Title: YOUR NAME in my mod. Post by: Nightstalker on September 24, 2008, 04:14:41 AM I'm just about ready to turn to the coding aspect of this second mod;
Timeless Kingdoms As the mod is a fictional setting, i'll be seeking to fill out some of the names for the lords who lead parties. I'm including team members and community members who helped with the first mod, but there will be plenty of space left over for additional folks, so i'd like to invite some wolvies in. The mod is as you can imagine, set in a period which is not certain to a time period. The general theme is warfare of factions ranging from our historical period proxy 400 B.C. to 1300 A.D. It involves various cultures throughout such a timeframe, and will be a central point of the mod. A look at the themes - (I was just winging it when I conjured up these names and such) Ironide Papacy - A fanatical order of medieval equipment inspired knights whom revere both God and their access and use of Iron with equal tenacity. They will have access to the best armour, but shy away from the use of shields, seeing their faith as that shield. Troop selections: Medium - heavy infantry, crossbowmen, light/medium/heavy melee cavalry. Whitestone Clans - Unified clansmen whom reside within the high altitudes of the southeastern mountains and highlands. Troop selections: Light - medium infantry, assault infantry, short range skirmishers, light cavalry Southern Dynasty - Chinese/Japanese inspired culture ruled by an Emperor Troop selections: Light - medium infantry, assault infantry, pikemen, bowmen, light-medium melee and skirmisher cavalry Shah'tal Queendom - An all female federation of tribes ruled by a queen, whom monopolize trade at the main river delta. They will see inspiration from mythical imagry of amazons, and native American cultures Troop selections: light - medium infantry, short and long range skirmishers, light - medium skirmisher and melee cavalry (insert faction name for Greko-Roman faction here) - An alliance of city-states whom are governed by an elected Judge. Their virtues are law and discipline, and they prefer to stand in formation with their comrades on foot, and as such have disdain towards horses and use of cavalry. Their equipment will be Greek and Roman inspired, and has developed contrary to their neighbors the Ironide Papacy, and revere the shield and defense. Troop selections: light-heavy infantry, pikemen, light-heavy bowmen. Shahir Sultanate - A middle eastern / Indian inspired faction ruled by a Sultan, featuring wide access to cavalry Troop selecions: light-medium infantry, light to heavy melee cavalry, lancers, light horsearchers. That should give you an idea to the factions. You can ask to be part of a specific faction if you like (no political parties), or just a general pool. Here's an example of Stugots - Count Micheal Andrew Your name or an acceptable fictional name is fine. Lord Pop-tart, or Count E-Bloodz is not ok, hehe. 1. Count Micheal Andrew 2. Lord Ekul Nergvil 3. Duke Maxwell Summers 4. Mij Lessert 5. Vicomte Matthieu Lagueux 6. Sir Bryan Lewis 7. Matriarch Alyzon 8. Paul livgren Magnus 9.

prolly works better for the Ironide Papacy Title: Re: YOUR NAME in my mod.

Post by: Volk on September 27, 2008, 06:15:58 AM Sir Bryan Lewis, I don't think a German last name that is hard to pronounce would suit any of the factions listed here. Being military myself, you can put mine in the military structure of the factions, as apposed to all you fancy noble wannabes.

Title: Re: YOUR NAME in my mod. Post by: Nightstalker on October 25, 2008, 11:20:11 PM Alright guys you are officially on your way to being famous.
Released the mod today. Heres a look at some features and screens.. Timeless Kingdoms follows the story of six factions struggles to gain supremecy over a land rife with cultural differences. The setting is fictional, but not fantasy oriented. The mod follows the time span in terms of equipment of roughly 400 B.C. to 1400 A.D. our time. Equipment ranges to Greek and Roman items up till early firearms and plate armor. The theme of the factions are as follows: Ironide Papacy - A fanatical order of medieval equipment inspired knights whom revere both God and their access and use of Iron with equal tenacity. They will have access to the best armour, but most shy away from the use of shields, seeing their faith as that shield. The few social elite that have distanced themselves from the main ideals of the Ironide are referred to as "Heretics". Troop selections: Medium - heavy infantry, crossbowmen, light/medium/heavy melee cavalry. Whitestone Clans - Unified clansmen whom reside within the high altitudes of the southeastern mountains and highlands. Whitestone clans consist of the hardy people whom populate the area around Whitestone mountain and the people of Halvare who reside along the main river. Troop selections: Light - medium infantry, assault infantry, short range skirmishers, light cavalry Southern Dynasty - Chinese/Japanese inspired culture ruled by an Emperor to whom the people pledge absolute loyalty. The Southern Dynasty consists of three peoples: The Lao'Jin, whom reside in more rural areas. The Lao'Jin pride themselves on archery and swordsmanship. The Yue Dao, a people who reside mainly in cities. They are widely known as the more technologicallly advanced of all the people. Finally the Southern Dynasty consists of the Ma-Wu, a people who are the Lao'Jin, that have chosen to migrate to mountainous areas and plains on the edge of the Dynasty. Troop selections: Light - medium infantry, assault infantry, pikemen, bowmen, light-medium melee and skirmisher cavalry Shah'tal Queendom - An all female federation of tribes ruled by a queen, whom monopolize trade at the main river delta. They will see inspiration from mythical imagry of amazons, and native American cultures. The Shah'tal consist of many different cultural groups of people whom have been "liberated" by the original Shah'tal people. Some of towns and cities absorbed into the Queendom fomerly consisted of the Ironide Papacy, Tyrion League, and the Shahir Sultanate. As such, the Shah'tal have access to a wide variety of weapons. Troop selections: light - medium infantry, short and long range skirmishers, light - medium skirmisher and melee cavalry Tyrion League - An alliance of city-states whom are governed by an elected authority. Their virtues are law and discipline, and they prefer to stand in formation with their comrades on foot, and as such have disdain towards horses and use of cavalry. Their equipment will be Greek and Roman inspired, and has developed contrary to their neighbors the Ironide Papacy, and revere the shield and defense. Troop selections: light-heavy infantry, pikemen, light-heavy bowmen. Shahir Sultanate - A middle eastern / Indian inspired faction ruled by a Sultan, featuring wide access to cavalry, skirmisher infantry, and elite medium infantry. The people that reside within the realm of the Sultan are a rigid people who are taught the basics of hunting at an early age, in order that they may survive life on the steppe. Troop selecions: light-medium infantry, light to heavy melee cavalry, lancers, light horsearchers. Features - The mod features a playstyle much more oriented to Infantry. Horse HP are reduced 30-40% on average, and the armor totals reduced on higher tier horses. Ranged equipment is also rebalanced to give use of all items. Such a rebalance includes increasing the potency of short range weapons, while setting more distinct roles for other traditional ranged weapons by slightly increasing the projectile speed of crossbows, and slightly increasing the fire rate of bows. Firearms are present in the mod, but as they are a breaking technology, as such there are no trainers present for them, and so you must skill them up with personal use. - Mirathei's formations with revisions. - Greek / Roman helmets by Stelious - Art by Johnny Shumate - Custom map with unique points of interest, giving a unique feel to many locations - Dynamic fighting system - Many fighting styles possible with equipment balances and revisions.
