any small town mods?
i am tired of all those enormous mods that take forever to finish one turn since they are so big. There seems to be a bigger is better feeling among the mod people.
what i would like= be a warlord etc. with a minor following or a minor noble, ill play it on the very small settings. Have a castle and duke it out with the other lords or just be a bandit.
i guess a band of bandits could be say a 100 strong horde army with 10-20 man per unit. Thatd be nice. just go romping around the map raping and pillaging. Get money, have scripted events where vagabonds and ex army guys join your ranks and build up your rabble into a professional army and take someones lands and make yourself a landed lord, or maybe enter into alliance with a lord, ie acting as a merc army, to build cash and fight the battles.
would take alot of scripting though.
Or be a nobleman who has to guard against bandit attacks, develop the lands, keep the peasants in line, and participate in the petty and often bloody politics of the other lords. Asking for attack against the peasant faction would mean building friendships with other fuedal lords through the age old practice of peasant hunting. Obviously these peasants dont speak your language so they must not be human. Lots of scripting there
or play a scripted campaign as a celtic warlord in ireland or somewhere, with control over just your clan, and do er... clan stuff... go and steal your neighbors sheep. Sheep should be like the artillery units in ntw2. Get your herders to attack an enemies herd, kill the herder units and take over the sheep before they run amok and escape. A special script gives you extra money for the number of sheep you have. Herds move around on the map, as armies. If you move your herd to favorable terrain a script gives you more sheep. If you let them wander around in snow etc. you lose sheep. Get you clansmen together and ambush other peoples herd armies as they move around the map and take there sheep.
If none of that is possible, maybe a complete graphical overhaul of cities, making them into pastures etc. and building herding improvements in the new "herd sites"
thatd be cool, so when you go to battle map view of a herd sites you see all these sheep wandering around. remember the herd sites are just cities, with no walls or buildings etc. When its time to move to better pasture, the whole settlement goes horde as a sheep herd, to find a better site. Thats the easiest way to do it as i see it. After being in a herd site for some while the pasture has all been eaten and its time to move on. That might also be the best way to do it.
Now seriously life back in those days wasnt battle battle battle, and crazy fighting stuff.
When they talk about the great deeds of valor these celtic guys are doing, if you read in between the lines you find they are cattle rustlers.
oh i just saw the protecter this weekend, fun movie btw, you guard the kings elephants duing battle and you have to protect the elephants and take care of the elephant herd. Try to kill enemies elephants or capture them to add them to your herd. If you lose your herd your dead. same thing with herd sites as the celtic one.
now just imagine with the rtw engine thousands of sheep on the battle map and a bunch of angry celts fighting over them and tell me im not a genius. :tooth:
