Signatures

Ahlan Wa Sahlan! Here's a few sigs I made for the upcoming submod for TGW called Lawrence of Arabia, the Arab Revolt. Please use these sigs if you like them to raise awareness for our mod. We could use anyone who is good with map modding, or creating mod launchers. I am currently editing units and the team is hard at work but we could still use "A few good men" Alfa Shuker to anyone who helps in any way, See you at the front!- (Not for a while though mod Team still boarding the transport ships.) http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...unitecopy.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...iaposter1.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/233/jpeg02.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/11/britsig.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...olunteers.jpg/ (Direct Links.) (No fading text) More Sigs to come! Anyone willing to make their own sigs to support us is welcome to do so- Please thank the Great War Team for making this possible.

The mod is still very WIP every update will be shown here.

Don't forget to + rep the team!

Threads merged.

Note to team:
I moved an older post of Brewster to the front, the original announcement OP is on the second page of this thread, in a spoiler. I added the signatures to the new OP, but the second post by Highlander also contains the signatures... so edit however you want. I also closed the recruitment thread, on request. Unless you really want it merged, its easier that way.

What about Australian forces?

During WW1 Australian forces, particularly cavalry were popular in palestine and egypt due to the fact that many of the troops were already aclimatised to the intense desert heats due to...well..being from Australia which is only 1/4 mile from the surface of the sun.

That being said, most Australian troops present in Egypt and Palestine were sent to Gallipolli, however battles such as Beeresheeba stand testament to the fact that Australians were a key component of the desert war

Not to worry, they'll be in (eventually).

Just a quick question: are you guys gonna make this a selectable campaign on the 5.0 launcher so we can play this and normal TGW?

That isn't planned (yet).

Good idea if it can it sure will be done tough

Added some pictures on the progress.

@King Sama: This is not offthread discussion, i am just replying to a statement made against me, this thread will also remain on topic for all messages will now go to me via PM. dont lock thread

Meh, if you guys want to fill your own thread with nationalistic garbage, I'm not going to stop you

Wait... We are allowed to to write offensive stuff in this thread? And it won't be closed?

[King Sama]

No... I'm just not going to start censoring off-topic posts in your own thread. I mean, you are the ones who dictate the topic after all. Not to say at a certain point the thread wouldn't be closed anyways.

If its offensive, I'll probably delete and report it. But I wouldn't call that convo directly offensive, and I don't control anyone's sig.

EDIT: Since Brewster requested it, I've deleted all the Israel related posts.

[General Brewster]

Guys i give one warning you are going to talk normal here or i will stop the LOA project.

[panzerschreck]

I think guys that you are in the wrong place for that: if you are republican, communist, nazi, racist or anything else, just go on others forum to discuss about your opinions. Here it's not a political forum, it's a forum for fans about total war and mods. It's an international forum, so everybody is welcome and it's a shame that some members could use political contents in their sig. I think it should be forbidden in order that everyone could think about what is important here: to make mods for TW.

Why dont you guys use the LOA social group to talk about this where NO mods are present

the Jewish Legion will be the only unit to be featured in the mod, In regards to Jewish agents, we will just keep them as agents to try and keep religious conflict out of this mod.
