Rome: Total War Mod Incorporates Book of Mormon

September 8, 2009

Here's something you don't see very often.

An unusual, religious-themed mod to Rome: Total War adds themes from the Book of Mormon to the popular PC real-time strategy franchise, reports Mormon Game Design:

Darren, from the UK, is a video game "modder." And he did his thing on Total War a while ago. He added Book of Mormon names and places to the game, allowing players to enter the Promised Land and the battles that took place between the Nephites and Lamanites! ...

 

As it is a mod, you will need a copy of Total War with the Barbarian Invasion expansion, along with the mod file provided by Darren, via the Book of Mormon Battles website...

It's funny how religion (and politics) get people to share their perspective. Everyone's got an opinion when it comes to both. Anyway, in case anyone cares, I put up the conversation I had with Darren about his mod of Rome: Total War and his experiences in general with modding, here: http://mormongamedesign.blogspot.com/2009/09/talking-title-of-liberty-to....

Will it let you kill Red Indians? Since technically the various Mormon Sects believe Indians to actually former Israelites and used to be white. As for the Indians who fought against God he turned their skin red.

E. Zachary Knight: If the videos are of sufficient quality that people subscribe and watch regularly, then those let's players are providing a service that people want. That is the heart of capitalism. That is not something that should be shamed.05/17/2013 - 8:06am
E. Zachary Knight: I have no idea who either of those people are. However, I still don't see why making a business out of creating let's play videos is somehow evil or wrong.05/17/2013 - 8:04am
MaskedPixelante: It sure is if you're just doing it for the money. See Tobuscus and/or Pewdiepie for what happens when people get into it just for the money.05/17/2013 - 7:30am
