[Trajan]

Welcome to TWC. Mod requests/proposals go to the Mod Threads. Moved.

[SilverKing]

it could the fremen faction or the great houses. or a combination of the two.

the "Spice" was worm crap. lol


good idea, but futuristic stuff might be tough to portray

Planets= A mass of land (Well I guess a reskin is a bit less necassary but even still)
Space=The Sea (hopefully reskinned if possible)
You could certainly have mountable spice worms etc... and spice worms attacking could be like disasters like floods etc.
How to simulate Fremen being underground though?
How to simulate spice production? I mean you'd need gold AND spice. You can't have a resource in one region that affects other regions afaik.
I think if your doing a space based thing there are better choices IMO.

You could replace farming with spice production. More farming / spice = more gold.

No my point was the only way you would be able to represent it is via gold. The spice does a lot more then look nice. What about family members not aging? Blue eyes? Space travel is the most important... travel isnt gonna be able to function without it.

well thats true but i have a few probs.
1. i have no skill in mod making and id gladly take any tips on how to do so
2. i wasnt planning on a complete conversion, just making like one of the houses or the fremen land on the earth and create some sort of backround story for it (like those plate ship things got messed up somehow and they decided to take over the world for the hell of it).
3. i dont really have any friends that could help me (they got theyre own things)

[SilverKing]

im not sure anyone could do anything about the worms so i wont care if those arent in there

[SilverKing]

add tielaxu guys that make clones for space. that should end the need for ships.

[SilverKing]

spice i ment

[SilverKing]

i think that we should make a fremen faction that has melee units with 2 swords, missles are all crossbow and gunpowder, spice is farmed, little or no cavalry (unless yer thinkin worms), and all units look like reskinned islamic faction units. if i missed somethin plz tell me

You missed the edit button! Since when did the fremen have swords and crossbows?

[SilverKing]

u didnt see the movie? they had knives called krysknives and they had wrist mounted crossbows.

I've only seen the one with sting in it... still knives are different to swords.

[SilverKing]

also fedyken would be the elite units, like a swordsmen/missile hybrid

[SilverKing]

true, very true, so i guess that means i'd have to make a fremen soldier with basic weapons from m2tw

Why not just all new stuff?

[SilverKing]

cuz i dont think anyone can make a unit with two weapons let alone knives

[Player44]

It couldnt' be that hard, there are knife units in this game, and dual wielding has been made, albiet the second weapon isn't used....
