    Default Beowulf: Total War

    Some time ago I started a modding project which is about Scandinavia in the migration period.

    The movie was actually awesome. And the poem, also named "Beowulf," was also awesome. You can't really fail when "Beowulf" is part of the name

    I hope people will realise that the poem is a lot better than the movie, and that the name Beowulf won't be associated with that horrible movie!

    I might just keep the name, because I want to show what Beowulf really is about.

    Is the map playable yet? regions, geograpy etc...

    oh..."I've just had some problems, because I haven't been able to make it work ingame.
    The reason is that there's to much water, so I will just have to find a solution.
    "


    perhaps the A:TW solution- dragon islands (lol- hey, it works...)

    edit: i really need to read other peoples posts before i post a repeat...


    maybe put a chunk of land northwest of norway...?

    Well, I found out that the landmass wasn't the problem, there were some other problems with it... I hope I will solve it soon, then I'll post some pictures of it!

    Beowulf is the name of the hero in an old Anglo-Saxon poem. It has recently been made into a movie which doesn't follow the poem at all but you can get the basic gist of it from that.
    "So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show."

    The mod is being updated regularly: The factions are designed, and screenshots of the map are public.
