So i'm thinking of getting a group together to design a mod to the game starting in Beta 5, and continuing past release. I'm thinking something a little more "Traditional Fantasy" although i'm open to good ideas (an alternative idea I had would be something post-apoclyptic (similiar to the Fallout Universe) or even something more futuristic more similiar to say Alpha Centauri)

Anyway just trying to see if anyones interested. There is plenty of time to prepare a mod, even prior to us having the tools to implement them so now's the time to start planning. The first step is figuring out what to make (what would people like to see?), designing basic assets (We could really use someone with Havok skills), and planning out the changes to be made.

If your interested in helping out, send me a private message. If you have any ideas for what kind of mods you'd like to see reply back.

Edit: Well I see theres a post already asking for ideas on what kinds of mods people would like to see - don't know how I missed that before... so I guess no real need to duplicate that info here....instead I guess I'll post some basic ideas below and let me know what you think of them, and let me know which of the three you'd like to see more.... if anyone has any better ideas you can of course still post them below, and i'll come up with a similar draft.

Traditional Fantasy: A traditional Fantasy Mod would be a bit more similar to MoM, Age of Wonders, etc. You could expect to see classic fantasy races such as Elves, Dwarves, orcs, Undead, etc.

No real need to go into a mockup story (for the post, obviously the mod would get one) as you all should get the general idea.


Post-Apocolyptic: The end of the world has come and gone. Mankind has been all but wiped out in a Nucular holocaust that reshaped the world. Races in the game would include "unaltered" humans, and mutations of various sorts. Different types of factions could include Savages, people re-inhabiting ruins of the world, and people whos ancestors took shelter in underground bunkers (think Deep Impact if you've never played any of the fallouts) to survive the end of the world.


Futuristic: Mankind is on the verge of extinction. A plague has caused all but a rare few to die out. In an attempt to repopulate the universe with life, a group of the last surviving humans created machines (android like maybe? This would essentially be the equvilent of the soverign in Elemental) to bring life to another world. On the way there, the ship carrying the machines is damaged, and they get scattered across one single planet. Each machine attempts to create life as best it can based on the corrupted data in its memory banks, leading to numeous huminoid but not quite human races.


Anyway those are just the very basic ideas... I can of course provide more if anyone is interested in hearing them.... and once again if your interested in helping make any of them please let me know.
