    Default Medieval Scotland - Total War

    Announcing a new mod Medieval Scotland - Total War

    Medieval Scotland is the current working name of this mod which will use the new MTW 2 engine. This mod will encapsulate the battles between rival clans and families in Scotland, and also the interaction with England, Wales, Ireland, France and the Norsemen.


    Start Date - The Year of Our Lord 1139, the year after the Battle of the Standard

    Finish Date - The Year of Our Lord 1513, just before the Battle of Flodden Field

    Faction List (working, based on final number for MTW 2)

    1. Clan Armstrong
    2. Clan Bruce
    3. Clan Cameron
    4. Clan Campbell
    5. Clan Douglas
    6. Clan Fraser
    7. Clan Grant
    8. Clan Graham
    9. Clan Home
    10. Clan MacDonald
    11. Clan Macleod
    12. Clan MacIntosh
    13. Clan Scott
    14. Clan Stewart
    15. Clan Wallace
    16. England
    17. France
    18. Irish clan (to be named)
    19. Norsemen
    20. Rebel Clans
    21. Wales

    Intended inclusions:

    1. Ancient monuments such as Hadrians Wall, Antonines Wall, Iron Age Hillforts, Roman Roads, Stonehenge and other prehistoric monuments.
    2. Massive Campaign map of the British Ilses, Ireland, Britanny, Normandy and Norway.
    3. Revamped trading relying on farming and new resources such as peat, kelp, fish (MM3), salt (MM3), Horses (MM3), stone, potatoes, sheep and cattle.
    4. Reemergent factions (through scripting)
    5. Emerging factions.
    6. Smaller population and economic growth.
    7. Less Walled towns for less seiges and more open battlefields.
    8. New buildings (at first dictated by MTW 2)
    9. New units (at first dictated by MTW 2)
    10. Voice mods for Scottish and Irish Gaelic, Olde English, Welsh, French and Breton
    11. Custom Battles (Battle of the Standard, Battle of Flodden Field)
    12. Diseases (the Black Death will strike severely in certain towns) , Storms, Floods, Famines will occur regularly, while Fires and Earthquakes will also occur.
    12. An alpha public Version based on BI 1.6.
    13. Weekly updates (on sundays)
    14. County Campaign 1689 -1746 To include the Jacobite Wars
    15. And more

    The intended release date is approximately 3 months after the release of MTW 2, so there is still quite a while to go. This is certainly a large task by any means, however it will be a labour of love, and something I have wanted to lead and design since RTW first came about.......I am under no illusions that this will be easy.

    At this stage I do not have my own website, I will however approach TW Center and ask for a slot in the Hosted Community Projects so that this has a home for the time being. If anyone has not been involved in a mod before or if you are finishing one in the next few months, you can show expressions of interest in a PM to me.

    So in closing, if kilts, armour, swords, rain, fog, banners and Scottish Clan History is your forte, welcome to Medieval Scotland.

    Hi Guys thank you for the kind words.

    We really have to wait and see exactly what features MTW 2 comes out with, but I must say that so far the quality of work seems rather exceptional. I really think it will lend itself to what I am working on here.

    The Border Reiver do you still need this thread?

    The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.
