So I got a chance to meet with Tunder3 and talk about his map that is currently underwork. It is centered around Ancient World, and it's all about the barbarian invasion of rome. I met with him last week when he was just beginning, and met with him tonight to see its progress. So check out the interview and images below!
Here is the basic map as it was in it's early stages...
West Europe:
North Africa:
And here are screenshots of the interview below...
That was all as of last Thursday. As I stated earlier, I got the chance to meet with tunder again to see the map. Let's see how much he's gotten done by now..
So here is the map as it is today..
Tonight's Interview:
Citiraj: [pr]Chancellor Sultan ((WRE) Rome): Tunder3: (Franks) so did u work on this all by yourself?
[pr] Tunder3 (Franks): ((WRE) Rome) No, Hellraiser is helping me.
[pr] Chancellor Sultan ((WRE) Rome): Tunder3: (Franks) ok thats cool, now u said this is only 30% done correct?
[pr] Tunder3 (Franks): ((WRE) Rome) yes, i need to polish all of the borders in the east, balance the cities, balance the income, add special units, and add middle east
[pr] Tunder3 (Franks): ((WRE) Rome) 30% is a accuarate estimate of how much i have done
[pr] Chancellor Sultan ((WRE) Rome): Tunder3: (Franks) tht sounds like an awesome plan! and best of luck to with it
[pr] Tunder3 (Franks): ((WRE) Rome) thank you
[pr] Chancellor Sultan ((WRE) Rome): Tunder3: (Franks) which part, as of right now becuase as u said its not done, is your favorite?
[pr] Tunder3 (Franks): ((WRE) Rome) the hadrian's wall, if it falls to the celts its over for western rome
 Citiraj: [pr] Tunder3 (Franks): ((WRE) Rome) Rome has to hold brittain at all cost
[pr] Tunder3 (Franks): ((WRE) Rome) but its being invaded by the saxons and celts at the same time
[pr] Tunder3 (Franks): ((WRE) Rome) if the saxons take London, Rome has to pull all troops out of the wall to retake london
[pr] Tunder3 (Franks): ((WRE) Rome) if he does move out of the wall, the celts overrun it ;P
[pr] Chancellor Sultan ((WRE) Rome): Tunder3: (Franks) oh wow i see tht, tht does look really interesting
[pr] Chancellor Sultan ((WRE) Rome): Tunder3: (Franks) well thank you for your time tunder
[pr] Chancellor Sultan ((WRE) Rome): Tunder3: (Franks) i appreciate you letting me see this
[pr] Tunder3 (Franks): ((WRE) Rome)  a plesure
Citiraj: [pr] Chancellor Sultan: Tunder3: so, where did u get your unit images from? they seem uniform
[pr] Tunder3: most of them are internet pictures that i cropped, and some of them are ss that i took inside of rome total war.
[pr] Chancellor Sultan: Tunder3: oh ok thts interesting. how many plays do you see this getting by the end of next year?
[pr] Tunder3: 2000
Here are the units below. They are not complete as you heard from Tunder above. He will be adding in more special units, but here are the basic ones
I also took the time to interview HellRaiser since he is a collaborator on this map as well. Check it out below.
Citiraj: Chancellor Sultan: So hell, it seems that tunder is doing most of the border drawing, what is your role in this?
HellRaiserX666X: well youd be wrong
Chancellor Sultan: explain
HellRaiserX666X: if you look closely the borders are drawn bad in a few areas
HellRaiserX666X: these are just practice borders in many locations
HellRaiserX666X: its how tunder does his thought process
HellRaiserX666X: my borders i just do from the start unlike his
HellRaiserX666X: like in north africa
HellRaiserX666X: germany
HellRaiserX666X: and parts of sassanid
HellRaiserX666X: those are my border
HellRaiserX666X: Basically we will probably do about the same amount
HellRaiserX666X: as i plan to redraw all of sassanid
HellRaiserX666X: and redraw greece
HellRaiserX666X: as well as egypt
HellRaiserX666X: you can tell where my borders are in africa cause im the river autism lol
 Citiraj: Chancellor Sultan: so who did the units?
HellRaiserX666X: Tunder ofcourse
HellRaiserX666X: i hate unit making
Chancellor Sultan: tunder said this is only about 30-35% done, is that a fair assesment u think?
HellRaiserX666X: id say even less then that, as im a little bit more of a perfectionist then he is, and ill be back visiting fixing and redrawing for months to come.
Chancellor Sultan: what was the inspiration behind this map? and what prompted you to want to be a part of it?
HellRaiserX666X: When i asked tunder, well uh i wont completly say what his reasoning was, but it came from a love of total war and wanting to recreate that atmosphere on attar.
HellRaiserX666X: And when i saw the map i had to be part of it, me and tunder always help with each others maps in some way.
HellRaiserX666X: I just chose to be a major part this time in helping.
Chancellor Sultan: so i've always wondered how can I know that these borders are historically accurate, in any ancient map really. how do you do your research?
HellRaiserX666X: Well in this map, tunder did a majority of the research, but basically we all do the same type of research when looking for historic importance.
HellRaiserX666X: You start off by googling exactly what your looking for, sometimes its that easy
HellRaiserX666X: other times not so much
HellRaiserX666X: and you have to search the web for quit a while
HellRaiserX666X: looking for accurate information
HellRaiserX666X: once you find what your looking for, good map makers cross reference
HellRaiserX666X: and find a second source to back up there 1st source.
HellRaiserX666X: Its actually alot of work
HellRaiserX666X: but you learn alot of good information in the process.
Chancellor Sultan: yea lol ik what you mean
Chancellor Sultan: I've put some serious time into research, however, you have to make sure its something you enjoy researching right?
HellRaiserX666X: I loooove history
HellRaiserX666X: its my passion
HellRaiserX666X: So yes
Chancellor Sultan: man wer sailing the same ship to the same destination
Chancellor Sultan: lol, history my favorite subject also 
HellRaiserX666X: Im sure its the same for alot of people on this game
HellRaiserX666X: Im sure its the same for alot of people on this game
HellRaiserX666X: it takes a certian niche of gamer to play atwar
Chancellor Sultan: xaxa agreed, thanks for the time hell, and i appreciate you meeting me
HellRaiserX666X: its all good mate
I know that we will be all looking forward to seeing Tunder's new ancient scenario, I know that I'm excited, and I hope that you are too. If you have a new map you want to have reported on, feel free to pr me or pm me and I'll put together a whole story for you. Thank you to Tunder for allowing me access to his map, and I hope y'all enjoyed it!
