Articles - Gods & Fighting Men - Total War mod for Rome: Total War

Many centuries before the rise of Rome, and far to the west in the land of Eire, there lived brave warrior-poets and fearful druids and enchanters. Future generations would look back one day and name these men as heroes and some as even more…This is the story of the gods and fighting men of Ireland! This mini-mod takes the Ireland map and some of the models of Arthurian: Total War and transports them back in time to the days of the hero-god Lugh of the Long Arm. It is a period of darkness in Eire, where the Tuatha De Danann struggle against a foul race of invaders known as the Fomor and their dread King, Balor of the Evil Eye. Mighty high kings, terrible armies, mystic powers and enchanted artefacts are all in motion as Balor seeks to slay Lugh and thus prevent the fulfilment of the Prophecy - the Prophecy that Lugh will slay Balor and thus rid Eire of the Fomorian menace.
