I have an idea for a 1-5 Player, AOMTT overhaul/Rpg called "Age Of Spartacus". I'm a huge fan of the spartacus series on Starz & thought how cool it would be to play through the servile wars as spartacus and the slave army.
The campaign will follow Spartacus through his time in Thrace as part of the Roman auxiliary, to him being made a slave and sold to the house of Batiatis, his rise to glory in the arena, the slave revolt, and all the battles that followed with a chance to change the course of history.
Now my skills only go as far as map design, but here's my idea.
The "player(s)" will start off as a "hoplite" version of spartacus in the Roman auxiliary. One day after a slight altercation with a few Roman soldiers, you and the rest of the thracian soldiers attack and defect from the roman army, causing there commander to flee in shame. A few days after returning to your village the Roman commander returns with more soldiers to capture Spartacus and the other thracians.
The "player" will then become the "slave (villager)" version of spartacus to be sold as a gladiator. Upon ariving at the ludus (gladiator school) the other players (if any) will take control of either "Crixus" ,"Agron", "Gannicus", or "Onemaus", each with their on color and group loyal to them.
After completing the training objectives the other "players" will become murmillo heros. The "Spartacus" player will become a "heroized", "renamed" Kastor with 2 swords and some stat mods.
After learning of your wifes murder at the hands of your slave master, you begin plotting the revolt and your revenge. You can turn the other gladiators to your side by beating their leaders. After all the gladiators are ready you can revolt and kill all the roman soldiers and citizens in the house of Batiatis.
Then the msecond campaign map will trigger, It will still contain Capua but also more of the surrounding wilderness and the base of Mount Vesuvius. This part of the campaign will be about building your army. You and the rest of the escaped gladiators will roam around the Roman countryside from villa to villa killing slave masters and adding there slaves to your army to prepare for the small Legion of soldiers that Rome has sent to destroy you.
Defeating that small Legion and killing the Roman commander who condemned you to slavery will trigger the third campaign map. This part of the campaign will require you to constantly keep your large army on the move as Rome will continuously send out Legion after Legion to destroy you.
From the first battle with Glabber, to the last battle with Crassus, you can kill them all and change history by going on to destroy Rome itself.
Now my problem is I know nothing about triggers cinematics Or character modeling but I am currently working on a 4000x4000 accurate map of that region of Rome & Capua & cutting audio files from the show to use in the cinematics.
I would like for this to be a full overhaul like the "legends of the Middle Earth" mod. Need assistance with all of the above and making custom attacks for the characters with custom war cries straight from the show.
Any programers and modders can contact me atKRAZYLOKO214(at)GMAIL(dot)COM With some of the masterpieces I've seen you Geniuses make on here what I'm wanting should be a walk in the park But still a good game.
THANK YOU.
