    Default Murica Total War - PREVIEW RELEASED! *Check first post*



    PRESENTS


    Introduction
    Kingdom of Arcane and Harahuaquai Confederacy
    Kingdom of Orleans and Kingdom of Savanah
    United Island States and Topekatan Khanate
    The Kingdom of Roanoke and Caliphate of Mangula
    The Order of the Sun
    Kingdom of Alexandeon
    Kingdom of York
    Miscellaneous and Closing

    Thank you for taking the time to look over this brief introduction of the Land of Murica that is being developed by my team, Knew World Modifications. This is the first project of atleast three (maybe four) that I would like to produce on Murica Total War. The South Eastern region of Murica is full of historical factions, newly formed republics and dark powers. What we have shown today is just a quick look over each faction that will be playable. The plan is to release individual previews for each faction, with complete histories, new units, family trees, and lots more. Please keep an eye out for more from Knew World Modifications our next preview will be on The Kingdom of Arcane, you will not want to miss it believe me!

    Thank you
    y2day

    I'm looking forward to the lore, and in how far you will change the vanilla factions.

    If you put Hungary in, make them near Ohio (Ohio has the largest Hungarian population in North America)

    Ya I think I put the inland see a little to far east. I may move it over a bit or maybe not.

    Thanks for the info, now I know where to put Hungary.


    And thanks to everyone else. I will try to update when I can. The main reason I wanted to do a project by myself is no pressure to get things done. I will most likely abandon this thing 2 or 3 times, if it ever gets finished at all. It will fill the time and be fun. I do hope to finish don't get me wrong......

    EDIT:
    OLD FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD!
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    I have been trying to piece together the world I have rolling around in my head. I'm thinking New World Total War - working title. First I was thinking - we blow ourselves back to the stone age and 5000 years later we have reached the middle ages again and the setting is America, but with geographical changes due to something (asteroid, global warming (lol), natural disasters on a very large scale... or grumpy old men like Harry Lime got bored and called down fire from the sky) idk. But that back story really doesn't fit with what i want to do. I want to basically take the current factions in the MEII-Kingdoms and move then to new starting positions on a new map based in America. Of course there will be some changes as I will not just place England in the middle of Kansas. The factions will look new but resemble strongly the vanilla factions. Backstory 2 - So then I was thinking alternate history, the new world was discovered much earlier, a safe and fast route was found and factions flooded to the new world, when a world wide disaster strikes and the west is mostly gone and what is left is uninhabitable. Over time it is soon forgotten. Of course the new world was not untouched. Now its a thousand years later. Still not quite right.....

    Back story 3 - Alternate universe? My own world. Much easier. I'm working on back stories for all factions now. Still very ruff at the moment. Work continues on the map. I have about 25 regions and some work done on the heights and ground types. GED your map lessons class has been most valuable.

    All factions are working names, mostly place holders at the moment.
    factions

    The Kingdom of Orleans



    The Kingdom of Orleans is one of the oldest kingdoms in known history. Born at the mouth of the Mighty Mizzipy it has known better days but is still a prospering and mighty kingdom. A long line of great kings have fought off the wildmen west of the Mizzipy and the encroachment of the Kingdoms to the North. Orleans once had a strong foot hold to the west and harvested the ancient trees of the Knoll Forest for their homes, but no longer. Their King Alceo was murdered at the hands of a witch who was command by the dark lords themselves, then fathered a bastard son born on the dark altar of Hela. Dreg, Alceo’s son united the wildmen under his banner and swore to the destruction of his father’s kingdom. He pushed the Kingdom back across the Mizzpy leaving the great river running red with their righteous blood. Today The Kingdom of Orleans stands sentinel on the banks of the mighty river’s eastern shore, drawing strength from their own god, waiting for the next strike from the darkness.
    (Spain)

    The Kingdom of Arcane

    The Arcane Empire was founded by Dreg the Terrible, the bastard son of Alceo the King of Orleans. He was conceived on the same night of the great King's untimely death. His mother a dark witch, stole into the kings chambers, poisoned the king and took his seed at the moment of his last breath. As prophecy foretold he was delivered on the night of a blood moon, deep in the dark woods of Knoll at the altar of the dark goddess Hela. His mother died during the ordeal and he was raised by the wildmen of the wood. As foretold by the dark gods he united the rambling of wildmen tribes in blood. On his eighteenth birthday he founded the city of Knoll which he made his capitol. His life was spent raping, torturing, and killing his father's people. His half brother Leon, King of Orleans died defending the last outpost of his kingdom west of the Mizzipy at the hands of his brother Dreg in the town of Arksaw. Dreg was mortally wounded in the fight and died at the age of Twenty eight three days later. The Kingdom of Arcane is now lead by his great grandson Koeth. Koeth like his father before him was baptized in the blood of a virgin on the altar of Hela and sworn on the crown of Dreg to destroy the Empire of Orleans and all who oppose the will of their dark Goddess.
    (Lithuania)

    The Order of the Son

    Founded by the King of York in 816. The Order of the Sun was charged to spread the truth faith of the Creator among the Red Men. By 820 they were ordered to take up arms during the Indian War. With their fellow believers they drove the Indians (that had not turned to the true faith) back across the Great Divide. They were also instrumental to the taking of the city of Sol. After the war was at an end King Richard IV returned to his kingdom in the east, leaving the Order’s Grand Master to lord over the holy lands surrounding Sol. A hundred years later the Order still rules these lands of the Creator and guards the roads to the Shrines on the shores of the Creators Sea. There is some discontent within the ranks as the former Grand Master Harold opened trade talks with some of the tribes to the west and for the first time in 80 years Red Men walk the cobbled streets of Sol. Harold has met an untimely death in a hunting accident and the Marshal of the Guard has taken the mantle of Grand Master. Now as new Grand Master will you keep the piece with the heretic Red Nation or continue the Holy War your Order was charged with so long ago? Be cautious with your decision as the Rusks to the North and Roma to your south wait for signs of weakness. Sol is a great jewel that any King or Emperor would love to hold.

    Now if you bothered to read all of that, just letting you know it is all still a very big wip. The faction histories are very ruff. I know they sound like a fantasy novel. lol No worries, no magic in this mod, just a bunch of superstition. I'm up in the air on what I am going to do. This is really just an idea I had. Its either this or Wheel of Time. I know a project like this will take a very long time since I plan to do most of the work myself. I don't know if anyone would be interested to play something like this but it will fill my time and be fun creating a new world. This is a place to post ideas and this ones mine. Don't know if I will ever finish such a big project but I will post updates from time to time if anyone is interested.

    Interesting Idea Y...

    Though I would suggest more advanced (future) version of a Pangaea world. Or how about Rifts like?

    Thanks everyone, and I might contact you cedric and others that have offered to help when the time comes.

    Sub. I am thinking of redoing the map. The pangaea world is an interesting idea. Not sure what Rifts is? I haven't done too much work on it to change it, so before I go any futher with the map I will concider a few options. I have about 40 regions working in game. I can change the world in photoshop easy without having to redo the code work. I would rather do it now before I get to far along.

    Did a pangea map but didn't really like it. I like my original idea using North America as a base. I redid it and like the new look better than the old. Will work on making the new version playable.
