LE Command your own army, take over locations and declare war on all of S

[Sarus31]

There have probably been several similar requests such a mod in the past, but this one is alittle different.

 

This mod would allow you to not only gather a large squad, but also let you build and outfit an entire army

and fight mass battles, take over forts and cities etc. Your army could be from a variety of factions, the obvious

choices would be Imperials, Stormcloaks, Forsworn, Bandits etc. But you could also have Falmer, Dwarven

constructs, Giants, Thalmor, The various holds of Skyrim, Dremoras, Stronghold Orcs, Dragons, Undead,

Dawnguard, Vampires, or even an entirely new, customisable faction of your choice.

 

Another feature would be a player capital, for example Falmer would have a huge underground lair to call

home. For the Dwarven constructs you could have a huge Dwemer ruin to defend, or if you where leading

Giants, a huge camp on the Tundra would be your base. For Orcs you would have a mega Stronghold/Fortress

for your army to train, For the undead you would have a evil looking Castle to reside in.

 

Another feature would be faction wars. While you lead your own army to glory, there would be AI factions doing the

same thing but on a smaller scale. And the more you progress through the mod, the more smaller factions get

wiped out, the tougher the remaining factions are. Of course you could always disable this feature with MCM...

 

 

I'm just brainstorming right now, so my apology's if my idea seems rushed or doesn't make sense. Please tell me

what you think, post any of your own ideas, etc. I also welcome any constructive criticism.

I'm sorry to tell you this but the mod you requested is a LOT of work. The scripting itself will take ages (for most modders.) It would take months of battling through glitches and play-testing. I myself am in the spot between noob and average, (a novice if you will,) and I know the modding community well enough to know that almost all modders are busy with their own projects or are planning their next project. You could always try to do this by yourself, but there are very few scripting tutorials out there, (you would need to do a lot of scripting for this to work.) Your idea is amazing, but people don't realize the work modding requires. Alas, one day, a veteran modder might stumble upon this and HELP you, (I can promise you that he/she will most likely not do this project all by themselves.)

 

Good luck, friend.

Thanks ekmanor, I am a CK noob meself lol. Nah... I am not expecting anyone to make this mod, I was merely brainstorming an awesome concept for such a mod. Glad you liked my idea though.

An option you can use is Amazing Follower Tweaks, which allows you to control several followers at once. Making your own custom followers in the CK is also fairly straightforwards, and there are plenty of tutorials available (in fact it's a great way to start modding). That's how I've managed my own little warband. Nothing on the scale of armies but you can certainly get the same sort of scale as the vanilla civil war quests.

[Sarus31]

Aye, I have made my own follower packs (not uploaded yet) and you can achieve the same results as you mentioned. I was wondering, I've wanted to make a Falmer army for ages now, are there any tutorials on how to make creatures into followers?

 

Edit: I guess not lol

Hello there,

 

There is a mod on the steam workshop that you might find appealing, and can do some of what your asking. It is in alpha right now with a lot of testers. It's called "Build your own City - Become a Lord"

 

I don't use it, but am following it on there to see what it becomes. Might be worth checking out.

[MerDryad]

I'm supporting this. It's an interesting idea And I hope a modder who is interested finds this soon

[Sarus31]

Build your own city? I'll have to check that out, nice find Scorpiovaeden.

Edit: I guess not lol

I found that mod on steam workshop yesterday!! but the sad news is it's only 33% complete

However the option of declaring war on other holds is yet to avalible, so I guess best thing to do now is waiting for it.

 

Edit: wrong post quote LOL I am talking about build your own city mod.

maybe, if you mix in the become high king of skyrim mod...?

never tried it myself, but its features seem vast enough to maybe help cover your attempt.
