I'm toying with the idea of doing a Dune mod for Civ 3: Conquests. Unfortunately I have not created any mods for civ before, so it is going to take a little getting use to. The only game I've ever modded is Europa Universalis II... anyways I'm looking for help and input for creating this. Especially in the grafics section, since I'm not in any way artistic.
The idea this doing this mod based on the following three ressources: The Dune books by Frank Herbert himself, the movie by David Lynch and the games by Westwood. The reason for using all three is to add more depth and gameplay.
The map will be based on the one in the back of the original Dune books. Unfortunately this only represents about 1/3 of the planet, so unless another source can be found for this we'll have to improvise.
As to playable civs I was going the use the three houses in the Westwood games: Harkonnen (Militaristic, Industrious), Atreides (Expansionistic, Commercial) and Ordos (Scientific, Commercial). Futhermore I would like a couple of Fremen civs and a smuggler civ. All the Fremen civs should properly be expansionistic, while the smuggler civ should be commercial.
Would anyone out there be interested in creating a mod like this together with me?
