Story campaigns

[BURNY26]

Ever since napoleons arrival , ive been thinking about the fact that there isnt (not at my knowledge) a mod that provides the campaign of great leaders such as djenghis ,saladin ,lionheart,joan of arc in m2tw or rome format (with the exception of alexander)

How come? is it impossible to do?

I think it is quite easy to pull off . The only thing that you need is the map ,and AI from a big mod such as SS or Chivalry II and reuse it ,while the main focus of the mod team would lay in research .

Would this be doable and would their be support?

[IVIarkI2I]

Full support here mate I guess its not hard

some proposals:

Robin Hood /relativly small area not so much work
Jean de Arc/I would be happy to model some woman finaly
Eduard the III/seems very good for campaign a lot of batles in normandy
Gengish Khan/seems quite big area and hes character is starting out of europe more hard to do
King Baldwin/a lot of fights in holy lands
Saladin/quite big area but much more iterestign story
Ján Žižka/hussite main general, this would be very interesting
Matúš Čák/Hungarian rebel general fighting againts crown and pope
Vytautas/deafeated teutonic order in battle for grunwald

and much more ideas can be written but theres milion names to come with

[Demont]

*Supports!*

Would be interesting.

[BURNY26]

Maybe also make some videos , but THIS would almost be impossible i think . Or are there any programs that would allow the same sort of quality as in napoleon?

-it is joan not jean . jean is mascular .
-the map of AUH could be used maybe ofr the campaign of djenghis
-robin hood is fictional
-Vytautas: just one battle? or campaign?

I think Joan of Arc would be best for starters . Maybe some sort of cooperation with the hundred years war.
And BC for Saladin.

-am sorry for Jean
-good idea with AUH
-robin hood isnt fictional , there was a lot of robin "hoods" during middleages we can pick one most interesting story
-whole campaign , he was great king and he conquered a lot of teritories

I would like to see Joan or "hood" campaign becouse of low numbers of units and we can do pretty detailed map of english region

[Russian Gondor]

Very easy. Get units from the games. Make a map. Pack em all up as campaigns. And voi'la. You are done. It is obvious you have received this from Age of Empires.

[BURNY26]

-no the map can be used of a mod
-the idea is of MTW

now,now not to seem to point at incomplete and ignorant refferences but
first you forgot to include "DLV" and "PRO DEO ET REGE` (the hands down best map out there!) and also some awesome maps in development Like "Patria Libera`s map, L`Outrememer`s map and mine
if such a project is to be embarked upon. make sure you understand you probably will have too borrow something from these projects as well since this is a "pirate" mod

@iviark: Do you think iviark that we could find a lot of info about this Hood? But to me it seems not TW. They would rob the rich ,but epic battles?

@druvatar:Im just throwing ideas ,it is not likely that im going to start tomrrow with this .

mm there are some well known Iwill bet some guy in TW is able to find out a lot of thigs about him itsnot like robbing rich its more fighting with local feudals, with you rebel army would be funny to see it ofc half way its more fantasy as historical thing, if you want 100 historical we can go with Joan de Arc

@ dru it wasnt funny

[BURNY26]

maybe we shall give it a spin after pl mark? using the map, ai and maybe some other enthousiasts of the team ?

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

@Burny26 I actually think it is a good idea! I am was just pertubed by your mapping refferrence the projects you mentioned are great! I was just hoping that people regnonize some of the other awesome projects and quit with this faulse inferred believe that all mods must follow in thier shadow! if that is the case I might as well stop working on my mod and development of PL should stop in fact another mod need not be done!

[BURNY26]

so if a story campaign mod would ever be tried ,i can count on you ?

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

ya I would help

[BURNY26]

good ill make a note of it . Any other voluteers or enthousiasts?

[Blablahead]

-it is joan not jean . jean is mascular .

Actually, to be technical, it's Jeanne in French.

But anyways, this sounds really cool. Another possible campaign could be the rise of Islam, maybe following Khalid ibn al-Walid...

[BURNY26]

Je sais bien que cest jeanne en français mais en anglais il faut parler de joan et ça n'a rien à voir avec le sujet de ce thread.

I think it is more important to start first with famous generals known by everybody , to attract twc members . Afterwards there could be further expansions towards the lesser known generals and warlords of history.

A lot of people would prefer working in the mod team of joan of arc than in the mod team of Khalid ibn al-Walid.

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

for it to work the mod will need a to adjust time scale like 12 turns per year with proper aging. it will need one faction leader for the duration of the campaign.
set up the folder Burny and we will begin? if you are ready? if not keep that in mind and because of the way the engine works, in each release the focus can only be on 3-4 generals (campaigns)
#1 Caeser, jeanne of arc`, genghis khan
#2 Tokugawa, William the conquer, Sitting Bull
#3 and so on
follow?

[BURNY26]

Heck im ready but the only tasks ive ever done are research and unit-making/modelling (this im still learning btw) so if you know some decent scripters or coders it would come in handy .

But i think it would be best to focus first on one great character ,to centralise the few resources we have for the moment.
Going intercontinental requieres coordination between several mods which might well complicate things a lot .

First we should decide the first ruler/general whose lifepath we will recreate .
Second the format ,rome or m2tw?
Third decide which mod is most appropriate
Fourth ,decide to which extent we will copy stuff from the mod ,like units ,traits and ancilliaries, maps(since we arent going to use entire maps of europe or asia , so we can enlargen the map focus on a certain area)

Since m2tw is in my opinion the best format to mod regarding grandeur , i also suggest we take a medieval legend. Caesar or other roman era generals will follow after the release of EBII.
My candidates: Joan of Arc , Saladin , Lionheart, El Cid,Wallace

EDIT: since scotland and england are already finished of PL , why not start with Wallace and make this some sort of PL series? great publicity

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

candidates for map:
Joan of Arc campaign (ChC map or another)
Salidan Campaign (L~Outremer)
Lionheart campaign ( Patria Libera or kingdom of the scots if his crusades are focused on L`Outremer)
El Cid campaign (Chc or Reconquinsta~ German one)
Walle Campaign ( Patria Libera or kingdom of the scots)
each campaugn is actually gonna have to be a mod unto itself
just like early campaign~Jean of Arc
high campaign~Salidan
late campaign~ Lionheart
understand what I am saying?
