Planet War Campaign Released!

[Christonikos]

May I make some questions?
What's going on with the religions-cultures?
BTW, these huge minotaur hoplites look so terrifyinng. I really like their shield symbol. But, what cavalry units will the minotaurs have? Or won't they have any?

Cultures:

I set up the cultures based on the portraits (not done yet). I will add one culture (copy of Eastern European) to divide Cerolean and Vulgarian.

Human(Byz): Humans
Cerolean(EE): Ceroleans, Cyanne
Vulgarian(EE): Vulgaria
Desert(SE): Aridia, Boorania
Tropical(ME): Sauria, Dinonia, Nausaka
Outlander(NE): Brutland, Kingdom of Gall, Goblins, Minotaurs, Cryptic Empire
Portrait
Pyramid(Meso): Horus, Anubis, Yetia, Abominia, Terrans, Avia, Atraco, Simia, Scorp

Religions:

I will set up the religions like this. (also not done yet)

Slateism: Humans
Moon God: Ceroleans, Minotaur, Vulgaria, Goblins, Cryptic Empire, Boorania
Sun God: Cyanne, Aridia, Sauria, Dinonia, Nausaka, Brutland, Kingdom of Gall
Pyramid: Horus, Anubis, Yetia, Abominia, Terrans, Avia, Atraco, Simia, Scorp

The Pyramid culture/religion is is shared by all factions influenced by the Scorp(based on the movie Predator. The Scorp navigated most of the planet soon after the different species dispersed. They influenced the development of the culture and religion of several species. These factions now build pyramids and practice the religion of the Scorp. The scorp also gifted these species with their facemask helmets. The generals and captains of the "pyramid" species wear these metal facemasks in battle.

They following factions do not have any cavalry units: Minotaur, Terrans, Atraco, Yetia, Abominia, and Scorp.

Since the human faction is based on Ancient Greece and Rome with a few medieval units, I don't plan to give them chariots. However there are two factions based on Ancient Egyptian Gods. Both the "Horus" and "Anubis" factions have chariots. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=428039

[Christonikos]

So, is there any possibilities of Jihads and/or Crusades?

[Smolka]

Jihads could work if the "Pyramid Religion" is a re-named Islam. This could create cooperation among the "Pyramid" factions. However, there won't be any Crusades. I removed the pope because I want all factions to be able to attack all other factions freely. I don't want the Scorp telling the factions that follow their religion not to attack one another.

[Christonikos]

Out of curiosity, I thought there was a limit of 31 factions in mods.

I think so, but I just replaced all the existing factions (including Normans and Saxons).

Thank you for pointing this out Christonikos. I just figured out how to add more factions to this mod.

Faction #24: Kingdom of Dune

This faction is based on the "Sand People" or "Tusken Raiders" from Star Wars.
Their heads are part of a free model from www.scifi3d.com.
Credit for the heads goes to Darren Robert Foster.
This faction is using the same symbol as Aridia, but with different faction colors.
Along with Kingdom of Gall and Cyanne, this faction is unplayable in the campaign.
Only one unit so far.

Wow, this mod looks unbelievable. The amount of work you've put into this is obvious and well done. The custom models are vey impressive and the story is both creative and interesting. Keep up the good work please, as I will definitely enjoy playing it.

Edit: I personally like Gaian Empire as Human Empire seems too bland to me and as Christonikos pointed out Arean is pretty close to martian in greek.

Excatly, Ares = Mars, and we are from Earth, not from Mars

Excatly, Ares = Mars, and we are from Earth, not from Mars

Im pretty sure the Gods including the Second-generation lived on earth in specific Mount Olympus, After all Ares founded Thebes .. Also ares fought in the Trojan war!

Mars is the Roman Adaptation, and Mars is different form ares..

[Clansman117]

Except for language, how is mars different from Ares? Besides my point was just about it making any Greek fans a little confused, I would still prefer it to Human Empire anyways. I guess another possibility is to name the Empire after the Capitol (if you've decided what that will be), but that doesn't seem too original to me. I just think that you should avoid the plain names of "species empire" as much as possible, but that's just me, and I'll enjoy it no matter what.

mars is less hot-headed! He is known as

Father of the people

he was also an agricultural guardian/god as well as an protecting spirit and so on

I'm pretty sure not anytime soon, and if so in the space-age I'm sure we wont be united either

I apologise for being a bit ironical and sarcastic, your opinion and point of view are totally acceptable, though I stick with mine. Sorry, if I have offended you. I hope I can make up with some rep.

[Clansman117]

I didn't know that about mars, that's pretty cool. Back on topic, I just find it weird to name the faction after its species, even though I know that most of them will be just that , and I even think it makes sense.

[blur!]

Can't wait to play, eta?

[Christonikos]

Great! Even more factions. Don't use all slots though for the first release. Leave some space for new ideas!

[blur!]

Agreed, let some space!+rep

[Gato The Great]

how many settlements have you used and how will castle work in this mod ?
