Historians! The Frontier Needs You!

**Theodotos I** · November 29, 2008, 06:44 PM

Only the brave dare to go where no man has ever gone before—to The Frontier. . .

The Frontier is an up-and-coming mod for MTW2:Kingdoms, focusing on the New World of 1655-1774 and covering the epic struggle for survival from the tropical rainforests of Guiana to the icy Hudson Bay. First conceptualized by Tommyknocker, the mapper for Stainless Steel, the team is striving to give Medieval 2 modding a fresh new scene. In many ways, the choice of name has proved ironic, for the New World is not the only frontier the team has found, as they look to push the engine to new limits and bring forth unique and never-before-seen facets of gameplay.
The last preview of our work can be found here, on the Frontier forums.
Some twenty-eight to thirty factions are planned, covering Amerindian tribes from the Maya to the Montagnais, and including England, Spain, New France, and the Netherlands as European colonists.
At the moment, we need historians with extensive knowledge of Spain and New France to aid us in portraying these factions as accurately as possible within the limits of the game engine. All aspects of history will be of use to us(military, economic, political, religious), so do not hesitate. If you have extensive knowledge of the role these nations played in the New World, feel free to post here in the thread, or send a PM to our mod leader Kundich or myself.
Come join us as we go to the Frontier!

Would love to help as well. I am all around knowledgable of Spanish, French, and British forces as well as their Indian allies. Not to far from my house are several forts that were around during the timeframe. Particulary enjoy Rogers' Rangers and the like.

Also, one note. When sending us historical excerpts as your credentials for membership, please choose something that can't easily be found on-line or in a common textbook. If that's the case, we'll probably choose to look it up ourselves rather than get a new guy. Any responses are welcome, but don't expect to be accepted just because you can tell us the British used the Brown Bess.
Thanks to all. Let us go to the Frontier!
