Belgariad and Malloreon Civs

[Geraldo Diego]

The Kingdoms of Boundless Mallorea.

We have posted the Alpha version of The Kingdoms of Boundless Mallorea to the Steam Workshop. (search on Melloria or Zakath)

This is the second in a series of 20 mods. Please let us know what you think. We are very interested in your comments on game play balance. The mod is rich in history as far as the fictional world of David and Leigh Edding's Belgariad and Melloreon Series.

The goal is to complete all the civilizations, then compile them in one mod with maps and scenarios. This may take awhile, but the next mod is already in the works. Riva and Tolnedra are up next.

The first of the Belgariad and Melloreon has been published on Steam.

The Empire of Riva. You may play as Brand, the Rivan Warder.

Please take a look at this mod and let us know what you think.

Several people have subscribed to the above mods on the Steam Workshop. Three more are in the works, but we need a bit of insight from you guys.

Please add your remarks here or on the workshop pages.

Drasnia, Tolnedra, and Melcena are next (not necessarily in that order).

Thanks!

Starting to get some traction... We have published 3 mods so far to Steam. We're getting some good feedback, and interested in seeing more.

We have compiled the Belgariad and Malloreon mods into one collection on Steam Workshop. The following mods are in the collection:

The Isle of Winds - Riva - Brand (Yes, we are making one with Belgarion as King)
The Kingdoms of Boundless Mallorea - Emperor Kal Zakath
The Tolnedran Empire - Emperor Ran Borune XXIII

We are working on several more. There will be a total of twenty civilizations, listed further down in this post. The plan is to have all 20 civs, maps, and start points included in a few scenarios, like the Battle of Vo Mimbre (although, the outcome will have to be played out differently than what is told in the story).

Planned Civilizations:

Algaria (9)
Arendia (13)
Cherek (7)
Chtol Murgos (6)
Dalasia (8)
Drasnia (5)
Gar og Nadrak (18)
Karanda (14)
*Mallorea (2)
Maragor (19)
Melcena (4)
Mishrak ac Thull (16)
Morindland (20)
Nyssia (17)
Perivor (10)
*Riva (1)
Sendaria (11)
*Tolnedra (3)
Ulgo (15)
Verkat (12)

* = Published
(n) = order of completion as planned.

We re-tooled the Riva Mod and released it on Steam.

The Leader is Belgarion!

It is not recommended that the mod with Brand and the one with Belgarion are used at the same time. We are adding code so that these mods are mutually exclusive. This should be available in the beta version.

More to come...

We have produced our first map. Lungora (Steam ID) actually made this map awhile back. It has been added to the Collection of Belgariad and Malloreon Mods. You can find it easily in the Civ5 Workshop Items list by searching on 'belgariad'.

We have setup a group on Steam to discuss the development of the mods. It is the Edding's Belgariad and Malloreon Civ5 Mods Dev Group - EddingsGroup for short.

Group ID 5003893.

We have also referenced this thread in the group discussions on Steam.

If you are interested in helping with the development of these 20 or so Civs (we are discussing about 5 Minor civs or citystates also). Maps Scenarios and some LUA content, such as an option to switch the leader of the Rivan Civ from Brand to Belgarion without a re-start, are also being discussed. Some of the more involved content will not be tackled immediately.

We are also looking for an artist or three to help with the visuals.

Thank you for viewing...

The Isle of the Winds (Riva with Brand as Leader) and
The Return of the Rivan King (Riva with Belgarion as Leader)
have both been upgraded to version 2.

New gameplay balance and storyline changes to improve the mods.

Please test it and let us know what you think.

NOTE: These two mods are mutually exclusive. They are both the Riva Civ, but with different leaders.

We have published The Kingdom of Drasnia to the Steam Workshop.

This one is fun!

It features Silk as a spy. There are a number of features worth seeing in this mod.

The Steam Group is up and running...the main discussion of these mods is done there. Please log in and tell us what you think.

We published the Melecene Empire to Steam last night.

Please review and comment on this mod in the Steam forums.

I've been testing the mods you can't select any of them. Something someone should look into.

What a wonderful idea - I really look forward to this developing into a full blown scenario.
The 12 core books are like old friends now, and read to tatters - if there is anything at all I can do to help please let me know.
