In recent brainstorming event, I have come up with an idea for a mod featuring the adventures of a certain famous pirate....

facs:

The Black Pearl
The Cursed Pearl
The Flying Dutchman

Heroes:
The Black Pearl
-Jack Sparrow
power ideas- level 1- bargain- win over some enemy units by giving them resources (should be actual unit cost + 50% of any upgrades they have)
level 3- pirate leadership- like Eomer's outlaw leadership
level 6- enchanted compass- like farsight
level 8- master agility- gives a 25% chance of dodging an attack
-Will Turner
-Elizabeth Swan

The Cursed Pearl
-Barbosa (maybe come up with some more later)

The Flying Dutchman
-Davey Jones
power idea- level 10 strike the deal- turns enemy units in to units for the dutchman, upgrades and all
-Bootstrap Bill (hes completly under Davey Jones's control)
-Labor Driver
power idea- level 1 crack the whip- give units a temporary boost in attack

Units:
The Black Pearl:
basic units-pirate swordsman (upgrade with forged blades)
archers-marksman (upgrade from x-bow to musket)
pikes- pole master (upgrade with forged blades)

The Cursed Pearl:
basic units-cursed pirates (upgrade with forged blades)
archers-cursed crossbowman (upgrade with fire arrows)
pikes- cursed pikemen (upgrade with forged blades)

The Flying Dutchman:
basic units- indebted souls (upgradable with forged blades)
archers- damned marksmen (upgradable with fire arrows)
pikes-men of the sea (upgradable with forged blades)

custom powers:

The Cursed Pearl:
Clouded Night- give temporary invinciblity (as the moon is hidden)

The Flying Dutchman:
Summon Kracken

other:
change the name inn to tavern

tavern summons:

The Black Pearl:
Tutogan recruits-attacks with firebombs or swords

The Flying Dutchman:
Claims of the sea- swordsman, essentially indebted souls with another name

I can model and skin the things, but my knowledge of the INI language and FX is quite limited

Get some models and skins done and show them off here and you might just have a chance of getting a team.

Id love to see this mod, Unfortunatly i can only map Y.Y tell me if u need any maps made though lol.
and 2play is right A Royal navy faction could be added. So could an East India Trading company faction.

Who's side would Pinell and ragetti be on? Black pearls? or Sparrows?
I happen to know of the Bad guys in the third film also who could possibly be a faction although u might not want that because it would spoil things for ppl.
Bo'sun shud be in (big black guy from the pearl)

gibbs hsould be in also for jacks side as should marty the dwarf.

Aye, the age ol' question:

Ninja's or Pirates?! << I'd have to go for Pirates.

This sound's interesting. I'm not exactly an experienced INI coder, but I'm getting the hang of things. This sounds interesting. I just hope none of the uber-coders have a chance to make me obsolete T_T
