(Proposal)Bandeirantes Total war

[MarkusAntonius]

Whats up dudes i'm new and from brazil so i've grove hearing and studing about the portuguese version of the conquistadors the Bandeirantes they entered and explored the south american continent for portugal and founded the modern frontiers of brazil but they are not like the others they story is covered by sagas involving serch for gold, conquest of hostile tribes rebel slaves and exploration itself and of course many battles that i believe should became a good mod and a good total war but they story is from 1500 to 1699 and begin of 1700 when they didn't have anymore to go discover or conquest so as factions

Portuguese Colonial Brasil : Europeans

Capital São paulo
Regions Rio de janeiro and Bahia

Units Bandeirantes native mercenaries

Dutch Brazil : Europeans

Capital Olinda

Regions Maranhão and Pernambuco

Quilombo of Palmares : african slave rebels

Capital Palmares

Natives : Native Americans or indians

Everywere Beyond the coastal colonies : Tupi,guarani,je,carib,arawak and other etnicies

And Maybe France Antartique and French guiana

my idea for this mod is a gameplay of conquest and exploration between Colonial europeans, Indios the natives and african slave rebels


im sorry ive tryed to put images but they don't appared so for more information put the word bandeirantes in google to see how they were how was brazil in that time i've made this mod myself if i could and for empire but they can't edit maps and i can only know change unit models in rome and empire so i have hope that someone interest in this because it will became an awesome mod

[Grymloq]

good idea!

[Heart of Madness]

Good idea, but makers?

[MarkusAntonius]

for now the only i can do is edit the models if i had them and portraits and the ground map but create the mechanics and edit the things i didn't know yet

[ByzantineCaesar]

I'm Brazilian too and I'd love to see this mod done. It would be a nice idea to include the rest of South America (eg Inka and the Spanish colonies). Just a few historical nitpicks:

The capital of Brazil should be Salvador, Bahia. Of course São Paulo would be a developed region. Why not add Santos and Vila Rica (Ouro Preto) to the regions?

Yes, the Dutch should be added to the mod as an emerging faction in the 1640's and the capital should be Recife. What about Dutch Antilles?

About France Antartique, create an invasion script, similar to the Mongols, that French troops appear in Rio de Janeiro during the reign of King Henry II of France.

I hope some modder is interested in doing this mod! I'd love to collaborate in everything that's not modding

[MarkusAntonius]

Yes dude nice idea I'm from santos and i will be awesome see the city in the game another thing that will be awesome is the rise o zumbi and the quilombo of palmares as a playable faction because was a kind of kingdom that ruled vast regions in the northeast

[blur!]

i can help you with flags&faction symbols and shields from now,if you want,pm me

[MarkusAntonius]

yes dude thanks i would prepare some portraits too but to iniciate the project i will try to learn about mapping and unit making in med 2 because as i said i know change them in empire and rome but med 2 is diferent

[MarkusAntonius]

i have some pic to show what i have in mind

[blur!]

If you wanna start that mod,it will be hard..

What about adding a Pope-like faction for the colonies, i.e. the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Portugal and the United Provinces of Netherlands (Markus, have you ever played Third Age: TW? I'm imagining something like the Sauron faction, but no crusades/invasions. Hmmm, maybe and alternate crusade? The Bandeiras to conquer a certain settlement and allows you to recruit bandeirantes (only for Brazil)?).

EDIT: Will the map include the Spanish colonies in Argentina and Uruguay?

[MarkusAntonius]

no i've never played Third age. but i could be a good idea and the southern spanish colonies yes. i was wanted to go south to plata and patagonia. none total war reached there before i'm trying to edit the americas map but i' don't lie. i dont think i can make a mod myself alone. i think i need a Team. if we could arranje one and design each one to do something for exemple one to mapp other to edit the units other to make flags and portraits the mod will be ready soon

[ByzantineCaesar]

Any progress with this mod? Have you contacted someone who would be interested?

Best Regards,

[MarkusAntonius]

ok thanks together we can see if this project have future

[VINC.XXIII]

Yes friend, more later I will see about tribal amerindians and tribal africans for Sicilian Vespers Renaissance Era.
Maybe you could take this future guys, if you don't have better....isn't my priority for now, but I have some reworked units project's about Africa and New World.
Well not an entire roster "plug and play", but better normal maps for the textures, and some reworked weapons...
Time to time I will back here, very interesting project...

[MarkusAntonius]

thanks friend and this is the best part because the bandeirantes and conquistadors lived in renaissance and were renassentist armies lived among indians and blacks. in that time and in the conditions of the jungles here i believe they don't cared much about fashion. they mixed the european military tecnologies with the natives knowledge of here. because armors are good in battlefields but could be a problem in jungles or rivers

i have some new pics about conquistadors now

[MarkusAntonius]

And now a preview of the factions

the portuguese






Dutch West Indies Company



France Antarctique



New Spain,Viceroyalty of rio de la plata and new granada
