    Default A Harry Potter mod. What do you think?

    So I think it would be an amazing idea, but I don't know how to mod. I totally would if I could though. So The harry Potter mod wouldn't be to much. Probably 4 teams. Hogwarts, Voldemorts, The MInistry, and The Order (I don't know what to call the last one yet. It would probably have like Mr. And Mrs. Weasly, Tonks and Lupin, Good Wizards, Etc.). So for Hogwarts, you can have Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville, and Luna (Ginny Neville and Luna are together in a squad with about 20 to 30 troops with them). And We would have Hogwarts Teachers (Together in a group, like the Nazgul in the Lord of the rings mod). Mcgonagall, Dumbledore, Hagrid, Prof. Flitwick, Severus Snape, Madame Pompfry, Madame Hooch, Prof. Slughorn, And Prof. Sprout. Then the Infantry. First Years, Second Years, Third Years, Fourth Years, Fifth Years, Sixth years, and Seventh Years. First Years Are aquivilant to Peasants, and Seventh Years Are really really good, so It gets better each year (Their size also changes. First years are about the size of hobbits from the Third age mod, and They get taller each year). First years have 250 troops, second years have about 225, third years have 200, Fourth years have 175, fifth years have 150, Sixth years have 125, and Seventh years have 100 because they are the best. If you have anything else you want to add to the Hogwarts team, let me know. And Harry, Ron, and Hermione are separate. They each have like 20 to 30 troops with them, that way they aren't alone but they are not like Luna, Neville, and Ginny. Harry, Ron and Hermione are hard to kill. Not like Sauron hard, but pretty hard. They also do more damage then regular troops.
    The Voldemort team would consist of Voldemort, Bellatrix Lestrange, And the three Malfoys. Voldemort is like Sauron, He's hard to kill and is a loner. He doesn't have any troops with him. Bellatrix has about 20 to 30, and same with the Malfoys. The troops are Death Eaters, Snatchers, And Giants. I couldn't come up with much, so If you think of more, then tell me. The death Eaters have 150 troops, the Giants have 10, and the Snatchers have 200.
    The Ministry is Bad, so they consist of Pilas (At least I think thats his name. The minister from the 7th book and movie), and Delores Umbridge. The Soldiers are The Ministry Guards, Dementors, and Just regular Ministry Wizards. About 150 guards, 100 Dementors, and about 150 Regular wizards. Delores and Pilas are a little less harder to kill then Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione.

    The Order is good, so it has Mr. and Mrs. Weasly (Together in a group with about 50 wizards), Tonks and Lupin (Together in a group with about 50 Wizards) and Fred and George (Same). The Soldiers are Regular good Wizards. (I don't have any other ideas, so I could use some help there).
    If you can, try to make everyone flick there wands like a real wizard and if you can, don't use sword or archery motions. Blue, red and green will go out randomly from the wands, and only Seventh years and Death eaters can shoot spells high in the air like arrows. The Teachers and The Weasly's and make a shield around them like in the seventh part 2 movie (if you saw it you know what I mean). Each group of units in the Hogwarts team is randomly gender selected other then the Heroes and teachers. So First years have girls and boys in it, randomly placed. Same goes for all the years. So what do you think? Any Questions?

    If you don't know how to mod, I doubt this will ever be made. Besides it wouldn't be good on the TW engine.

    Look, If i could mod, i totally would! I want to learn so badly! And It was just an idea, if someone wanted to take it. I wish someone would at least think about my idea before kicking dirt in my face and throwing my idea in the garbage. If you think about it, it would be really fun!

    I mean I seriously don't know how to mod. Like I don't even know how to get into the mod thing where I could mod. If I knew how to do that, I could probably figure it out.

    If what I got from the tidbits of the movies I saw is worth anything, it doesn't seem to be a "conquest and warfare" movie. Did they end up ever taking over all of Britain or anything of the sort?

    Well, no. But Neither did they in Lord of the rings. Voldemort tried to kill all muggles (Non magic people) and all wizards that weren't pure blood. So yeah, He would have taken over the world if he would have made it that far. The tricky part will be making the wand motions and the spells.

    It would work better if you set it in the past, so that you can have more medieval stuff with magic mixed in between.

    Medieval wizards? The thing about Harry Potter would be unit ideas and diversity between attacks. There are so many spells in the HP universe, how would you represent that?

    Personally I'm kind of sure to that a mod filled with wizards and only wizards in the HP universe seems a little far fetched on the Total War engine.

    Well I'm not placing every spell. Just them sending out blasts of green, blue or red I guess. Nothing that bad.

    I would like the idea of magic and such, but the fact that is about Harry Potter means it is impossible. Units in the game can not have only one soldier in the unit. The minimum is 4. The idea would be cool, just if it WAS made, it wouldn't be nearly as cool as you make it out to be. Good idea tho.

    Which means yo obviously didn't read all of my proposal. Harry wouldn't be alone. He would be with his own squad of soldiers. Same goes for everyone else and how is that true if Sauron is by himself?

    I meant that the unit could only be four Harry potters. Or four Voldemorts. I read exactly what you wrote, and it's impossible. But only captains could look different than the rest of the unit. And unless there is a way to recruit generals, the idea couldn't happen. Sorry for the confusion.

    As Holy Pilgrim mentioned it's completely possible to have a single soldier in a unit. The only catch is their class will always have to be cavalry, which is not a big deal imo. Unless the heroes are giant monsters I'd stick with making them captains attached to other units anyway.

    Theoretically everything proposed about this idea is possible. While it is possible, I personally don't feel it would work well with Total War. I don't mean to put down Harry Potter, as I have nothing against it but it just feels a bit "too" whimsy and juvenile to really fit in a visceral game of thousands of soldiers ripping each other part. Then again look how childish Zelda has become and look what I did with it.

    Moral of the story is: If you can't model or learn how to work the engine yourself (as a director) then the mod in question will never be made.

    A Cthulu based mod would be epic.

    How is Sauron by himself in the third age mod?

    Total War isn't the right platform for squad gameplay like that. Harry Potter seems like it would be good Men of War mod though. That is if the animations and graphics can be heavily modified.
