Awesome Beta, good music too!
Gjallarhorn is an awesome band, and now I know more Pagan/Folk-bands from Scandinavia thanks to this little Beta.
I hope the Frissians will be there in the full version.
Keep up the good work! :thumbsup2

It's a submod in the sense that much of the basic work, such as banners, models, textures, etc., of ArthurianTW have been used.
Yes I expect to improve this mod somewhat - as I progress I will expand the map and add factions; and yes, kdssow, the Frisians are to be included.
Cheers!
What's the status by now? I'm so excited, finally a mod that is actually making good progress these days, I can't wait for the full version!
Hi all,
thought I'd give this a look, but upon loading the splash screen I get a CTD with error message which tells me that the file "...barbarian_large_city_underlay.CAS" does not exist.
Any thoughts?
Edit: Nevermind, typical user error.
This looks quite interesting - nice to see a smaller focus mod! I was just thinking about a mod set in the Beowulf era and region, so it's cool to find this still being worked on.
If I had a suggestion, it would be to keep the focus nice and small. Personally, I would love to see the map expanded just a tiny bit - to include the lands of the Frisians in the southwest and the lands of the Beowulf-era Swedish kings around whatever that lake is called to the northeast. I would actually leave out Britain, southern/central Germany, and anything beyond the immediate eastern coast of the Baltic.
You could have a very tightly-focused campaign then, which would avoid the problems and pitfalls of a Europe-wide map - which would be practically required if you expanded into southern Germany and Britain. I imagine it would be hard to accurately represent only a fraction of the Frankish kingdom, for example, so you'd be tempted to include much of France; and you could hardly include the Franks without including their neighbors, and so on and so on... It would open a big can of worms, I think.
If the campaign began in the mid 500s or so you also wouldn't have to worry quite so much about modelling the migration to Britain.
Anyway, that's my own selfish wish: a *slightly* larger campaign map (so I could replay the fight at Finnsburgh or the ravages of Ongentheo), but still keeping the great focus you've achieved so far.
At any rate, keep up the good work!
Thanks for your suggestions and kind comments :thumbsup2
I have a small fix for you - nothing new really. The reason I upload it is because some of the music-tracks were a bit off, so I felt I had to do something about it asap:

Just replace your "amleth"-folder.
Cheers!
If Beowulf appears here, then I'll play it!!!
Cool, an update!
I will upload the files on RapidShare shortly!
EDIT: Done! Although a bit messy...
R.I.P Megaupload :(, damn those federals. :disgust:
EDIT: aside from ranting against the US's new policy of destro...[Cencored by SOPA for telling the truth.]..the internet.
How is the mod doing?
So, I added a proper download now, including instructions.
I altered a few text-files (names, mainly) otherwise it's the same tale.
I might upload a few screenshots soon for advertisement ;)

That looks nice, cheers :thumbsup2
Hey, I've downloaded the mod and put the correct paths in, I think atleast I have since they seem to be the only ones that actually get it to semi work. Anyway anytime I try to play the mod RTW vanilla comes up. what could be causing that? Please reply I really want to play this mod.
Could you give me the paths (excluding username etc.) you use in the shortcut? Usually when this happens, it's because of one or both of these being wrong.
I hope I can help you, and thank you for your interest.

PS. Also make sure the "amleth" folder is inside the "bi" folder.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:bi\amleth -nm -show_err
"C:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War"
I've looked and the amleth folder is in the bi folder.
Also my computer runs windows 7. I've got the compatability mode set to windows 7 so I don't think thats causing the issue. I also got BI patched to 1.6 and I just got done reinstalling BI just incase.
Looks good enough - though, I strongly advice that you place your installation elsewhere (not in the "Program Files (x86)") since I've experienced problems modifying the game when it has been placed there. Try a path like: "C:\Games\Rome - Total War" and then place the "bi"-folder containing "amleth" in this directory. And of course, as you seem to know, make sure to have a clean BI 1.6 installed.
Also, the game automatically creates a folder called "amleth" inside "bi" if it's not there - only containing preferences etc. This means that in case you placed "amleth" in the main directory, it'd look like you've installed it correctly even though all the files are wrongly placed. (If you have an "amleth"-folder in both the RTW-directory and the "bi"-folder, that's the problem - not saying that you did this, but I'm trying to find any possible explanation to what is causing the problems you're experiencing).
