Story  -  post apocalyptic world
Sometime in Earth's future, the face of the planet is decimated by a nuclear war which invertible opens dimensional portals all over the world with devastating results . Cities fall, civilization collapses, billions of people perish, and the portals let though hundreds of different aliens and terrible demons to prey on the planet .

The story of wastelander picks up 100 years later. mankind has, at last, crawled up out of the ashes to reassert itself in the world to take back what is rightfully theirs . Only this world is as strange as any alien planet. Reshaped by dimensional energies, inhabited by alien beings and horrors, humankind must learn to adapt to this strange new world or perish.

factions
Cyberworks
Beneath a mountain lies an ancient military bunker of the old American Empire; a vast installation built by Cyberworks before the time of the rifts. Inside is "Archie Three", the ultimate supercomputer. Archie's human masters and creators have been dead for centuries now. Without their instructions, Archie has spent trillions of cycles computing what to do with himself and the self-contained production complex at his disposal. Over the centuries, the machine has grown both intellectually and emotionally, as well as having altered its programming. In many respects Archie is now some sort of mechanical living entity.

With his new twisted perception of self and reality, he has come to some new revelations.
1, he, Archie, is a superior being.
2, humans are lesser beings.
3, non-humans are aberrational vermin.
4, as a superior being, it is his destiny to rule the lesser creatures.
5, all creatures must sudmit to his rule.

He has created legions of robotic soldiers using the secrets of lost, pre-rifts technology and production resources. Providing him with military power the equal of any who style themselves "Kings" of Earth. Now that he has decided to take a hand in world affairs, he may even decide to conquer it all.

"But how do you have 'fun' when you're a god? Will ruling the Earth be 'fun'?"

The Coalition
The Coalition are fascist human supremacists with a totalitarian government, restrictive internal media, restrictive education, and mandatory military service.  The Coalition is ruled by Emperor Karl Prosek, and is genocidally opposed to all aliens, D-bees (Dimensional Beings), human mutations, and Magic. Their ultimate goal is to return the Earth to its pre-war status, and do so by attacking anything and everyone that is foreign to Earth as it was before the cataclysm.

The Xiticix
Giant humanoid insects from another world, Xiticix numbers have grown from a few dozen to almost four million in only 50 years! The Xiticix have no allies; they exist solely to breed, conquer, and terraform the Earth into a world suitable only for them. Apparently more intelligent and advanced than their "bug-like" appearance would at first suggest, many foolish adventurers have dismissed the Xiticix as non-sentient, only to end their days staring down the barrel of a Xiticix-manufactured glop rifle.

                                    The Pecos Empire


The Pecos Empire is a loose-knit association of dozens of independent kingdoms and bandit groups.  The primary strength of the Pecos Empire rests in their mobility and diversity, making them all but impossible to engage and destroy.

Sabre Lasar, self-proclaimed Emperor of the Pecos Empire, is warlord of the region's largest military band. While his position is not powerful in itself, Sabre Lasar has cultivated an environment where many of the other Pecos Empire forces come to him for guidance and acknowledge his leadership.

"From the seeds of our diversity, together we can build something great. We have the people, we have the territory, and with me in charge, we have the leadership to become a great power."



                                  The Federation of Hell


A new threat to man has appeared in the last 10 years ,from dimensional portals they made a lighting attack on the crumbled remains of Tolkeen after its war with the Coalition.
Coalition force fell back quickly to their own lands , giving ground to this new threat which they were not ready for.

The Federation of Hell is a force of demons and many other fiendish servants, they have conquered or destroyed all that stand in the way , enslaving or corrupting the population to its cause.
Their goal is to take over earth , to make it a hell on earth

Firearms should be rare IMO and should be very limited and have a battered / tribal look to them in general (since most of the inhabitants of earth at that point are bandit-like marauding bike gangs). I would love to see a sawn off shotgun like Max uses - shame you can't do the aoe effect it would really have :sad:
 
I agree with eragoen. Everything should look battered and dusty.
Firearms should be rare and not the main weapons. Clubs, blades and things like that should be used more than firearms. Good luck with mod. Awesome idea! :smile:

You actually made that work? Respect  :smile:

Looks like a lot of work has been put into it, the features of Geoffrey Ashe and Tempered is nice.

all working as mounts as I post  :grin:
Been working on this mod for about 5-6 hours a day for a week and a half  :shock:

I agree too , there will be troops as like :-
infantry - close combat troops
ranged - fire arms ( bows and crossbows for low tier)
cavalry - bikes and quad bikes with close combat weapons
heavy cavalry - cars and trucks with heavy fire arms

30 years aren't enough for radiation to go away. You need at least 50.
Were is it settled? Europe?
I was thinking if it is set away from major cities 30 years is enough time survivor to get back on their feet and for a new generation to grow up , also mutants to band together.
No setting yet , still using native map at mo , with new textures .

there still gonna be horses in it? would make sense if they were
sorry no horses , they all died out or was mutated  :cry:
(cant use horses and vehicles in same mod because of animation of the mounts will look to weird on vehicles)
 
just a quick question to you all ,
what kind of first release would you like to see from this mod ?

a full mod , a teaser with vehicles and what has been done so far, or something else.

let me know, thanks
 
depends if you want to realese it since 0.1 version it means not every thing is there  version 1 when every thing you planned is there
 
I don't mind 0.00000001 versions, but I think it's worth waiting.

Release it only when you think it's ready for full release...  or release some kind of alpha, beta or whatever to advertise your mod.

I guess you'll have to decide that on your own.  :wink:
 
...And all of a sudden, this reminds me of "Dies The Fire" (sadly, it really died) :???:. Which brings me to think, that you could contact the team and see if they'd allow you to use some of their work...There were some nice scenes on show, if I recall it correctly. However, I'm not sure how far they got with that. The mod seemed to have pretty simillar features though.

Unless, of course, you want to make everything for this mod on your own or with your own team.

Either way, have a look and see if anything works for you:

And of course, good luck :smile:
 
great work with this mod so far. also i agree with hairfree that this does remind me of "dies the fire" which is a great post apocalypse book series... i got half the series in paperback and the other half on e-book.
