Empire Civil War project idea?

**Toho** · July 04, 2011, 05:39 PM

so here is the idea have the entire map consists of only the empire and its close surrounding.
the campaign will faithfully follow the civil war that the empire went through before storm of chaos. personally i am not too familiar with the story as to what exactly happened but the concept does sound interesting.

any mappers and script writers bored?

Thats an interesting idea, im not the most familiar with the civil war either, but if one were to expand faction rosters a bit it could be an interesting campaign setting. Problem is how long it would probably take, the Sundering mod is still in heavy development and has been for quite awhile. Doing the same thing for the Empire would most likely take just as long

In my opinion all that energy would be better served working into the main Storm of Chaos campaign. Its still a very interesting idea though

i dont think this idea would take long to implement at all actually. all the empire units and texture and mercenaries are already in the game, the only things that are needed are a new and more detailed map of the empire and the other thing is some scripts to make this sub-mod more interesting.

Well as is, I dont believe the Empire rosters are big enough to substain themselves on their own. Each faction has the exact same units, then one or two unique ones. The way I look at it, new units would need to be added, scripts for each faction would have to be coded, characters and lore researched, and 2d art would need to be done. Thats what would justify an entire campaign dedicated to the Empire's Civil War in my opinion.

If your looking for just vanilla COW but with a few more regions, no other races, and a civil war, well just ignore the outside world and wait for turn 30, thats generally when the Empire goes to crap anyway and everyone starts declaring war on everyone. Havnt had a campaign so far where alliances didnt break down before turn 50.

I like this idea, you could have it set before the Invasion of Gorbad Ironclaw. That would allow you to create a new roster for Solland that was destroyed by the orcs. I dont mind that the empire has the same units, its the same as 1600's european armies. The battles would be more tactical.

Edit: Grabbed this off the wiki

I LOVE the idea. Campaign purely focus on empire vs empire, I'm a junkie for them

. New map with more detailed empire region, two main alliances (I pressume) could use Pope/Jihad.. It's a great idea, would be very different from current Chaos campaign.

besides in vanilla half of the factions (Europe) had the exact same units but with different colorings. we could also set each empire unit as a new unit and then change the stats somewhat like Middenland troops have more attack but Reikland have more defense (because they are more organized).
i have some experience of playing around with sounds, EDU, EDB and desc_strat with garrisons/Armies and buildings put into place. so i can help out with these.

is anyone else up for offering some support? com on guys! FOR SIGMAR AND THE EMPEROR...S

My plate is full coincedently working on Empire voices at the moment so unfortunatly I cant help in a big way, bit I could chip in here and there with some 2d art (Its the easiest stuff to do ^^) if you need any
