An offer to Era-makers.

Post by mehmode »

I'd like to help with any text relevant to new eras, like unit descriptions or race fluff. The problem is I don't know which projects are in need of such text.
So, please post requests in this thread and I'll fulfill them ASAP.
A sample:

I know that Archaic Era lacks some descriptions, but I don't know if its maintainer (doofus-01) is searching somebody to write them.

Era of Magic is a popular and well-crafted faction made by inferno8, and judging from the number of hits it's accumulated in-game and on-forum, it'll only gain more popularity. You'll find much support there if you want to help us out, as there are already a handful of people helping out with the descriptions. PM me or inferno8 if you wanna go here. You can visit our threads in the Writer's Forum(Summoners, Ancient Dwarves, Enlightened Ones, Dark Blood Alliance) if you want a sample of our stuff. Cheers to you :)

I could possibly use some unit descriptions for a campaign - would you be willing to do that in addition to era descriptions?

I think I could help with that. :)

Let me know which units. (I don't have tons of time but I can do some.)

If anyone else needs it I'd like to write a history or unit description as well.

I will start by working on drakes as long as someone else hasn't already. I will just do the ones not covered in default. Give me the thumbs up and I will start.

Hey I would be happy to help with descriptions but you would need to specify which units require them and how I would go about modify the relevant units. Also what ever thoughts you had for the unit I could work into the descriptions.

I don't know what units in Ascension need descriptions, but basically, what you do to modify a unit's description is this:
You open its .cfg file, and look for the word 'description'.
You then write your description inside the quotation marks that follow it after the equals (=) mark.
I'm not really around any more, but you can find me in TvTropes.
