Tamriel - Total War

[Extradaemon]

Hi i am just about starting a mod based on the Eldar Scrolls Universe, but the problem is i have never modded a total war game before, so i was wondering where should i start on the mod. Help would be Appreciated thanks also i am aware that theyre are many, mostly dead Wips for an eldar scrools mod so o,ease make any suggestions of another mod i could attempt to make.

I'd love too see TES TW mod.
Do you have any expirience in modding? Moddeling, texturing, scripting?
If not, meaby Alletuns Tome of Knowledge may be of some help.

But other then that, most mods start with ideas for troop trees, factions, time-line and first thing to be done is usually a map.

There are allso great many modders for TES games on various sites, meaby you could find some help there.

It really would be great to see Oblivion Total War... but you will never find team good enoguh to make it... now you cant even imagine what amount of work is neccesery...


but when capable team would be made, I'd join too

I think I've seen about five Elder Scrolls Mod suggestions so far, sadly none stayed alive...

[Sconderix]

Well, if people want to make sure it stays alive, they're going to have to contribute towards it. The first. And main priority, is to decide how this mod is going to be experienced game-wise. Do you want it Lore friendly and faithful to the Elder Scrolls Universe? Or do you want more of the game focused on the players personal development on the campaign? There are many things to think about when starting a mod.


P.S.
After taking a look at the map, I reckon it could a great playing field tactics-wise:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I'd choose some balance between lore and gameplay, and also some timeframe when each of those provinces was a faction
so something like Cyrodil, Skyrim etc... each to be faction on its own


but there is a huge amount of work to be done, without a mapper, modeler and a skiner in the team right from the start there is no point even starting anything

and there is one Tamriel mod for RTW if I'm not wrong

[Liamar]

TES does not have lore so rich that it would make a trouble for any fanatic fan-base.
If every province would be made a faction of it's own, Akavir Imperium would send their Invasion Force, and Daedra would open few gates to Oblivion, it could make up awesome game-play and bring some more epic battles to TW realm.
Tiber Septims rule period could explain the hostilities between provinces. Or it could be set even earlier before the fall of Alyeid.

[Torvus]

Or during the era between Oblivion and Skyrim, where many nations are seceding from the Empire.

[Hrobatos]

if a team with mapper, modeler and a skiner could be made, I as another skinner would certainly join as well

[Sconderix]

Hey you could even have the Daedra like a sort of Rebel faction. So if a certain city or army becomes too disloyal they get corrupted and manipulated into Daedra worship, you could give the General or Captain a sort of 'Daedric Cultist' trait which makes them extremely disloyal. If a certain town didn't have enough order it would be overrun with Daedra (a sort of rebellion) or an army will become Daedric Rebels. This could be a way representing the ever present threat of the Daedric Princes.

well ive decided that im gonna skip on the eldar scrolls ideas untill a later time and try my hand at something different, im thinking a mod based of the popular mount and blade mod "the eagle and the radient cross"

[Liamar]

That sounds like a little bit blunt idea. no offence.
Meaby you could consider joining one of the allready in making mods? Like Warcraft: Total War. You've got to love Warcraft (Based on WC3 not WoW) if you love TES. You'd get expirience in modding and help speed awesome mod that is actually going to be released.

[Extradaemon]

ive got experience in coding because of the EU3 mod if released and im working on and i realy dont know anyone who would need me

[Extradaemon]

ok ive decided that im gonna wait untill a later time untill i try to make an eldar scrolls mod, so ive started production on another mod.

With respect... do you think you can do a total conversion mod instead of joining a mod team and learning while doing something for a mod at the same time. I've already seen lots of guys here who say they didn't know anything or have minimal knowledge about modding who comes up with different ideas suddenly so they didn't get to finish anything in the long run. And w/ 3 threads back to back to back? Well, I just hope you'll not end up like those guys I mentioned.
