I'm proud to present my first mod EA Pictland, Way of the Wilderness for download.
The nation is loosely based on ancient Celts and the Picts from the Conan setting, but to be honest I had an idea in my head of what I wanted them to be like and just went with it. They are primitive wildsmen, at home in the woods and friendly with the animals (they have Wolf and Hawk allies). Below is the background taken from the in-game description.
Background
Pictland is a realm of hundreds of small clans each with their own unique history and customs. The Great Council, made up of the clan chieftains, meets on a seasonal basis to discuss matters of great importance. All Pictish clans share some common traits. Sacrifice and ritualistic burnings are practiced widely, farming and husbandry are almost non-existant and most clans survive by hunting and gathering or by raiding others. Picts are adept woodsmen, they live amongst the plants and the animals, when a Pict is silent and still they become one with the forest and even the animals pay them no heed. Most Picts do not wear any armor, but helmets are worn by important clansmen as a symbol of their authority. Picts fight with bows, spears, axes, clubs and crude hunting knives and paint their faces blue before going into battle. Pictish settlements are small villages, the largest of which are permanent while the smaller ones move with the seasons.
Final Words
I hope you enjoy the mod and go easy on me, its my first try
