Yes, the title is real. For a few months now, the thought has been in and out of my head and today I decided we should AT LEAST TRY IT.
Currently installing it all as I type, Gigantus has helped me understand what we could potentially do with this. So below are a list of thoughts and ideas, and facts.
1. This will be an attempt to port as many RTW features over to the M2TWK engine as possible. Hopefully the game will feel like RTW, instead of M2TW. This means: UI, units, animations, music, sounds, etc need to be RTW and not M2TW.
2. Some features: 31 factions, 7 cultures, 10 religions, unlimited DMB, 500 edu, 200 regions, loyalty, hording, shadow_factions, better ai, better scripting, merchants and other agents, permanent stone forts, video messages etc
3. No we will not focus on multiple textures and models for one unit. It will be like RTW for right now, one model, one texture.
4. Remember we are just testing this. Gigantus is the best of the best when it comes to M2TW modding and he even ported RoTK mod from RTW to M2TW, so he knows what to do, we just need to follow his instructions.
5. Please leave comments below. We can discuss faction list, etc once we get something ported.
