Stormlight Archives

[SleepyNarwhalz]

Does anyone else think it would be awesome to have a Stormlight Archives TW mod/game? If so please discuss how you think it could work :)


Note: I understand that this most likely won't happen and fully understand the reason why. This is pure fantasy on my part

Its a book series by Brandon Sanderson. The reason I think it would make a good fatasy TW game is because it has magic, large creatures and focuses on huge battles where a few near invulnerable generals lead the troops.

Thats the guy :) He has a few series up right now but I think his best work books are from the stormlight archives which so far have the Way of Kings and the Words of Radiance though more are on the way.

I was reading the Warhammer notes, and then I saw: Stormlight Archives. I love the Books, but i dont think, that it would work with Total War...

Stormlight Archives is good so far.

If you like fantasy I also have to highly recommend checking out the Malazan Book of the Fallen series.

[SleepyNarwhalz]

If you do read Malazan book of the fallen watch out it can get depressing :P (great books though)

[Queco Jones21]

Great series so far.

Would be interesting to see a TW adaptation for it.

I assume that people have read The Wheel of Time by Robert jordan ? :D

Sure have. It was a little slow for my tastes but its good :P

[Kimse]

agreed :D

I concur (and have been suggesting) that both the malazan Book of the Fallen, and the Wheel Of Time settings would be good mod settings for TW:W.

Not so sure about the Stormlight Archives, if nothing else due to the lesser variety of troop types shown so far, and the even greater gap between troops and Shardplate/blade equipped generals, than the gap between LL and troops in this game.

Also, it's a work in progress. Very slow progress (Brandon Sanderson keeps wandering offf onto other series.... Finishing the Wheel of Time, his superhero Reckoners trilogy....)

I'd be more inclined to go for the Wheel of Time. Not a large amount of races, but a setting with powerful magics, complex and effective agents, and where a lot of the major stuff is decided by big stompy battles.

Well, with Beastmen skeletons, a Wheel of Time mod will be easy to do- Trollocs. Also, human heros not dying when they should can be explained as 'Tavieren.'

Half my old D&D group used to go to college with Brandon and play fantasy stuff. I say old because everybody moved away recently.

Apparently he's turned into a machine, just cranking out books and stories; some of which they had a hand in starting. Stormlight Archive, book three, should come out in five or six months. It should be around the thousand page thickness instead of the three-hundred thingies we've been seeing.

I think Stormlight will catch on. There are a lot of articles talking about the series giving GoThrones (which I despise btw) a run for its money.
