Generals Mod

[Dunenewt]

Who wants to help?

First of all would it be a realistic mod or a Dune mod?

[guusr5644]

damnet!! its been 1 day since its out and you alrready got it???

[Dunenewt]

i havent yet

[Apollyon]

well ok heres the mod im making:

there are seven coalitions that encompass most of the worlds militarily able nations.

I've recruited 3 friends to help. I have a mate who is very proficient in military history so he is writing the plot and designing the campaign modes. I have a music editor who is also helping with map design and textures/models although another music maker would be useful. I will be the rules editor. I hope to recruit maybe an assistant rules editor and a good model maker. Possibly another texturer as well.

[Dunenewt]

Assistant rules editor for me

Sides:Arab League

EU

UK + Commonwealth

USA

China

Russia

and an African one

[Apollyon]

its waaaayyyy more complicated than that =)

for one there's the Anglo Alliance which is with primarily America and Britain and some other nations (Australia too I think).

The others are like this. The mod will be set 100 years or so in the future so will have relatively futuristic stuff but will still be as realistic as possible.

[Dunenewt]

Is there a website?

What are the other sides?

[Apollyon]

ill make a website this weekend.

[TexasGuy]

Right, I'm working on the General's Mod, and the teams are as follows at the moment.

NB. all names are in flux

Anglo Alliance-U.S., Canada, U.K., Austrailia, Maybe Spain Portugal Italy and Switzerland too.

Ceylon Republic-A democratic China, controls Eastern China Japan and associated Islands

New Russia- Benign Dictatorship, Controls Russia, Northern Baltic States, and Mongolia

People's Republic of South East Asia-Communists, controls western china india and SE asian islands

Persia- controls most of the arbian peninsula

Israel- controls holy land, egypt and jordan

Arab League- whats left of arabian pennisula, pakistan, and horn of africa

Franco-German Pact- controls all non anglo alliance western europe and southern balitc states

Those are the sides at the moment. The whole idea of the mod though is that it is REALISTIC in as many ways as possible. If you have sides our units to suggest they shjould make sense.

[Dunenewt]

Possible Corrections

Anglo Alliance-U.S., Canada, U.K., Austrailia, Sino Republic-A democratic China, controls Eastern China Japan and associated Islands (Seylon is the old name of Sri Lanka)

New Russia- Benign Dictatorship, Controls Russia, Northern Baltic States, and Mongolia

People's Republic of South East Asia-Communists, controls western china india and SE asian islands (are you sure this side would be powerful - maybe a Indo-Malay side)

???- controls most of the arbian peninsula (the name Persia kinda sucked)

Israel- controls holy land, egypt and jordan

Arab League- whats left of arabian pennisula, pakistan, and horn of africa (goes WAY too well with the other side)

Franco-German Pact- controls all non anglo alliance western europe and southern balitc states make this the EU minus UK

[TexasGuy]

I mean units OR sides to suggest

[Apollyon]

remember, like he said, names are very much still being decided.

[Dunenewt]

Well, I guess as its in the future we will have to use our imagination

[TexasGuy]

Persia is what the empire that covered roughly the same area in the time of the greeks was called.

As for the name Its not etched in stone and if i'm wrong oops i'm sorry

yup the franco-german alliance is the Eu minus the UK... so? its realistic

of course the people's republic is powerful, it controls the western 1/4 of former china AND india

arab league goes too well with what other side what the hell are you talking about

[Dunenewt]

Persia and Arab League are almost identical.

You said about putting Portugal and Spain in the Anglo alliance and they are in the EU...

Why would they control 1/4 of China but if they control India they must be powerful

[TexasGuy]

<sighs> it would be much simpler with a world map. Persia controls the med. coast, and most of the arab pennisula, whereas the arab league no longer control arabia. only the southern area of the arabian pennisula. china split, part communist part capitalist.

[Dunenewt]

That sounds good

[TexasGuy]

good

[Edric O]

I'd like to ask a personal favour... please include Romania and the rest of Eastern Europe in the Franco-German Pact. :)

[vidiware]

Norway? What about us...

Are you going to mod?

Can you open BIG files? Emperor is a different format

[Apollyon]

I'm sure we can include Romania etc, edric ;)

as for Norway, you get a super unit who's called Anders The Destroyer and can make cinematics of enemy units to confuse them :P. Just kidding, I'm sure we can do something about it. Any unit ideas anyone?

[DukeLeto]

Can you open BIG files? Emperor is a different format

Here you go:

[Apollyon]

yeah got that a few days ago although it has some bugs its still useful.

Oh and has anyone here managed to add any new units to generals because I'm having trouble.

[Frodo]

does it seem easy to mod? as easy as emperor? i may buy it, but i am kinda short on money now, so i think i will wait like i did for warcraft 3 and get it when it is cheaper :). Oh, does anyone know the 3d model format yet? I hope it isn't like the XBF format, that took forever to get found out.

[vidiware]

i dont know...

but if anders the destroyer is powerful then vidiware the phoenix may be a nut that nukes the whole map... and makes a lot of anthrax... and... wins...

i will look into it
