    Default Reign of Wessex (A mod of the life of Alfred the Great)


    Welcome heres the plan its called Reign of Wessex and its a mod of M2TW about the life of the perhaps greatest king in history Alfred the Great. It's starts in 856 and ends in 899.

    Reign of Wessex begins with death of Ęthelwulf "Alfred's father" and the begining of the reign of Ęthelbald "Alfred's oldest brother" Alfred at the time is only seven years old. Alfred the Great's reign will begin in 871 and end in 899. This mod will follow Alfred's childhood and rise to power till his death it will also include the history of his brothers Ęthelbald, Ethelbert and Ethelred as well as brief history on the early lives of Alfred's two sons Edward the Elder and Ęthelwęrd. Apart from the history of Alfred and his family it will also include brief history of other factions included in the game these factions are:

    (Kingdom of Wessex)
    Kingdom of Northumbria
    Kingdom of East Anglia
    Kingdom of Mercia
    Kingdom of Gwynedd
    Kingdom of Strathclyde
    Kingdom of Alba
    Jarl of Orkney
    Kingdom of Dublynn
    Kingdom of Connaghta
    Kingdom of Laigin
    Kingdom of Mumhan
    Kingdom of Ulaid
    Kingdom of Mide
    Kingdom of Ailech
    Kingdom of Norway (begins in 872)
    Kingdom of Jórvķk/York (begins in 875)

    Tell us what you think and what you would like to see in this mod and remember its about Alfred so NO entering into the area of other mods.

    the idea is not to bad, but vacuus lux lucis covers the exact same area, though with a some what longer time frame.

    Yep VLL is pretty much covering this era (600 - 900ish) with similar factions. Those faction symbols look fantastic though.

    It's good to see these Viking-era mods. It's a matter of fact that just about all Viking mods have failed or struggled - and I think there have been at least 7 of them (not including proposals) since the original Viking Invasion TW came out...

    Of course, Alfred the Great and Good (to give him his full title) was said to have been the greatest king ever to reign in the British Isles and anyone who has studied his life would probably agree. I think it's a great idea to make a mod focused on Wessex - but make sure you realize the amount of work and skills required, and getting help by using pre-existing resources will help a lot too (though not quite as much as some may think as the coding will take longer than mapping and modelling).

    The Last Kingdom, this mod and others centered around this period and this location are ones I would play.

    Sounds great. You might want to include another Welsh kingdom and maybe even a cornish kingdom too.

    You said to post my work here, and I haven't the slightest clue what you mean as I am offering to work as a researcher on the Gaelic and Brythonic factions in this game. I have no modding experience, but anyone who wants to try and teach me is more than welcome.

    I mean anything you research it will greatly help.
