Genesis: Total War Mod Suggestion!

**Zephyrus** · June 16, 2008, 04:21 PM

Seeing as how ideas can become reality with just a little effort on the internet, I have decided to pitch forward an idea for a rome total war mod based on a fantasy theme styled similiar to Satanus' lycan uprising mod for end of days. I am wondering if it would be possible to create a mod in which there is a chronicled timeline of the rise of a civilization, called the Kyubi, that resemble something like a combination between Tails the fox and Ratchet..the other fox. I want to see this race climb from 800 bc to 200 bc for RTW, and then continuing on BI past the "bc" point. The obstacles for them? There would also be other factions as this race progressed into their empire, vying for control and dominion of the entire campaign map in which this takes place. There can only be one faction, one empire, while the others must either be annihilated for the long term campaign, or subdued for the short term. In other words, the Kyubi, starting off as the barbarians with huts and wooden walls, eventually come to resemble the romans in armored units, stone walls, and advanced seige equipment.

Other Possible Factions-
The Kentauri-As the name suggests, this faction would be nomadic and depend mostly on horse units for battle success.
The Junga-A tribe of Black orclike warriors that hail from where the german starting point would usually be.
The Elemenna-A mixed units type of nation, with more emphasis on thinner, stronger units, like the Elves of Lotr, but reduced to a tribal type of society.
The Demi-tsune-A minor faction, being the first "human" faction present and having the easy location of being place on an island (unknown which, but probably Palma) and using skirmirsher type units in the beginning.
The Renovaces-Another human faction, but like the gauls of original RTW.
The Orcs-What kind of fantasy game would it be without the badasses themselves? However, these orcs are divided into 5 factions, all worshipping a pantheon of Dragons as gods and ancestors. The beginning strongest faction, Krage, are the fiercest and well-balanced of the other orc tribes, threatening the Kyubi from the area of the "Iberian Peninsula" (Still have to sort out the region names!

)

Jeez, not even 1 reply to deride or mock the idea??? Man, i feel terrible..

600 years is far too long and your thread is disorganized thats why you have no comments. If you are a good skinner, coder, modder or mapper I may have use for you in a fantasy mod with plenty of dragons.

OR, i can have some constructive feedback that would allow this mod to become realized. Yes, its a long shot..but one must never give up hope!!

I am wondering if it would be possible to create a mod

That's probably where you went wrong, when I read that it said to me, 'I don't know how to mod and can't really do much apart from research,' or something like that. At which point most experienced modders will leave the thread. Yours isn't the first fantasy mod based on fantasy (Orcs and Elves) and I doubt it will be the last, but the simple reason only a handful have been released is that the guys who started them did a huge amount of work themselves, in fact that could be said of most mods, probably.

If your willing to learn how to mod yourself and have the time then your welcome to use EODII as a base, you'll probably want to make your own map but other than that most everything else is just replacing what's already there. It should take about a year to get to your first release, if your a fast learner.

Good luck..

I wanted to play EOD but aint got BI... Grr!

You should do what FATW did and create a RTW version.

Anyway Zephyrus Im working on a mod like I said. Your welcome to join us as it will contain elves, dwarves and dragons... many others aswell!

Halie and Dakier...your both right in the fact that I do need a lot of work in the modding department. Maybe if i first become part of a modding team, that might help me learn from the more experienced artists on how to do the coding, research, and tools needed for such.

You know what? I think i will take part in your upcoming mod, Dakier!

Course, if you can feature the Kyubii tribe in it too, that'd be awsome!

Also I would advise you to learn a skill, not many mod teams will want to take you if you are not very skilled in modding ( Unless you did research but belive me there already alot of researchers out there).

Obvisioly though you can not become a modeler unless you have 3ds Max

**Zephyrus** · August 08, 2008, 04:24 AM

How does one obtain 3dsmax? And how would i be able to use it with RTW?

**Lord Dakier** · August 09, 2008, 08:56 AM

Alot of money unless you use the uhum cgeaper way lol.

Im going to put you in the team but not under a specified job. I'll see what I can do about that tribe...
