    Default Wrath of the Norsemen: Recruiting


    I'm posting this to inform everyone that we at this moment are great need of new members. We are getting closer to a release then ever before, but there are certain areas that need working on first. Our team is only small and we need more willing workers! The mod certainly won't be dying because of it, but if we don't get the modders we need it will continue to push the release later and later... So now is your chance. Even if you don't now how to mod, we can still find uses for you.

    But what do you get from helping us? Firstly, it gets the mod released earlier. Secondly, you will get access to our development forums, and thirdly you will get access to download our latest alpha releases of the mod!

    Here's a list of what we need.

    * Writers
    This requires no modding skills, but does require some spare time and a decent grasp on history. For this you will be writing traits, building descriptions, ancillaries, historical events, faction descriptions and unit descriptions amongst other things. We are looking for as many people as we can to do this, because the more writing that's done, the better.

    * Model Creators
    We currently need more modellers. We are in need of people to create strat map models. We also need people who will be willing to create helmets and weapons amongst other things which can be used for soldiers on the battlefield.

    * Text Editors
    We are looking for anyone who is willing to do one or all of these things:
    * Add the choice for factions to change their religion from Paganism to Christianity at a certain point .
    * To implement the Rus' as an occurring faction.
    * To help in the implementation of traits and ancillaries.
    * To help in implementing new units into both the battles and campaign.
    * Adding mercs and AOR units to the campaign.
    Amongst other things as they arise.

    * Skinners
    We are still creating units, so any help with the skins is very welcome. If you know your way around unit creation as well, then even better!

    * Video Creators
    People who are willing to download the alpha and create videos. Not much more needs to be said really. It would be good if you are able to show us some of your previous work though.

    * 2D Artists
    Art is still an area that needs a little more work. We are looking for people to create interfaces amongst other things. Also, anyone interested in promotional art like signatures and wallpapers is very welcome. It would be good if you are able to show us some of your previous work.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If your interested in helping us out, please post in this thread or contact Víkingr by PM.
    If you may be able to help us in another way, please still post in this thread.


    Thanks for your time!

    I'd like to help with history on Gaels if I may. Have a decent amount of knowledge on it, and what I don't know I'll certainly help to look into. Got a good copy of MacBain's etymological dictionary on Gaelic languages too, if you're going with Gaelic names for units. My Old Irish isn't that great but I imagine I can manage most things that may be needed.

    Hi there.

    As far as history based information, such as names, map locations, cities/castles and feuding factions during the time period of your mod, theres a nice book available which covers a lot of this kinda information that would be useful to your mod called. It's called "A brief history of the Vikings" by Jonathen Clements.

    I would be happy to provide you with important locations and names used at the time if that would be any help to you.

    Im quite familiar with adding regions and allotting factions to the map, also fairly confident with the export_descr_buildings and units files. So if you would be needing any help in those areas I would be happy to contribute.

    Yeah I got a fair bit of time on my hands, so I could dedicate myself to helping you guys in whatever ways I can. My girlfriend is also good with modding so you will be getting two people for one if you know what I mean.

    I have a spare hard drive with a clean copy of medieval 2+kingdoms on it so it can be used to experiment on. I would personally love to add the regions to the maps and set that kinda stuff up for you with the strat file etc. Just tell me what you need and I'll do my best.

    PM me with details if your still interested.

    Kind regards.

    Well, I'd love to help out with the history, especially since I know a lot about Denmark, but it seems you guys have enough historians.

    For example: King Canute, a Danish king, started a invasion at England in 1015, and by 1030, he was King of Norway, Denmark, England, and some of the Swedes. Withing 15 years, he became the leader of most vikings.
    That information is valuable especially for AI scripting, so around that time you'd want the Danish to start taking control a little bit, and as soon as he's dead, the whole thing splits up, like what happened with Alexander the Great.

    Just contact me if you need help with Kings, attributes of characters, or certain conquests. I'd be very, very happy to help.

    LoL, what can I say, she is gifted, I'm a lucky bugger hehe. My m8 next door said the same thing when he found she could mod. It's one thing to have a girl friend who actually plays the game, but to mod it too is just lucky on my behalf.

    I replied to your PM.

    lol, Calm down Beiss...

    @Orokil:
    We really wouldn't have any work to give you. Forum is already stocked with all the Historical info we currently need.

    But if we do find we need more Historians, i'll PM you.

    You are making no sense at all, but I for one think it would be cool to have Norse speech in the mod.
