Modern Total War

[HuangCaesar]

Hey I've played Lord of the Rings Total war mod of RTW and saw a silly secret popup faction where you can have a modern WWII tank. It was pretty cool it shot a missle right across the battle map, it looked like a skin for a missle cavalry and artillery combined on steroids. I wondered if a Modern Total war would really work. ALl also saw a Nazgul Fellbeast fly across the map and will make a perfect helicopter skin.

I looked on many forums and people said it will take too much stuff and Total war is based on large formation fighting. Some say modern politcs are hard to incorperate.


I totally disagree I think a modern mod is possible. I played Napoleonic Total war and it had perfect firearm action. A modern total war is totally possible.

All infantry would be a missle unit made of squads of 12 men. They would be in loose formation.
All infantry will engage at very far distance to make the battle long.
Cavalry will be replaced with tanks, and are in formation. And require more than one shot to kill.
Ballistas will be replaced by mortars and Howitzers.
Campain will be the same only one month per turn.
Armies will can march furter.
Aircraft can carry troops around the map.
Cities will have modern skin to it. And walls are removed.
Factions will play as superpowers like USA, or Russia. Non superpowers will replace the rebels.
UN and NATO would be the new senate.
Bussiness men and corperations will be traders.
Sieges will be replace by Airstrikes and bombardments
Ramming, siege towering, and Sapping will be replaced by clearing or deystroying a enemy building.


You don't have to take settlements to win but build more trade alliances.(to remove controversy)




This is just an idea.

Sorry it won't work on the rome total war engien

It will work, but only some of the features. Hegemonia is implementing a unit to be able to hide in a building, so you could not allow walls to be built and instead have units garrison in buildings. The town square must be taken for a seige to end though...Aircraft wont work however on the stat map...maybe you should take a look at The Great War, A Napoleon Total war mod seeking to recreate WWI

You could make the town squar look like one of the ones in cairo
