I'm just about ready to turn to the coding aspect of this second mod;
Timeless KingdomsAs 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 -
