Update news - Total War - A Game of Ice and Fire mod for Total War: Attila

Hi,

Firstly I want to say thank you for the patience that you have shown me since first announcing this mod. This is the first time I have posted anything on ModDB for a while, this is due to personal reasons at home and also because I have been so much more focused on getting progress shots on Discord.

With that being said I am posting this to give ModDB fans some information on the progress that has been made on the mod in the time I have last spoke.

- New shields have been kindly created and shared with me by Avelium.

- Some old models have been revamped, recreated or re-rigged where needed, to match up with the quality in the later models created by BM for Seven Kingdoms.

- I have been slowly managing to make progress on the new balancing system (as I am new to this side of modding) the system will be similar to the Vanilla AOC DLC units, with a focus on armour, shields and speed of different houses and units. With each unit type having its own strengths and weaknesses with most units having a good counter unit or tactic to defeat them.

- I have also been working on optimising the models and textures in the packs to make the upload/download of the mod smaller, it is also being reorganised so that modders that wish to make submods or make changes for their own fun will find it easier to find the relevant files that they need.

- Finally when it comes to UI I have created a new base UI that I think works with the mod very well, also new unit cards are being worked on by two of my discord followers who have created a great unique hand drawn style, with a good mix between Age of Chalemagne and Thrones of Britannia that I think really suits the mod well.

I still haven't announced a release date because with everything that is going on in my real life with work, etc. I don't want to get your guys hopes up on a date only to be disappointed because I am unable to meet it. However I want you all to know that this mod is still very much alive I try to work on it every chance that I get and as soon as I am 100% sure I can hit a specific date, (probably once I am in the testing phase and I know how many bugs I need to fix and how many suggestions I may need to implement) I will be able to announce it.

I hope you are all well and safe with everything that is going on in the world right now and I look forward to speaking to you all again soon. There will be new uploaded images of the finished release versions of Houses coming soon. These will show all the new shields, visual changes, etc and if you have any questions for me please join my discord by clicking on the link in the description where you can either talk to me personally or with the little community I have there that may be able to help you.

All the best,

ScouseSicario
