Dudro

Knight at Arms
Hi there, :smile:


This mod is to be based around a time period from 400-420-ish A.D.  Part of this time was also known throughout Britain as 'the dark ages', A time period where rival kingdoms grew like weeds from the seeds of the passing roman presence in Britain.  The great eagles and standards of the legions now gone,  people began to look up to these new leaders.  Some men followed these people for protection, loyalty, or because they didn't have a choice.  Among these many great men and heroes, one stood above all others.  Throughout the coming years, he would commit great and valorous deeds.  And then, more than a thousand years later, would be reborn in the form of a legend of a man, godlike and glorious, and of his sword, a legend in itself, fit for an emperor.

This mod, based around a series of books called A Dream of Eagles an incredible yet accurate piece of Historical Fiction to describe what happened all those years ago.

Possibly, but Dudro is quite talented. (although it takes FOREVER to make ONE stupid model of a SWORD!) [/starts stealing Dudro's thread ]
 
feel free to post any suggestions or other ideas for the enhancement of this mod.
 
Nice idea. As Bloid said, I am making quite similiar mod. What exact period are you going to make?
 
Well, 867 AD is chiefly about the Danish conquests of England, not the Germanic conquests of Britain, so a Roman feel in 867 would be out of place. :wink: For this mod, I wonder if splitting the Germanic invaders into their tribes would be worth it (Angles, Saxons, Jutes).
 
rougly yes.

I wish you good luck and all. I can throw my Arthur mod plans out the window though :sad:
Anyway, if you needed any pics for reference, I have quite a few..:wink:

Well, what we're probably going to do is make the Saxons a faction, and then have Jutes and such raider bands. (Like Sea Raiders.)
 
Well... after reading all the other replies this feels useles to say, but I'll say it anyway  :razz:

Seems like a cool mod, I will try this as soon as it's out  :grin:

I think you should split the Anglo-Saxons into multiple factions, though I suspect a division based on rulers rather than tribes would make more sense.
 
If you read the series, the time period will be roughly from Eagles Brood to The Sorcerer, after Camulod has grown to a near full fledged city and practically no Romans remain.  There wont be Jutes and Danes, only Saxons because in the series they're by far the dominant invaders from across the sea, and have recently acquired a firm grasp on Britain and have begun to settle, but only some.

This wont be anything like 867 at all as the Romano-British will be near early Roman equipment and and the remaining Romans will be late antiquity equipment.
 
I'm afraid I know nothing of the series in question. This is the first I've heard of it, in fact. Methinks I'll go a-lookin' for it.

Good luck.
 
The series is also known as "The Camulod Chronicles". I've read the first. Not my preferred Arthurian historical-style retelling though.
