Bringing a modern war back in time

[aaaa]

Hi there,

I thought it would be pretty cool if there was a mod where something like WW1 was put back in time to the medieval era.

So instead of using machine guns and tanks, the different nations use Knights and bombards. And instead of a tank, perhaps Britain could use elephants.

I thought the idea was pretty good and I have been messing around with Medieval 2 for a bit to try and do this.

But is there any interest in such an idea? And would anone want to help?

I bet ill get flamed alot for this...

The factions would be:

(triple entente)

Britain

France

Russia

(Central Powers)

Germany

Austria

The Ottoman Empire

Italy

(Others)

The Bolsheviks - at war with Russia

Morocco - at war with France

Egypt

Greece

Spain

Portugal


And some others. Sorry I forgot to post this in the first thread.

I don't realy get it.

I can see what you are saying but I don't know if anyone would be willing to do it...

yea i guess so, but i just like the concept of mixing to eras in time and seeing the outcome. Back then the leaders of the world would of had to fight, so the President of France would be a general.

i mean it could just be a remapping of the campaign map with some added events for now, and i dont see the harm in trying such an idea.

Events such as The Invention of the Tank could be replaced by Britain adapting African Elephants for War instead - they had some African colonies back then. And the units could be recycled from the Timiurds.

its basically WW1, but set in the medieval era. And in Spain they would have the Spanish Flu in 1918, so if you play as Spain your country would be under alot of plague.

Basically, you want modern countries, modern alliances, modern diplomacy, and modern land positions/towns etc. But in a medieval setting? Yeah, sounds interesting. Not sure if anyone would take it on though.

you dont even need unit makers for this, just a coder/scripter...and a mapper

you could learn taht yourself

no one was born as a modder, we all spent and are spending time on tutorials when we wanted or want to learn something new of modding

yes i know, i began work on it.

i was asking tho that if such a mod was made would anyone really be interested in playing it :p

like whats the point of a mod if no one is gonna play it.

The first things you mod are often for you. Not for other players.

Improving the vanilla medieval game is the base ; add regions, changes scripts, names, etc... then add a faction, work on textures, interface, etc. It's a long ritual way, but by triumphing of always bigger challenges, you learn a little bit all the times. Good luck !
