THERA, Legacy of the Great Torment. Thera was a world much like the one we know. That was until one fateful day 222 years ago, a day when great natural calamities were unleashed on the world known as Thera. The planet suffered earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, an almost worldwide tidal wave, all in the space of one day. Huge wild fires ripped across many lands and there were reports of fiery objects seen in the skies. This day became known universally as the 'Great Torment'. The Legacy of the Great Torment is a world inhabited by many small nations which have been been forced to develop in near isolation, a world of large desolate, depopulated lands, which are ripe for conquest and development by a wise and powerful leader. Are you such a leader.......

Hi TheFirst,

You has said :

"The mod is already stable and fully playable (have been working on it part time for the last 6 months)

I am around 95% complete, and am currently testing and polishing."


It's really amazing !!

I'm a fan of the otherworld mod.

So, we can expect a release this summer...

+ rep for you !!

Great work !

Thanks for the input, If any modellers have any 'out of the ordinary units' they would be prepared to donate, they will of course be fully credited, but I'd like to add some extra fantasy elements if possible,

cheers

This mod looks quite interesting, the completely different map will add a freshness to the game, have you thought about adding a samurai type faction:hmmm: ? may be to much work though but i like the mix you have. anyway good work cant wait to try it out.

Fun things to do in Total war:
  1. Trample peasants to death with elephants (optionally with culverins)
  2. Burn peasants with greek fire
  3. Bombard peasants with mangonels
  4. Burn peasants with fire-arrows
Yes, I like my peasants...
Fried!!!

What pro's do the less technologically advanced factions get (for example, theromuli empire)?

They have good heavy infantry such as access to the Urak hai, and Roman Legions, also they have lower upkeep, so are able to field larger armies. SO far in testing the factions blance each other out, without totally predictable results, I have ran tests in excess of 300 turns, also the faction placement allows them to grow very successfully.

Each non player faction also recieves scripted re_enforcements

I shall post screen shots from the test runs

Those legionnaires look sort of weird...theirs arms are to fat and they look kind of bland. Maybe you can have them wear lorica segmantata?
