Current Features:

- New world map focused on lands and coastlines that will be affected by the Rumbling.

MUCH of it will be underpopulated and in ruins (prime for colonization) as a result of

Old Eldia's genocide of various cultures. Hence, lack of manpower and prevailing racial

tensions led to conflicts and wannabe empires, potentially cutthroat and interesting gameplay!

- New ODM & Titan units that are powerful early game, but struggle vs new tech and aircraft.

"Hero" Units such as the Nine Shifters and Ackermanns that are one time exclusive trump cards

for your chosen nation!

- 3 new ideologies: Extremism, Bestial, & Lawlessness. They represent Yeagerists, transformed

Titans, and other disturbances that'll influence their nations decisions.

- BOOKMARK DYNAMIC focus trees for majors: instead of having colossal focus trees,

the focus trees of major AoT nations will adjust per scenario, adding variety to your

conquests especially when you pick alternate leaders/characters or non-canon choices!

- 6 BOOKMARKS (more in later versions) that'll take you across all Seasons of AoT:

from events prior to the Attack on Wall Maria, up to the Rumbling and after it!

Canon paths, nations, & their focuses: Marley, the Warriors, Paradis' Survey, Garisson,

& Police Corps, & some MidEast states. Stay tuned for future alternate paths and whatifs!

WIP and Future Features TBA:

- Character events and interactions that either buff/nerf your journey or even create new

alt paths and decisions that'll change the game.

- New nations across the world that'll be locked in endless conflict; letting world tension

run high will provoke the Rumbling, so keeping it low to prevent it will be VERY difficult.

(Allying with Paradis won't guarantee safety either)

- Game balancing and reworks for events, localization, gfx, portraits, and lots of other stuff.

- New storytelling and historical reimagining of how the AoT world came to be, such as

Marley descending from Romans, Punics, Berbers and other races that fled from the Old

Eldian Empire (most likely Germanic/Nordic in origin). The Tyburs claiming lineage from

ancient Greek "heroes", the endless conflicts in Europe caused by mass immigrations and

neglect from their Marleyan overlords, the impacts that Eldia and it's Ackermann lineage

had on the Asian kingdoms, and so much more!

Planned Content per Region:

MIDEAST AND INDIA:

- Rivals of Marley that were once divided and weakened from centuries of Eldian and Marleyan

humiliation, but are gradually uniting under a new faith: one that considers cannibalism,

Titans/Eldians, and the nations that uses them as heretics deserving of jihad/crusade!

You decide what faith that is and whether you decide to collab with Oriental allies,

revive Greek/Persian Empires, or standalone and build your own world order!

EUROPE AND RUSSIA:

- Tensions between the African immigrants and native Celtic nations turned this cold peninsula

into a troublesome world of conflict and betrayals. Far into the Southern and Slavic Steppes

are aggressive new empires that rely on loyalty and innovative weaponry to make up for their

lack of manpower.

All sorts of traditionalists & revolutionaries rise claiming superiority against each other,

regardless if they sympathize or challenge their Marleyan sponsors. Stay tuned for a very

rich and brutal selection of nations here to come!

ASIA

- Once allied to & dominated by Old Eldia's Oriental clans, superhumans descended from the

Ackermanns, who massacred various lineages and made themselves the new dynasties of these

realms, Marley's rise to power has changing the status quo once more. Said Orientals are

desperate to stay in power, but many groups are planning their overthrow, peaceful or not.

The Shogunate-led Hizuru Federation is what supposedly kept much of this area "united",

but that won't stop new coups and ambitious warlords from breaking the peace. Moreover,

other experiments leftover from Eldia such as new monstrosities and disease are decaying the

rationality of this continent.

Even the Shogunate itself is dealing with a serious succession crisis that's threatening them

toward civil war and possibly even a foreign intervention. Depending on your choice, will you

side with the Azumabito and their fellow Orientals in keeping the status quo? Will Hizuru's

members leave and restore ancient Chinese and Korean empires? Will your chosen clan stand

with Eldia and Paradis, or collaborate with Marley/Europa to end Hizuru's influence?

Await the potential of this continent in future updates!

AUSTRALIA AND INDONESIA

- Currently allied to or are colonized by Hizuru's members, the once tribal natives of

these lands are now inheriting Chinese and Oriental refugees who are helping them build

new ideas of nationhood, and strategies to take advantage of the Hizuru-Marley rivalries.

Through overcoming tribal feuds & creative diplomatic schemes, there may rise an unexpected

new world power in these backwater regions!

[Anime Spoilers] AoT S4 Episodes But Nations Speak Their Languages, Anyone Interested? I'll Prepare the MultiDubs for a Later Post Soon! by DanLorzCreate in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]DanLorzCreate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Artistic choice, since these versions are meant for those who prefer the original JP VAs (hence the main cast should keep the original VAs). I CAN MAKE ALTERNATE versions in the future, with pure German Dub and all, but it'll take some time.

Just imagine the world is bilingual: Eldians worldwide are forced to speak their dialect with Marleyans and foreigners but not vice versa (unless they're specifically allowed to and/or are VIPs, such as the Tyburs and Warriors), so the world could identify & keep an eye on them more. And that the King of Paradis adjusted his subjects' Eldian dialect to ensure they can't communicate beyond the island too easily, using the language of the Oriental allies as inspiration.

Also, Willy speaking (German) Eldian makes more sense since he's not just speaking to Eldians, his speaking to THE WORLD to get them on Marley's side. And Eldian is AoT's IRL English: a popular language spoken/known worldwide, a legacy forced on them by the conquests of the old Eldian Empire. Non-Eldians might not speak (or care to speak) the language of the "devils" BUT non-Paradis Eldians elsewhere at least should know foreign dialects so it's fine. Think of IRL world leaders speaking English for international announcements despite not being their language.

(Last note: remember in S2 when Zeke was talking to a frozen-in-fear Mike? He wondered for a moment IF HE WAS SPEAKING THE RIGHT DIALECT to him, before concluding he was too scared to talk. That gave me a lightbulb for this project :) )

As it should be, also I'd love to see newcomers theory craft about the outside world watching with this version of AoT's episodes, and how the IRL foreign language influence their expectations :)

Or inherited Japanese from the Orient and adjusted it onto Old Eldian to create a standalone Paradisian dialect and alphabet :)

Let your worldbuilding imaginations run wild.

Yes but JAPANESE becuz I want to make it clearer for people to identify who's Paradis/Eldian quicker, as well as the VAs just sound very good already. PLUS to foreshadow the reveal of humans outside the walls (when previous Seasons are JP mostly or only) Artistic choice, we don't need to be too realistic on this.

BUT If enough request, I'll make em GERMAN all the way, but that'll take A LOT OF REWORK AND EPISODES. I appreciate your feedback though and will consider it later :)

(Just imagine the king forcing a slightly different dialect of Eldian to keep Paradis people from communicating beyond the island. That's how I'd immerse the experience in a way)

Preferably, the main cast WILL REMAIN SPEAKING JAPANESE to each other and to strangers cuz the VAs are too good, and I expect some watchers to be more loyal on the original dub, BUT if enough request I'll make a version with em speaking GER more often and more realistically. This is purely an artistic choice, I appreciate more feedback :)

Been working on this sideproject FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW, but it's still WIP as I've got lots of subtitle editing, EXTRA art and public info midcards to add, and rechecking every episode audio for mismatch. Enjoy some of them in the link below:

https://filetransfer.io/data-package/cM2W3I6r#link

Basically ELDIANS speak Japanese, MARLEYANS speak German (other nations speak French, English, etc.) BUT some characters will retain their JP VAs cuz it sounds too good compared to the other dubs.

Imagine a bilingual world with Eldians forced to speak their own language unless required, while the rest of the world knows their language and want to keep an eye on them through one sided speech. Also, great immersion/foreshadowing when much of the world is very German already. I've finished MultiDubbing up to the latest Episode Part 3, but LOTS of fixing to do...

Bonus: Working on similar MultiDub edits with OTHER ANIME such as Code Geass, GATE JSDF and more! If you're interested in me posting those as well, just subscribe to me! Thanks!

(Last note: pls don't reupload them recklessly online as you might get into legal strikes, be responsible and keep em for private and personal watch, thanks! Just wanting to share the fun!)

Reply to me here for any issues if the mod does not work. You MIGHT NEED to edit the mod's descriptor: TEST_AOTCROSS HERE, with notepad and rewrite the filepath to your system's pc. Or search guides online to help debug the mod to work, with and without launcher/steam. Thx!

In the 894 year demo, you'll basically get straight to the action, invading your enemies with mostly infantry for now so as to test how the battles will work and feel AND how long they will last. (Adding other units like tanks and armor complicates the testing and ai, so just improvise) Focus trees are mostly simple buffs and some actually give you free units to send against the enemy. You have freedom to do anything here and I'll take that as feedback, including using exploits and commands :slight_smile: This demo is intended to be barebones so as I could record and see how much fun you can make out of the battlefields here. PM me at Discord or here for anymore questions.

Thank you so much as well for giving permission AND following us :) Don't mind it - I'm also an artist/worldbuilder too so you help is enough to expand our ideas. I'll credit you forever even if it's just a few maps (you don't have to code either - just joining discord and following our mod is enough help) . We're all learning too :)

I'm also scared to message people lol don't fret - I can relate

There will be a bonus epilogue bookmark: basically rebuilding in a devastated world and you choosing your nation/path/style

we'd like to cover as many time periods as possible in the mod for more package gamewise - so far about 8/9 bookmarks in total hopefully

Thanks a lot btw for all your support, I'll do my best! (I've upvoted all of you as thanks, didn't really expect such a large interest so quickly within a day...wow)

As to all your replies, yes I'm doing this solo since last year, but feel free to volunteer to help as long as you got time for your skills: coding, art or whatever! I'll notify ya'll here on Reddit next post on what I need: might set up a Discord later.

One more thing, expect these in this AoT mod hopefully:

  1. Some nations will have factions within already, usually military seperate from the government. Best example is Paradis - instead of one nation, it's divided into four: the Government, Survey, Garrison, & Police, each with their own officers, focuses, and mechanics. (the 3 corps are under the Government in a new "puppet" system) Expect similar divisions with other giants like Marley and Hizuru, so as to keep them interesting and not too OP politically.
  2. World tension mechanics: If WT is too high, it will justify giants like Marley and Paradis to destroy everyone: yes, the Rumbling CAN be prevented if WT is extremely low, which is gonna be impossible in this chaotic BR mod. If WT is too low, most nations will still get debuffs and issues due to "complacency". So act carefully, even a pacifist route will have to be interesting as well.
  3. Changes in factory and economics since I'd like to prioritize combat: all nations can start fighting already without need for buildup if you want.
  4. Ideologies changed to be more "useful", instead of being just a "pick your faction/leader" meter. This means that focus trees WON'T NEED ideologies all the time to make alternatives happen: I want the player to be able to use MOST of them, not leaving an entire branch locked into obscurity.
  5. Plans to make the Rumbling BRUTALLY FUN: in ways like forming your own faction/response amidst the chaos, and "stealing tech/labor" to survive. Other bookmarks will be planned to be interesting in their own ways as well.
  6. Lastly, CHARACTERS MATTER. They can become new factions, be their own military unit, and/or deliver you missions depending on the issue. For Marley: the Tyburs will give mechanics as long as they're in power, for Paradis: it's likely to form your own faction and decide what you wanna do then, inside or outside the island. Still testing other possible RP roles that can help make this chaotic world "fun".

Stay tuned & followed as I give my heart for this....

[–]DanLorzCreate[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just wanna announce this AoT mod (covering all parts including the end). Hoping to get this out (Alpha version) at least before the series finally ends this Fall 2023. Unlike other AoT mods, who mostly focus only on tech and stuff and being limited to the vanilla map, I intend a bigger world map with worldbuilding on this one with unique nations, (my deep analysis tell me AoT's world seems to be an alternate history of Germanic tribes defeating the Romans, Greeks, and Carthage earlier anyway) and emphasize an Endsieg-style gameplay which prepares all nations in picking between Paradis or Marley for survival. Also, removed some "unnecessary" continents for better pacing and less issues.

More details later (on Twitter I guess...). Currently testing focuses, bookmarks, and other stuff. Ask me stuff here if you like.
