[Sub Mod]House Hightower (released)

[broccoliano]

This is a very small modification,it was meant for my use but since it is done i didn't see any reason not to make it public.It basically add one faction(House Hightower) which has some renamed units and a couple characters.They hold Oldtown in the beginning,they're built over the vanilla Normans,but I have used only the latest units to stick with the rest of the factions flavor.

Anyway,enjoy it and,if you don't,try to avoid any great complaints,it is a little thing and it was meant to be.

to install it just unzip it in your Med/..mod folder(but first rename the folder in something different than westeros,or it will overwrite your actual 0.53 game.)

Oh, i think you just created the first submod for westeros total war.
I think we might need a submod section.. Hmm..

Anyway, good work. I hope you are still around to update your submod once the next version is released.

Ok, but why House Hightower? They aren't (afaik) so rebellious as Freys. So why should they be separated from Reach?

[Jaime Goldenhand]

They are a very powerful noble family. On par with some of the great houses

[Lordinquisitor]

They even have several sworn houses of their own. If we would include the vassals of the great houses as playable factions the hightowers would probably be the first one we would include.

+Rep, man!
very nice!

(btw, do you think GRRM is a big fan of Police Academy? He likes black dudes ripping chairs from cars ?)

[Túrin Dagnir]

So, if I will want to play House Tyrell and smash Lannisport and Casterly Rock, I have to defeat House Hightower (and House Florent, maybe?) - allies won't be suffice, if I would need army and money. If AI would be better and vassals would be really dutiful... But Medieval can't do it, I'm afraid.

I don't know... it would be so bad if I had to kill my bannersmen only to led their people to my really enemy... But I know, it's a little argument. Maybe any choice? If I want to play Hightower - I can. If I want to play Tyrell - whole Reach is mine, including Oldtown. But I don't know it's possible. And I know maybe it's to early for such talks .

[Cillian]

I think house hightower could be a faction in their own right, I mean the Tyrells are quite overpowered as it is and very easy to win with, maybe if you gave Oldtown and the Arbor to this faction and maybe that other town beside Oldtown.

[Trivmphator]

MAKE MORE.

Very good work! Which are the victory conditions?

I hope it too...but i'd say that depends on you guys .(Plus if you need a hand for minor txt things i'd gladly give it).

Have forgot to add any victory condition,and i've just bought a feast for crows and realised i've used the wrong name for Leyton's son...so expect a little update sometime soon.

Thanks for the appreciation.

This seems real nice actually, wont DL though.
Not cuz of u man, only that i won't download anny new until W:TW1.0 comes...might do some scripting(or whattever tampering with the Descre files are called) on my own...and i shall in the future learn how to skin and such so i can make my own faction too... Id like to add Velaryons on Driftmark as a faction in a own little submod...but that have to wait though... Or maybe not..if in 1.0 there is a lordship dor DM and a settlement called DM...then id be happy just addin a general or such. Seems nice though, ur SM i mean. Thumbs up lad!

EDIT: forgot to mention...pluss rep for ya man!

[MagUidir]

hmm what all other "Minor houses" should their be?

[Cillian]

^^Boltons definitly, maybe the Daynes of Starfall? that would be cool
Oh, and Blackwoods

[Gurkhal]

I don't really like the idea of Bolton as an independent faction, which I did some time ago but I've changed my mind.

Instead I think that the Boltons could be incorporated so that if certain conditions are met, like say having the Starks be in war with sufficient enemies and weak enough or something like that, Roose and Ramsay Bolton along with some forces and the Dreadfort changes faction to the King on the Iron Throne (whichever side is at that moment the candidate). This to represent how the Boltons changes sides without having the problem of a smallish faction not doing what it's supposed to be doing.

Id call that a constructive and neat aproach to the "Bolton" issue.
Good thinking

Its a +Rep my friend, cuz i think this is the best way of doing this without making it a problem for the gameplay.

[caldt]

After I added this submod, it changed the map in the bottom left corner of the campaign map to be zoomed right in, with no option to zoom out at all. Is that supposed to happen/is there a way to change it? Also the name of the faction is Sicily, not Hightower, so was there just an installation problem?

[Marcus Marcellus]

Damn italians interfering with all thats not their buisines....


EDIT: Good O 100

[Murfmurf]

Nice work

FAO Hannibal: can we get a submod subforum set up now?
