[S] The Gathering Storm - A Wheel of Time Mod (Beta) Latest Version: V0.2.7d

[mat2rivs]

Meldreth,

I believe the Taleworlds Repository links should work.  However, the site is a little flakey, so I can only suggest that after you start the download, don't do anything else on the internet until the download is complete.  In my experience, that always seems to stop the download and you end up with a partial file that doesn't work.

Give that a try and let me know how it goes.

Hope you can finish the mod. Piqued my interest with this mod.

Well actually, the mbrepository links still don't work, it just tells me that I can't access the page, and no download starts. But anyway, I succesfully downloaded it from the Mount & Blade Nexus the other day, though I haven't played it much, to be honest. From what I've seen... I don't know, it feels strange. It just made me realize that what I reallly want is an actual RPG set in the Wheel of Time universe. This, well, this is still Mount & Blade, and as awesome as both your mod and Mount & Blade are, it's not the Wheel of Time game that I want to play, at least not right now. But is it even meant to be ?

Closest thing to a proper WoT RPG is either a MUD or a Neverwinter Nights persistent world, and there are alot fewer of them that there were and alot of the dungeon-master run plots eventually skew off from Canon quite considerably.

At the moment I play here: http://motp.prophpbb.com/ but its a pretty small (often empty) server. Yeah I know i'm scaring new players off, but its better to be realistic than have to do introductions and question answering for people looking for something more active.

I'd support an actual RPG set in the WOT world.    I don't think Mount and Blade is the best base to start from for that though.  Maybe Skyrim's engine.  The thing I like about Mount and Blade is the large scale battles and the overland map.  It's a great engine for the mini-scenes, but to use it as a base for an epic open-world RPG would be very challenging.  (Don't worry, I've thought about it.)

I haven't heard much (if anything) lately from the company that bought the rights for making a Wheel of Time game, but maybe they'll surprise us and come out with something epic.  That's my hope.

Thank you for sharing this. It's a great mod.

I've just noticed that in one of my save, the relationship status between factions has been frozen. Everyone is at war with the Shadowspawn, but no one else is at war with anyone. The 20-day truce I have with some factions has been going on for hundreds of days or so.

What troops is everyone using? I use Shienarian calvaries, Two River archers, Asha'man and Madman Storm Callers. I also have a bunch of Tear Defender, Aiel spears and channellers  and Saldeal calvaries in reserve. Too boring?

I'm thinking of getting some mounted archers, any recommendation?

[DrwHem]

are the aiel still bugged? last tiem i played i could only recruit lithe aiel soldiers. also the pandemonium at the end of scripted diplomacy also drove me off. is that still unchanged?

[Narcissa]

Queen Elayne placed her claim on my city. I am sad. I will capture Semirhage simply to give the incompetent troops I had guarding Caemlyn a rough time.

Oh and Elaida won't let me back her because i'm a Queen. But.. I want to. Cos she's Elaida. Why can't I give her my stuff?

[winrehs007]

Any updates for 1.153?

I will capture Semirhage...

Don't you dare to touch her!!! That's my wife you're talking about!!!

Hahaha!

I imprisoned the Dragon in the Black Tower and now i'm being attacked by Asha'man and Aiel. I hired burly murandians to hit them with hammers. I now have 50 of his channellers and the Dragon in Far Madding after appointing a male chaneller puppet to the BT as its ruler. Bwahaha


Also there's a bug when I try to recruit twice from Ankor Dail in Shienar. Twice its stayed on the 'Anyone wanna join my army?' response. Its not frozen because you still see companions derp around behind you.

Hi all,

I'm still in existence.  I've just been recruited by my wife to help re-do the landscaping around our house.  If only I had a couple Soldiers or Dedicated to help with the moving and removing of sod/blocks.  So far my back and shovel are proving somewhat adequate at best.

I have Malden partially AI meshed, but that's about as far as I've gotten.  A big list of known issues are on my desk to be tackled as time allows.

Hope I can find some time soon,

mat

okay, I just found this mod and downloaded it yesterday and it does have alot of potential and I really hope you can continue to work on this

but I need to bring up some things though
1. bug report
can't complete the starting "save my brother from the kidnappers"-quest. when the last bandit at the hideout dies an NPC clone of me is created which starts running of in the distance, my troops follow him and becomes my enemies. when I killed them all the kidnapped brother doesn't spawn and the battle and the quest can never end.

2. the aiels seem underdeveloped and wrongly developed in the details. I can understand them having full cities, but seeing aiel on horse in the tournaments just seem wrong.
I also wished you could buy a shoufa with veil or a cadin'sor

but keep up the good work
