Calling all Modders, especially you select Modders who can build game-changing mods.

I'm not a code-writer, but I have ideas/concepts that you may find useful. I have already shown this to @Wulf, but I am also sharing it here in the Steam Forum, to present to the broader Modding community, so here's a concept for you to consider making:

- The Grunwalder mod, a Prequel to the Native/default map for M&B:W.

Let me explain.

Note this screenshot from a pop-up event triggered by Bunduk being in your group, the first time the group approaches Grunwalder Castle with him in the group. Bunduk's prior comments before this pop-up generates (if you allow him to "tell more") are about Grunwalder being a bastion of Freedom, and then this pop-up:

Basic Concepts:
- Set the map as if 100 years or more before the default Native map M&B:W game.
- The player/main character joins into the game as if already in a default position to help Grunwalder in his "rebellion" against the elites/nobles trying to put him and Rhodoks under their thumb.
- Gameplay would be in parallel to accepting the quest line to help a "Claimant" take the throne, except Grunwalder would be a new (and only) Claimant available on the new map.
- Tweak the game's inventory of weapons and armor to make them lesser tier, lowered stats, as if older tech, less capable than default game (also makes the mod have a more challenging potential if weapons and armor are nerfed). But keep the variety still high, so you have lots of options in gear yet just not as capable in stats.
- Reduce villages and towns on the map, perhaps change the map to isolate only the region around Grunwalder Castle (could be a nice niche "Skirmish" game that goes quicker, would be an option). This is a thematic/logic-flow thing, that in a prior era there would be fewer people, fewer towns and villages.
- At some point a major battle with player-character helping Grunwald results in "death" of Grunwald and removal of his character from the map (to stay in line with Bunduk's storyline as shown in the screenshot), with the main player-character then taking the mantle to continue the rebellion as Grunwald's successor to continue the fight to completion.
- And then use some Artistic License to generate other changes of "what could be" if you think in time, of a prior era before the current M&B:W era, spice it up as a more ancient time, perhaps.

I'm also hopeful that Players will comment here on how interested they would be in such a mod, to add into the portfolio of Mods available for M&B:W. I don't think we have any true "Prequel" mods for M&B:W and this could be just the theme that proves a good one to build for such. Steam Gamers, would you play this Mod if it existed?
