Congrats to the winners!

Hey guys, I can't play Darkness Hollows cuz it keeps CTDing...but can someone help me with something? I think my old version, not the updated one, got put into the official mod; again I'm assuming that based on the Hints-Tips guide. Can anyone who has played through Level VIII The Bloodied Keep tell me how they got the third/last key in the mausoleum level? I just want to see what version actually made it into the mod. Thanks, Kroot

I thought I'd point out that a new video is up on the first post. It shows the Battle of Sancre Tor (featured in the demo), as well as the previously unseen Elsweyr Civil War. Also, I would like to put out a special message for all of you considering helping out this project. The infamous Invasion of Akavir is currently on the list of possible battles, but it has not been confirmed due to my time restraints. However, if any modder would be interested in building the battle, I'd be happy to include the the Invasion of Akavir on the final list. I can give details, and, for any non-script savvy people out there, I will write or finish any scripts for the battle, as well as add dialogue, quest stages, and quest targets. The only really big thing about the battles are the worldspaces/cells; they take a long time to build and can be a real pain sometimes. Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks, Kroot

the-manta, I completely understand your position. But, if at any time you want to contribute, I could use some help with some NPCs for Kvatch; there's a lot of people and Daedra and I could use some help making each of them different. Otherwise, I'd just mass-produce them. But that's up to you. In addition, I just wanted to point out that I updated the first post with the Demo link. I have a video in the making right now, but the demo lets you play through The Battle of Sancre Tor (though I suggest you save first, there are some bugs that I hadn't fixed yet). Thanks, Kroot

Famous Battles of Cyrodiil Why has this mod appeared out of nowhere? A lot of you new guys probably won't remember this mod. This mod was created nearly a year ago with the intention to bring to life the somewhat boring books and records of long past battles fought in Cyrodiil. After months of dormancy, I've decided to temporarily kill another, less popular, and more strenuous mod (Medieval London) and put this mod in its place. I still have all the original files, so that means we have one completely finished battle and one nearly finished battle on the record. You can also play the demo of the mod, which contains the completed battle: Battle of Sancre Tor. Update: The nearly finished battle, Elsweyr, is now complete. Demo: TES Nexus Trailer: Thank you reading, and please, if you feel like this is a mod you'd like to take interest in, please contact me and perhaps we can get you onto the team. As you can see, I've had a diverse team of modders around my belt in previous times, and I'm always willing to make a new team. What is the mod about? The mod allows the player to relive historical battles recorded in the annals of the Empire's history. Is this some kind of Time Travel mod? No, time travel is not involved. Basically, you will be able to hire a retired model maker from the Diorama Hall of Cyrodill. This wizard has the power to make mini models of creatures that come to life. However, he agrees to make life-size models and scenery, if you are willing to give him the information he needs. Spread around Cyrodiil are forgotten books and accounts detailing this famous battles. Should you bring these books to the wizard, he'll be able to use them to make the battle. He can then transport you to the finished battleground. Some of you have recently asked why the model maker wants to help you. Well, the wizard's daughter was a recent victim of Kvatch. The wizard desperately wants to see if there was any way to prevent the tragedy of Kvatch. So, he agrees to help you relive the battle of Kvatch. However, he wants you to study previous battles from Cyrodiil's past, so you can learn from them and go into Kvatch prepared. After you defeat all the battles, the wizard will finally recreate the battle of Kvatch for you. Note that this is the battle that lets you try to prevent the fall of the city. Be warned, Kvatch is a very hard battle! This is why the wizard wants you to study previous battles in preparation. Can you triumph over the Daedric hordes and see what might have been? Do I get to fight 50 vs. 50? No, there are no epic clashes of thousands of NPCs. How is this going to work then? Simple, you'll start out with a small battle. For example, 10 on 10. As models start to die, they'll respawn offscreen. In addition, collision boxes,walls, and scenery will cover up the blank space on the battlefield. Hold on, so I'm just slugging it out with a bunch of other guys on an open field? Far from it! There will be new armor and weapons from the corresponding time period. Also, you will be able to adjust certain factors of the battle, like difficulty. Also, you'll have objectives that correspond to the actual historical battle. For example, you might be part of a small covert force sneaking through the halls of Sancre Tor, or a Kvatch guard trying to protect your city from certain doom. Wait, what's stopping me from bringing a kick-ass sword in from Cyrodiil? At the beginning of the battle, your inventory will be temporarily taken away and you'll be given armor and weapons from the current era. Will there be voice acting? This is undetermined at this current time. However, expect some cool speeches and orders from the leaders in each battle. You will also be able to talk to your fellow soldiers at certain points. What battles can I participate in? As this mod has been resurrected, there may be some major changes to the battle list in the near future. However, for now (In Order): The Battle of Sancre Tor: Fight under the command of General Talos (later Tiber Septim) himself as a small Cyrodiilic army desperately attempts to defeat a High Rock-Skyrim alliance holding Sancre Tor. The Elsweyr Civil War: Fight in the midst of a great civil rift in the province of Elsweyr. Side with one of the great armies and attempt to beat back the enemy from a nearby valley. An Imperial Uprising: Uriel Mantiarco has placed himself in a position to declare himself emperor of Cyrodill! However, the weakened Elder Council continues to dispute his claim. Now, the future Uriel III marches to take the Imperial City by force. Travel to the battleground outside the palace, only to have the transport spell go horribly wrong. You are still placed at the head of the invasion, but you will find that this battle will not only test your combat, but your loyalty as well. The Defence of Kvatch: The final and long anticipated battle. Before the Hero of Kvatch, before the liberation of Castle Kvatch, before the stand of Savlian Matius, there was a bitter, desperate struggle against a surprise Daedric invasion of Kvatch. Now, for the first time, relive the greatest untold story in Cyrodiilic history. Fight besides the Kvatch guard as they strive to save Kvatch from the Great Gate. Watch a once great city be reduced to a pile of rubble. Make your last stand besides Count Goldwine himself. For Kvatch!
