Thread: A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE Total War

    Default Re: A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE Total War

    Hi Roderick III, first of all thanks for all your thoughts. You will be happy to know that most of the things you have suggested are planned to be in the mod :
    • the mod will strictly follow what's written in the books
    • I will try to have all the land of Essos in the map, even Asshai (there is the problem of the limit of the M2TW map, 1 mil pixel); I don't know if you know that in the next months will be released by GM a book with the maps of all his world, that will be a definitive source of info for geography
    • Having the dragons is not an option, it's a must! Honestly it's incredibly difficult, but I know that in a mod for Rome TW there are some kind of dragons, some maybe I'll be lucky and that team will give me permission to use their models
    • there will be some kind of magic (in the far Essos, but also over the Wall), but not so much since I don't want to make something that GM wouldn't agree with
    • there are already Others and mammuth, I will make giants too (and maybe other misterious beings...)
    • there are naval forces, but due to M2TW restrictions do not have a main role
    • there will be also the Faith Orders, I think in 2.0 release.
    Finally one thing you will not appreciate: I will keep on using images from the HBO series. I fully understand your pov, but the point is that in a mod you need tons of images, and the only available source of all these images is the serie. I agree with you, there are other excellent works inspired by the books, but they are not in just one style, and I wouldn't like having images so different one from the other.

    I'm sending you a PM about possible help from you.
    Ciao, auc162

    regarding portraits

    how many characters are you actually gonna have in the descr_strat ?

    hit me

    ps

    just remembered there are various mods that would have Dragons
    -Dragonlance
    -The Sundering
    -Call of Warhammer
    -PCP submod for TA

    why don't you take a look at those too ? There might even be more!

    Good Luck and let me know about the portraits. I'm doing tons of them for the WTW mod, so maybe i could help you out.

    How many characters? Good questions, I'll check.....


    ..... for Westeros only there are 480 characters ! And consider that we wrote a short biography for each one .

    Of course we will not have custom portaits for each one, only for the main ones. Until now, we have 40 portaits. Maybe we could share the work to be done? In any case consider that we portait in our mod will be taken from HBO serie. In case send me a MP.
    Ciao!

    PS - Thanks for the suggestion about the dragons.

    you can see some of the portraits i've made in today's mini-preview, over at the WTW page. No actors, only illustrations and i've followed faithfuly the wiki's descriptions and characterizations when availiable

    i have like 500 portraits now and still going

    so maybe you could use mine, so that characters look the same in both mods

    ciao !

    Your mod is so advanced and it seems very promising. If you manage to achieve your objectives from the OP, it will make it big. Just keep in mind that you have a hosted mod competitor!
    Keep it up!

    Noobas, what can I say: your work is really outstanding ! And I accept your offer, I would be honoured to have your portaits in my mod.
    The only problem I could have in the future will be how to make the portaits of the Essos factions, that you do no have in Westeros mod. But I will think about it in the future.
    I'm looking forward to see all your portraits in the mod!
    Ciao e grazie, auc162.

    Im a bit of a noob, so this may be a stupid question lol. You say the first release will be in italian, so will this work on an english version of medieval 2?

    As far as I know, it will work even in an english version, but all the text "customized" (biographies, name of traits and ancillaries, missions, name and description of units will be in Italian. I hope in the future to have a translation.

    Hi folks, I've just added other six minor houses (Moreland from the West, Shett from the Vale, Selmy, Peasebury, Farring, Horpe from the Stormland), and now we have a total of 200 houses, each one with its own lord, generals and customized units. Do you think they're enough ?

    Thanks. My objective is to be as close as possible to the saga; that's why I'm spending so much time in developing this mod, but every day I'm really closer and closer to a beta.

    Any comment, suggestion, request for more info and of course help is more than welcomed .
    So, are you close to the objectives you proposed in the OP? I mean, can we expect a release by the end of this year?

    Timeline are made to be missed .
    We are proceeding well, but not so well. Beta could be ready in two/three months, but for a 1.0 version you will have to wait untill 2013 (hope at the beginning).

    Maybe you can ask to borrow the fell beast model (the dragon like thing that the ring wraiths ride) from one of The Lord of the rings mods for your dragons? And make them super heavy missile units that spit fireballs similar to catapult flaming shots and also let them have incredibly powerful attack and defence (and super high cost?)

    As for magic, how will you simulate that? And as far as im remember there are no outright fireballs in the book.

    And also.....would there possibly be....faceless men?

    The answer is ... yes! It will be possibile to hire them, but also to have two of them, for some factions
