    Default An Unnamed Mod

    Hello everyone. I would like to start a new mod based off of a new Intellectual Property. This isn't completely new because it has been done in other Generals Collective mods before, but new as in the sense that it is not a published work. The Collective is actively working on this IP for other games, and has many resources. I would like to see people join my effort to make a MTW2 mod. If nobody joins me, I will just take the Collective resources and products and dump it into MTW2, all by myself.

    My goal is to create a whole new universe. The Collective is making mods for an FPS game and a RPG game. Those games will explore the lore and emotional aspects of that universe will all its dramatic glory.

    I hope to start a mod that will explore the "historical", political, and military aspects while using resources from the other games, (models, animations, sounds, and so on.)

    Now for people who are interested, this IP will ultimately feature a brand new map (obviously), make use of many different varied factions, and will be entirely gameplay based. Since we are not restricted to history, all decisions can be made so that the mod is the most FUN possible, with no regards to how "historically accurate" it is.

    The factions cultures will be as follows:

    A Templar Culture- Think emphasis on warefare, and big tough men.
    A "Western" Culture- Emphasis on Trade, high technological, low populations, low unit soldier counts.
    An "Eastern" Culture- Emphasis on good defense and a good balance of the above two.
    A Demon Culture - No trade, no roads, no ships. For everything else, think zergling rush.
    A limited Angelic faction that will not be playable and will have no units that you can fight against.

    Militarily, the templars will have focus on slow, heavily armored swordsmen and cavalry.
    The West will find itself packed with powerful field siege weapons as well as spear wielders, light infantry, horse archers, and normal archers.
    The East will have powerful crossbowmen and good defensive phalanxes but relatively weak cavalry and no light infantry.
    The Demons… Think Zerg.

    So if anyone's interested in doing a gameplay and quasi-fantasy mod, post here. There's a lot more details that I would be happy to share privately.

    I'm a little confused about what the mod is about? what is the theme? Is it medieval because I heard somethign about the templars but then what is the demon angleic thing. If it is a medieval mod I will volunteer my services as a historian if you need them.

    Hi Sir Matthais, there's no history here, but if you can introduce interesting ideas that are historically based that would be very welcomed also.

    Well, seing as my fantasy mod was killed by Bethseda I would certainly be intrested in making up a fantasy world, but to put it simply this doesnt seem creative enough for Fantasy. Your ideas are good, but fantasy is a free realm. No need to stick with such typical types.

    its better if you let each 1-2 members of your team create a civilization of 1 faction or 2 as civil war or something..that way each part of the mod will be good and balanced!

    I meant that if you have a big enough team assign each one or two of them to create their own faction name, culture and units..etc. For example you draw your map and show it to each team member and everyone will choose a place in a map (example: South Desert in that part of the map or something) and then if this was a desert area he will create and build a whole knew never seen before culture on top, and better even create a quick language (like what ilsamereen, which i spelled wrong , did..make special langauge names for some points on the map, characters..etc)
    that way every faction/culture will be balanced.

    About the civil war part, if the 30 faction feature is included in MIITW you can make 2 factions of the same place as rivals, or for an allied faction such as as a senate/pope thing...think of it im sure you find the best outcome.

    I hope you know what i mean this time :wink: ...

    Hi, I understand now. That suggestion though is rather specific and could wait until development has fully started. Of course it will also depend on the size of the team.

    About the civil war, that is semi-complicated and won't really fit into the storyline... But we'll see!

    If you wish, we can start planning now, contact me via email or PM or IM and we can discuss things further!
