SP Oriental War of the Three Kingdoms (Recruiting & Under Development)

[DynastyFenix]

WAR OF THE THREE KINGDOMS, NOW UNDER DEVELOPMENT!!!

Mod Team

DynastyFenix- Mod Leader/ 3D Modeler / other stuff

?miclee- coding?

Quail- scripting/ map/ start screens


War of the Three Kingdoms is based on the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The actualy gameplay is going to be somewhat based on the game Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires. The officers won't be insanley rigged, but just hard enough to give you a challnge. Weapons will be given to their rightfull officers aswell. I'm not planning to make this mod 100% Historically accurate, so please don't flame the topic is I do something that isn't percise. I'm open to all suggestions and ideas, so give me a shout if you have anything on your mind!


Planned Features
Capturable Towns- to the point where you can become the total Emperor of China
Highly Skilled Officers- to give you somewhat of a challenge
Many New Weapons and Items- My favorite part of many mods 
In Depth Storyline- for you Storymod fans
New Map- must have
Unique Units For Each Kingdom- very cool part of the mod*
Duels- In the future, I plan on finding some way to code in Officers Duels
More to come!

We currently need a scripter, because I havn't heard from Miclee in some time, I think he is busy on his mod. Also, a texturer would save us LOTS of time. Donaters Welcome!

Dynasty, you may wish to change the thread title to something more descriptive.

ROTK reads as "Return of the King" to some Tolkien-obsessed folks (me included).

This is because I tend to think of Romance of the Three Kingdoms as "San Guo Yan Yi" instead of "ROTK".

Also, I recommend stripping "Dynasty Warriors" from your mod name. Give it some dignity. There are many fans of The Three Kingdoms who have never played "Dynasty Warriors", because, in all honesty, it looks totally ridiculous.

 

[DynastyFenix]

I personally, like DYnasty Warriors. So I'm going to keep that in the title. Dynasty Warriors is also going to be the base for this mod, not Romance of the Three Kingdoms. And there are also many DW players that never played Three Kingdoms. I, for one, had to order all of my ROTk games from ebay, because they don't sell them over here in New Jersey.

 

[mbfreak2]

we should have Lu Bu(mod maker person not the strong guy from dynasty warriors) he might know some things(hey that includes me)

 

[DynastyFenix]

Yes, he was the head of the first "attempt" at making a DW/ROTK mod, but I havn't seen him aroun in quite a while. I'll give him a shout, he tought me a lot of what I know when it comes to modding, so I'm sure he will help us out.

 

[fisheye]

there are also many DW players that never played Three Kingdoms.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not a game. It is one of the great Chinese novels. You pick it up and read it. You don't play it.

 

[Pnakotus]

No, it's a game too.  Whole series of them.  Mostly Japan-only, but I played one in the 90s.  They're up to ten now I think.  Since M&B has such a large map, perhaps he intends to make an ROTK-style city-management system too?

 

[DynastyFenix]

I'm trying to think of all of the ideas I can use in the mod, but I don't want to get overhwelemed. I shall start with the basics, new models, map, and storyline, and work from there. Also fisheye, I have read the ROTK novel, played the ROTK games, played the DW games, and read the DW books, written by some unkown chinese philosopher, which means they're basically useless. So when it comes to Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dynasty Warriors, I know my stuff*

 

[mbfreak2]

Im part of this and i suck at modding so ill list info here(im chinese watches chinese war shows knows some stuff)

Heres some stuff:

-all towns can be attacked. Archers at the walls. Infantry in the town, gates opened. Peasants running out of the town. All chinese kings rule china because they are cruel to there enemies attacking innocent peasants in the town. 1 more thing there should be a front line you have to crush to attack the town. the front line can have calvarys etc

-Wei at north. Wu at bottom right. Shu at bottom left. Wei troops are blue armored. Wu troops are red armored. Shu troops are green armored. Lords are in parties with lots of soldiers. LOTS. A Lord needs lots of protection. LOTS. Generals have lots of soldiers in there parties too. At Day 1 the 3 lords make an alliance to stop Dong Zhuo by seiging there town. Dong Zhuo inside the town fighting. Dong Zhuo is weaker than any of the 3 lords.(cao cao, sun jian and liu bei) And has less soldiers than the 3 lords. Dong's troops should be yellow. Lu Bu shall spawn after Dong Zhuo dies in like a few days.(must be extremely strong and lots of soldiers too) When Dong Zhuo is defeated. The 3 kingdoms dynasty STARTS!!! The war STARTS!!! Wei should have lots of soldiers and lots of parties respawn faster cause of it's power. If all towns are captured of the enemy faction, but lord is not dead means they will continue there assault meaning there's hope for them.

-these are some special triggers for different factions, If Cao Cao from wei gets killed, his son Cao Pi takes over Wei, Cao Pi dies then Cao Zheng,then Cao Zhi,then Cao Xiong, If Cao Xiong dies Wei is under the control of the faction that destroyed Cao Zheng but if some of the towns are captured by another faction you won't get them all. You must fight. Now for the special triggers or Wu, it's similiar to wei though. Sun jian dies, Sun Ce, then Sun Quan, then a girl Sun SiangXiang i think thats the name. Now for Shu, Liu Bei's party will have guan yu and zhang fei in it. lol making his party really tough. Well his son is too small to take over a kingdom. So obviously...... uh yeah.

Well ill find more info soon i hope this helps, atleast i did something lol getting info ill get MORE on town names characters etc. OUR MOD WILL ROCK!!!!

 

[DynastyFenix]

Nice ideas mb, I like them. The whole "Succession" thing might be a little hard to script, but we will figure it out. Sorry about me not changing the first post yet, I've been working on all of the models*
