Modern: Total War

[AmeriBriton]

Its been in my mind for along time now, and I don't know if anyone else has had the idea.

MODERN: Total War.

set in, say starting 1975, just after the end of Vietnam.

Different factions could be:
USA
United Kingdom
France
USSR
Canada
Iraq
Iran
Afghanastan (rebel faction maybe)
many others....

For rebel factions, they could be possibly be renamed to Terrorists, and have the birth of Al-Qaeda,Militia and Religous groups in the USA, and the IRA in the UK, Rouge Generals in the USSR...

This would possibly have to wait for MTW 2, but i think its possible to put this together, if i can ever figure how to mod the map. The Map would be huge and cover the entire planet.

I've seen a British Royal Marine put into the RTW Game world, but i cannot remember where. The Marine was complete with camoflouge fatigues, steel pot looking helmet, and Assault rifle.

Now ofcourse the formations would have to be fixed somehow, allowing for modern formations.

Vehicals, such as the American Stryker, or HMMVW can be added using the seige tower or battering ram script. Same for all vehicals.


To me, this is an excellent idea for a Total war game or mod. Same type of gameply as in all the other Total War games, just upgraded to the modern times. Playing todays battles through the Total War engine!

I am new to modding and trying to actualy do something with RTW and its expansions.


so, What does everyone think? Would anyone play this if it went as far as actually becomeing a fully playable modification for Rome Total War and its expansions?

Thanks!

This is basically impossible to do using RTw or any of the Tw games. The engine just isn't built to portray modern warfare, tank warfare, or any form of air combat at all.

Well,Air and Tank combat? thats a big step. I was only talking about Infantry and Naval combat. Like i said, maybe MTW 2 will be better for a mod such as this. But if the formations can be changed, and new skins can be applied, this type of mod could work. I hopeing the next Total War game after this MTW 2 will be modernized. Diplomacy, Humanitarian missions and other things like that would be great to use on the map.
