STICKMEN - STUPID WAR
A mod for Rome - Total War 1.5
Team members:

halie satanus, the "stickmaniandevil" ......................helps us in any way he can, and we thank him for that!

Werner.............................................makes sprites for the units
drak10687........................................modeller

And our team-motto is: "Expect the unexpected!"
Mod description:
Factions: We'll stick to the RTW factions, but unite the Romans and give teh factions funny names (e.g. "Greek Cities" = "Greek Stickmen Confederation", or "Rebels" = "Wooden Scum")
Units: It will have beautifully made stickmen-units, they are going to be detailed, and in order to make them actually look like soldiers, their shields are going to be designed very, very beautiful. I think this "stickmen with realistic shields" idea will add some flair to the battlefield. Also, they will have new, funny unit descriptions.
Buildings: They will have new names (Barracks = maybe "Stickmen Production Center") and new descriptions.
Campaign: I guess we'll use the Mundus Magnus map. New loading screens, new quotes and new funny stickmen-traits. The only problem is, we are able to work with Photoshop and 3dMax quite well, also we are able to edit all the necessary .txt files, but we need somebody who's able to make the new traits and ancillaries.
So what has to be done?
Concept Arts: The drawing of concept arts will help us to imagine how the final units should look like and make the actual modelling and skinning of this units easier.
Models: Of course, we’ll make 3d models of stickmen with textures. They will need unit cards.
Traits, Ancillaries: Funny traits and ancillaries will be added to the mod.
Loading Screens, Faction Icons: This will be made to make the mod look nicer. Loading screens and Faction Icons should be funny. They can be made in any program you like. They have to be saved as .tga, so you need Photoshop or Paint Shop or something like that. (Gimp)
Music: New music should be added to the mod. I’m trying to contact someone in this matter.
If you have music you think could fit to the mod, please tell me.
Who’s making what?
Concept Art: Can be made by any team member.
Models: They will be made by Lukas “Stickdonkey”.
Traits, Ancillaries: Nobody is making them, currently.
Loading Screens, Faction Icons: I can make them, if nobody else wants to.
Music: Everyone having music fitting to the mod, should contact me.
We currently need people who can make traits and ancillaries.
Shuriken: Please choose what exactly you want to do and PM me.
Thank you all very much for your help.
If you like this mod and want to help, please join!
We have no ETA for this mod yet, but you should expect the unexpected!!!
Concept Arts:
I have no working scanner at home, so the quality is crap. But you can see how our stickmen are going to look like: Nice stickmen with detailed shields. Also, the Naked Barbarian is hiding something behinf his shield, can you guess what? And by the way, eastern and southern stickmen will have a darker wood texture, which will add some varity, and the shields are going to be extremly detailed.
This time a mounted unit. Please keep in mind, that I'm not very good at drawing, and that the units will have a more wooden texture and the horse is going to look more like a horse.
Ok, some new concept art. It's a Spartan Hoplite, but note that the shield and the banner are just "concept" and far far far away from final.
New concept art. This time, the whole roman pre-marius infantry (melee (sp) and missile). We have started modding, so except the next update when we really have something interesting to show you (unit renders, ingame screenshots)
