Announcing, INDIA: TOTAL WAR

INDIA: TOTAL WAR

Welcome,


This is a new project planned for RTW: BI. The eventual goal is to have multiple campaigns, but the first version is to cover the conquest of Chandragupta Maurya.




India: The Mauryan Conquets

This mod will attempt to cover the campaigns of Chandragupa Maurya at his very beggining. He will have very little advantages and it will take skille to conquer India with him. Factions are still being researched. Bi, will work perfectly has you must conquer the "Barbarians" of India... Religion will alo work well as Most of India will be Hindu, though you can convert to Buddism and possible Janism. The units in this mod will be entirely unique as this area has been left alone from modding.


This is the genral idea for the campaign map. The western expansion is needed as the selucids were a very real threat to the Mauryans....

Why is the Macedonian Star part of the faction icon?

[Kscott]

Chilly found that symbol online....

The line thing is the "God" Asoka. Not sure if its named after the man, or the man is named after the "god".

Many historians believe Chandarupa Maurya was a commander for Alexander. Regardless he came in contact with them....

God is " " because if you know hinduism, then you would know that there is only one God, but in many forums, kinda like the trinity, but in the millions...

[Osceola]

IMO that symbol sucks, it's too cartoony, no offense meant though.

Prometheus made several Mauryan units and they all came out extremely good. Ya'll need to contact him and see if he'll either join you, or let you use those skins.

Oh and definitely look up Rajputs thread on Indian Warfare on totalwar.org.

[Kscott]

hmm.. I thought it looks great. It may not be final though....


I really doubt prom will donate units, if your out there reading reply if want to, if not then i wont ask.....


And yes i have seen that thread(Im based at the org) and im sure it will help greatly..

Dont worry about time, this mod is a long way from complete. IT is for Bi, so we are hardly pressed for time...

[Outlawstar15a2]

i dont understand something how do u develope a mod for a game that isn't out yet? when the expansion releases it will update and change the game coding you'd be starting from scratch then.

[Atheist Peace]

No you wont, BI has the same game engine. The maps are the same as well as units and almost everything. It just takes a bit of text editing to convert whatever you want to BI :wink:
