18th Century Mod

[SARNT]

As I have been playing this I cannot help but think this game set during the 18th century in North America would be really awesome. Anyone know if anything like that exists out there?

...or, even earlier! :)

Are you me? Just yesterday I was wondering how a game like this would fare in a setting like the wild west.

I've thought the same thing.

I've also used URW as a base for both a 17th century North American colonial setting and a regressed-to-the-1700s North American post-apocalyptic setting, for tabletop RPGS.

Something about the endless wide wilderness dotted with small settlements resonates with me

An iron age anywhere would work, really.

Though, I'm not sure why civilizations of sourthen North America, Mesoamerica and northwestern thru central western South America developed metal working technology, but civilizations further north did not.

If I would set it into a north american enviroment, I would date it befor 1200.
No relativ high tech invaders from europe at the continent (historically) and the foreign traders which bring metal tools and weapons, should be the vikings who explored greenland and northern american mainland, long befor Christoph Columbus :)

I was thinking this week how great a roguelike game of this kind would be great. And looking for one, i found unreal world game.
Don't know if a mod already exist to do that, but i'd really like to know if it's the case.
I don't know how difficult it is to mod Unreal world, but maybe it can be done easily if we are a lot to work on it.

I have been thinking about that for a while now.. I'd really like URW to be taking place in 17th-18th century during the exploration and colonization of the continent of America. With different First nations tribes and different european origins. The same exact game but in that context and extra content. I am sure it would be a great project.
