Hello All

I have just completed a new mod that adds two female units to the Parthian roster for Total War: Rome 2. They are available for the main campaign and custom battles, and also appear in...

I have just updated the ByzantineBasileus Unit Mod to Version 5!

What it does is add 4 new units to Parthia, 4 to Pontus, 4 to Armenia, 3 to Galatia and 3 to Carthage. Most are reasonably accurate...

So I have been quite busy releasing mods one after the other, so I thought a thread for them all would be a good idea.

First of all, my old Parthian Unit Mod has been heavily altered, and is now...

New update!

Yup, it was the unusual nature of the name that first sparked my interest!

Apparently the majority of the inhabitants are indigenous, meaning the people who are there are the direct genetic ancestors of the people who have always lived in the area. Only 13% or so of people...

Well, Lithuanian preserves a lot of terms that have counter-parts in others, so it is less Indo-European and more a remnant of Proto-Indo-European.

Slavic has been categorized as part of its own language family separate from Indo-Iranian, but it is interesting to not that Lithuanian apparently preserved a lot of Indo-European expressions:

I have read three of those titles, save for Farris, and can say that they are good quality texts about the subject matter.

I can also support the mention of the Osprey titles, as they are good...

I have read three of those titles, save for Farris, and can emphasize they are good quality.

I can also support the mention of the Osprey titles, as they are good visual sources.

For Korea,...

I agree with you, but I grew up with the term Byzantium. The word "Byzantine" actually got me studying that civilization and was thus partly responsible for me completing an Honours...

When looking at identity, there are two things to examine:

What the population considers themselves

Is there any connection between that population and earlier cultures.

For example, can we...

This is actually one of the reasons I have no interest in Attila right now. In Rome 2 you have Greek factions, but also Iberian, Celtic, Eastern, Carthaginian, Nomadic. There were different cultures,...

Once I get my post-count up I will be able to edit my posts. Once that happens I will format and add screenshots. Until then you can see the units on my steam-page. Thank you for the advice!

Do you think the takabara was a fairly light skirmishing shield? Because based on the carvings from the Sarcophagus, the fact that they are mixing it up in battle indicates a more solid, wooden...

Holy Crap, I made the front page! Thank you!

Holy crap, I never thought of that!

Hello Everyone!

I have just finished my second mod. It adds three bow units to the Iceni roster. Here is the description:

Briton Bowmen: This unit is a copy of Celtic Bowmen, and is identical...

It is worth noting that large wicker shields remained in use in the Middle-East for centuries after the Achaemenids. They found specimens dating to the Sassanian period at Dura Europos. The longevity...

Dude, absolutely awesome! Have you read Shadows in the Desert by Kavaeh Farrokh?

Darius III, I think by the time of the Peloponesian War the Persians had stopped using Sparabara. There are no...

Welcome to Version 7 of The Parthian (and Armenian) Unit Mod. The PUM is designed to provide several new options to a player who wishes to field a Parthian army. It adds five new units and also...

Hello

I just downloaded DEI and I was intending to get used to the new battle mechanics by engaging in a few custom battles, however the AI is not selecting any armies. Is this a bug, and can it...

Hello there.

I think you got the Takabara perfect in terms of their use of shield and bow, but there are some inconsistencies and historical inaccuracies:

The unit is too cheap considering how...

Hello, I just thought I would give some feedback about this mod.

Cappadocian Noble Cavalry has the same armour statistic as Cappadocian Cavalry, but the Cappadocian Noble Cavalry in the game are...

One thing I would not change is the range of generals available to Rome. Their sword-infantry is already overpowered to the point where a Evocati Cohort + Hastati army is an automatic "I win" button...

Just downloaded all the unit packs, and they rock.

However, there is one small thing that annoys me:

You have the Persian Spearmen/Archer unit labelled as Takabara. They were actually called...
