Hello all! I'm making a mod covering the world from (most of) the Americas to East Asia. It started out as a submod for Falcom: Total War, but since I plan on overhauling pretty much everything other than the campaign map itself (and because that forum doesn't get a lot of traffic), I decided to make a post here asking for help (my original thread is here). The mod starts in 1204 after the fall of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade and a few years before Genghis Khan begins his conquest in the east, and tentatively goes up to 1648 with the Thirty Years War ending.
I've been working on making new units and editing some text files, but not much else.
Factions: Kingdom of England, Kingdom of France, Kingdom of Scotland, Crown of Castile, The Holy Roman Empire, The Papal States, Kingdom of Poland, The Roman Empire, Republic of Novgorod, The Cuman Khaganate, Sultanate of Rum, The Ayyubid Caliphate, The Almohad Caliphate, The Khwarazmian Empire, The Chola Dynasty, The Mongol Khanate, Kingdoms of Tibet, The Great Jin Dynasty, Kingdom of Dai Viet, The Angkor Empire, The Song Dynasty, The Goryeo Dynasty, The Kamakura Shogunate, The Mali Empire, The Kanem Empire, Kingdom of Makuria, Altepetl of Tenochtitlan, The Maya Empire, The Purepecha Empire, Kingdom of Cuzco, and Independent Sovereignties (Rebels).
The rationale for the factions chosen are that altogether on the campaign map, they're all in proximity to several other factions which will make the campaign more fun and action-packed. I also wanted a decent mix of major and minor factions, and this is what I came up with. Plus, there's a fairly even distribution of them too, with the exception of North America which will be mostly rebels.
Help Needed: Animators (I want to add MARKA horses, which requires animation merging), campaign-map editors, researchers, 2D artists, unit modelers (I could technically do without these, but it would take a lot longer), someone that knows how to edit music.
I'd also like it if someone could come up with a nice name for this. I've got nothing.
Here's a few screenshots of the units that I made so far. There's a lot more done, but still a long way to go. More screenshots are in the thread linked above.
