Iron Europe: 1914-1916 Mod Page Launched At Moddb.com

Here's the page we just launched on the moddb.com website; it shows some of the modding work we have completed:

Progress on the mod has been going slowly but steadily.

I guess I'm learning that modding a video game is a little bit harder than I thought.

Essentially, you have to make a lot of models of everything you want in the game, in order to give it that certain authenticity of how things looked during the time period which is being focused on.

We have an excellent modeller who goes by the nickname of N!ghtmare.



Now, if we could just find even one more modeller, and of course even better would be two, I think our modding team would be in excellent shape.



I could also use an additional Researcher and Writer, so if you ever wanted to write a few pages about a WWI battle, based on the maps we are including, and have it electronically beamed into people's homes 24/7, which an audience of mostly males, ages 13-45 will read before they enter into the game, please contact me.

In addition, we could also use someone who would like to research uniforms, weapons, army structures, and research the maps by finding historical and modern photos on the internet of the geographioal locations featured in the maps.



We will also eventually (although I would say we are probably a year to a year and a half away) research the French Army and have a series of maps based on the battles they fought in WWI.

I think we are going to avoid Verdun because another modding group is making a mod based on the Verdun battles.

Instead, we can focus on Ypres, the Somme, Champagne, and Alsace-Lorraine.

So, we could use someone who has a good reading knowledge of the French language.

We will also need French Voice Actors to say some commands, phrases, and insults, and we will include those recordings inside the game.


We are not a business, so learning about the First World War and helping make the game is a rich experience in itself and is its own reward.
