    Default Elba: Total War

    I've begun work on a mod that will centre around the small, italian island of Elba. Unfortunately my modding abilities only extend to modifying the .txt files so any assistance would be highly appreciated, (especially anyone who can create a whole new campaign map from nothing). I would need people who can...

    Why Elba? Aside from Napoleons temporary exile, I don't know the significance. ?

    My family lives there, so it holds particular significence to me, and I was doing some research on it and found out that there were a lot of battles over the ownership of the island.

    how would the island elba be in focus? would it be elba: tw's Rome (capture it and win), or will only elba be in the campaign map? Seems to me like a historical battle rather than a campaign

    Sorry, but I think Elba is physically too small for a whole TW campaign.

    I've thought about that and I've made a provisional map_regions.tga



    I'm thinking about adding the west coast of Italy on the right hand side of the map to get overt the land mass problem.

    how would the island elba be in focus? would it be elba: tw's Rome (capture it and win), or will only elba be in the campaign map? Seems to me like a historical battle rather than a campaign
    Provisionally it is just elba but I think the west coast of italy may be added.

    Numidia, Gaul and Iberia at the same time? and the other 17 factions? sounds weird... but your map is really nice

    lol! Elba doesnt have that many towns as you have provinces does it? A mini-campaing, should be played on unitsizes small, right?

    Good luck!

    Thanks, and it does have that many provinces though you wouldn't believe it to look at.

    EDIT: I've worked out how to do good faction symbols!
