Tell me what ya think!

What im hoping is if ROM is finished [ a while to go ]
that we use the units and place them into new factions that we edit start post of for it to look like diz!

We probably wouldn't do the campaign with a DLC map, not all of the team members have Age of Charlemagne and it'd restrict the player base.

Anyone can feel free to make maps such as this to help contribute to the mod or whatever. Here's an asset that might help you.

The yellow city icons resemble region capitals. These have 6 building slots, whereas the white city icons only have 4. It may be possible to change this around, so any settlement can have 6 building slots but I didn't have much luck with it when I tested it. So keep this in mind because for example if you wanted Osgiliath on the left side of the Bosphorus (where Constantinople is in-game), then Minas Tirith would presumably go behind it, in a settlement with only 4 slots.

Now to explain my views on the campaign.
Even if the campaign mod tools were 100% perfect and we could do whatever we wanted, we wouldn't start making a campaign yet. We need to create all the units and all the factions before a campaign can be made.
There's no point making a campaign with only 2 factions, because then we'd have to re-make it later on with like 5 factions, then 10, then 20 or whatever. It'd be annoying as hell (since I'd probably be the one making it).

It isn't definite that we're making a campaign by the way. I'd say there's a good chance it'll happen but its not certain.
There's an even smaller chance that the next Total War game will have the mod tools we need for the custom battle side, AND the campaign side.
There's an EVEN SMALLER chance we'll move the campaign to Mount and Blade Bannerlord.

Any of these 3 things (campaign in Attila, campaign in next Total War or campaign in Bannerlord) are possible but they're not definite is what I'm saying.

Gamersville, I'll attach the concept map I created some time ago asap. It is much of ahead of yours and it will definitely help your work

[Gamersville101]

Thanks maestro1 please do! its just a fun little project as Caligula is right,
There's no point making a campaign with only 2 factions

Also im dutch aswell

[Maestro1]

Oeh that is promising ^^

[Gamersville101]

can i see your updated concept ? xD

It would be great if the next historical Total war had all the proper modding tools. CA seems to be acting more player friendly with all the free LC in Warhammer so maybe they'll add in better tools for modding in the next game. I don't know why they wouldn't considering the fact that mods such as Third Age and others made CA extra profits because extra people buy the game in order to create and play full convertion mods.

[Gamersville101]

totally agree!

[♔atthias♔]

totally agree!

here is the lastest answer of CA to this question

if by ‘full mod support’ you’re thinking some sort of campaign map editor, then no we are afraid not. We’ve mentioned before how the process of making campaign maps for modern TW games involves a large and interlocking structure of proprietary and third party development tools that we can’t distribute for public use.
However, there are additions to the Assembly Kit in the pipeline, including adding battlemap editing in the future.

note that this is in a response for TWWH so dont know if that is still acurate

You could put Minas Tirith in Dardania and Dol Amroth in Macedonia. Edoras would then be in Panonia and Helm's Deep in Dalmatia (I know, Helm's Deep on the coast is not ideal, but the other cities are too far away).

[Gamersville101]

too many names, i like the idea of edoras in macedonia though!

A campaign map might be doable if you could limit where the factions are able to move IE recreate the map in continental Europe only. But there is no real way to stop factions invading other areas that you don't want accessible like the North of Africa. I can imagine one of the biggest difficulties is the new Rome/Attila version of city regions. A stupid design decision by CA which would make splitting regions very difficult.

We could probably make it so no factions can raze settlements, and that re-establishing a settlement costs an extreme amount of money so no-one would be able to populate North Africa or whatever if they start the game razed.

[Gamersville101]

that is actually what my teams doing,

to add a 'dothraki sea' and the borders between dorne and esso [ africa and turkey ]

we are razing settlements and it costs alot.,... ALOT to re-settle

@gamersville101 So are you basically want to create a 1078-medieval-wars-like mod into AoC with RoM Units?

[Gamersville101]

No, that would be for the team to decide,
AoC is too small for any westeros or middle earth mod, and if the mod dedicded to do it it wouldnt be on AoC most likely and wouldnt be like 1078, 1078 is a submod if theres a campaign
only , and ONLY the rise of mordor team is capable of a big and good campaign

[Edit]
F.Y.I im not part of the team
