Hello everyone, I do hope I am posting this in the right place, and if not, sorry to have bothered you :)

A little bit about myself: I'm an archaeologist from Israel specializing in the proto-history of the Levant and an avid M&B fan. I mostly work on flint tools and their distribution and my main points of interest are ancient trade systems and the development of complex societies. For years I've been wanting to create a historically accurate mod for a M&B game, depicting either the Bronze or Iron Age of the Levant (The Middle East mostly), using real textual sources (mostly in Akkadian and ancient Egyptian) and archaeological evidence (for the reconstruction of architecture, material culture etc) to construct a gameworld with stories/characters that would fully immerse the player in the "spirit of the age" of the Bronze/Iron period. The Bronze age in particular is of great interest to me (as it is my main thesis work) and I think a lot of people would be equally interested in playing a game set in that era: it is the era in which urbanization started taking place, humans began grasping the terms "state power" and "politics" and built civilizations, a developed trade system was established, etc etc. The Bronze Age was quite literally a prototype to modernity.

I never really thought I could bring my dream to life due to the lack of knowledge I have in modding, time and confidence, but I really think that with the right team this mod/game could become real, and the announcement of Bannerlord really motivated me to give it a try!

Seeing as I am not a modder, I'm looking for programmers/modders experienced in modding M&B games, artists and musicians who want to create something super cool and one of a kind, something that big companies probably would never attempt - putting real effrot into the accurate reconstruction of such an anciet reality (a 5000 years blast to the past is no joke!). My plan for this mod is to gather as many archaeological studies and ancient texts to recreate society, a trade system, polities, political intrigue and material culture adhering to the Levantine Bronze Age, with several ethno-political groups serving as "factions".

As we all know, M&B Bannerlord is not out yet, and as sad as it is, this is a great opportunity to gather a competent team and explore the gameworld we want (and are capable) to create. I believe that if we create an impressive prototype of our potential gamemod we might gather some monetary support by declaring a crowdfunding for the project, but for now our work will remain voluntary purely out of love for M&B.

Thank you for your time!
