Mod Idea
Hey guys, I have an idea for a mod, but I don't know how to work mod tools and all that stuff. But I was wondering if anyone was interested in hearing my idea?
It's a mod for MTW2, where all factions will be remade to be historically more accurate (if necessary) and several new factions will be added as well. There will also be a larger culture divide to add more realism and variety.
I have compiled a list of cultures and factions (along with their strengths and weaknesses).

Kingdom of Scotland
(Excellent spear and melee troops, but lacks cavalry and gun technology)
The Irish Kingdoms
(Good light infantry and missiles, but poor cavalry and notable gun technology)

**Kingdom of Denmark
(Great anti-armor troops and heavy infantry, but fields poor cavalry)

The current map will be extended to fit some more regions of The Americas, and now the campaign will reach all the way to the Far East.
Some new religions will be added (several forms of Paganism, Buddhism (even though it's technically not a religion), *Shintoism, Hinduism, *Taoism and *Baha'i Faith)
Any questions?
So, tell me what you guys think(And tell me if I got anything wrong, please!)
