In the wake of despair left by Stronghold 3, I have decided that it is time for a few good SH2 mods, since this is an area which is sorely lacking. Imperium Condita is a roman modification of Stronghold 2. This mod will include: Better textures and graphics Historical military units New historical music Historical factions Changed game mechanics (i.e. Honor becomes Glory) Different voice acting (eventually) A new campaign New maps And much more on the way. I understand that SH2 is an older game, but it is still loved by many, and it has great bones for modders. This is an experiment to see whether the gaming community is interested in SH2 mods anymore. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

In this post, I'm going to address the question of languages within the mod.

Posted by on

Greetings fellow gamers. I am posting this to give you all an update on the progress of Imperium Condita. In this post, I am going to answer a few questions you have asked regarding the mod's language. It has come to my attention that the watchers for this mod are incredibly divers. We have people that span the globe, from Canada to New Zealand. This was something I was not expecting and am very excited about. (thank you again for all your support) So the question has come up. What will this mod be like for non-English speakers?

This mod is going to include new voice acting, and a new campaign. These will both require voice actors, of which I am the only one. I was born in the United States, and I am a native English speaker. My skills with other languages are essentially non existent. For that reason, I am not going to embarrass all of you by attempting to speak in a foreign language. (trust me, it would sound awful) The de facto language for this mod will most definitely be English. I know that many of you can speak multiple languages, so this shouldn't be a huge problem. But it will mean that some may not be able to understand the game. For that I am sorry. However, if you are all willing, I might have a solution. Would any of you be interested in translating for me? My idea is that, we could pick one or two major languages, such as German or Spanish, and I would send you all the material in the game, to be translated into that language. Of course this would require voice acting on your part. So that is something to think about.

As it stands now, everything is going fairly smoothly. Textures are progressing, I'm developing my map skills, and recently I've been working on an original score for the mod. But your patience is still appreciated. Still no release date on the horizon. But things are moving along. Up till now, I've been posting screenshots on a fairly regular basis to keep you guys entertained. But I would like to know if there was anything in particular that you would like me to post instead? I understand that pictures are sometimes not enough. Let me know if there is anything else you would like to start seeing.


Until next time, your faithful servant.
