Sweden - Age of the Kings (MOVED TO M2TW, THREAD CAN BE LOCKED)

[jakobh94]

History:

Sweden was a weak country from the beginning but fought her way up to conquer territories around their country. The kingdom became and empire and the most battles were fought on enemy soil.

The first king Birger Jarl united sweden into one part (i think it was mostly three parts) and gave the name "Sweden" to this new kingdom.
Eventually the kingdom would expand in finland, norway, russia, denmark and germany, forging an empire greater and richer anyone could ever think, sweden would be.

I intend to the first edition make a campain in 1000 A.D. - 1520 A.D.

The mod will contain:

* Historical made buildings

* Historical made units, each faction with atleast 5 different units

* New campain map zoomed in on sweden, norway, denmark and finland

* New animations, fitting the swedish kingdom way of fighting

* Factions including:

- Denmark
- Norway
- Finland
Sweden
- The House of Erik
- The House of Sverker
- The House of The Folkings

Westgeatland






Right now i need evryone i can get to help me:

Modellers/Skinners
Historical advisor
Scripters (i my self will be working in this part, making unit files)
Mappers
Campaign workers
Animators
And a guy, talanted in Photshop (for picture for the mod and other stuff)
In short words: Evrything you need for a mod!

I will first talk to a historical advisor to plan what we would need to do.
After that, the actual mod working will begin.

I'm joining you right away!
Historical advisor

[jakobh94]

Oh thank you very much Carl, i already know your historical talents so no need for questioning.

Can you give me some info of the kings/Jarls 1000-1300?
And maybe (maybe) name some of the units that were used under that time.

[Carl von Döbeln]

Here is a list of the Swedish Kings from 995-1130
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_%...riges_regenter

[jakobh94]

Thank you, that will be useful

/Greets, Jakob

[Carl von Döbeln]

Olof skötkonung will be the first king in the mod,although it will be difficult to start so early,i would say 1150 is the best choice.

[jakobh94]

Oh, i'll put up some possible Heirs from 1150. Got any info on the units?

[Carl von Döbeln]

I advice you to start the mod 1150.

I will find some.

[jakobh94]

Ok, thx. I'll 100% start the mod 1150.

I want you others to be interested in this mod to! c'mon you guys, a SWEDISH KINGDOM mod! You never se that dont you?

/Greets, Jakob.

[Joke]

What a nice idea you got there. I'm really looking into this mod when this comes out, I've always wondered why there was no Sweden in Medieval 2...

Unfortunately I don't know anything about modding so I can just wait.

Thumbs up!

[jakobh94]

Thx, i hope i will assemble enough people to this mod

(Acutally i was expecting Carl to come because he loves the swedish history, i really envy him: )

And dont forget this:

/Greets, Jakob.

[Carl von Döbeln]

Yes and in the beginning, Make sweden divided into three parts.

The House Of Erik
The House Of Sverker
The House Of The Folkings( I shall research more on the name)

Exampel: If you play as The House of Erik and defeat The House of Sverker and the house of the Folkkings your faction's name changes from The House of Erik to Sweden.

[jakobh94]

Thank you (those were the parts i was looking for )
But is it enabled to change faction names, i've never finnished a game with the romans but i've heard that the faction name is changed when you control rome, is this true?

Now i know one thing for sure, these three Lines will be three factions, will update the first post. And it would be a great idea to see what areas they controlled (lot pressure on you, take it easy )

[Carl von Döbeln]

The House of Erik: Westgeatland
The House of Sverker: Uppland and south Eastgeatland
The Folkkings:North Eastgeatland and Some parts of WestGeatland.

I will try to find a map of it

Regards/Carl

[jakobh94]

Oh my god your working hard, thank you another time, will represent the faction holding these landscapes.

/Greets, Jakob

[Carl von Döbeln]

I have much of it in my head

Finland will be held by rebels ei?

[jakobh94]

Yes i think so, atleast for the first edition. But still they will have a few units, but finland wont be as much depth as the other factions.

/Greets, Jakob

[Carl von Döbeln]

Good.

[corey4045]

u should do like a swedish empire mod starting in 1631 with sweden in controll of germany

[jakobh94]

Hm... I maybe will will but not in first eddition. I dont like the RTW engines gunpowder animations... They feel unrealistic and will some times do strange things.
But im not 100% making the mod this way in the future, but sure, Gustavus II Adolphus is allways interesting.
