[Mod] Essos Total War

[Korpskog]

Yeah we kind of do! However it depends on what kind of writing you mean... for example I would love some help with the faction descriptions at the faction selection page. I would to it myself but english is not my native tounge so it is best if some yank or english guy does it!

If somebody wants to help just send me a draft!

I think you should make the Rhoyne river a lot bigger , as in the books it as described as the biggest river in the world. I think it should be navigable by ships and you should have ports from the cities of Volantis on it,so they can trade between each other.Also i would suggest that you make more smaller regions/cities near the coasts of the oceans surrounding Essos and leave a large portion of the "Dothraki sea" without settlements ,or make the inner regions of the map bigger,so that they controll more land . And for the factions you get no info from the books - you can always make up names and change them in a future version if we get more information about the given lands/regions/nations from the next two books.

As to the Rhoyne it has already been taken care of, i've just recently finished it though i think it still needs a little bit of polishing , if Korps is cool with it i could make a quick preview of it .

[Korpskog]

Im as cool as it gets...

[guiguy98]

Quick preview of the Rhoyne

Note: Ports and strategic crossing points are still to be added and those weird triangles to be removed

[Ichigorukia]

Looking good mate

[Knight of the Blue Rose]

^ the above preview is rather tasty (I'm a sucker for accuracy)
Essos is a far more diverse continent than Westeros, looking forward to seeing how you'll protray this unit wise etc

Yes, having the Rhoyne sailable is a huge improvement (all rep goes to guiguy). We are still thinking about what to do with all the other rivers!

About units we might have some stuff cooking, im not promising anything however. At the moment all of the teams (not dothraki) have acces to different types of militia.

[Lordinquisitor]

If you still need some ideas for units i might search my external disc for something. I recall gathering together some ideas for essos units quite some time ago.

Sure! As allways any sort of ideas and advice is welcome.

Im sending you an invite to the development group and you can tell us all about it!

[Iron Aquilifer]

Question time: Are the cities going to be primarily militia based? Are the mercenaries going to be aor or can everyone recruit them? (I like the idea of having some mercenaries as aor from certain cities but also can be recruited from the merc pool (like having say three units of unsullied able to be recruited from astepor but only one from the pool, representing the source of the manpower for the units ( also maybe unique units who are overpowered compared to regular mercs)))

[HannibalExMachina]

the cities would have a very diversified militia, but as wars are mostly fought by mercs, with some exceptions like volantis perhaps, theyd be the most numerous fighting force.

[Iron Aquilifer]

So will there be mercs unique to certain factions/cities (aor) or just everything for everyone?

[TheGreatBastard]

Any word on the project?

[Korpskog]

Kind of on hold due to other projects (Wrath of The North) and inactivity among the team.

[Korpskog]

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

haha just looked at the map-preview! I will definetly work on the map as soon as I have free time!

[SoulGamesInc]

It's not so bad, needs some tweaking perhaps but nothing major.
I've not checked the units for skins etc but the most of the work seems to be semi-minor stuff. I'd help but i barely have the time to work on WoC as it is.

[Korpskog]

The units is vanilla at the moment! However HannibalExMachina have made some nice Essos-Specific units that will be in future versions! However that (Units) is not my cup of tea.

My hope it that all our skilled Submodders starts pushing this project forward towards a status which could be used for hotseats! Thus I do not name this a "submod" but rather a resource that is free for everybody to use. Think of this as Essos Total War 0.1

[Uriyaca]

Noice. Impressive. I'd love to play it once it get's a bit more complete, but it's definetly awesome and it has lots of potential
I would rep you Korps but I just repped you in tag1

Also this isn't a submod, not really, as you said it's made from scrath and it isn't based on the WTW alpha or any of it's submods, sooooooo (you could prolly get your own mod forum I think, right?)

[Korpskog]

No need for a new forum as I see it, basicly Essos is a sidetrack in ASOIAF, Westeros is were the mainstory is. Also once WTW 1.0 is released some of it's content will likely be of great use for Essos as well! And Uri throw some rep to the members of the Development Group! Better yet join it to give your ideas on how to make the mod as good as posssible! (that goes for all of you)
