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 mighty fleet of ships and assembled a vast force for the colonisation, in as peaceful manner if possible, of as yet undiscovered lands.
The stage is set for a 500 year conflict which will culminate in the wrath of the Weaver.
THE MODIFICATION
The modification itself was begun as a way to make public an original fantasy concept. Included in the modification will be seven factions, each with its own cultural, religious and military character. There are not cliched struggles between good and evil, but a realistic and multi-faceted representation of the fact that there are multiple sides to every story. The modification will feature a new and original score and voice acting performed in the languages of the world of the Ilsamiren Wars, including battle orders and speeches. Originally this world was invented as a setting for a series of novels recounting the Ilsamiren Wars. These books never came to be, but the framework for them was laid, including two languages, distinct in their vocabulary, grammar and scripts.
THE FACTIONS
There are seven factions (each with its own culture):
The Ilsamiri
The Seaborne
The Mechathenain
The Northern Kingdom
The Ocean Tribes
The Western Kingdom
The Southern Kingdom

this mod is dead
Would be a shame if this mod is dead...
seems that somebody put a real big effort in this! But I think this mod should be for Rome TW !?!?
seems that this mod moved on to the cry-engine 2 (crysis)
maybe Ilsamir_Lord could put a info here!
Yeah, I should have archived this long ago. Sorry about that! Please check out the mod on the CryEngine 2 Profile - linked in the most recent news on this page.
And thanks for watching!
Out of all the mods for medieval 2 this one and third age look the best... no offense to the other guys :P
whar game do i need for the download when its ready? just rome total war barbarian invasion
Keep up the good work! I've been watching this mod for SOO long and I'm glad its coming along! You will be a God among men if you can make this mod work :D
Well, the development process drew to a grinding halt as the exam period descended once again, but now I'm on holiday I plan to do some more work on the mod, but probably only for my personal enjoyment I'm sad to say (unless I get some dedicated modellers, this iteration of the mod is sunk).
I'd really rather focus on a different project from here on in (if I can't get the support necessary for a public release) - two years of work with almost nothing to show for it, save a map, a lot of information and background and some concept art doesn't really cut it.
I'm considering branching out onto another engine (with a reworked concept in a similar vein), but my aim in modding from here on is really for self-sufficiency and independence - which includes modelling, mapping, animation etc. My ideas aren't strong enough, it seems, to maintain the input of others :D .
If this last effort doesn't come off, I'll be sorry to have disappointed any die-hard fans (and the few team members who really strove early on), but modding, I discover, is a hobby which works best when you can do everything yourself!
This concept isn't dead, but the modification is on its last legs, and I hope that the Ilsamiren Wars concept will be seen in its complete form in the future!
As I say, demo for year's end, full version hopefully not too long after that :) .
Dude, amazing. This is going to be amazing. Any ETA on the arrival? I think im gonna **** myself im so excited for this mod.
Well, I'm hoping for at least a demo by year's end. As to having the mod and vanilla playable together that shouldn't be a problem with a mod-switcher, such as MedManager.
