-------------------------------------------

This mod is for FoC adding PFF as a faction into EAW FoC fighting the other three factions. Only original units from our minds can be put into the game by putting them on paper/paint/paintshop or anything else. Once they're seen on "paper" they will be modeled and coded into the game for our thirst for blood. A new faction being the 4th that will strive for galactic conquest in the Star Wars world.

-------------------------------------------

So we have Dragonshadow back willing to help who wants to texture our units after we choose what texture we want? Droid wanna come up with more concept while I come up with more land based ones? Need some land units and a base idea  :

So just so you know, I'll aim for you having to start with a hero then going around killing other pirates to gain loot money. Once you gain enough loot to start building a HQ, then you can tech to tier one units for your factions.

 

Examples:

 

Vader and Palpy would be on their ship in space near their Death Star after episode 3. They would then go around 2-3 planets building it up while protecting it from Pirates (Rebels would come in far later, or I'll try to have them come later). During this Pirate raid the Republic would turn to the Imperials when teching to Tier one (or have it start from Republic then turn into the Empire somehow) once the researching is done, they would get prototype Tie Fighters. Tier two could being Tie Fighters and what we're used to seeing, Tier three could be after a New Hope and so on into familiar ground.

 

Rebels could start off with just Obi-Wan on an asteroid going from planet to planet recruiting like minded folks gaining cash somehow. Since they're on an Astroid maybe they could get a bonus from that (As with the Empire having Coruscant). The Rebels can build infantry that hi-jack stuff from the Imperials which they get to keep afterwards to strike back. Using that special ability the Imperials would be careful what to build and leave fortified.

 

For the Pirate Faction you get a choice at what hero to build and then build up using that lone hero. You would get Chewie's special to hi-jack ships (like the Rebellion) and build up your forces that way. Yes you can still build an HQ but since its already built you can tech right away to other pirate ships (since they're weaker in a way).

This will be another faction beside PFF and you will see similar units but slightly modified (if things keep moving).

Will update and keep this thread clean, will be clean regardless. If you have unit ideas, concepts then post em here, if just random chit-chat will be deleted.

Install Note

- Step 1: Make sure you backup your similar original CA files (*in case you want to put them back).

- Step 2: Copy / paste all the files we provided in here >>> Example: D:\Games\MTW2\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

Overwrite the old ones. Enjoy.

The RDM Mod is a WIP (work in progress) - The 1.7 series are just initial working versions in today's MTW2 limits. RDM is a general type modification that mixes different modding styles (EB/RTR) with the game industry style of work and planning. Our goal is to reshape and remake MTW2 to reflect a more realistic and fun gameplay, better art and better historic accuracy.

Gameplay tips:

-When attacking with assassins - always move and strike in the same turn and make sure that your assault starts from outside the visual range of the victim or it's spies - this way you may double your chances for a kill.

-When your city is attacked also make sure that you always sally with your cavalry first and you take out his ranged units and then you move your ranged units to fire even at the closest ranges with leisure until they run out of ammo.

-The inquisitor spawning is in direct relation with the local faction standing with the Pope. They are a sort of punishment. Make sure that you don't forget about your duty for God.

********************************************************************************

New - Modifications in version 1.8.0 Iron: (Expansion from Nevada Modding Association "PFF - Because we care")

- NCDS National City Defense System "Iron". This is a massive gameplay modification that targets the city defense national support garrison system. Each city that was/is owned by a national faction (not rebels) will always spawn a spear unit for each siege equipment constructed on the spot by the attacker (*5 rams = 5 spear / 1 ram = 1 spear). Note* In the original capital cities 1 ram will equal 2 spear. This system is for AI and the player but does not apply when assaulting with catapults and such. It is considered that the attack in this conditions was so fast that the defenders didn't had time to prepare city reinforcements because the attack may happen in the same turn. This system helps counter the initial rapid player/AI expansion tactics and counters the AI issue of not garrisoning fast enough his cityies to face your forces. If the local faction will try to retake their city then the local city troops will not spawn and fight against him/you.

- CCNG Capital City National Garrison. This system basically spawns just once a national small garrison army in defense of the capital city. It only applies when the human player is attacking and it is meant to increase the fun and gameplay experience. Even if the capital was conquered by another faction if you are not the local faction it is considered that the remnants of the initial local nobles (traitors) who are allied with the new ruleing faction will fight against you too. Also Jerusalem and Constantinople are the cities who have the most interesting defending armies also based on the local owner religion (*especially Jerusalem).  so if a muslim factions attacks Jerusalem and it is defended by a christian faction a small crusader army will spawn once in the city defence. Same with the muslim having the city - mulsim troops will be spawned. Pls. note that larger armies spawn just once in the game.

- AIS AI Initial Support. This is a script that gives to the AI factions (not player) at the start of the game 5000 gold to kick start their economy. This counters the fact that the AI sometimes starts to build stuff that he does not immediately needs for the campaign's start.

- AFS AI Financial Security.  It is very easy to disturb the AI's economy and make him go on financial downfall. You just need to take from him some key cities and left most of his deployed armies intact in the provinces. By the time he will manage to raise to face your challenge his upkeep costs will get the best of him and virtually kill/freeze the faction and they will never evolve or recover. It is also possible to request huge sums of money for ceasefire damaging his income flow because he will stupidly accept your offer. Because of this issues the new system will activate it's self each time when an AI faction has -1000 gold so by the end of the turn they will receive a money transaction to help them jump over the zero. This transaction is not felt by the human player in the gameplay - pls note that the AI will avoid hard not to go on minus so the support he gets is only related to your actions so it is very rare and the AI will not exploit it because he does not "know" about it.  The AFS system is designed to keep the game experience fun when fighting a specific faction until that faction is fully destroyed.

- No other difficulty modifications have been made since we consider this to be sufficient and we are more action orientated. Also we prefer more to help the AI a bit than to handicap the human player.

- CA Nomad Resistance - If a nomad faction has the last city destroyed and still has a character somewhere on the map they will become nomad again until they are fully destroyed.

- The diplomatic relations should be a bit calmer now at the beginning of the campaign helping you to establish more lasting alliances. Even so if you love alliances we recommend playing on medium difficulty.

- The bug showing the Aztecs, Mongols, Timurids in the year reports until they are discovered has been fixed. 

- The bug showing multiple nomad invasions warn has been fixed.

- The Hungary's evolution has been better channeled.

- The Russian development has bee better channeled.

- Better unfreeze for the nomad factions.

- All known minor bugs are fixed except CA's ones.

Best played on Medium/Hard settings.********************************************************************************

New - Modifications in version 1.7.7 Premium:

-Brigands and Pirates are reverted back to their original CA spawn rate. In previous RDM versions they were spawning twice as fast.

-1.7.7 Premium has also reverted to the 0.50 timescale (1 year=2 turns). After we did more research we consider that the generals’ age normally.

-Even if we added one unit of templar and hospitaller, etc in Rome we do consider that nobody will bother the Pope until they will become available historically. Also the Pope is now in Rome and The Papal States will be less aggressive military speaking.

-Extensive testing has been made so the factions will evolve even more historically. Most of the factions that need to attack the rebels from the early start will do it. All the Premium modifications have been done 95% to rebel armies and only 5% to the faction armies and only in 1 city per faction - to avoid messing with the CA faction balance. (5% = 1 more spear unit, 1 level up of experience for the general, etc). The goal was to keep the modifications minimal as possible.

-The radar has been removed for the Aztec faction when playing but it will be still restricted/hidden if playing any other faction than Aztecs. This is not affecting the normal radar map unhide for the rest of the factions at the appropriate time.

-The Aztec armies can only be loaded on ships on the northern parts of the empire (follow the coastline). Also avoid upgrading your cities (CA issue - you will no longer recruit there)

-The Jerusalem religious troops have been partially reduced - 2 units of Pilgrims have been added and 2 of fanatics removed. The idea is to hold a bit the Egypt’s expansion until the Turks can start to expand too.

-The Byzantines will take Sofia and only as a second stage they will move towards Asia Minor.

-Denmark will first concentrate his expansion on the northern lands.

-The Timurids and Mongols remain allied to the Turks. The invasions will come at their normal time so if you are playing one of the nomad factions pls. consider your self an early expeditionary force.

-The faction standings have been made more aggressive towards the rebels also some factions are no longer good friends and it will be harder to ally them from the start. Still the changes were in the minimal limits required without really messing with CA's numbers.

-Wallachia and Moldavia are still strong rebel provinces. (The rebel troops there are more wallachian now - rebel magyar troops have been removed from Bucharest and Iasi).

This version has been named Premium because of the extensive testing and balancing involved. Our motto is: "Minor changes for maximum historic effect while sticking to the original developers gameplay balance and vision".

Best played on Hard settings.

********************************************************************************

Old - Modifications in version 1.7.6:

-All the mod's data has been centralized and there is no need for new-faction separate files.

-All the new faction's AIs are now freezing from start if not played by human. If the AI plays them they will unfreeze (tested) at the time of the first invasion armies spawning or at the usual time for the Aztecs. By freezing the new factions AI to play before their time the CA strategic balance of the game is maintained.

-The nomad factions starting number of units on the map if played by human is minimal because of the low upkeep.

-The Turks, Byzantines, Spain, France, Scotland, England, and Hre are more aggressive now towards rebel settlements and they will attack faster.

-Jerusalem units have been edited to add 4 religious fanatics units.

-Rome has also been reduced and edited to reflect more the papal troops present there (+ one cathedral). One unit of fanatics, templars, hospitallers, swiss guard and great cross have been added the city.

-The Byzantines start now with one orthodox bishop and one high bishop (cardinal).

-More small tunes to rebels for better historical faction evolution balance.

-The starting date is now 1080 because of the existing starting historic CA characters at that time. The end date has been moved to 1700 for more playtime.

-1 year = 1 turn (timescale 1:00) if we reduce it to 0:50 (2 seasons) the characters will have a huge lifetime span - they will get around 100 years old. CA has 2.00 so 1.00 is more than sufficient.

Enjoy and feel free to post your feedback here. (*More feedback = better next versions) Also pls. note that all the old versions can still be downloaded.

********************************************************************************

Old - Modifications in version 1.7.5:

-Aztec faction AI was freezed (if not played with - until normal unfreeze by CA scripts). The aztecs are now added on the same map as playable faction. (*Many thanks to repman from TWC)

-All reported bugs have been fixed.

********************************************************************************

Old - Modifications in version 1.7.4:

- The double year and jihad message reports are now fixed as well as the problems when loading a save game and playing as Mongols or Timurids. Even on this new setting the invasion will come Invasion Image. When the time is right all your family members will exit the castles and settlements to pray to Allah and greet the incoming clan leaders.

- The 2 turns = 1 year - fully fixed. Timescale 1.00 was changed to 0.50 (*Many thanks to Trajan from TWC).

*******************************************************************************

Old - Modifications in version 1.7.3:

- The Mongols and the Timurids do have the invasions coming/spawning when the time is right. Also please note that you will get the "end of year rapport" twice as well as any religious war message. The inactive year message is actually inactive - don't bother about it.

- The Aztec invasion files have been separated (from the main mod files) to avoid them being too active while you play another faction.

- The simple CA rebalanced optional play file has been also upgraded.

******************************************************************************

Old - Modifications in version 1.7.2:

- The Turks are rebalanced to better face the Byzantines. (*very small changes)

**************************************************************************

Old - Modifications in version 1.7.1 Patch:

- The Aztecs, Mongols and Timurids campaign are now supplied on different files/folders to avoid them being on the same map enabled. If you want to play any other faction just use only the single txt file from this folder "Simple rebalanced CA campaign version" on the clean CA install.

- Scotland & England AI problems are now solved and other fine tunes have been introduced to affect a bit more some faction AIs in a historic manner of evolution.

Pls. note that v1.8 is still in work - this is more of a gameplay patch for v1.7

******************************************************************************

Old - Modifications in version 1.7:

- The Aztec faction is fully enabled (in the building limits of CA). You can buy your way around the Americas or you can use a huge amount of gold to get a chance for a preemptive invasion of Europe. But first you need to defeat a huge uprising at home by Aztec nobles and native clans upset with your rule.

- The Mongol faction is fully enabled. (*You are an early clan leader but at war with some of the nomad clans and Russia - This was enabled because your units don't have upkeep and you will receive less money too to rebalance the low costs). When the rest of the unseen Mongol clans will unite under your rule the invasion will start).It is preferable to use the "more reasonable nomad invasions" file if you play a nomad factions. Also because the upkeep is zero we strongly suggest playing on hard difficulty campaign setting - so you will still have a challenge when playing.

- The Timurid faction is fully enabled. Use the same indications as for the Mongols. They are allied with the turks and not at war with Russia but only with the mongols. Also mos of their units have upkeep so the faction will recieve a bit more money.

- The Papal States are playable with ease. Calling a crusade is a bit difficult though. Attacking a faction will excommunicate it instantly and you also get to play with the inquisitors. You have no family btw.

- Walachia, Moldavia, Zaragosa and the Hamburg region have been modified to better channel the neighboring factions historic evolution.

- Spain, France, Germany, Byzantines and Russia got 2-3 more units to help with their AI evolution.

- 1 year= 2 turns remains

- Starting ending dates remain like in 1f.

- Two additional files (in folders) have been provided in case you don't want to have the new factions enabled but keep the existing faction tunes or you want to have more reasonable nomad invasions. 

****************************************************************************

Old - Modifications in version 1f:

- Starting date is 1054 and ending date 1630 (covers the need for more time).

- All factions playable except the unfinished ones by CA  (that will give CTDs opr miss buildings&units).

- 1 year = 2 turns (seasons)

- Wallachian regions a bit stronger (most independent regions in the area - +2 units)

- Spain Armies a bit stronger. (+1 unit)

- Papal States playable - still WIP.

Old - Modifications in versions 1a-1e

-Small tunes to unit locations, rebels, money updates, extesnive testing.

I've just finished the recruitment tree for Imperial Stormtroopers... As some of you may already know each Branch (Imperial Stormtroopers, Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, Alliance SpecForce, Alliance Army, and Alliance Fleet) will have its own recruitment tree. This tree will include five tiers for the mainstream units, a split of branch of specialists, and their own commando team.

For Example:

Imperial Stormtrooper Branch:

Basic Infantry: Imperial Stormtroopers

Specialized Infantry: Imperial Storm Marines

Commando Infantry: Imperial Storm Commandos

I've also discovered something pretty interesting with the ground units while I was searching for a way to cut lag in the ground battles.

It's possible to have armored units move and fight in formations (Squads like the Infantry).  When you use the infantry locomoter it dramatically cuts down the amount of lag in ground battles and enables us to have much larger scale engagements.

I'm planing on releasing a short modification to the basic game called EAW - Grand Battles or something along those lines to showcase the change and the dramatic increase in scale it makes available to us.  Unfortunately I'm also going to have to make some dramatic changes as to how maps are designed to fully take advantage of this change... If you're familiar with the open environments that were in Total War, you should easily get an idea of what I want.

One last thing, yes I maybe a mech addict but i'm still sane enough to leave Star Wars original and if you don't like anime well then tough luck  ;D Well its not dead since one unit is being rendered finally after 2 months -.- Don't blame me that modders don't want to help me, I asked everywhere.......

When my unit is finally rendered it will be shown around only if anybody is interested  : Well thats if work stops swamping poor bex here  : If your interested post here to see the new weapon of war (if your out of the loop and don't know which unit i'm talking about).

The AI hasn't been doing much in my playtests and I'm afraid that my new tech tree may have something to do with it.

If you want to join the team who will create the RDM modification for MTW2 pls. reply here. Our final design documents are still in work and we wil appreciate if you want help with them. Now we are proud to present our alpha splash screen:

About the Death Star - do you think it would be a good idea to have all the ground troops in a space battle garrisoned in the Death Star, if present, rather than waiting in their defenseless space transport ? Much like the Imperial heroes before the 1.03. I think the Death Star is big enough to carry troopers and AT-AT ... And it would be more logical, i guess.

( About that, do the DS count as a capital ship when you want to use TIE Bombers in a ground battle ? And do you have an unlimited supply of TIE Fighters when doing the Death Star space battle ? I didnt build it since ages )

The AT-ST/A makes its presence felt on the battlefield.

Death Star Map

Description (If tools allow me):

This map will be for up to 8 players on a single map so 4 vs 4 if you want. Rebels will start you in an empty Hanger bay and the Imperials will start out inward in the more protected area of the map. Imperial Guards and free storm troopers will constantly pour out of the Elevator shafts to drive out the Imperials. I'll figure out the rest when the tools come out but there will be 2 other hangers which will be for AT-ST's, AT-AT's and those other vehicles (except Tie Scouts). The Second other hanger would be for Tie Fighters and Bombers and if anybody wants to expand on this they could or I could leave this something like Kuat.

XML Coder:

Ground Skirmish formations will be completely seperated from the galactic conquest and campaign formations, they will be different in their performance as well to reflect the difference in Gameplay that Skirmish will represent.

Ground skirmish formations will have a rate of fire equal to Legendary units (With a few exceptions) but an accuracy equal to untrained formations, thus making combat swifter then in Galactic Conquest.  Also the skins used by the sides will be the normal ones from the game in Skirmish, while the skins used in Galactic Conquest will be of my own design  ;D  Also some units will not be available in skirmish mode, specifically those infantry formations that utilize custom skins (Army Troopers, Swamp Troopers, Hazard Troopers...)

So Skirmish will play different then the primary campaign... no big deal.
