Yes, I've always wanted to make a mod which isnt constrained by historical or factual standards, to which I could better explore modding potential, and this is what came about.
Reign of Camelot will be essentially an Arthurian themed mod with a mixture of contemporary legend and a little bit of my own custom tinkering.
The mod is targeted for single player, and some of the features it will include are:
Emphasis on the RPG element of the game aspect including 5 distinct playable classes:
- Knight/Man at Arms
- Marksman
- Cleric
- Mage
- Summoner
The classes will each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and will give the player a fresh starting perspective to traditional M&B character building. And the classes will do what you expect them to do; the cleric heals, the mage shoots spells, and the summoner summons etc.
The core gameplay will operate much the same as native, i.e. recruit troops and fighting factions, capturing centers etc. except there will be other objectives the player can partake in, which I will not disclose at this time. Recruitment for troops will be somewhat different however.
Regarding the factions, there are 7 total:
- Kingdom of Camelot (post Uther with Arthur as king)
- Kingdom of Camlann (Mordred's kingdom)
- Kingdom of Logres
- The Grail Kingdom (represented as after the contemporary even "Dolorous Stroke")
- The Realm of Barnerot
- The Realm of Darnantes
- The Risen
Other features will include custom models and scenes etc. I've made various scenes already, and a few custom equipments, though for the moment most things are just retextured native items, or just a showcasing for some of the OSP items, including some of narfs splended armors.
The mod will also feature custom music, as well as faction specific.
A look at some pics:
Logres castle
Amorous City
Gippa
Caerleon
Camelot
Various faction troops
The foundation for the mod is in place; map made, all center locations placed, troop tuples named and most factions equipped. What remains is work for The Risen equipment, putting in the system for magic and classes (the code is already made just needs to go in), various other models to be made.
It should be important to know that the mod is currently in hibernation until work on 268 B.C. is completed, though for the process of mod forum requirement I am announcing this now, and also to welcome discussion on the theme, and perhaps to see if anyone might be interested in contributing.
