you guys should have several factions (at least most of these here):
In Chile: Araucanians (Mapuches)
In Bolivia: Chiriguanos Benis Lupacas
In Peru: Incas Collas Chancas Chinchas Soras Pachacamac Chimu
In Ecuador: Cañaris Quito
In Colombia: Chibchas
In Central America (not including Mexico): Maya kingdoms
Mexico: Triple Alliance (Aztec Empire) Tarascan Empire Tlaxcalans
there's some more and I can help you with each one; but I'd like to know how many factions will be included in the game.

If you looke here you will see that we have already decided what factions we are placing within the game. At the moment it is too late to add or change any due to all the work we have done on faction descriptions and models. Although your knowledge of the language and the regional history may very well be usefull as we get closer to the release and realize things we may have missed. At the moment our desperate need is skinners and coders> Do you have interest in learning these jobs or taking on some delegated work in these areas augcaes? Do you own RTW?

Yes I do own RTW, and I love it.
Anyway, the number of factions in RTW is 20 and for this idea that you guys have there's only 12, I think it would add more to the historical accuracy if you included some more.
Oh, and I'm sorry but I couldn't really help you with the skinners/coders issue. But once again, anything related to the history, clothing, even names of places, or weaponry, let me know.
I wish I had found out about your project earlier.

OK, the map for the mini-mod will be an edited version of this. I'll probably cut out Cuba and Puerto Rico and orient it a little more north south as people would expect.. If you want to see the provinces that will be included you can reference them here.

Uhm, have you not been reading our restructuring of goals? The mod will eventually include all of south america. Thart map is a quarter of the one created for the mod containing only four of the 12 or so factions we are going to include. We are going to release a mini-mod simply to get something out and garner continued attention and feed back. We chose the Mezo-american region simply because it is the only one we have begun modeling buildings for. I suggest you read this and is will help you understand what our plan is at the moment. The text in within the box defines our current goal.

all right that clears up things a bit.
So your focus at this time is to finish up with the "Flower Wars" And spend some more time with the grand project including south america later, right?

Post by Rah'Majashan on Nov 5, 2007 19:22:42 GMT
Correct.
We want to get something out and we need to test the bugs. By releasing a bit at a time we feel gives us a better work plan than simply waiting till everythings complete.

OK, I think its time to update a move forward some of the objectives. In the vien of several other mods I have been looking through I think we need to begin thinking about presentation on the TWC. One of the ideas I have is we should introduce each faction, give a little history, and introduce some of the units within these factions. The only issue with this at the moment is the lack of skins. I hope the skinners are approaching their skinning in a faction by faction manner.
We can include this in the Newsletter, which I will be updating and presenting a revised first addition, then the following editions each will include one faction that we focus on. This will also include banners and faction icons.
What say you all to this?
