Historians needed immediately!

First off, let me say that a fair bit of work for this has already been done (several years ago, before real life got in the way). There's a new and much larger campaign map that's up and running, stretching from Ireland to Ghana and the Punjab. There's 199 regions there, and 30 factions all placed on the map. I've also incorporated an earlier mod of mine, the Mali faction mod, and this provides new units for 3 factions in Validus Regnum at its current state (Wagadou, Makuria and Ethiopia). There's historically accurate family trees and characters for most factions, including the Rebels, as well as historically accurate Rebel sub-factions. Several new religions have also been implemented. So that's what has been done.

Of course, this is a total conversion mod, so there's plenty more to do. I would like to see a new traits system including things like crowns, titles etc, which I can do myself. I would also like to rehaul the combat system to make it more realistic, again something I can do myself.

Besides guys to brainstorm ideas with and do historical research, the only thing I need immediate help with is 2D art, although some faction symbols etc have already been done. I can do it, but I'm not very artistic.

If all the above goes to plan, maybe we can get some 3D artists on board for the units.

There's screenshots and info about the mod at this old preview (the download link is no longer active):

As I said at the top of this post, right now I just need some historians of the period, so if you have no modding skills that is no problem.
