Alexander: Total War

Has anyone been working on this? I think it would be an awesome mode due to the epic historical background. Imagine, playing as Macedon, as Alexander the Great, conquering the known-world at that time, from Greece to to Persia to India. I realize that Alexander's campaign, if I'm not mistaken, was done in about seven years; therefore, the time length would be too short, so maybe the number of turns per year can be increased to twelve?

I dont think this is appealing to anyone because its basically making a mod that takes place only 50 years earlier then RTW... Its not like much has changed. So its kinda a moot point. Not trying to rain on your parade, just making a counter point to your mod idea for you to think about. *wink*

I gather ideas to do this mod.

What would be cool if you decide to do it would be to see a large persian faction, with weaker troops but lots of money and resources. How would you handle the senate and its subordinates?

Im not planing the gameplay as faction but rather a single caracter(alexander) move acroos the countries and conquer. The mod will fucus on battles and not the management.

But don't get your hopes high the mod is at very very early stage and it will take awile for me to familiarize with rome tw files. For now i'm working on the concept and gather info of battles and gampaigns of alexander.So if you know any good sites with maps and info on his campaigns i would really appreciate if you share it with me.
