The Dark Eye - Aventuria: Total War?

[Azhriaz]

Hey there,

I wondered if anyone knows the pen & paper system The Dark Eye from Germany. The game is situated on a continent named Aventuria, on a planet named Dere. It's like M2:TW with extra fantasy units, so a relatively "realistic" fantasy world.

As I don't think there has been the idea by now, to create a mod which covers this (imo awesome and profound) fantasy world, I would like to ask for some guys who know about the world and the background. Ever since I heard of a second M:TW I had the dream to make such a mod, but unfortunately I would need some advice of real modders on how to make the campaign map. I also created unit lists und began to set the attributes of units despite the fact, that M2:TW wasn't even released.

So, well, what do you think of my idea? Especially, I would search for people who would like participating (or leading) such a mod, as I got really not enough time to do such a great thing all alone.

Most important thing you'll need is modellers and skinners. Pick up both skills and you can get your project up.

I guess I just have to try, if I ever want to see this mod released. The good thing is, that I can use many units from M2:TW, as some factions in Aventuria resemble Spain, HRE, England, etc.

Here's the Faction List:

1: Al'Anfa
2: Brabak
3: Albernia
4: Andergast
5: Aranien (Arania)
6: Bornland
7: Fürstkomturei Maraskan (english translation?)
8: Glorania (Glorana's Ice-Realm)
9: Großgorisches Reich (Great-Gorian Empire?)
10: Horasreich (Horasian Empire)
11: Kalifat (Caliphate)
12: Mittelreich (Middenrealms)
13: Nostria
14: Orkland (Orclands)
15: Shîkanidad von Sinoda (Shîkanidad of Sinoda)
16: Thorwal
17: Trahelien (Trahelia)
18: Transysilien (Transysilia)
19: Warunkei
20: Xeraanien (Xeraania)
21: Rebels

Ofcourse... if you can release a version with some basic skins... but the battles are great then you'll attract a lot of people.

[Azhriaz]

So. By now I'm working on the unit list and basic unit stats, and it's going very well. The unit stats for the factions of Al'Anfa, Thorwal and Trahelia are finished. I hope I've got enough time to finish alls stats within the next two weeks. Well, if it continues like that, I'm gonna be ready for release in about two years.

I also discovered someone, who has done already extensive work on the campaign map, but unfortunately I don't know if I can win him for my project - as I don't know, if he's still into modding. I will also ask other modders for help with skinning. I'll keep you updated.
