Hi guys, I have started to create a Mod for Rome total war (rtw & rtw-bi) based around the television series Time commanders, however it has become apparent that I need help in order to finish the mod. this Mod manly focuses for historical battles, and custom battles although it will contain a campaign map. The problem or area I need help with is for creating the battle maps similar to those found in the series and with an interlude, 'how the battle was fought' based on the television footage and creation of the campaign map.
there will be the following factions although it will probably change.
Game mod factions
1. Rome Julllii [TC]
2. Rome Brutii [TC]
3. Rome Scipio [TC]
4. SPQR
5. Egypt [TC]
6. Carthage [TC]
7. Hittites (troy)/Armenia [TC]
8. Greek city states [TC]
9. Thrace/Thebes [TC]
10. Dacia [TC]
11. Britons [TC]
12. Gaul's (Helvettii, Tboi & Telingi) [TC]
13. Macedon [TC]
14. Pontus/Parthia (persia) [TC]
15. Germans [TC]
16. Seleucids [TC]
17. Indus [TC]
18. Scythian/ Huns
19. Eleutheroi [TC -although they called it the Spartacus rebellion or slave]
key: [TC] are factions that appeared in the show, / means combined factions, (possible factions to be that the current faction can be changed into.
the other faction that did not appear in Time commanders
Spain, will be deleted
Numedia will be swapped for Indus, and given its relative place on the map.
Sythia will be renamed Sythian/ Huns and given a reform in order to show the change in warfare and power during the wars in the steppes
the goths will be donated to Dacia, Ostra goth to the Huns and Vicsi Goths to the Germans.
The norsk will come under the german faction and the English will come under the Britons this is they are still in the game by the end will be given a reform .
The eastern & western Roman Empires will have their troops donated to one of the 4 roman factions repsecatavly and be given a reform in order to demonstrate the change in the army.
SPQR will remane in the game although it never appeared in the show.
* This battle was fought by a team of celebrities consisting of Kate Silverton and Al Murray as the Generals, and Raji James and Ricky Glover from Eastenders as the two lieutenants.
