Default Which Mod.

Hello.
I am writing here because I would like to start a mod.
I can do skins and basic coding (weapons etc)
I have done little mods on generals, such as making the paladin into a tank destroyer and making the firing distance of a firebase longer, and making nuke cannons transportable.
and a half completed new civilisation mod in age of mythology.
If you would like to see some of my age of mythology work say and I will post it.

I am interested in making Generals mods, because I love the engine and the gameplay of generals.

I am also a writer, and it worries me to see lots of mods without campaigns.

You might remember me from other forums where I am known as ekklitz, here I have accidently said I was under 13 so that name is taken, but if an admin is here please can you change my name to ekklitz?

Well if anyone is interested heres what I have so far inway of Ideas...







International Strike Force

After the Merging of the European Union in 2025 oil was at an all time low, Billionaire Australian business woman Eva Ripley located huge oil reserves off the north east coast of Australia. From these oil reserves she became the richest person in the world, she lived happily for a while, until her family, holidaying in the United Arab Emirates were killed by an explosion, from a bomb dropped by an American plane. She needed revenge for this and stopped selling her supplies to the USA and all her allies. The USA and Russia had other supplies of oil, and so did China, But the EU had ran out long ago and had been buying from Russia for a long time. Russia stopped selling its oil, but the EU was already well equipped for this situation, most of its vehicles were solar powered by now, they understood the problem, but were still struggling to cope without the oil they needed for some of the bigger planes, lorries and boats.
The people of the EU soon got sick of late shipments and there were mass demonstrations in the streets of every capital city of every former country in its boundaries.
The resourceful UFA decided this would be a great time to strike, lorries were packed full of explosives, drove into the crowds and detonated, he first bomb struck in Paris, where the biggest demonstration was being staged, the second a few minutes later in London accompanied by a third and fourth in Rome and Berlin, after this what appeared to be a small convoy of oil tankers from oil reserves in Arabia, sailing up the river Tiber, Thames and the seine, proved not to be, they were small armies of UFA terrorists, equipped with tanks, APCs and Kalashnikov armed gunmen, these exited the ships and caused millions of deaths. They then dropped there weapons and exited there vehicles and blended in to the cities, so that they could fight another day. Europe was terrorized, President Giovanni Albertini was furious. He promised four times the army personnel thrown at anti terrorism, and his promises were never forgotten, that day; the UFA had awoken a sleeping dragon.
On the other side of the Globe Eva Ripley watched news reports, she smiled sadistically and made plans to contact a leader of the UFA in the morning.
The morning couldn’t have come quicker; she posted a news article on her website, within two hours her article was the second most common news article on television globally, and in four hours she was contacted by Patrick McNeil, the leader of the Irish sector of the UFA.
The PI was born and allied to the UFA.
All the countries around the world thought this news article was a sick joke posted by a hacker; this was backed up by the article being removed and a press statement by Ripley.


Why This is good

1. Lots of different charecters
2. Relates to real world happenings
3. Interesting storyline






Americas Rage

It was 2020 and America was hit with a volley of terrorist attacks. A new politician rose from these disasters. His name was David Kay and his head was full of treacherous evil.
He made promises to the American people and became more popular than the president. What the Americans didn’t know was that he was an evil Nazi.
Kay made calls for an early election and the people of the USA were behind him. It was a huge defeat for the old president and the first act Kay did as president was lock him up.
A few days later and the Americans were still cheering for Kay.
Then Kay’s plan was unleashed. A nuclear missile was launched at Louisiana, and another one at Alabama, Killing millions of black Americans. The threat was then made that if white Americans didn’t co-operate they would be next.
The American flag was changed to incorporate the Nazi logo. Flights in and out of the USA were suddenly cancelled, and America had no contact with the outside world.
Kay rounded up all the people he did not see fit to live, Blacks, Asians and people that didn’t believe his Extremist form of Christianity.
All Heroic people that rebelled against him were shot in their houses.
Americas Army was full of Brainwashed soldiers, and soldiers that were too scared not to fight.
If anyone refused to fight for the USA they and their family would be exterminated in the most painful way.
After rounding up all the people he didn’t think were fit to live, Kay invaded Canada. Nuclear missiles were fired, and Nazi tanks rolled across the border. Anyone trying to escape Canada was executed.
Canada’s power stations were attacked first, ensuring that no message could be sent out.
However the Americans were just too slow.
They failed to intercept one Canadian passenger Jet, which was flying blind across the Atlantic, Its destination was unknown.
This passenger finally landed, its crew exhausted at John Lennon International airport, in Liverpool, United Kingdom.
The people of Europe were shocked and a quick unification was made.
The European Union was now one state.
They prepared to sneak an attack on the United States of America.
This would be Covert Operations- European Style.
A crack squad of the finest SAS Operatives was sent over to northern Canada, and there they would begin their mission.
Bigger battles would come later, when all of Americas Nukes were disarmed.


Why this is good

1. Chalenges reality
2. Carries a lesson (dont always trust people)
3. America is the bad guy for once
4. Features a side not yet covered by CnC







Pirates 2200

Real civilisation broke down years ago..
Wars between the earths great powers lead to a Nazi government in the USA, Nuclear war happened and the world is infected with radiation.
Also Global warming has made the icecaps melt and the world is covered in water
Humans are now an endangered species and their population is now spread across a few islands thatare not infected by radiation.
These Islands are numerous and still, after all that has happened the families controlling them still cannot find piece.

The Families are as follows

The Kay’s

These are descendants of the evil dictator that is blamed for ruining civilisation, they still run by his Ideals and only people that agree with them are allowed on their island.
They rely on tremendous firepower to keep them dominant.

The Kalashnikovs
The family’s real name was lost many years ago, but the family goes by its nickname- the Kalashnikovs. This family is believed to have originated in Russia but they now live on a small Island located near modern day South Africa. It is unknown how they got here. They rely on their speed to keep them dominant.

The Cannavaro’s
This family is believed to be descended from a famous Italian footballer.
They have now reverted to stereotype and rely on dodgy dealings and well balanced army’s to keep them on top.
(PLAY IN CAMPAIGN AS THESE)

The McGuinnes's

The McGuinnes's live on the largest and most populated island- Ireland.
they believe in strong family tactics and use their huge population to their advantage.


The Khans
This is a group of families. They come from all over the world and are believed to be originated from one man from Mongolia. This group of families relies on its impressive artillery and its no remorse tactics.

The Borhani’s
This family is believed to originate from the Middle East.
They rely on sneaky tactics and hit and run attacks to stay dominant.

These families are constantly at war with each other, alliances have been made and broke but as always Humans cannot learn and they are at war.

The family that successfully defeats all the other families will become the shogun, then the world will at last be at piece.

Why this is good

1 Completley different to anything else
2. is a sequel to Americas Rage
3. Many charecters.




I also would like tohave 1st person action in the films and have a good voice actor ready to do any voiceovers anyone needs.

Well if yiou would like to help say...

After reading the topic about getting help I'll post some concept art.

eurpoean Union logo







PI Logo




Cannavaro Logo




I have also made a flash movie conceptabout a unit called the turret bomber which will be featured in a mod.

OMMFG...this would be nice to pull off...but you gonna need like a team of 500 people to cram all those ideas... the reason most dont have a campange is because of the long stretches of work that has to be done...think about it... mapping...scripting... for about 7 maps for however many armies you have...not to mention intros...you gotta have some of them

I dont want to do them all! I just want to do one of them, then after that possibly another.
Whichever story is most popualar I want to do that.
I think that the ISF one would work out easier but the Pirates one would be more origional. Anyway which ever one is more popular here I will want to do.
What do you think of the storylines anyway?
I'll do a few more logos later.
is anyone interested so far?
Or would you like to see more?

UPDATE:

I've made the Mc Guiness logo..



Iv'e also made a Nazi American Flag, which would be displayed in the game if that mod was chosen.



A very important and disturbing scene would be when the real american flag is taken down from the whitehouse and the nazi one is put up.


Just a reminder of what I can do- Textures, storyline, unit ideas, websites, basic unit coding..

Well i would really like to start one of those mod ideas...

P.S if your wondering why the Nazi american flag only has 36 stars- many of the southern states have been disregarded along with alaska and Hawai

You probably dont want to do the one with America being overthrown...you may run into some problems with people taking your mod offensively and etc..

Anywho, need to work on storylines abit, all of them kinda sound really fiction, but I guess its something different for once, usually all the mods these days are about the same things, WW2, Cold War, Vietnam...the list goes on..

Just some constructive criticism...dont take it too seriously..

So why would an "evil Nazi" government that seized control of the United States throw out the part of the country most sympathetic to Nazi ideals, as well as the state most eager to Solve the Canadian Problem?

The nazi one isn't a good idea, it is too realistic :P

I would say after a while, you need to rework the story. Not remake it completley, but fix it to be a better storyline.

That is what people have suggested for my Aki War Mod, and that is what I am doing!
