The Ilsamiren Wars

Medieval 2: Total War mod | TBD

This is the Ilsamiren Wars, a modification for Rome: Total War the Barbarian Invasion and the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It is an entirely original concept. THE STORY The world of the Western Continent is generally peaceful, but for the occasional raid on the Ilsamiri by their neighbours of the Northern Kingdom and the Seaborne. These raids have of late become increasingly regular and organised, however, a poor omen. The Ocean Tribes conduct their civilisation quietly among the Islands of the Dividing Sea and the Southern and Western Kingdoms carry out their trade and agriculture under stable rules, but they too are increasingly threatened, largely because of their close relationship with the Ilsamiri. On the Eastern Continent, the Mechathenain civilisation is preparing a mass exodus. They have been driven to abandon their once fertile land by the encroachment of the desert from the centre of the continent. Rain has not fallen on their farms for almost 100 years, and so they have constructed...

A big announcement for the Ilsamiren Wars today!

Well, thanks to oscotty, the Tsar and Goatbuster3000 (of the TWC) my map is now in-game, albeit in a single settlement form.

To prove it, here's a screenshot. I stress that this is a WIP, but it did turn out better than I thought it would, considering its the first bit of height data I've ever made.

The brightening is caused by windows picture viewers auto-correct function. The region in game was beneath the fog of war.

The image is of the mountain range called the Final Wall, Ar Hlan Kires in the language of the Hoir Lechan (the Northern Kingdom, literally True God's People), and the Dwindling Forest, Or Thenor Firige in the Ilsamiren language as spoken by the people of the Western Kingdom (Heirua Domer). The lake behind the range is the Icy Lake (Ar Todh Licher). There will be two cities in this shot when it is finished, Varas Thenor and Enuth Licher (Forest Gate and the Icy City).

In battles the mountains range from looking pretty awesome, when far enough away, to downright ludicrous, beacause some of the height ranges are too extreme. I'm working on it :) .

Cheers Comrade ;) ! Watch out for the demo before mid-year!

To the authorisers - Hi guys, just thought I'd try to get this one through again. I know it doesn't have six images of a helicopter with three million guns on it, and the text is probably really dominating when compared to a bright orange alien landscape, but perhaps you'd consider giving me a reason next time you decide to block a legitimate (and mile-stone level - from my perspective and that of most modders of Total War games) news post.

If you can't stomach giving me a reason here, perhaps you could PM me.

Yours irritably,
Ilsamir Lord

PS - Don't take revenge for my having an opinion by blocking my most recent news item, I'd truly like to get that one through.
