Deon, you scare me. Why is there a Warhammer Chaos star and the words of khorne? Are you doing a Warhammer mod? ^^

And yeah, I am freezing my ass of atm, hiding from a thunderstorm in Spain. No modding till mid june or so. ;)

And I assume you mean creature sprites, and not tilesets for the humans ;)
Nope, I am just reworking the production chains and adding new creatures to my Fallout mod currently.

And of course I meant creature tiles.

i would like to suggest that instead of basing the sotherners  noble structure of the late roman republic rather then the empire. I would be willing to give it a go my self. i would need to do some tests on how world gen and the game in general handles elected postions but i have ideas of how to handle this  except for pro-consuls.

I would like to see Roman empire mod, either during the republic or the empire. Bunch of nobles: consul, senator, questor, censor etc
Maybe even with all names and items in Latin.

If you're going for a more historical approach I don't think English should be the westerner language since English was the Saxon language before the 12th century were it was the language of the common people, the language of the noble was Latin then it became French, and don't when English become the court language of England since the king of England viewed himself as duke of Normandy before king of England.

the Latin language is for the southerners(Romans) not the generic westerners. furthermore English was only spoken by English commoners and at the time England was a bit of a backwater. since early Anglo Saxon language more similar to its Germanic rout language then modern english  and allot of the action in  the period happened in central Europe maby we should use something more Germanic then modern English

I thought about English (West), Finnish (North), Arabic (East) and Latin (South).

14th century is the time we are aiming at. Obviously it would be more correct to use archaic versions of these languages, but I wont go through that much trouble. If someone else wants to do some ye' olde english, I would gladly use it, but I will be busy with modding workshops and reactions. ;)

cool does anybody know how to trigger the kings arrival easily?
edit:
also i was thinking of having the landholder stagers.
baron - military outpost ~ not sure on the exact details but your baron equivilint will also be head of the military.
count - province governed by propraetor ~ more civil administration propraetor still head of military
duke - governed by proconsul ~ similar to above but more lavish

king level ~ full blown republican government

Aren't there already cultures?

I'm pretty sure that sometimes all the humans in my sieges have turbans and sandals and scimitars and giant killer cheetahs, and other times they're riding horses and have tunics and braieses and halberds

Dwarf fortress in 50 words: You start with seven alcoholic, manic-depressive dwarves. You build a fortress in the wilderness where EVERYTHING tries to kill you, including your own dwarves. Usually, your chief imports are immigrants, beer, and optimism. Your chief exports are misery, limestone violins, forest fires, elf tallow soap, and carved kitten bone.

It would be nifty if (possibly only trader) humans could trade for the religious texts of other cultures and do their prayers and such. Also, humans as a whole should probably have higher endurance than most other races, probably higher than they currently do. The whole developing as a race that hunts by following things around till they die of exhaustion will do that to us.
