you need more soldiers in your colonies.
Now you'd think; "I take them both; much income for me! "
That wouldn't be nice anymore, we can fix that like;
1. If you have a second one; that wouldn't help, no extra incomes.
2. The more realistic one; It wont give you that much income again, because your population
will be much less happier then before, the things you have to do to keep them happy will cost to much.
?? I thought about it, when the Slavery Points are taken bye a faction, The Kingom of Marocco wil get an extra income too, you have to see them like the Slave-sellers(don't know the correct English word). Good idea ??
__________________________________________
(Trade with) the Chinese.
__________________________________________
I'd like to put a faction or 2 at the north east of India,
A strong China ofcourse and another faction, but I don't know which
which strong nations their were.
Trade rights with the Chinese have to be very important!
The Chinese first didn't want to trade with the Europeans, and it will be hard to get Trade Right with them!
No trade rights = No trade AT ALL.
__________________________________________
Indonesia
__________________________________________
This is the most dissapointing thing to me,
Their is no Indonesia on the Asia map.
Without Indonesia, the United Provinces (Netherlands) are nothing!
If you look at the green part, there have to be the "Atjeh Rebels"
The Dutch gave them their freedom because they can't break them.
It will be a kind of a pirate faction but with a strong land army,
that tries to ambush every enemy that is comming on their lands.
In the wars against them, that was their strength!
Historicly it was a pirate faction, since the Dutch left them alone.
__________________________________________
Rebel factions
__________________________________________
If you ask me, there will come a rebel faction again,
all rebels will just have their own flag, pirate or not.
___________________________________________
South-America
_______________________
I can't find the Empire:TotalWar map of the Americas anymore,
but I'm almost sure their wasnt (almost) not a South-America.
There were colonies of Spain, Portugal, France, United Provinces and England.
Maybe we could put all the other lands in one single faction; South-America Rebels.
I'm really not sure about this part of the mod.
____________________________________________
A small thing.
____________________________________________
We should put the Arctic Ocean (above Sweden/Norway/Russia)
at the end of the map.
The see has to be open above Sweden, then the Russians can put their
ships to the West-European seas without assaulting the baltics or something.
Would be more realistic.
___________________________________________
This is just;
The Idea.
____________________________________________
I really want a team for this, and make this mod a good one!
I haven't experience with making mods, and will just give you an idea.
This seems me realistic to make.
