Custom Rosters
Every Faction will have their own custom roster with specialized troops. While some units will be similar across Factions I will aim for some variation. Certain Factions will also have specialized units in accordance to the lore (eg, Winterhold won't suffer snow attrition, Whiterun has better Cavalry).
Custom Battle Maps
This is what I'm most excited to work on, custom maps based on the towns and cities in Skyrim. I'm currently designing and modelling the architecture of the buildings in Skyrim. Which will then be used to bring Skyrim's locations to life in Attila. You'll be able to recreate historical battles as well as simulate your own.
Campaign?
While it is firmly at the bottom of my To-Do list. A Campaign is definitely something I would like to add. Thanks to the amazing work of the Dawnless Days team. A Campaign editor may soon be on the horizon. If I ever do get my hands on the tools in the future I will certainly have a go creating a Campaign.
Hey Guys, I've been super afk and frankly haven't had much time to work on the mod for a while. My modding process was extremely convoluted and needlessly complicated which caused me to take a break for a few months. However playing some Morrowind and starting a new Skyrim Playthrough gave me the inspiration I needed to get back to work. unfortunately I realized that when id migrated to a new PC a few weeks ago I'd deleted all my work...whoops!
Regardless I was inspired enough that I have completely started over. and frankly I'm better for it. I've now got a proper plan ahead for getting everything I want into the mod at an appropriate pace. So in theory the mod should be finished before ES6...As well as this I'm changing the design aesthetic of the mod. moving away from the medieval themes I'd originally gone for in favor of the more Nordic styles present in OG Skyrim.
As well as working on getting new Armor, Weapon, and Shield models into the game I've also had a deeper go at creating the unit cards. Where before I was relying on images captured in game. I've instead gone for a more stylized approach, using images of the Elder Scrolls Minifigures as a base.
So rest assured the mod is still being worked on, this time in greater detail. whilst everything is subject to change I'm still aiming to work on this as much as I can to get a version released ASAP.
This is the first Faction I've been working on implementing, Dawnstar. Utilizing Meshes created by VaultMan30, I've been putting together Armor sets to...

What can we do to help?
Keep being awesome!
Looks great.
How would mages work? Just missile troops with different ammo types maybe or something else entirely?
Finally, a update!!! Once two factions are fleshed out, I would say upload the mod so people can duke out in custom battle.
what a great job!
can't wait !
Have you though about doing this in a wider sense, similar to the Elder Scrolls total war mod for Medieval 2? I would love to play the Empire in Attilla
As much as I'd love to create a mod that encompassed all of Tamriel, I believe it'd be far to big of a goal to achieve. Unfortunately I'm just one person and I don't want to be working on this for the next 5 years 😅
I didn't know about this one before today. It looks like a great project.
I wish you all the best of luck on this mod. I'm already looking forward to the first release!
