Hyrule: Total War - Link to Subforums in First Post

@Aipe
I'll make them when I figure out a good statement for their signatures.

@quenya
I'll post a link here if it's needed. Hopefully a subforum will be ready soon. Until then I'll keep putting updates here when I finish them.

Speaking of, I think the battlefield needs a wee bit more color before it gets all bloodstained:

Humanoid Manifest:
Often when larger fairies leave their places of hiding they assume the form of other races to hide their intent and identity. When a Fairy is out to kill however, their intent is always clear. Assumed to be an adult period of a Fairy's life, these human sized beings can kill without hesitation and mercy. Armed with staffs that are able to unleash bolts of energy, these footmen of Tarm can reduce an enemy formation to dust from a distance.

Lovely lovely fairies. May the brute force of lizards send them all to heaven.

Hi, I saw the mod, and im a fan of Zelda.
One question, when can play a campaign of this game?

Good job, and Im waiting for the full game.

[Redmagpie]

Seeing as both the Oracle games and Minish Cap featured grounded versions of the 3 goddesses (N,F & D) then are they going to appear as neutrals/traders etc as opposed to trying to figure out how they could be prevented form being OverPowered (being gods and all that xD)

(You can probably tell from my wording that I'm not a Total War player usually (rather a avid Zelda fan- shock there xD)....)

What about the fariy characters from your other games or that unamed one from that picture that shows links rivals?
And what about the Huskus Warriors that rival the Gohma?

...Congratulations UndyingNephalim. You just made me buy a game I had no interest in, just to play this awe-inspiring mod.

I can't wait to see how the finished product turns out. The level of dedication to the intricate little details of the Hyrule universe make this really stand out.

I hope nintendo lets this one slide, like they did with Zelda Classic. Because this...this mod looks to be...LEGENDARY (pardon the pun).

As soon as Steam finishes installing it, I'm taking this for a spin.

Oh, so they accepted to give you one? Cool!

I think the battlefield needs a wee bit more color before it gets all bloodstained

Maybe a bit too much. I like the shade of purple/pink, but the green ones seem a bit too... disco? Might want to make them a little less vibrant.

...bwhu?

Awesome mod man,

I was doing some play testing on the units, definitely needs balancing.

1) Darknut legion units are way too small, they get swarmed and killed every time; suggest increaseing unit size by 50%.

2) Some more expensive units for the Gohma have worse stats than the cheaper units, faction seems slighty overpowered as a whole.

3) Zora's and Gonor's low ranking units are too expensive, they're not very economical; suggest lowering costs by 100 for Zora Warriors and Gonor Guardians.

- played on medium with huge unit size -

Other than that well done on the mod and good luck with it =).

@Woltar
As of now I've not started on the campaign, but there will be one. I'm working on finishing all the models and maps before I do that.

@Redmagpie
I personally consider the three Oracles separate beings from the Goddesses, they are Oracles after all. I'd describe them as avatars sent to the world to accomplish whatever goals the Goddesses have since they left the world at its creation.

@VGF254
That unamed Fairy will show up in the game (her name is actually Dezaia and she's been on the unit list for awhile). The Huskus will probably show up too.

@Aegix Drakan
Well, it's been 72 hours since news of this exploded everywhere and I've yet to receive a cease and desist. So far so good.

@Duke Serkol
I suppose you'll enjoy muting their colors with blood.

I'd say eponimous representatives more than avatars, but yeah, certainly separate beings.

The Huskus will probably show up too.

Mercs?

[Aipe]

so how do you plan to do the great faries, because the are very diferent from one game to another

[Strandoo]

I just want you to know that this is one of, if not the best and most exciting mod i have EVER seen! you do amazing work!

Also I just started playing all the Zelda games again (thanks Zelda 3DS!) and have been browsing your to do list to look at units, maybe i just missed it but do ya have any plans for majoras mask(either Majors Incarnation or the skull kid)?

[Strandoo]

Also any plans for Maple the witch?

[Duke Serkol]

Oh... funny that, I thought those were the Great Fairies already. So are the Manifests instead something we never saw in the games? Or are you referencing something I'm missing Neph?

A Termina sub-mod is being considered.

A Termina sub-mod is being considered.

I think that since Ikana is being included in the campaign for H:TW, it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to include a faction like 'Worshipers of Majora' (the ancient tribe mentioned in Majora's Mask) It would also be interesting to see a second Goron faction (Terminan Gorons) to correlate to the second Zora (Lanayru Province Zora) faction.

Neph, are there any plans to include the bomb throwing Hinox?
They would be an awesome addition to the Moblins or equivalent.

Also, fire spitting, machete weilding river zoras!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

These two must happen. It would add so much to the Zelda feel!

[UndyingNephalim]

@Aipe
If there's is absolutely one thing Windwaker did right it was making the Great Fairies look like freaky aliens. I'll probably base Great Fairies on their Windwaker counterparts.

@Strandoo
I've been trying to find ways of including more things from Majora's Mask in the mod, and I think it's safe to say Majora will somehow make an appearance (he's had a very important role in all my older Zelda stuff after all). I have no plans for Maple at the moment but I could probably find a way to fit her in the game.

@Duke Serkol
Manifests could probably be considered Great Fairies that have not become powerful yet. If we were to compare the Fairies to butterflies the small fairies would be larva, manifests would be a pupae, and Great Fairies would be adults.

@Eleos
- The Hinox will show up, just not sure where they'll be yet. They'll probably have ties to the Moblins though as you suggest.
- The River Zoras are one of my favorite races in the series and have been requested by others *cough Duke Serkol cough*. From the very start they were going to be an NPC race, but who knows.

You know, personally I always thought the ancient tribe that created Majora was the one the Garo belonged to.
But regardless, it's still not sure if Ikana will be in the standard mod (me I'd much prefer the Rito, or having the River Zora as a full fledged faction), and the reason Neph has listed them is because he theorizes due to the Triforce references found there (I think that was the theory's only basis... right?) that Ikana was once in Hyrule.

Augh, that artwork with the tail... I really dislike it. It comes from a guide and not a Japanese one either. I wouldn't count it as canon.
But anyway, you'll be happy to know that the River Zora are listed among Wild Creatures/Rogue Armies (along with only Dodongos and Kodongos, so it's safe to assume the River Zoras are the Rogue Army there) and Neph promised they'll get more than one unit

If there's is absolutely one thing Windwaker did right it was making the Great Fairies look like freaky aliens.

Uh... we seem to have a somewhat different definition of "right".



But there won't be any complains from me (at least unless they look even more alien. To the point of getting blatant and impossible to interpret otherwise, I mean).

I have no plans for Maple at the moment but I could probably find a way to fit her in the game.

Hopefully without the flaying saucer, amirite? But anyway, she could make her own unit together with Syrup, perhaps?

Manifests could probably be considered Great Fairies that have not become powerful yet. If we were to compare the Fairies to butterflies the small fairies would be larva, manifests would be a pupae, and Great Fairies would be adults.

Ah gotcha. I like the butterfly comparison, after all, in OoT you can turn butterflies into fairies by letting them land on a Deku Stick (further establishing a close relationship between them and the Great Deku Tree?)

The Hinox will show up, just not sure where they'll be yet. They'll probably have ties to the Moblins though as you suggest.

I don't really know how I feel about those guys. Before FSA came along, they'd only appeared in the Dark World and it was heavily implied that they once were (or their ancestors were) people that got sucked in and were transformed by the place.
And in FSA too, it's strognly suggested that most of the monsters you fight have been released from the Dark Mirror.

Still, I'm not saying I'd be troubled if you added them. But I probably wouldn't vouch for their inclusion.

The River Zoras are one of my favorite races in the series and have been requested by others *cough Duke Serkol cough*. From the very start they were going to be an NPC race, but who knows.

@Duke Serkol
Well since Fairies seem to have been influenced from butterflies I've tried to go more along the lines of insects. I think that's what they 'tried' to do in Windwaker by giving the Great Fairies four arms to sort of imply they were more insectoid. Granted they still look nothing like insects, but that's not going to stop me:

Korrigans:
Once powerful Great Fairies centuries ago, the Korrigans for one reason or another abused their abilities and were stripped of their powers and sentenced to imprisonment for all time. During times of war however these hateful beings are released from their confinement and used as front line soldiers and cannon fodder. Drained of their legendary magics, Korrigans instead wield four blades in their hands as they rip their enemies asunder.

[mate33]

about poes (big poes, the poes of the desert temple (tp), etc) they will be in the game?

and please update the to do list
