Title: 3 Additional Factions
Post by: Lenin Cat on December 25, 2013, 01:08:48 PM: Soooo, after eliminating the Senate, Brutii and Julii we will have 3 free slots. I chose 5 factions I would like to have here and I would like you to vote.

Post by: Cuddly Khan on December 31, 2013, 10:13:15 AM: I went for the one that sounded the most familiar. (Picts because I think they're in AOE 2)

Post by: Jubal on December 31, 2013, 04:11:59 PM: The current Britons are basically badly stereotyped Iceni anyway, though it would be nice of that was made explicit. My home turf. :)

Post by: Silver Wolf on December 31, 2013, 04:39:00 PM: Well that's fixed in RTW2.

There are 5 or 6 factions in Britannia, Scotland and Ireland.

Post by: Lenin Cat on December 31, 2013, 09:04:31 PM: I might rename Britons as Iceni. Give suggestions for them in the "Help Lenin" thread.

Post by: Silver Wolf on December 31, 2013, 09:53:00 PM: That would also be a mistake.
Not all Britons were Iceni.

As I said (and confirmed by Jubal) Iceni inhabited the area of Norfolk:

This is how they are presented in RTW2:

As you can see they were given a bit more relevance.

As far as I remember, in RTW1 Britons are presented as confederation and that's why they start with the whole island united.

Post by: ahowl11 on January 01, 2014, 12:31:37 AM: Yeah the Britons in RTW represent all 'Britannic' Peoples as well as the Belgae

Post by: Skull on January 01, 2014, 12:36:22 AM: Add something new,most of the factions posted here are really common to see in mods.
Title: Re: 3 Additional Factions
Post by: Lenin Cat on January 01, 2014, 08:50:29 AM: As far as I can see Picts will certainly get a place, along with Illirya.

Post by: ahowl11 on January 03, 2014, 04:35:45 AM: Do you have any work done yet? I'm anxious to see what you make
Title: Re: 3 Additional Factions
Post by: Lenin Cat on January 03, 2014, 08:00:22 AM: Sure... I have some work.... somewhere...
Um, Work? Where are you?
Sorry, I will try to do some skins until Monday.

Post by: ahowl11 on January 03, 2014, 08:26:25 AM: Look at it this way (I learned the hard way with HRTW). If you make something and release/preview it and people compliment you and want more, it is a lot easier to make more.

When you promise things but never do it, you just keep on promising things that never are made.

All I am saying my friend is that if you get something made, post it and it will propel you to stay dedicated to the mod. :)
