I don't know if this is the place to say this. If not, please move.

First: A big thank you!!!
Second: May I suggest a few small, local campaigns instead of a single large one? In FR, we don't often have huge empire building. A localized campaign with a couple of towns and cities, a few forts and a few dozen smaller settlements seems to best fit the "theme" of the FR.
Third: If you take the above suggestion, may I suggest a campaign with an "Adventurer" faction in those? I.e. a not-in-the-books faction started by a powerful local hero that starts building a small nation. Start with a small local settlement and a very powerful hero unit against a couple of big boys. Say vassals of nation X with a "pope" faction acting as the liege. The goal would be to gain the sovereign's recognition as the local ruler. Or you can take the outside force (another big boy) and take the land. Or you can take one of the vassals and install your hegemony and eventually break from the sovereign or get concessions or what have you.

Yep, there will be exactly five new factions and a few improved older ones. I believe that the 16th and 17th factions are going to be re-made to some extent by Assurbanippal. And the 18th faction is still being worked on by him.

Thanks!

The idea about smaller campaigns existed in the past, and i even made a campaign map. It was for Cormyr, and the Goblin Wars. A simple scenario of Cormyr vs essentially orcs and goblins. I know you could basicly take any of the factions and create a campaign based around them, but so far we are just too advanced in the lets say large faerun campaign that it must be finished first. In essence i think this is a good idea, but i would like to work on something like that after the main project is completed.

About the adventurer faction, yes in theory this could be possible because we have several more faction slots that are not used. Still, i would give priority to 'real' factions, because there are several interesting lore factions we havent included yet: Chessenta, Turmish, Impiltur, Thesk, Thar, Erlkazar, Elturgard. I guess if more people would try to persuade us to work on the adventurer faction, that could help, and maybe would also help with designing that faction because it would have to be pretty much designed from scratch. I mean, where would it start, there are so many possible backgrounds. So many questions.

Also, there is no pope mechanic in the mod, so if the adventurer faction would be most likely just independent, maybe with some scripted alliances/enemies.

Just added a crash fix patch for Faerun v0.2 on moddb. The fix itself was made by Warcrafthero

, and i added updated unit prices for ALL units - previously they were basicly not set at all.

Announcement time!

New planned release:

Hello everyone!

We have been working with the team for these past months to add more content and also improve the playability of the campaign in general. Our work continues, but I believe the time is comming for the next release, that is the v0.3.
From this version onwards, we drop the [Forgotten Realms] bit from the mod’s name, and now it will be known simply as Faerun Total War (which also was its original name at inception btw).

OK, but when?

Ofcourse this is the main question, and the answer i can give right now is by the end of May or June. The exact date will be known later, as we approach that time.
I should probably add „if things go according to the plan”. Anyways that is a pretty realistic estimation and in the end we can just skip something we cant finish and release at that time anyway – still not the end of the world and not the last release, lets hope. ��

So whats new?

There are still many elements to be added later on, and we are aware of what is lacking, but we had to focus on things that are probably the most game breaking.

List of planned and added changes:

prices rebalancing – mostly by making things more expensive;
buildings downgrading for most developed settlements;
income reductions for most settlements
rebel garrisons – adding many garrisons across the map;
mercenaries – adding several mercenary units, we had no mercenaries so far;
campaign UI improvements – replacing vanilla assets;
3 more playable factions – Elves of Cormanthyr, Aglarond and Damara;
new custom music tracks for the campaign.

There will be new previews and updates comming along the way until the release, so if you want to be notified of that follow us on moddb.com. You can also follow the mods progress here on totalwarcenter.net ofc.

Have a good day everyone!
