The Winter King: Total War - the Warlord Trilogy by Bernard Cornwell

**Tywysog** · July 17, 2009, 06:18 AM

I recently finished reading a fantastic series of books by Bernard Cornwell, the Warlord Chronicles. It's set in fifth and sixth century Britain and follows the story of the warlord Arthur and his followers, fighting against enemy Britons, Saxons etc.

The trilogy is absolutely brilliant (I'm sure a lot of you guys have read some of Cornwell's work) and I thought: this could be an excellent setting for a Total War mod.

Unfortunately, I suffer from a terrible medical condition known as being awful at anything remotely to do with mapping/scripting or modding in general which, could, admittedly, be a bit of a set-back. So, I'd be more of an ideas man/researcher; I'd be able to give info on family trees, factions etc. but would need a dedicated team to actually...do all the work.

So, would anyone be interested in joining the project? Mappers, coders etc.?

Lol, I thought you actually mean Federack of Bohemia, the Winter King of Thirty Years' War.

I read the first book, great read. There is an Arthurian Total War game that comes close...

Hi. I have just reread the trilogy, wonderful books!! In fact, there is already a mod about that time, the Arthurian Total War. I'm trying to install it, but I'm having several problems...
