Come on, Read the Thread (The new TOTAL WAR)

**Mk2342** · March 09, 2010, 03:46 AM

Okay, what I am about to say is probably going to make some people say that I'm crazy, some ignore me forever, and some other crazy people might just help.

The mod name would probably be either Total War (explained in a second) or World Total War (Got an idea now?).

Okay, if this mod was to be made, it would make the entire world would be availible for conquering. Yes, from the Great Plains in North America, to the Amazon in South America, to the Pyramids in Egypt, Hadrian's wall in Britain (Non-existent when the campaign starts), the steppes of Asia, the . Get the point?

I cannot help make much of the mod, so I will need a lot of people to help me (please?). This is also my first mod. Before you say that I am way way way in over my head, most other things have already been covered.(I know its a terrible excuse) The things I can do are things like simply mod the descr and export_descr files. I will probably provide more information later, but now I just want to see who would help me.

I like the idea but I don't think its possible because there is a limit on how big the map can be and how many provinces you can have

**Mk2342** · March 10, 2010, 04:29 AM

Oh well. How about the whole eastern hemisphere? (I've seen some pretty large maps.)

You could do it perhaps, but the map will lack in quality, not to mention pathfinding would be screwed up

**Mk2342** · March 10, 2010, 02:50 PM

God, what to do now! I could have a large terrible messed up map, or a small one that is really good. Then again, how bad would it be? If its not too bad it could still work.

**Spartan198** · March 10, 2010, 03:12 PM

All in all, your vision probably to most likely won't work.

**Mk2342** · March 10, 2010, 04:28 PM

*chokes and dies* Ah well.

**Roman_Man#3** · March 10, 2010, 06:11 PM

If you're serious about making mods make a small one to prove to people that you can actually stick with something, and keep progressing to making bigger and bigger mods.

**Spartan198** · March 11, 2010, 11:03 AM

Yeah, I'm not trying to discourage you or anything, but the scope of your idea just seems way too huge.

**Finch** · March 11, 2010, 11:07 AM

ideas are nice but doing it is really complicated

**cpdwane** · March 30, 2010, 01:45 PM

Isn't there a mod for Medieval 2 total war that includes the entire world? I think it's on the download secion of this website rather then in the forum, but I'm certain one exists. The trouble is, I don't think it's very "finished" at the moment, but maybe that's a good thing for you since you could help them out. You never know...

**TOLAROscipii** · April 03, 2010, 04:11 AM

yes the mod is Eras Total Conquest
it is accurate as in there is way more water than land
since the map can only be so big accuracy needs to be sacrificed for game play
so there needs to be way more land than water

you can create a rome total war mod with a world map
the scale will be smaller than the m2tw one but it should work

the problem now is making a great mod with very few regions
199 land tiles is not much for the entire world
but its not impossible

one idea I thought about would be to use forts in the less important areas
like small islands

the first step to get this rolling would be to create the map
well that's what I would do
so that anyone who might be interested in helping could install this new map to see if it would be worth their time to help improve it

It would look much like risk

I am VERY suspicous if it'd be even possible to fit the whole world map in a file of 1021*1021 pixels.

no really, it's impossible.

its not
really its not
on someones grave I do not know and who is already dead so it will not hurt them it is not

Have you had past mapping experience in RTW ?

The amount of water compared to land would first of all give landmass crash.

not to mention you just can't get the whole world jammed in one file

**TOLAROscipii** · April 05, 2010, 09:53 AM

I know its possible for M2TW
Here is the map
can not be 100% sure about RTW

EDIT
although it may look funny
I wont believe it can not be done till its tried and failed
might need to change the land to water ratio to keep it from crashing
but that would not be a problem for any mapper
and you are correct I am not a RTW mapper

How could solving a landmass crash be easy ?

**Frederich Barbarossa** · April 05, 2010, 02:14 PM

If your map provinces are very big it can be less than 200 regions which is the limit!

**Tenerife_Boy** · April 13, 2010, 03:40 AM

there is a mod like this yet it´s for M2TW and believe me, if don´t got a strong pc you will get problems and think on this one second, World campaign would be boring at the end thats why I prefer provincial campaigns
