Batavia Total war - [Continued]

[Miroslav Klose]

Maybe they don't know their own history! Or maybe they don't know of the proud ancient tribes. Maybe they now their history only from 1568, at the start of the 80 years war...

Well, the average Dutch knowledge of their history isn't that great, in my own class half the people don't even know when the 80 years war started, or when our country was occupied by the Romans (someone said between 500 B.C. and 800 A.D. wtf! And someone else said Charlemagne was a Greek general).

The Lower Lands were inhabited by Germanic tribes and Celtic influenced ones in the period Batavia TW covers, though there will be a campaign with the Romans too. Good you as a (where are you from?) knows something about Dutch history.

They know their History well, but our nation wasn't that dominant in these times. So most Dutch members (again, be ashamed!) help people in other ideas...
Im (with another few guys) are the only dutch people who work on such idea...

don't worry, some dutch guys decide that they will be better presented as conquerors at the sea... 1500 years afterwards....

[Valkar]

Yeah i think there will soon start some good mods featuring the Netherlands in the Golden age (you are my hero Strategos Lykos, you are together with me the only ones who putted the Dutch in a mod!).

We are trying to develop a mod for the netherlands in 80 years war, but we just started, only got the regions. We need a lot of people to help, mainly because it's only the guy that came up with it and me and I can't mod. Just stumbled upon it when looking for a mod about the low countries. Got my own idea too of low countries in the middle ages with the county's of holland, flanders and the duchy of brabant etc.

[Valkar]

It also disappoints me how few Dutch people offer their service for a mod featuring their own history...
I have Irishguy, Glorfindel and Chocoabom (thanks guys) but no other Dutchmen wants to help...
I think they must shame themselfs... We dutchmen are known for our Nationalistic ways, but i do not see much of that on this forum

The Dutch are especially nationalistic when it comes to soccer
I don't think they're that nationalistic, (well at least I'm not really). Most people like the queen and the royal house (they suck though).

You're team is pretty large, considering that it's only a minor modification. And most Dutch (we're the exceptions) don't have modding skills (just like everywhere on the globe). You've got three already, much more you'll hardly find.

[Cinuz]

Really really interesting, i'm looking forward to this mod!

Both the campaigns sounds interesting!!

Anyway I wish you a good work and a good luck this looks fantastic!

PS: may i suggest you to take a look here? http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157555 in this thread there are some interesting skins, like the germanic swordsmen one!

[Spike]

Never think Batavia Tw as "minor" modification. They gonna put some entirely new factions to give ultra realistic set... And small map means ! 52 turns per year for realistic set!

[Miroslav Klose]

It's not really small, the map is indeed focusing on the Lower Lands, but also parts of Saxony and Germany are added and there are plenty of regions. New factions, units, buildings and concepts are added also.

[Valkar]

Jup... But i need to work more on faction previeuws etc.. Than after that the real job begins...

[Valkar]

BTW i see that my support has growed in these weeks! Thank you all, i try not to dissapoint you!
Jorisofholland, do you have some time left? maybe you can help me, partime or fulltime!

Unfortunately not (if I did, I would've offered it already). Which engine will you be using, Rome, BI or Alex?

[Miroslav Klose]

We are using BI I thought, though I'm not entirely sure...

Compared with other mods, Batavia is quite minor, from what I've read. But perhaps I'm mistaken.

I'll do a request as quick as possible! but my english is far from formal

I could give you a little help with that, if you need me to.

[Calisthenis of Dyrrachium]

I've joined as well. So make that 4. However I'm not Dutch.
And what engine is it going to be on?

[Valkar]

Version 1.0 is for RTW 1.5, version 2.0 is for BI

[cpdwane]

I'm really pleased you guys are making such fast progress I think the real testing point will be with the map, but I know i can't wait to see it!

I would have volunteered with the skinning and text editing already, if it hadn't have been for the fact I'm working on two mods at the moment. However, if there is any text editing (I'm experienced at editing the EDU and DMB) that you need helping out with, drop me a PM and i might be able to help you, depending on how busy i am.

[Valkar]

Thanks!
Do you have some experience in Campaign mapping(a small part) and Campaign Coding? We could really use your help!
