And the faction symbols got overhauled:
Spoiler for faction symbols:
1st row: The Empire, Skyrim, Morrowind
2nd row: The Medic Empire (under Titus Mede), the Crowns, Argonia
3rd row: Elsweyr, the Aldmeri-Dominion, Hammerfell
4th row: Daggerfall, Pyandonea, Wayrest
5th row: Summerset, Valenwood, Rebels
You may have noticed that we have an additional row of faction symbols, and that the secret symbol is not secret anymore. The additional factions are:
-the Medic Empire: After Martin Septim's death there were many men strugling for the throne of Tamriel. Titus Mede was one of them, and he was the one to capture the Imperial City. He will be a playable faction.
-Wayrest: Wayrest was already mentioned in the preview, and here is its symbol. Wayrest will be playable
-the Crowns: After Hammerfell was conquered by the Empire in E2, the Redguard society split into two. The so called "Heirs" adapted parts of the Cyrodiilic culture, while the "Crowns" insisted on keeping the old traditions of Yokuda, where the Redguards originally came from. The society is still split in E4, and the king of Sentinel is an Heir. The Crowns are likely to rebel against him. They will work like the Barons' Alliance in Britannia.
-the Aldmeri-Dominion: After the Thalmor seize control over Summerset, they will try to overthrow the rulers of Valenwood. The player will be able to do exactly this. You can restore the Dominion and bring Elven rulership to the world.
We can now proudly present a second preview:

1. The interface
I'll start with the interface. Thanks to Vladyvid we have a new one for Morrowind
Meanwhile, I did the Imperial interface.
Furthermore, Hexenkönig created a new menu:
Spoiler for Menü:
2. The map
The map also changed thanks to Hexenkönig, with new provinces, terrain, redistribution of settlement posessions and a new faction: Wayrest (Wegesruh in German)
The eastern provinces of High Rock fell to Skyrim after the war of Bend'r-Mahk. In the spoiler you can see Skyrim's posessions in High Rock
Hammerfell also took part in the war. And lost! Dragonstar, Dragongate and Elinhir were once in Hammerfell's posession
Here are some more picture of the overhauled Hammerfell:
We have also some new provinces and a forest on Solstheim. Snow will, of course, be done with the time:
The desert of Elsweyr and the southern jungles must not be missing:
And here are the various forests of Valenwood:
Cyrodiil got some additional settlements aswell:
3. The units
We've got some nice magical projectiles (thanks to Eotheose )
Spoiler for magical projectiles:
In addition, I created a new and very special type of projectile:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:It seems as if there is notjing dangerous.
But appearences are deceptive. The skald of Skyrim have a devastating voice:
We're currently working on coding (a new culture for the Argonians is done, as well as ten religions, one for each race; Takeda is working on the buildings). Units for most factions are also done coding wise (we're still lacking models).
I am busy with improving the coastlines.
Feedback would be appreciated
first preview:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Here we go: A first preview of our mod "Tamriel: Total War"
The factions
1. row: Empire of Tamriel, Skyrim, Morrowind
2. row: Summerset, Valenwood, Argonia
3. row: Elsweyr, top secret-faction, Hammerfell
4. row: High Rock , Pyandonea, Rebels
Mainly 11 factions will fight for honour and glory in Tamriel. I'm sure that some of you recognized the top-secret faction in row 3. Look forward to a surprise. It will be a very special one :strategie_zone_272:
In the spoiler below you'll find a description of the story, and in the second one you'll see some parts of the map.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:We're in the fourth era. The Empire is about to collapse. At every border of Cyrodiil the vanquished peoples struggle for freedom, and they don't fear the legion of the Empire. Overbearing dunmer, freedom-loving redguards, adept bretons, uppish altmer, swift bosmer, lizardlike argonians and fierce nord, all of them stand up to high chancelor Ocato, the current ruler of Tamriel. However, decay or a new rise of the Empire is not the only topic in TTW. You also have the chance to leave Tamriel and search for a new homeland. For instance, it is said that the once mighty Yokuda sank into the sea in the west, and that in the south there lies Pyandonea, a land shrouded in mystery, which is ruled by the immortal wizard Orgnum, who was expelled from Summerset.

And now a quote of Martin Septim:
The amulet is shattered, Dagon defeated. With the dragons blood and the amulet of kings we have sealed the gates of oblivion - forever. The last of the Septims passes now into history. I go gladly, for I know my sacrifice is not in vane. I take my place with my father and my father's fathers. The third Age has ended, and a new age dawns. When the next Elder Scroll is written, you shall be the scribe.The shade of the future, the fate of the Empire, these things now belong to you.
