    Default Deus Vult: Northern Wars


    Hi everyone, you might have noticed or even tracked the progress of our little mod in our thread(s). The project is to re-create Northern Europe as a map in its own.

    The mod will feature many recogniseable factions, such as:

    England
    France
    Holy Roman Empire
    Denmark
    Poland
    Scotland

    The mod will also introduce players to factions they might have not played before, such as:

    Flanders
    Teutonic Order
    Lithuania
    Norway
    Sweden

    New skins for ALL faction units will be introduced into the mod. These skins are taken from the mod Deus Lo Vult and are being 'touched' up by me, with Repman's permission of course .

    Sweden has completely new skins for its units, which were re-colored by myself. Norway and Denmark have also recieved re-skinning jobs. Here's a few examples:

    Norway Mailed-troops:




    Norway Early plate-troops:



    We have a map, but it is nowhere near completion. The base map files were contibuted by Lord Condormanius and we are attempting to build the map up.



    But this is why I have come to you guys, My team and I love the game, but know very little about modding. I have done few text-edits and reskins but that is it. We need the following talents:

    Coding/scripting (we have one, he codes for his job but the game is far different than what he does).

    Mapping (In need of one BIG TIME! The mapper and I are following the tutorials but it would be nice to have a seasoned mapper show us the ropes).

    I'm afraid I've dragged us all into the deep end of the modding pool without floaties around our arms.

    IF you could lend any sort of assistance to the mod it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for reading,

    The mod team

    Looking forward to this mod. If you need a historian on the skandinavian factions/detail info armor and weapon, let me know. DLV-minimod for some detail-
    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

    I'm willing to help with anything bar modelling! Seems like you have a competant skinner so anything else you need?

    Oh shouldn't this maybe be moved to the DLV mini-mods section? Just a thought.

    Keep it up! Hopefully this will make Harry release DLV: Europa quicker to prevent competition

    Thanks for the replies, I feared people had lost interest in this mod. Unfortunantly my current team has left the project. I currently need a mapper, and a scripter/coder. Historians are also needed, I currently have Carl Von Döbeln helping out with Swedish history and general content writing (faction descriptions)

    @ Carl.
    hmmm.. looks like your from sweeden. Jeg er fra Norge. Any way, I woundring if you got the Unit description of Scandinavian units(Sweeden an Norway). They are pretty the same apart from some units.
    Armour, weapons and correct names of each unit(Not sami axemen and norwegian fuedal(mounted)knights etc)?

    Hey these textures look great. It would be cool if you could post a screenshot with them.

    I have some experience scripting but I'm a little overwhelmed with "real life" right now. I'll keep track of you guys now that I've found you and if my time frees up, I'll send you an example of my work (which I've only done for personal use so far). Good luck though, this looks like an interesting project.
