God, I wish I could get this.(Along with any number of PC mods)
I'm a member of the small minority that really likes the darker vision of LOZ set forward by Twilight Princess, so even though I'm usually not a fan of RTS, I would download this in a heartbeat just to see the sort of massive LOTR style battles that were mentioned in Zelda lore but would've been too violent to actually be part of a game.
Also, the fact that the mod contains races from all the zelda games means that if there's any story at all to it, It would have to address the timeline. Maybe the modders figured out something we haven't... though most likely not.

...this is a mod for medieval II total war, right?
I just want to be sure I'm getting the right game for this mod. I'm literally staring at the steam page for the game, my mouse hovering over the buy button.

Theyre currently working on campaign. Trying to sort out the last five factions first though. And they have about six or seven "Ages" of Hyrule to it. That's why only certin factions would appear in certin "Ages" It's kinda hard to explain. Like certin factions like the "twilight's" only appear if a certin amount of pre-requisites are made in the campaign. They are addressing the storylines.English Stew said:
What I noticed was the units composed of giant single units accompanied by many little minions. This is a very interesting unit design that the vanilla game simply doesn't use (elephants are the only truly large units, and they do not have a hoard of minions). That makes them quite similar to dogs and pigs from Rome TW, the only member of the series I really play.
I'd toyed with the idea of doing a little zombie mod for RTW-- replacing the various rebel factions with rather vicious zombies. Currently the zombies are simply unarmed barbarian peasents with unbreakable morale and extra health points-- but this mod raises the bar so high that I have zero drive to continue

did... did i just see a goron beat the shit out of a zora? What part of that makes sense? I would've thought they would be on the same side, but whatever.
Having said that, it looks like pure gold in digital form, a gem of a mod.

They so should have made a whole team of Links, over the different iterations of Zelda and have them as a faction!
You got Fantasy into my RTS! And it tastes magnificent! I got shivers of joy when I saw the spider army.
I'll buy Total War 2 just to play this mod alone. I can't wait to crush some Zora skulls with an army of Dodongos =D
And Midna has her own army?, I'd like to see Midna beat the shit out of Zelda =D

Holy shit! That's awesome!
I don't even play this game, but now I'm going to get it just so I can play this mod! I like strategy games, so this should be fun!
I'm downloading it now!

Well, I've downloaded this and played it.
I REALLY suck at this game. But the whole zelda themed army thing is keeping me interested, even when my band of koriki get massacred by gerudos, or my ordonian famers FINALLY reach the battlefield......only to find that moblins have massacred BOTH my allies, and are now coming for me.
I like it. Once I actually understand how this game is played, I should be able to enjoy it even more.

Gotta love the Total War Modding community.
Looks great. (animations look a bit jerky though, but otherwise pure awesome)

It's fairly cheap (about 7? in Germany, don't know about others) by now, so go for it. Even Vanilla is much more then worth the price if you like RTS.Top Hat said:
