[Preview] Brittanica Map Preview

[SonofPeverel]

Introduction

Welcome, to the first preview of the War of the West: Britannia map. We would like to say firstly, that this map is not complete. We are still working on several terrain features (Rivers, mountains, coasts, etc) as well as faction colors (For you Scottish fans ), and with the addition of Kinjo to our team, we hope this will go fast. This preview is to give you an idea of the scope and depth of our map. In addition, we will continuously give updates in this thread about the map and eventually show you the final product!




What you can expect from the British Isles?

• 160 Historically settlements with accurate position (within the limit of game engine).
• Historically accurate Region and Settlement names.
• Historical starting population and settlement size. (Not included in this current preview).
• Historical starting position for each faction (not included in this preview, work in progress).
• New trade resources included in the Isles (work in progress).
• Historical terrain features (work in progress).
• Settlements will be separated as castles and cities (recruitment, trade and building capabilities will be different for each type).
• 8 playable factions having their specific conditions to victory! (another larger preview will be done later).

Great Stuff!! + rep

Wow, wonderful map, rep to all of you! Seems like you have done a really good research, there are loads of places I have never heard of
Looking forward to see updates for the map! It seems like all factions are already on that map, though? But from what you said, I suppose it's just a test map... and is the white in Ireland the Baron's Alliance because they had to be on it?

[SonofPeverel]

No, this is the map. We just have to finish all the heights and terrain features. The white is the kingdom of Desmond.

[Riwallon]

very nice! can't wait to play it... this mod will be awesome

Ah okay, I got that wrong all the time then because I thought there would be only one Irish faction, sorry

And I didn't mean that the map wouldn't look good if you understood that, it's a great job of course

[SonofPeverel]

Yeah mate I understood .. Also there will be two Hebredeen factions(The Kingdom of Mann and the Lordship of the Isles)

The factions are all added, that's not a lot of work but their rosters aren't finished yet.

[Mausolos of Caria]

Ah good Yep I got that, 8 factions for Britannia sounds really promising
It's a pity by the way that most of the medieval castles in the North of Scotland are greatly destroyed by now and only unspectacular ruins are left. Most castles I have visited up there are from later times (like New Slains Castle instead of the Old one).

The factions are all added, that's not a lot of work but their rosters aren't finished yet.

Yeah I supposed that. I promise not to ask when the Britannia campaign will be done, so don't worry

[AnthoniusII]

Bravo!

[Dearg Doom]
