One question : you are a member famous on the TATW sub-forum as troll and fake-creator, so have you some basic modding skills ? Because working on a mod is not having good ideas.
Have a nice day.

this vague, need a whole lot more before suggesting as a proposal & I am sorry to inform you but there are plenty of mods which do what you,

but I personally belief there is too much focus on making mods that are drastically different than others
"don`t do that mod it has been done before"
so with that logic: don`t go out with your girlfriend it has been done before! don`t have dinner it has been done before! if that is the rule the human race might as well have packed it in 2000 years ago!

mods are like people we are all human, many of us are more alike than different but everyone of us is unique! to be able to create in the context of your reality is true creative inspiration not going on some "mental" crusade to find a totally different & new approach (which is a good thing too! don`t get me wrong) but doing something already done a million times! your way & being successful that is an accomplishment!
no this proposal is nothing new in itself! but like everything else we do it is a "fresh" step towards our daily lives!
so good luck with this!

there is no point to have two modding teams consisting of 2-3 members doing almost same thing separetly

they are most likely to fail, and even if they succed it would be slow progress, if they join up, they can do more, better and faster!

thats way the unique mods are wanted

Maybe if you informed which mods do Exactly the same he will join with them. And some which you might be thinking of such as EBII and Gathering storm dont do the same at all IMO

my post was answer to druvatar and his wish for more same mods

and as for the guy, he could join either De Bello Mundi or Mare Nostrum and help them finish this mod, I'm sure they would appreciate any help

**SigniferOne** · November 22, 2010, 11:56 AM

No, he couldn't join Paeninsula Italica?

actually i intend to do a mod were it is during the legionary cohort era not the comistras and late empire, but after the military reform to legionary cohorts, and the factions that i will have are

1. THE ROMANS
2. sparta
3. athens
4. macedonia
5. syria
6. carthage
7. gaul
8. germania
9. egypt
10. carthage
11. nubia
12. spain
i have already started on imagining the units for the romans, Sparta and athens, and no unit roster will be the same, including the barbarian factions. the map will be from spain, gaul germany to wastern syria. i intend to be the mapper in this mod but i would like someone to make the units, and someone for events and coding. i do not intend to let this mod die unless i do not receive any help those that have wished me luck thanks

now does anyone know were i could find a mapping tutorial on how to make borders, place cities, and what naught because i am driven, the unit rosters for athens rome and sparta there rosters are broken up into 3 catagories, 1st tier 2nd tier and 3rd tier, now before i get any actual work done on the other factions i want people to know that im not going to be put down and i am going to pull through on my fair share of work, and i would really be greatful if people would help me.

Just a hint, Spain was created in 1516A.D. or 1479A.D. by dinastic union (in case you want to consider that)

**FOR GONDOR** · December 01, 2010, 11:33 AM

i mean the barbarians that inhabited the now a day spain also they have Spanish in rome total war

**Hrobatos** · December 01, 2010, 01:55 PM

under Spain it mean spanish tribes, do Hispania would be more accurate name

I mean in same manner someone could put Ilyria and call it Yugoslavia

**Lebre** · December 01, 2010, 03:50 PM

The name Spain is a corruption of Hispania so the later is the correct word to be utilized.
You can for example call them 'tribes of hispania' since iberia wasn't neither completly celtic nor celtiberian, etc etc

Its just that I find extremely amusing when people say 'The romans conquered spain', meaning portugal wasn't lol
