A New Great Mod Idea? =d

~Dark Britain Total War~

Britain
The dark ages
The Roman Empire has fallen
The land lies in ruins divided among feuding tribes
To the west, Ireland has flourished-untouched by the Romans, protected by the sea
Led by their powerful and ruthless king, the irish have subdued the britons, the queen is dead by illness
Knowing that if Ireland is to prosper, the tribes must never be allowed to unite

Timeline ->

420 - 500 A.D. with 4 turns passing a year - Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter

Map ->

A brand new campaign map, look at this to have an idea of who is ruling the land (of course we will need more maps with more details) =

http://www.grailcode.com/wp-content/...n-conquest.jpg

and maybe this one could also be usefull for provinces (ireland will be found) =

Factions ->

*Angle Tribes*

~ Northumbria ~ (North Angles)
~ East Anglia ~ (East Angles)
~ Mercia ~ (Middle Angles)

*Saxon Tribes*

~ Essex ~ (East Saxons)
~ Middlesex ~ (Middle Saxons)
~ Sussex ~ (South Saxons)
~ Wessex ~ (West Saxons)

*The Jutes*

~ The Isle of Wight and Kent under their rule ~

*Briton Tribes*

~ Cornwall ~ (South-Western Britain Celts of Dumnonia)
~ Gwynedd ~ (North-West-Wales Celts)
~ Powys ~ (North-East-Wales Celts)
~ Deheubarth ~ (South-West-Wales Celts)
~ Morgannwg ~ (South-Wales Celts)
~ Gwent ~ (South-East-Wales Celts)
~ Brycheiniog ~ (Middle-Wales Celts)
~ Rheged ~ (North-Western Britain Celts)

*Pict Tribes*

~ All picts under one rule of whole scotland ~

*Irish kingdoms as one united*

-----> All Angle/saxon/jute/briton tribes are allies - Pict are neutral with them but ally with the Irish (the pict will become soon allied to all tribes of Britain - The irish are ennemy to 2 briton tribes = Rheged and Cornwall (lays in Dumnonia)

Historical Battles -> we will find some I'm sure of it

New Units with their own strengths, weapons and abilities

Example 1 = A 5th Century Hero Saxon Warrior

Ex. 2 = A 5th century Briton Warrior Mask

Ex. 3 = Briton Tribes Fight

ex. 4 = Celtic warriors

Ex. 5 = Jutish warrior Hengest landing at Ebbsfleet on the Thames in Kent

Ex. 6 = Pict warriors in Highlands

Ex. 7 = Irish warriors & Village

Ex. 8 = Anglo-Saxons 5th century

If people are interested post your feedback! =D
I would like to base this mod on the story of Tristan&Isolde and the movie I have seen!I will help with researches cause that's my only talent to help making a mod! THANX!

good luck

**TristanandIsolde** · June 23, 2008, 03:02 PM

Well merci!

And are you interested or can you help me with any function?
A britain campaign just a century before king Athur!
Because King Arthur became king in 500 A.D. precisely
This is a arthurian roman so why not!
I would not come here to show you if I wasn't fascinated by this one
Tristan, a knight of the round table, isn't that strange, he lived in 410 A.D. but appears also with Arthur himself!

I think it would be nice to see how this one can be developed!

**Born To Folk** · June 23, 2008, 03:14 PM

I'm already working on a mod. so i'am sorry i can't help

Perhaps you should check this out, before you start any work.....

**General Decius** · July 04, 2008, 08:53 PM

u put alot of effort into this, research in whatnot at this point u should at least continue with it and make it in to something

**Gen.jamesWolfe** · July 06, 2008, 06:43 PM

but to clarify on a few things: the britons (or romano britons for accuracy) used romanized eqipment and fighting styles; your celts are 5 centuries off:
you got ibfd? the units for the romano british in their case is roughly what you want. ask permission if you want to use them: talk to pseudo romanus, tell him Gen.james wolfe recomended you, and let him see with his leader for IBFD to give you permission.

just helping

**Forsworn** · July 12, 2008, 05:04 PM

Indeed, IBFD(and its submods) has a general idea on what you want to equip the British Tribes with. They were Romanized and still considered them Britain Romans even when the Empire withdrew its Legions.

Though it would be the Saxons that gave the General idea on England instead of Britain.

**Gen.jamesWolfe** · July 12, 2008, 11:03 PM

England derives from the old english for "Angle's land"; the angles were a saxon tribe. so England is a name the saxons gave the Island areas they inhabited; Wales is derived apparently from the old english for "stranger", and scotland is land of the scotti, an Irish tribe that moved into what is now scotland...

what? I read this in me collier's encyclopedia...

**sparty** · July 13, 2008, 01:00 AM

That is a pretty cool idea. It'd be neat to mix fact and legend in it as well so that you could incorporate Saxon folk tales, etc.

**peanut** · December 14, 2008, 10:09 PM

Really good idea! I've just finished to read "The enemy of God" and i am eager to see any progress here soon

**gaius_caesar** · December 20, 2008, 06:12 AM

will you include british legionaries?

**Hriflingr the Hardnosed** · December 20, 2008, 07:04 AM

Good idea however 80% of your infomation is incorrect

Britons at the time where more romanized. (those pics are ancient Britons)
Correct names:
Ireland - Hibernia (Ireland if i'm correct is the Anglo Saxon name.)
Briton - Britannia (England did not occur until Alfred the Great's grandson.)
Scotland - Pictland (Scotland did not occur until the kingdom of Alba.)
Wales - Not yet created still part of Britian.

The Saxon helmet from Sutton Hoo was only a Noble or Royal type helmet and wasn't used until after the end of this mod. (I think)
