m7600 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 This thread is for the development of a Medieval Fantasy mod. @Stan`has done work on the Elves and the Dwarves, the idea would be to complete them and incorporate them into a single mod. It would also be necessary to make other factions. Here is a possible list of civs that the mod would have, but the list is subject to change of course: Elves Dwarves Humans Lizardfolk Merfolk Orcs Undead Regarding the name of the mod, Stan suggested either Bellum Artis or Polemikó skáfos. At this stage, we mostly need ideas and a good design document. For example, what Wonder would each civ have? We also need a story for the mod, and stories (or a "history") for each faction. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some fantasy models I commissioned from the modeller Kwaliti to produce rendered sprites for Wyrmsun from which might be useful for your project (if the models can be made work with Pyrogenesis): Skeleton Warrior https://github.com/Andrettin/Wyrmsun/tree/master/models/units/undead/skeleton_warrior Orc Spearthrower https://github.com/Andrettin/Wyrmsun/tree/master/models/units/orc/spearthrower Hobgoblin Warrior https://github.com/Andrettin/Wyrmsun/tree/master/models/units/hobgoblin/warrior Gnoll Warrior https://github.com/Andrettin/Wyrmsun/tree/master/models/units/gnoll/warrior Clay Golem https://github.com/Andrettin/Wyrmsun/tree/master/models/units/construct/clay_golem Hope this helps! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m7600 Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 @Andrettin Thanks! I had never heard of Wyrmsun, but I'm checking out the repo. I see it uses the Stratagus engine. Very cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopess Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Can anything be used? I remember centaurs, minotaurs and a giant Nordic wolf. Maybe by changing the minotaur's head and putting on that of an ogre lol? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Probably yes. They could be merged somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 If you look back far enough, there was some pretty nice content made for Elven structures back in the day when I only had double digit posts to my name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m7600 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Maybe there could be several elven factions, like forest elves, city elves, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 It looks nice! How many polygons? I suppose we could save some by making the three wooden beams combinations part of the texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m7600 Posted April 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 It's at 1.104 tris right now. It could probably be half if the wooden beams were part of the texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Indeed. The funny thing with those wooden beams is we can reuse them to use them as the scaffoldings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the whole project (IIRC), yes, but I imagine the individual structures wouldn't be breaching copyright anyway, unless they were directly based on buildings from LotR official games.

m7600 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 On the other hand, if a book enters the public domain 70 years after the author's death, then Tolkien's works will be in the public domain by the year 2043. Copyright lengths vary from country to country though, so the 70 years in this case is just an estimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
