Khan Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 You guys should contact the Lord of storms over at www.totalwar.org, they are experts at modding MTW.
Caid Ivik Posted September 12, 2003 Author Posted September 12, 2003 OK, with a few ideas from Inoculator, I've made a side list, I attach also an english modification for names, if you can't wait to see "Corrino" instead of "Byzantines" and "Grand Duke Leto" instead of "Ludwig" ;Dlandsraad/imperial sides:Atreides (Germans; expect some kind of "Kensai")CHOAM (Polish; I suppose some cheap units for them)Corrino (Byzantines; wait for Nukers and Sardaukar)Guild of Navigators (Russians; we'll see)Harkonnen (English; expect powerful gunners)Ordos (Italians; assassin bonus?)Richese (Danes; we'll see)Tleilax (Spanish; I have a few weird ideas...)Vernius (French; powerful gunnery)non-playable:Harvesters' Guild (House Aragon)Rabban Guard (Hungarians)Bene Gesserit (Papacy)Smugglers' Guild (Sicilians)Mercenary Guild (Swiss)fremen sides:Ichwan Bedywiin (Turks; Tabr part, fedaykin)Jaccarutu (Almohads; water stealers, we'll see)Separatists (Egyptians; Sihaya part, fanatics)Djihadists (Golden Horde; await mighty MUAD'DIB 8) )[attachment archived by Gobalopper]
Khan Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 This is for the original right, in the Viking Invasion you can play as aragorn Sicily and hungary.Also I would suggest that you make the papacy, the guild. Then you could make it so that Excommunications Reduce Income
Caid Ivik Posted September 13, 2003 Author Posted September 13, 2003 Can you send me units from Viking Invasion? I'll try to get them into mod, if they aren't too large. That's a good idea with Guild instead of Papacy, but I don't know what should Russia be...
Khan Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 I suppose Ordos' hit and run would suit them well.
Caid Ivik Posted September 13, 2003 Author Posted September 13, 2003 Ordos are already for Italy. Anyway, units are changable easily, but if I want to change i.e.religion I have to rewrite all period stats and I don't want to live whole life making this mod. Russia is orthodox, so it should be something linked to Corrino, imperial throne, or Kaitan.
Anathema Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Looks good Caid, but what does Corrino have to do with Orthodox christianity? Holy Roman empire seems more appropriate ???
Caid Ivik Posted September 19, 2003 Author Posted September 19, 2003 Well, I've chosen Byzantines for House Corrino because they have very sardaukar-like units (Varangian Guard, Kataphraktoi...) and purple color. But also as religion on Dune is too complicated, it will be replaced by 'allegiance' with Landsraad, Imperial Throne or Fremen. You will see: House Corrino, imperial faction.
Anathema Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Any news yet? Btw, I see you're going to put Ordos in it. Wouldn't it be better to stay loyal to the novels? :-
Caid Ivik Posted October 10, 2003 Author Posted October 10, 2003 In last time I worked mostly on Freespace ships conversion for Freelancer. It is rather hard, for I haven't much possibilites in MTW. For example I still haven't found a way to create a fast-firing gun or to change shape of arrow. Ordos will be in game, because they were in every Dune game, so I think they are already part of Duniverse.
