News / Update
Just a general heads-up for now; we'll get some demonstrations up by the end of this week once we've got things sorted. So, what do we want to announce? Well, something some of you may like and others may not like (we're not sure what the reaction will be) but we're changing the theme of the mod by quite a bit. Actually 'quite a bit' is 'quite' an understatement.
We're switching the mod's theme to steampunk / fantasy; it will still retain realistic elements, but fantasy elements will be incorporated and will serve as a major part. But does that mean we'll be scrapping guns? Nope, quite the opposite. Guns will still be a major part of the gameplay, but weapons such as swords, shields and bows will also be a major aspect of gameplay.
The mod is still going to be heavily roleplay based, and due to that fact we've gone and written 'extensive' (extensive meaning a page or two giving a background to the world) lore for the mod for those of you who will be interested. Though it is still being tweaked.
Anyway, have a few teasers. I know they aren't much, but something is better than nothing, right? :wink:
A Varlathinian (Elf) test, which is really just a human with borked ears
(just for testing, so please ignore the fact it is broken as we know what the issue is!).
An Oecil (Orc), or rather two pictures of Oecils (Orcs).
Novum Mundus will still require Napoleonic Wars as we do plan to keep all NW elements we've integrated thus far for the 'Human' faction
News/Update (A few screenshots)
A couple more screenies showing off some of the new props we've grabbed and are now using. The idea behind this scene is to show off what mappers can create, but also to give a little backstory to the Varlathains of Eria (Elves), a now destroyed empire. This scene shows a bunch of ruins; a small portion of what remains after the previous wars between man and Varlathain (alternatively known as 'Elves' by man).
If you look closely at the second image you can see a small camp established by a scavenger; there a few items lay, recovered from the ruins, or possibly some of his own posessions.
