Extended Medieval Mod [Idea/Proposal]

**ahowl11** · July 08, 2012, 02:40 PM

Hey everyone,

I have just been thinking about M2TW and I have not played it in ages! Then i got to thinking about extending the vanilla game a bit to include a bigger map and more factions. I forgot the starting time for the game but I know it's like 1088 or something like that. Anyways here is a proposed faction list

Start Date: 1100 AD
End Date: 1453 AD

Faction List:

1. England
2. France
3. Holy Roman Empire
4. Venice
5. Milan
6. Spain
7. Portugal
8. Sicily
9. Scotland
10. Papal States
11. Denmark
12. Poland
13. Hungary
14. Byzantine Empire
15. Turks
16. Egypt
17. Moors
18. Mongols - Emerging
19. Timurids - Emerging
20. Wales
21. Ireland
22. Norway
23. Novgorod
24. Kiev - Russia
25. Lithuania
26. Principality of Antioch
27. Kingdom of Jerusalem
28. Teutonic Order - Emerging
29. Rebels
No new units necessarily but just new factions (mainly Kingdoms factions) just to expand the game.

Thoughts?

Interesting concept.

I say go for it

**ahowl11** · July 08, 2012, 02:53 PM

Well pretty much it's just adding factions right? Should it be hard at all? I have never touched a file with M2TW haha but if it's similar to RTW I might be able to do it!

No, it's not hard. Time consuming, yes, but not hard (well, at least that's how it is for me

).

I'd rather see the New World removed in favour of more factions like Aragon =)

**ahowl11** · July 08, 2012, 06:43 PM

That's what I'm thinking as well. So far I would want to add:

Genoa
Kiev
Aragon

4th one is up for grabs.. Is there another Arab faction, besides Moors, Egypt and Turkey? Maybe an Extended map to have Kwazahirm (something like that ha)

Or what about Sweden?

By the way I won't be able to work on this for some time, I just wanted to post about it to see if there was interest. Currently I am making Extended Rome Total War, and I wouldn't have time to mess with starting another mod (not wise).

Glad there is interest though!

I have a map you could use if you like http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=494603

Unfortunatly due to other modding commitments i dont think im going to able to continue working on it.

The map is roughly 50% complete.

**ahowl11** · July 08, 2012, 07:58 PM

Thanks, I will take a look at it

**Signifer** · July 10, 2012, 09:15 AM

I like the idea. If you need a researcher I'm here!

**ahowl11** · July 10, 2012, 11:43 AM

Thanks!

**Signifer** · July 10, 2012, 11:59 AM

So, need any research?

**ahowl11** · July 10, 2012, 12:17 PM

Well the thing is, I am very caught up in my current mod. So I probably won't start on this one until that one is finished. If you would like to help research for that one, PM me

**ahowl11** · January 09, 2013, 08:41 PM

Okay, time to get this thread going again haha.

I have come to a conclusion of what I want to do with this mod.

Start Date: 1100 AD
End Date: 1453 AD

Faction List:

1. England
2. France
3. Holy Roman Empire
4. Venice
5. Milan
6. Spain
7. Portugal
8. Sicily
9. Scotland
10. Papal States
11. Denmark
12. Poland
13. Hungary
14. Byzantine Empire
15. Turks
16. Egypt
17. Moors
18. Mongols - Emerging
19. Timurids - Emerging
20. Wales
21. Ireland
22. Norway
23. Novgorod
24. Kiev - Russia
25. Lithuania
26. Principality of Antioch
27. Kingdom of Jerusalem
28. Teutonic Order - Emerging
29. Rebels

I will leave two slots open for after the initial mod is complete. Really all I need to do is port the necessary factions and units over from Kingdoms right?

I also updated the OP.

I don't know what map to use though.. I could use the vanilla map, but then I have the Aztecs to deal with, and if I'm going to have the Aztecs in, then I might as well add in the Maya to complete the faction list right?

Hmm, sorry to say but this reminds me of Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod which does pretty much the same thing, bigger map and kingdoms factions and units... I'd suggest you to make your mod more unique, to have a new map, some new factions, or PSF's on the map, in 2nd version if not in 1st, idk, just saying...

As for americas, I'd say get rid of it and focus on the "Old world", unless you want to change the start date to 14-15th century or more and focus more on americas (and there is a WIP mod on something like this already).

**ahowl11** · January 12, 2013, 01:41 PM

Yeah I saw that mod after I posted this. Kind of shot down my hopes at modding haha. I'm to involved with some RTW mods that I'm making right now. This mod will once again have to wait until I have enough interest to finish it. I was literally all about M2TW a few days ago but now that zeal has returned to RTW. One of these days ha

I know exactly how you feel- it's like me with all of the Bethesda games

This mod sounds similar to mine (WIP), but I'm not asking you to join or anything...

I think if you would want to make your own mod, then, like Giumbix said, there will need to be something special about your mod. But, if you feel like playing RTW instead, then that's fine too.
