Hi everybody,
I began to play to Mount and Blade a few months ago. I tried a few mods since the beginning, and I played a lot especially to Europe 1200 and the Hundred years war. yep I was mostly looking for historical games back then ^^
But for some time, I began to think about the possibility of playing a Stargate mod for two reasons :
1) I am dying to one day eventually find a good Stargate RPG, even as a mod. But it seems it will never happen.
2) The feodal system that works perfectly in MnB would be terrific I think to recreate the way the Goa'uld Empire works before the Taury and its allies destroy it. (And actually also the wraith )
And of course, Warband is a blessing for this idea. The possibility to create our own kingdom makes way to create a fine RPG where we cn play for example a minor Goa'uld which comes from forming his little band of human slaves and later jaffas with the goal to one day become a more successfull and powerfull goa'uld. Or the same idea can be used with a jaffa, a pirate, etc...
So ! That brings us to today. All the tools are here with MnB to create a great mod for Stargate, and the pre-Taury background is good enough to let us create a HUGE story for a little part of the milky way where minor goa'ulds gaffas and pirates are fighting for power. So I began to launch the first ideas for myself.
I must add that I never tried until now to mod for MnB (I only modded for strategy games until now) and I have a very low knowledge in 3D moddeling. So how am I hoping to work on this mod ? learning first of all (I created a playable and enjoyable mod on an other game all by myslef, with no knoledge at all on this game at the begining) and team work. i already work with a team that mod for Stargate. I am waiting to see how much of them are interested by this idea on MnB, and this could bring a lot of help. I also plan to begin more seriously on 3D work to be able to do some work by myself. And of course I am writing this first post to know if there is some people interested by this idea. This is mostly a thread to for brainstorming discussion and recruitment. And I hope some people will be interested.
Currently, my goals are focused on few things (very modest to begin, to see if it can be done and if people are thrilled by it) :
- I will be focused on arenas. yep that's strange. My idea is to put in place the basical needs for a "stargate" fighting environment which includes :
- jaffas that will fight into arenas with staff weapons
- first 3D models (the most important part being the staff weapon, working for shoting and close combat. Probably two linked weapons, one that shoot and one that only allow close combat. And probably a first try at jaffa armors/uniforms/helmets).
- lots of testing to make this work. The medieval arenas are great because medieval environment works great with the goa'uld background.
Of course i will not delete the rest of the game so it ill be possible to play as usual in the game. it will just be with a powerfull jaffa staff weapon, which should bring a nice idea of what would be in place for a complete mod : lots humans slaves with basical weapons and sometimes a jaffa patrol when there is not a huge war (at least it is supposed to be like that in the background, even if we never see it like this in the show).
I hope you guys will like this idea. I certainly hope to have some nice work done in the coming weeks to propose to you a nice fighting game in arenas; And after that, why not a great mod !!!
PS : I noticed some people are indeed interested by the idea : http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,67559.msg1746128.html
