[Member Survey] Your desired mod(s)

[Kip]

Regarding rigging tw skins to m&b skeletons, we do have a vast wealth of resources for anything historical. For example one is being built right now: Marka Modding Museum (3M)

However in consideration of mythology I wonder can centaurs be made in mount&blade? Or is that stretching it?

it's possible i believe, not being an animator or model maker myself but i would say merging the skeletons somehow so they use both man and horse animations, but to get them to work right in gameplay wise i have no idea. i like the idea though.

Wow, a mythology mod would be killer.

I can imagine Amazons and Gorgons being implemented pretty easily, just off the top of my head. How cool would it be to ride as a mount Pegasus or one of the Mares of Diomedes??

This might push it for you guys, but I think a "World Mythology" mod would be absolutely insane. One faction could be Greek, one faction Egyptian, one faction Norse - basically, Age of Mythology M&B. You could even use AoM as a place to get unit ideas.

You can't edit the skeletons or add your own all you can do is resize them

[Armatus]

do you know when we will get skeleton support?

After warband maybe or we may never

Well in the meantime at least there can be giants and dwarfs. I'm looking forward to that mod over at taleworlds in fact. But Clearly as I suspected history has taken the lead here with the twc community. Although mythos lovers comes in close second if the two choices are combined. I think any mod I help with in the future I'm going to try and find some way to sneak some mythology into it

[Adorno1]

I also prefer mods based on history...
(but I did make the SAVAGE mod with boar riding 'vikings' so I'm flexible )

In fact I think mythology is the next best thing. You feel like you know the world already, and it feels real even though it's myth.

Voted for options 3,4 and 5. Though when I look at it afterwards, 3 would be my first choice

[Armatus]

Yep, even so there's no ignoring people want some sort of mythology as well. I hesitate to combine the native scores since one is about content and the other about story. So that leaves us with the safest route of appeal: History with elements of myth. What I am really surprised at is "Other" got only 2 votes? I mean this was a perfect chance for people to shoot off their crazy ideas, it's the category you're going to find LoTR and Star Wars... anything fictional.

So should we have a new poll to narrow things down to era of history?

[Saladin]

hmm, i would like to see a combination of the eras(pre gunpowder). just so i can have an epic showdown of normans vs. samurai vs. legionnaire. but that just me lol

[Armatus]

lol I think that's another game called pirates, vikings and knights or something like that

[Saladin]

lol yeah i just checked that out, i would go with early medieval era, during the time of the first crusades.

[Armatus]

History is really kicking butt here haha.

[Godless Pickle]

lol yeah i just checked that out, i would go with early medieval era, during the time of the first crusades.

Possibly in China or Japan? I have yet to see an Asian centered medieval era mod.

[Armatus]

There's a couple.

[ccllnply]

I would love to see a mod done around the Crusades

[Armatus]

Well we have some of those already.

[Nazgûl Killer]

Yeah, and all of them are bad.

[Armatus]

well at least one of them had the balls to KoH tracks in it

[Saladin]

seem to be leaning toward historical based mythical and total mythical conversion one minute, next minute im thinking native expansion compilation

[Kip]

I like the "Age of Mythology" idea, but what about a medieval south Asia thing, a la Broken Crescent? The map could span from Persia to India (omitting the Near East, since Crusades mods deal with that, and it would lower the work load of the modders). I think that would be aces. I don't think I've seen a single mod featuring India, let alone medieval Persia, Afghanistan, etc. Some of the nations in those areas had AMAZINGLY beautiful arms and armors, and it would make a stunning mod visually, as well as being a completely new area/era of history.
