End Of days

[zkajo]

Hi guys! Well, i do have an idea for a mod, but i am not experianced with M&B module system (yet. Although i did mod other games such as Gothic or total war series so it's just a matter of time 'til I get into M&B). All i ask of you now, is to read through the idea, and tell me what you think about it. It's all based on my own fantasy realm There are two main ideas. Well, it's all in the same world, but in a different period. Here are the two periods, with a brief description:

Threat From Within:​

Factions:
Akila - (Humans, noble kinda knights)
Dotia - (Dwarves, not named yet)
Orks - (Well, big and choppy!)

Storyline:
Akila, a kingdom ruled by Drakan the III - the false king who killed his own brother to gain the throne. After his triumph he decided to go further. Drakan's desire to become all-powerful king of the continent only encouraged him to wage war upon his neighbours. And so it happened. Dotia was his target. After days, weeks, months of bloody battles and struggle, Dotia's capital lied in ruins. Dwarves were defeated, however, Akilian army was also exhausted. When Drakan thought he won the war, his worst nightmare became reality. Here they were, the orks, marching to finish of both the dotians and akilians.

Technical issues:
First of all, the dwarven skeleton. I guess it would be almost impossible to hit a dwarf on a horseback (well, not with short sword anyway) but i'm sure there is a way. If somebody could help with it, great.

The Great War​

Factions:
Elven kingdoms - (Elves), noble but also very dangerous race. They have amazing fighters, but they are very few in numbers.
Akila - (Humans), Kingdom that is about to fall
Orks - (Orks) Spreading like fire in the woods, all around Eredan (continent)
Bologia - (barbarians, humans) Barbarians from the north. Although thought to be wild, still very civilizated. Best smiths in the world. They live in the land of eternal winter.
Kaldinja - (Humans), they live in the desert. No cavalry, only light infantry.
Teeria - (Humans), those people are nomadic trbies of the east. Best horse archers in the world. Devastateing army.
Dotia - Annihilated (of course, there are some free dwarves)
Deamons - (Created by the evil necromanter, joins later on in game), those are the undead, skeletons, zombies and demons...

Storyline
As orks made their way through the front lines of Dotia, and slowly reaching borders of Akila, elves felt they had to help humans. Although they were noble and hated warfare, they knew that if the orks weren't stopped, soon they would attack the Elven kingdoms as well. First time in history, elves decided to aid another race. After years of bloody struggle, Akila and elves were defeated. Bologia and Teeria however, made a pact with the orks, and are free states. There have been only two fortresses left. Akila's capital, and Telding - Finest fortress ever build. Drakan was desperate. He called for his finest mages and ordered them to create a spell so powerful, that would bring every single soldier back to life - as a minion. One of mages was a traitor. He changed a spell slightly, and minions listened only to him. Drakan died, and so did the others. A new army has risen, the army of chaos, army of the undead.
Telding remained safe. There were farms nearby, and fortress was located high in the mountains, unableing the orks to take siege equipment with them. They had a fresh water supply from nearby river. Although akila has fallen, Drakan's son managed to create a new state. Free People of Akila - A united kingdom of Non-orc races. Elves, humans and dwarves migrated to Telding, and this was a place, where the ressistance really started...

Technical Issues:
Again, skeletons. Elves are slightly bigger than humans, but that is not a problem. I am concerned about dwarves, but i'm sure i will manage



If you like, i have more ideas based on Eredan - The fantasy realm. There is 'Great Heresy' - First time when elves turned on one another, and when they began to worship Belair - God of death. Also, there are some wars over an island which had magical ore on it. And 'The new World' - After the Ork's defeat, when the new world is discovered. If you like, i can develop those ideas, and you will help me choose which one is the best for a mod

Now, again, i do not ask you for help yet, since i don't know M&B engine well enough. I have done some modding in the past, and i know how it is, i know what I'm doing. All i ask for, is you to tell me if those ideas seem any good. So? Please, give some feedback and ideas!

Sorry man, the story is kinda dull and there a lot of fantasy mods coming out. This is also too much of a Lotr clone.

But if you implement everything well, and have more ideas, it could work. I suggest you download, Brfedit, item editor, troopseditor, thorgrim's map editor, wings3d. And of course the module system when it is released.

I know, that's cuz i went over it quickly There is a lot to it tho Thanks for feedback I do have 3ds max. Or would you recommend wings?


EDIT:
Ok, btw. No, i did not base it on lotr. Just cuz orcs are trying to take over the world, it does not mean it's a lotr clone. I based the eastern tribes on the mongols, and the rest... pure imagination

How do we know you're the real maker of the End of Days mods for RTW? I played The End of Days 2, and liked it. I couldn't help but wish for a M&B setting, however. Personally, I think you should go with the Lycan Rising, as it had a pretty great theme.

Huh? I think we are talking about different games xD I did create End of days realm (the forum one) and I'm an admin there Also, on the forum i have a lot of people helping me in creating the realm

And i didn't create any End of days mods for rtw I never said that I said i was modding RTW! 

 

[Cloud Breaker]

That's a lot of winkies.

Idea is generic. But it's your mod. Do whatever you want.

 

[Master OF Swords]

Lord of the rings?

 

[Engima]

You might have trouble making the dwarfs, as you said, and the trolls, demons and what not.

 

[grailknighthero]

We all get "story is dumb, too many of these mods" so do whatever you want.  Unless given critical feedback, ignore those who say is dumb and don't try to help.  The only part not possible right now is dwarves, but we are hoping that soon a new brf will be released and it will allow the editing of the skeleton and hit boxes.

 

[Elenmmare]

Wah? There's a mod for Rome Total War called End of Days and EoD 2. What's your End of Days mod?

 

[REMO85]

Lord of the rings?

Will Frodogorn be in this mod?

 

[Servitor]

Sounds like fun! And don't get discouraged by any weird posts that might be made.

Good luck.
Servitor

 

[zkajo]

IT IS NOT LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!!!!

Trolls? I don't actuly plant to add them in, not yet anyway. Thanks to all of those who are trying to help. I'm ignoring the rest anyway

I'm also thinking of complex storyline, so that player would feel that climate. And if you want to know what this mod is about, just read the storyline!!!! HOW HARD IS THAT?!

 

[waraelm]

so is lord of the rings.

 

[zkajo]

so is lord of the rings.

Could you kindly explain to me how?

OH, btw. Orks in here are closer to those from warhammer. However, there are 3 kinds of orcs. Working class (smaller and weaker, a bit like humans), 'cannon meat' orks (goblin-like creatures) and Orc warriors and elites - Huge, green and bulky! One of those can take out 3 humies with one swing of his choppin thin
