Wrath of the Norsemen (5th Preview Out Now)

[Horsa]

Not sure weather we can create a thread here too but here go's.

I am pleased to annonce that Wrath of the Norsemen is no longer dead! We are now in the stages (once again) of Modding once more, our current goal is to get together a brand new preview which will get our forum back where it belongs and will hopefully up the number of fans.

As a little gift to show we are alive again we will also now show you a brand NEW unit created by the awesome Spartos.

(this is not a preview)


Hope you don't mind I added it anyway Spartos
Hof Warþær, Swedish Temple Guard

That would be great news indeed! It was a real shame it died out for "awhile".

Yes alot of time has passed and it was hard to get his mod progressing again. still no point in me moaning WotN isn't dead and thats good news.

What are your thoughts on the campaign, time-frame, map size (original/resized map) etc - the same as it was before or you'll be changing/adding/removing something?

Are you aware of the changing of the map that was happening before the death?

Anyway this is the map area


Apart from that everything you know will remain. We are simply carrying on where they left off. Of course you can be sure of minor changes in the future.

Yes, I'm aware, that's why I put the "original/resized map" in the brackets.
And it's good you're going with the resized map, since it would be much easier and quicker to finish it than the original one. Though I don't remember if any actual progress was made on the map itself, so you'd probably need a mapper (among all other kinds of modders, of course). So good luck and success! I'll be waiting for the next preview!

Progress was made. Dansk Viking is doing the basic map (I think) but once thats done we will need a mapper for finishing touches. I've asked him if he can spare a few pictures soon so we can include them in the next preview.

Awesome map I wish I knew how to map. I've tried the tutorials but I always seem to screw up! I'll get it down sooner or later though, I also want to make a scandinavian mod. Right now I'm just adding Sweden to DLV, but in the future I plan to do a map like that, but have the gameplay mechanics stay true to DLV.

Edit: hehe, I saw one of your concept art images, so awesome I made it my avatar. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comments.

[Nakharar]

i think you should talk with the last kingdom

i think you should talk with the last kingdom

About what?

[hekk]

Very good news, I was wondering where this mod went.

Had any progress been lost?

About what?

I think he means refering to lending their models and such, which is a good idea. It will make it easier in some areas and it will give you guys more to build on. You guys should be trying to get this done effectively and practically, and to make it less hard on yourselves.

So far nothing major has been lost but its safe to say we can expect something to be.

I have sent a PM to Danova a while ago but have had no reply however there are major differences between our mods and i'm worried about using units from the Last Kingdom. Instead we have recently done a deal with VLL for our mods to share certain work between each other but nothings certain yet.

I'd like to get more information about the historian-job. Please send me a PM.

Sending PM now. take a look HERE

I'm so happy to hear that kork is starting back on th your mod.

I really looking forward to playing lithuania and Sweeden =3

Thanks!
