Who would like to see a mod for TEARC adding an "english" faction?

[Oddball_E8]

Ok, so ive been thinking, for a long time now, about replacing the imperial state with something a bit more english...
its not becuase i dont like the imperial state, but more because i dont really see how the imperial state fits in the mod as it is now... all the other factions are slowly introducing firearms to their armies in small numbers.
there must be a reason why the numbers are so small, probarbly because of the difficulties in constructing firearms.
IS on the other hand have seemingly unlimited access to firearms, from the best elite soldier down to the lowliest farmer recruit... it just doesnt make sense to me...

and i also feel the game lacks a proper english feeling faction. So far there are russians, spanish, ottoman-ish, bysantines and two german factions. One of these factions german factions should (IMHO) be replaced by either a french or english faction and to me there is more of a difference between german medieval units and english than german and french...

anyway, since im not really planning on releasing this mod (since d'sparil would probarbly kill me), im just checking how many agree with me on this...

No english faction, ever.

 

[Bunduqdari]

The Bermianese are french-like..

I don't think an English faction would fit the mod, honestly. I don't like most British people(:p)

 

[Jackamo]

You dare to insult the Imperial State!?

Never!

A mod is nothing if there is no background, you can't ram in 5 totally different factions and expect fun. You'll just have flavour and no substance. To be honest we don't even know the lands beyond Calradia, maybe the Lion Throne conquered it before coming to Calradia?

All flash, no photo.

I say! 

But yeah, the Imperial State is awesome. Why would you want it replaced by a bunch of longbowmen in tights?

Actually, we kind of do thanks to Jan Boruta's map. And most of it is conquered.

We do. Check the Compilation of Lore. Jan Boruta made a map, just for us. But yes, the Lion Throne has conquered most of it.

im not saying the faction is english... im just saying there is no faction utilizing longbows for example... whilst there is a faction utilizing nothing but gunpowderweapons in a world where gunpowder weapons are supposedly kinda rare...

Where did you get that impression?

 

[Venitius]

Every single major faction in TEATRC currently has a dedicated troop (not necessarily from the villages) that uses gunpowder.

Then why the hell would there be a faction that utilizes only guns in this "world" already?  The mod that was created by D'Sparil is this world you are talking about, how you interpreted it as something else I dont know.

 

[Boomie]

The Nirdams are always handy. You can mod yourself into getting a more abundant Nirdam resource.

And we all say no to an English faction, ever.

And the Lion Throne aren't Byzantine, they're a compilation of D'Sparils evil brain.

 

[Bunduqdari]

Those Nirdamese longbowmen are simply awesome. Best mercenaries in the game IMHO.
You see when it comes to mercenaries, it's not only about the power but also about the background and stylish looks. I call every one of them Ishmael 

That's why I think those Highland guys, Reiters and Halmarian Pistoleers are simply awesome too. But I never like the Bermianese for example, as I get the feeling they are  not trustworthy and would kick you in the nuts when they'd get the chance. But they're great for when you play the bad guys.
At least that's kinda the idea I get when roleplaying..

I dunno if any of that made sense but this is why I'd prolly go on a genocidal rampage(in-game ) if there was an English-like faction.

 

[DSparil]

This thread made my day, awesome.

 

[Jackamo]

What part of the thread made your day though?

Hmph, replacing the Imperial State, I can't believe you had the odasity to even consider that! Garrrh!

 

[Danath]

This thread shows serious fanboyism for the mod and factions 

I can almost imagine D'Sparil singing this 

 

[Toffey]

I'm pretty sure the whole board shows serious fanboyism. Just look at the last few pages of the "Tribute and Universe Expansion" thread.

 

[Servitor]

No english faction, ever.

Edit: Damn, Tiberius was a lot sooner. 

Hmm... I don't want English people. For some reason it would conflict with every faction speaking English.


I don't understand myself either.

 

[Jackamo]

The Imperial State and the Holy Swadian Empire are both German oriented, but they are no way the same thing. Bah this is an insult to my honour.

 

[Servitor]

You mean you want an entirely German based faction? 

WHILE WE'RE AT IT, THROW IN A DUTCH ONE PLEASE.

Edit: No wait. Don't. Seriously.

 

[Oddball_E8]

wow...

certainly alot of fanboyism.. or hatred for the english people (for some unexplained reason).

im kinda curious about the whole "no english faction, ever" attitude... what brings that on?

oh and i "think" guns are rare, since they are rare... most factions have one single troop type that has gunpowder weapons... that gives me the impression that its kinda rare...

also, i know that IS is most peoples pet state (probarbly because of all the "cool gunz") but it still feels odd having a faction completely relying on guns, especially since most other factions only have a single unit utilising gunpowder weapons, and theyre usually at the very top tier of ranged units.

i am thinking about changing the swadian crossbowmen to longbowmen tho.
