The Kingdom, A new world to explore (not hiring yet) Options

[AP Erebus]

Hi. My first post here cause I was getting sick of the Official Forums.

I'm currently designing a completely new world in which political intrigue and feudalism dominate the political landscape.

I'm not considering this as a Total Conversion becuase I have no experience in game programming. I'm more looking to create a complete world that uses many of already made models, textures and weapons. This is not to say that I'm not considering creating more weapons, building and stuff but to minimise this becuase it takes lots of time. And I can't draw for peanuts to give modellers idea...

Anyway...

The Kingdom

Goals for the Mod

The goals of The Kingdom mod are as follows:

* To design a fully realised world in which the player feels a part of a vibrant, living world. This includes terrain, fully developed history and political environment.

* To have a developed economy that makes sense and is realised with area specific traders.

* To create the world using the TES Construction Set (CS).

* To write, design, and create fully developted plotlines for all the major and minor factions and people in The Kingdom.

* To create custom buildings, items, and weapons using 3D Studio Max.

* To design numerous dungeons, caverns, cities, towns, villages, camps, caves and other places for the player to explore.

I have designed 3 Duchy's that have contending and completely different feels and looks. These three duchy's are always attempting to gain favour in the eye of the king and the king's court.

I have also draw maps to flesh out the world...

There are 3 more maps at the wiki. Just click the map link in the sidebar.

I have created a wiki using PBWiki where I am keeping all the information at the minute. If this ever gets further off the ground I will probably attempt to host some sort of web-page here.
The Kingdom Wiki

I'm not "hiring" at the minute, more looking to flesh out my ideas and see if people are interested. This is possibly too big an idea but big ideas can be made smaller. If people like the idea I definately need a web designer and someone who can write fiction and stories. But that's if people are interested...

Well there it is. Not really the official launch yet. Just testing and sounding the waters...

Thanks for the support and thoughts.

Well we are "flying" - ish

heres a little snippet of concept art that JeromeMorrow has done for us... This is King Arcle the 3rd...



Heres a book that has been written...

The Heresy of the Magi

Of the three major heresy's, denying the gods existence, denying that they are the true gods and defying their power, there can be no doubt that the last is the most serious.

Those who deny existence can be shown the light and wonder of the gods.
Those whose faith has deviated can be steered back to the true path.
The problem with those who defy the god’s power is that they feel that the gods mean nothing and they are above the law,

Such is these Magi that hideaway in the mountains and forests. Their ill-gotten power us an offence to the gods and the manner in which they defy the Churches orders cannot be excused or ignored.

Citizens of The Kingdom should be very wary of the Magi and their thirst for destruction and chaos. Fortunately, the Ormailers are safeguarding this kingdom from the heretics. These noble soldiers of the gods not only keep peace in the temples but travel to these heretics’ foul hideaways and deliver the Church's penance.

However it should be noted that even the formidable Ormailers cannot prevail against conjured horrors, balls of fire and ice and the touch of paralysis. Courage and steel is all that they have to fight the legions of the dark heathens.

Know that your Church is protecting you as we fight the ever-lasting struggle against these Magi.

May the six watch and guide your steps.

check out the wiki for all the latest info, sign-up to our forums. Make suggestions, register your interest...

And watch this space for the official launch of the mod... it's coming soon
