    Welcome to the long-awaited first public update of Aristeia, our expansion for Troy Total War. We know that you have been waiting for this for a long time, and so have we. The mod has taken shape gradually, and we are now ready to show you some solid results - though only a taste of what is to come...


    So what is it?

    TTW: Aristeia is a fantasy/historical mod set in the epic world of Homeric poetry in the time of the Trojan Wars and their aftermath. The mod begins with the Oath of Tyndareus, the promise by all the suitors of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, to come to protect her husband in war if necessary. As events progress however, Helen is abducted by the Trojan prince Paris, and the brothers Agamemnon and Menelaos issue a call to arms for their Achaean allies to come to fight to punish the Trojans. However, each hero has his own interests at heart, and Trojan weapons may be the the least of the Achaeans' worries, as they face treachery at home and a new threat from the North, one bigger than they could imagine.


    The world of TTW:Aristeia

    The mod will focus on the lands of Greece, Illyria, Thrace, the Aegean Sea, and Western Asia Minor:


    (click the thumbnail to enlarge)

    You will take control of one of 18 families of heroes on either the Achaean or the Trojan side and build up your dynasty through the course of the Trojan War and its aftermath. Remember, however, that today's allies are tomorrow's enemies, and only one dynasty can rule the whole heroic world...


    The Factions

    This is a list of all the playable factions, along with an explanation in brackets of where on the map you will find them.

    Achaeans
    House of Atreus (Mycenae and Sparta)
    House of Neleus (Pylos)
    House of Peleus (Phthia)
    House of Tydeus (Argos)
    House of Laertes (Ithaca)
    House of Telamon (Salamis)
    House of Asklepios (Thessaly)
    House of Minos (Crete)
    House of Kadmos (Thebes)
    House of Tlepolemos (Rhodes)
    House of Oineus (Calydon)

    Easterners
    House of Dardanos (Troy)
    House of Bellerophon (Lycia)
    Maiones (Lydia)
    Paphlagones (Paphlagonia)
    Kares (Caria)

    Barbarians
    Paiones (Macedonia)
    Kikones (Thrace)


    Faction Icons

    We thought we'd show off some of our fancy artwork, and so here are some of the faction icons for you to feast your eyes on. We decided to make them in the style of artwork that you might find on votive offerings in Greek temples such as shields or cups.



    House of Atreus


    House of Dardanos


    House of Laertes


    House of Tydeus


    Kares


    Paiones

    That's all the faction icons that I can bear to show you for now, so let's move on.


    New Units

    As well as completely overhauling the factions and map, we are also overhauling the units. The unit roster and recruitment in TTW: Aristeia will look and feel a lot better than in the old Troy: Total War. Some old favourites such as Achilles' Myrmidones will be making a new and better appearance, though there will be many new troops as well. New units that you will encounter include Theban Spartoi (fierce warriors born from a dragon's teeth sown in the ground), savage but deadly Hyperboreioi (Scythian horse archers) and the mighty Achaean Panchalkoi (spearmen almost completely armoured in bronze).

    Not to forget, of course, the noble Trojan Argyroteuchai (silver-armour spearmen):

    Renders:

    We hope that you have enjoyed our first preview!

    And remember

    We can't produce a first-rate mod without first-rate team members. If you feel that you can help with skinning, mapping, coding, scripting or any other part of the modding process (except for research, which we have already completed), then PM either myself or Zenith Darksea.

    And don't forget, you can find our forums here:

    "WE WILL SMITE THE INVADERS FROM OUR SKIES! Though they sweep over our lands like the sands of winter, never again will we bow before them; never again endure their oppression; never again endure their tyranny. We will strike without warning and without mercy, fighting as one hand, one heart, one soul. We will shatter their dreams and haunt their nightmares, drenching our ancestors' graves with their blood. And as our last breath tears at their lungs; as we rise again from the ruins of our cities...they will know: Helghan belongs to the Helghast." -Scholar Visari

    I'm glad to see the announcement has had such a warm reception. As many have probably noticed most updates for Aristeia will be released first at our forums and any major news will be filtered over to the TTW forums here.

    Will Aristeia: Total War include the Amazons?

    I just finished an amazon unit not so long ago. They will feature, but not as a faction, they will be reinforcements for the trojans during the trojan war.

    Love those silver spearmen, but for some reason their cuirasses look too big for them.
