Paleolithic Wars

[Swagger]

This mod started a few months ago as a Portuguese Only project.
It would be a fantasy-realistic based on the Stone Age (and aproximate time frame)


It was supposed to be a mini-mod wich would add the following features:


3 factions:

- Broknagars
- Mungus
- Naisans


New Map done by Boicote (who created 1143) based on the layout of Iceland


Complete new set of buildings and ancillaries and Quotes


Capital's feature:

the models for the ordinary towns will be only villages but you'll have all buildings available (though some require others to be already constructed to be available), it will work like the apaches in the America's

only the capitals (3 in the game) will have wooden fences around it, and some special buildings

the capitals will be something like a stronghold


4 units: (all factions have the same roster, though the stats will be different)

-Clubmen
-Rock Thrower
-Spearmen
-Archer


New 2D artwork done by me

Informations:

Green - almost done (some parts are still ''to do'')

Red - Not Yet done, we need help

Orange - Done

[Swagger]

good


we've a little set of buildings (out of my mind):

-Shaman's Tent (shaman will be the tribe (=faction) leader, though the name ''Shaman'' may be changed)

-Hunter's Tent (missile units)

-Warband's Hut (melee)

-Barn (food storage wich increases population and health)

-Fields (farms)

-Bushes Plantation (another food production)

Well being an archaeology student (with an interest in the mesolithic, but still):

I suggest these "houses" (change the names to whatever you like):

• Big Tent (kinda like the town center, the main tent of the settlement)
• Fireplace (the actually "town center" something that gives plus stats to population and happiness)
• Shaman's Tent (happiness bonus)
• Hunting Grounds (unit production and food bonus)
• Huts (just a couple of more, giving population bonus)

(btw, since this is the Paleolithic you cannot have farms and such )
(but on that note wars are unrealistic in the Palaeolithic are unrealistic so you might as well permit yourself some liberties)

For units I suggest:

• Spear Throwers
• Fighters (only real melee unit)
• Archers
• Rock Throwers
• Boomerang Throwers

hmm.. something like Town Hall for more law and public order?

Already In

Nice Suggestion

(btw, since this is the Paleolithic you cannot have farms and such )

i wrote this in the main post:

the models for the ordinary towns will be only villages but you'll have all buildings available (though some require others to be already constructed to be available), it will work like the apaches in the America's

meaning that farms and such would be one of the latest buildings be be available (maybe after some event like ''agriculture invented'')



before farms are allowed, you'll have bush plantations (food gathering) and maybe some fishing nets

(but on that note wars are unrealistic in the Palaeolithic are unrealistic so you might as well permit yourself some liberties)

this is a fun based mod, so we're allowing ourselfs some unrealistic (though somehow historical) 'fantasies'

For units I suggest:

• Spear Throwers
• Fighters (only real melee unit)
• Archers
• Rock Throwers
• Boomerang Throwers

it's exactly the same exept for the boomerang throwers


but it would require lots of animations and hard work

so i must cross it down

[Bwian]

Surely a boomerang thrower could just use the javelin animaiton set? Just make a new missile.

[Arch-hereticK]

Now you guys have to make kangaroos and boomerangs. seriously

[Swagger]

boomerangs are supposed to hit, and come back in a circular trajectory

it's would be stupid if they go like javelins

Now you guys have to make kangaroos and boomerangs. seriously

again, no boomerangs or animals (specially kangoroos for god sake)


boomerangs were mostly used in Austraulia

and this mod focus on Eurasia

(Naisans will look like asians, Broknagars will be european (neanderthals probably) and Mungus will be black people)


the map will be a island (iceland) for gameplay issues

[theStig]

The boomerang was a hunting weapon used in Eurasia, but that aside

[Swagger]

yes i know, but they got famous in australia

[Lebre]

We want to portrait in this mod a very primitive human, were their weapons were very rawand basic, lets call it a dawn of war.

we are keeping that small list for the moment, as this is and will be a mini-mod

in the future who knows, we might upgrade it, but for the time being we are staying to what we previously decided, so no boomerang thrower.

[Swagger]

well said lebre


though new buildings and ancillaries ideas are most welcomed

[Horsa]

As a map, may I suggest Europe before it became flooded... Doggerland etc

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The red shows what would of been land.

This would be really awesome to see.

[Arch-hereticK]

So, where does noah fit in this? Lol

[Horsa]

So, where does noah fit in this? Lol

He built an boat...

Anyway, that was the middle east(Noah), it wasn't Europe.

[Lebre]

The problem with the map (even though its a good idea) is that it brings a small resemblence with the already used in med2.

we want something entirely new, thus iceland,

btw i dont know if this was mentioned already but the map will have around 40 settlements

[Swagger]

the europe map is great, but there's only 3 factions...


iceland map is better, becouse we can resize it (make various tries) to make it perfect for only 3 factions

[dragonsign]
