NEW ATW mod

[kburkert]

My mod will improve Alexander in many ways. It will feature two new factions to the campaign map (India and Greek cities). Also it will correct faction colours. New units, add diplomacy to the game, custome battle all factions are playable, and much more. I like to think of this mod as a mini mod because it does not alter the original Alexander TW factions or campaign much. I will hold previews every week hopefully starting next week.
Done so far

One faction (scythia)


If there is anyone that is willing to help please reply with what modding skills you have or you can PM me.

I really need a unit card creator and map editor.

There will be an actual campaign map then? I'd be happy to settle for the Eastern half of Mundus Magna, to be honest.

[kburkert]

i was thinking of just improving the campaign map that is there, like improve greece (what the ******* does greece look like in ATW), add more settlements and maybe extending it to get more factions since you can use all of RTW factions, etc.

Is there anyone interested?

[VaeVictis]

Using some of Atilla Reloaded's Macedonian and Persian skins would be a great addition.

Hopefully, they would work with the Historic Battles.

If I could change a few things of CA's vanilla campaign, the faction colors and models would be at the top of the list.

Adding the Greeks and Indians would be great too along with making all factions playable.

Next, I would be changing the horrendous map,(Greece looks retarded) change the turns back to years and allow 4 turns per year to allow more time to take the added provinces.

Well if I was you, I would just build on BKBs mod, and add Attilas skins, and use the Eastern half of Mundus magnus. Ofcourse, you should add in some more factions, split up the barbs for a start.

[kburkert]

since ive done scythia and started the gaul i will be carrying on with this mod. If changed the faction colours, symbols and units. I will also be adding diplomacy back. If i get a map editor i plan to change the campagin map but thats not desperate. Im not sure if historic battles will work but ill try.

So are you going to keep the map with the same area, or are you going to extend it? Because that would awsome... I think the Greeks should be included, and there should definitly be more provinces. Good luck!

[kburkert]

I would extend it but sadly i dont have the skill to do that but i would love to, if theres anyone here who wants to do that just PM me.

[kburkert]

I need a name...erm...i know

Alexander Campaign Total War.

Could the moderators rename this thread to 'Alexander Campaign Total War (mod)' please. There will be a preview the coming friday (right before i go on my weekend holliday ). I plan to include pictures of the campaign map (no new settlements yet), new units, and many more things. Sadly i have not figured out how to remove the begging campaign script but i have edited it so you can now skip it by pressing 'Esc'. More to come on friday.

I really would like help.

[kburkert]

Anyone want to do a map for my mod? If so PM me. Also dose anyone want to be beta testers?

Update

Illyria and the gaul faction units are almost complete.

[kburkert]

technishn08 would you be interested in helping with my mod?

[technishn08]

Sure! We need a good name for this mod now...

[Zenith Darksea]

For the map all you need to do is use the Eastern half of Mundus Magnus. Speak to one of the Europa Barbarorum team and I'm sure that they'd happily oblige and let you use the base terrain. Then all you would have to do is alter the cities and provinces a bit.

As for the name, I'll have a bit of a think about it.

Actuelly MM is open source so asking the EB team for permission is'int necessary. Besides, EB uses a slighty different map than MM atleast thats what they said.

[kburkert]

I will be releasing two versions of this mod

-one will be with the campaign map unchanged
-the other will be with the map changed (changed map will be either Lusteds map which is still in development or mundus magnus which i still need permission to use)

I might be hosting a moddeling and skinning compition, if your interested PM me.

[kburkert]

New faction Arabia.

[cinnamonITFC]

Hi that sound really good. I've had problems in the past with MODs not working or messing up the game. I hope this one is going to be different! I think its good that you are adding more factions. I would definitely fix the map as it is rubbish in the game.

GOOD LUCK!!

[kburkert]

i plan to but when it comes to me coding them i have bad luck . I code almost everything else but not maps for some reason, so im hopping thar some one would help me please. If i get a new map i plan to add athens, sparta, corinth and maybe thebians (spelt right?) and some more provinces on greece and above.

Preview is late because my best computer (which runs RTW on best graphics) is at my nans (long way away), but hopefully i will have a preview up by friday 28 of july.

I am really happy to see so many people support this mod, thank you.

[caratacus]

So the Alexander expansion does not include either Greece or India!!, Very disappointing.

Good news though, that someone has risen to the challenge of modding this expansion and correcting such failings. I wish you the very best of luck and am sure that someone in the community will be good enough to help you out with an extended map.

[kburkert]

Is there no one that will help me with a map?
