Changelog:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

2. - Has rebels placed out and spawning.

3. - Has a new UI, symbols, menu, music, campaign map is unique, has spawning scripts for two factions, has a debt script so the AI won't get bankrupt, has a new battle and campaign AI using EBII's Skynet Battle AI, and Stainless Steel's Savage Campaign AI, has new names, new family members and portraits!

4. - Has a new recruitment system, has a unique building tree, has unique features found only in other fantasy mods - such as casters, beasts, flying dragons and whatnot, has unique animations implemented for the mod and a lot of Warhammer/Hyrule ones!

5. - Has reskinned Human settlements in battles, has reskinned stratmodel cities for all factions etc - it's a complete beta with a 99% stable strat-map, and only rare CTD in battles at random - no gamebreaking issues.


That would be it. - But here are some credits:

Mr_Nygren, Eoghan Wolfkin, Bantu Chieftain, TheHappyCrusader, Sulfurion Blackfyre &WarcraftHero - all the work on the mod itself turning things into Warcraft style, adding units, adding new menu, new scripts, new animations, the whole EDB, EDU, descr_strat etc - all work on turning the map-only alpha into this version.

- TheHappyCrusader - Original mod idea, thread at TWC and creation of the actual map which were the base of the first alpha from aug 2012.

- Eoghan Wolfkin - All the work on turning the map-only alpha into Eoghans unfinished alpha released on march 29 at TWC, which resurrected this mod - did later improve on the Human models by working on two models created by Bantu Chieftain - creating three rosters (Theramore, Stormwind and Lordaeron) out of those two units by Bantu. After this he also made some other models including an entire Scourge roster - of which half still are present in the new mod.


- Mr_Nygren, WarcraftHero, Sulfurion and Bantu - all the work on menu, reskins, coding etc since Eoghans Alpha was released - after the demo released sep 1 we four have been the major contributors to this project - even though Mr_Nygren and Bantu did almost everything regarding coding and riging during the fall of 2017 - while Sulf and WarcraftHero did small stuff when they had the time. During this spring 2018 all four have been very active up until this very moment. - Doing different parts such as Bantu riging models, me implementing said models, me adding new regions and rebels and lots of other stuff including creating portraits for four full rosters, WarcraftHeo being the menu fixer and doing unit portraits for the rest of the factions and lots of issues have been fixed by him - he'd also do reskins - while finally Sulfurion would do recruitment, garrisons, buildings, buidingportraits etc.

Warcraft3Underground fan-site for Warcraft 3 moding - lots of models that we riged for the mod.

Undying Nephalim and Hyrule Total War - Animations and Undead siege engines.

Myth Total War - Animations.

Akhtross Total War - Animations and projectiles.

Call of Warhammer/The Sundering/Beginning of the End Timess - Animations, strat-models for elven princesses, projectiles, Siege engines, ship strat-models and base models for our new models.

Elder Scrolls: Total War - some of Eoghans Undead units were based on Undead from this mod.

Bare Geomod - UI textfiles.

East of Rome - Marka Horse basemodel and texture

Europa Barbarorum 2 team - Skynet Battle AI and campaign script.

Stainless Steel - Savage Campaign AI.

Changes since the demo are too many to list here. Enjoy!"

Machiavello Total War has moved into it's own forum!

A homage to Niccolò Machiavelli, this mod is a total conversion set in the mid-XV century Italy, with a strong focus on historical accuracy and quality. It will feature a large main campaign and regional minicampaigns to learn new implemented features and to focus on specific sets of events.

The mod is set to continue the legacy of the unfinished Machiavello Mod created by The Housekeeper years ago. However, the purpose is to represent - as much as the M2TW engine allows it - the social, political, economical and historical landscape of mid-XV century Italy.
It will do so through extensive scripting, posing the player to choose a path that will influence the game play and its outcomes.
