[Rize]

And, uh.. why did you have to make a new thread?

 

[zust502]

I couldnt figure out how to rename the other one to europe 350 or delete it so I made a new one.

 

[sirmic]

If you have enough enthusiasm why not to ask and join Barbarian Invasion - hegemony series mod? They already released some kind of aplha-beta release which is enjoyable and they surely can use a help. Joined power surely helps in acomplishing anything.

 

[zust502]

I dont know I just wanted to make my own if you have any questions about the mod or would like to help please post it and I will try to answer them.

Uhh... what are your sources for the troop trees?

 

[zust502]

What do you mean?

 

[Almalexia]

Uhh... what are your sources for the troop trees?

What do you mean?

Like, for example, you chose legionary cavalry for the cavalry unit for the Western Roman Empire, even though by this time they relied mostly on barbarian cavalry for their armies, if I recall. So I was curious where you got the idea that they still used legionary cavalry.

Also, aren't the Moors from the 600's?

In the wikipedia it says the moors broke off as a small numidian kingdom in the third century B.C. And I will change the legionary cavalry. Unfortanutely I couldnt find anything on most of the factions.

 

[Dilios]

It's much better and easier to do a mod on a topic you have relative knowledge in OR can get all the knowledge required easily

 

[Almalexia]

Says the Vandals ruled over the Moors at that time.

Will it make you happy if I just take out the moors and maybe replace them with another faction somewhere else. I started this less than 24 hours ago so all ive got is the troop tree and the names of some cities so if anybody wants me to consider something just ask

Generally making a mod takes a bit more planning than that, especially a historical one.

Just sayin'.

Is there a new faction you would like in the game. Right now im trying to find some cities from the time.

 

[Almalexia]

I need people to help if its no trouble I dont have anything in specific but if your good at something message me and ill see if you can help. All we have right now is someone working on the map so we need help. If your good at anything it will be helpfull.

Who is 'we'? Are there multiple people working on it, or is this just the royal 'we'?

Huh?!! The Vandals were not near the empire at this time. It is 350 A.D and the Roman Empires are still strong. You should just jump to 355 A.D and make it a mod based on Julian the Apostate. The Romans also had a strong cavalry element that wasn't completely barbarian in this period as well.

I didnt think the vandals ruled the moors and thats why i didnt put in barbarian cav for the romans

 

[Gothic Knight]

The Romans would have barbarian cavalry that range from being light cavalry to medium cavalry armed with mail armor so it would be wise to make them mercenaries.
