For Game Modders

[JakobLiar]

Hey, I just had a brilliant idea! Are there any game modders on here? Any that do Medieval: Total War II? I saw someone do a LotR mod and was wondering... Birthright isn't too much different from M:TW II. Why doesn't someone try to do a mod of Birthright for it? Anyone up for doing it? I don't modd, but was hoping to give some inspiring ideas for things that would be great in it.

*sniffles* But Dragon Age isn't an empire-building game is it?

Well, you wouldn`t want anyone to spoil it for you, would you?

That said, the game is very much at the adventure level, but
conceptually there is an interaction between what we BRers would see
as a domain level of play. Unfortunately, that`s not really
articulated in any sort of actual game mechanical way, so the setting
and gameplay are really very much oriented towards a more
"traditional" sense of adventure and play.

Still, it`s worth a look for fantasy gamers, and BR fans in
particular, if for no other reason than the fact that it works as an
example of how one might conduct an adventure based on some large
scale diplomacy, adventure, espionage and similar domain
actions. The setting has a few ideas when it comes to how the races
are treated and treat each other that could be easily `ported into BR
and used as inspiration for role-playing. I`m thinking in particular
of the attitude and persona of the elves, who differ from BR elves in
many ways, but do have a similar "oppressed" vibe going on. Dwarves
are also very interesting in the same sense.
