Star Wars Mod?

[Condiments]

Hi! I have lurked around twcenter as a Guest and finally got around to making a forums account. The reason I did this was to propose a mod which might interest some people (namely myself). I don't have the time or the expertise to do this so I'm just throwing it out there in the hope that some random modder takes it up.

Star Wars Mod.

Yep, I said it and I reckon that I'm not the first. I was thinking that someone could replace the katanas with lightsabers. The animations of the katana samurai while fighting each other really fit. The spears could also be replaced with those long lightsabers and the matchlock samurai could maybe be made into storm troopers or droids.

Just throwing my idea out there. Feel free to use it, criticize it or even improve on it. Thanks for reading this and hope you have a good day!

Well, it wouldn't be hard to create the units and the effects. See the video I made a while back:

However, we are unable to create a campaign which would suit the star wars universe. We cannot change the map in such a fashion. So there wouldn't be much of a point in creating a star wars mod.

We can't cahnge the map

I'm not really suggesting a complete overhaul you see which is why I placed this thread here and not in the Compilations & Overhauls category.

That was a really cool video and I don't see why it got that many dislikes. I hope someone decides to do this cos' then I will be a really happy man.

Regardless of the fact that the map cannot be changed, I think it would be an incredibly fun mod and I'm sure I would play it. Even though Shogun 2 modding is in its infancy, we can edit units weapons and colours, we sure as hell can make the blaster effects.
I'm not sure on importing models like lightsaber handles or blasters but hey a little imaginatin wouldn't hurt whilst playing. I'd happily pretend I'm fighting on one island of one planet.

Condiments, I applaud you. Yes, I did scoff at the title of this thread but having read it, I think it would be excellent!

If you want to play a star wars strategy game, just get Star Wars: Empire at War.

[Col. Tartleton]

In a way that's an advantage of it. SWs is hard to put into scale. I mean the macro warfare is across the whole galaxy, but it's fought by guys in white armor running around on foot... You'd still have hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting over an island the size of Japan. Billions fighting across planets, trillions across sectors, quadrillions across each arm, etc. (Maybe not, I'm not sure how populated their galaxy is) but still.

One could even make up one's own story! That the Empire had landed on Earth, and their first target was Japan!

[Bad213Boy]

man i would totally play that. ive been waiting for a strategy game like star wars to hit. mass jedi fighting. ing awesome.

I'd be willing to modify existing models and such, but i have no idea what programs to use.

well for the map TED progam is already there, but this mod need to do by large amount of people to be done ,
map = ted
unit = hmm yes it can be replaced
effect = armstrong effect can be used
sound = nah its the problem , it need recorded and editing again , well if you prefer silence unit it more easy :d
building = ...... i dont have a clue here since i never see mtw2 castle in shogun2 :p
