I played this mod for the first time yesterday. Took the kingdom of Minos (Crete) to start out with.
Some things I like about the mod so far:
- Excellent intro! Gets ya in the mood to play and conquer!
- Awesome campaign map! Its nice to see something different then other mods. It covers most of the hellenistic area which I like.
- Great looking units (didnt play much battles yet, but as far as i've seen it looks great!)
- Special heroes!
- Big Greek alliance!
Some stuff I dont like:
- Difficult Greek names: I know its all part of the mod and its better for the overall theme. But I'm realy having difficulties remembering all those greek words and meanings. I'm much into Greek history though, but i'm not quite good in all those names.
Now, something else. The reason I started this topic is because I'm having financial problems with my campaign. As Minos, you have two grand armies over at Troy. I decided to use one army to sail back to Minos and conquer some islands in between to get more territory. One army remained near Troy. But I'm really getting into the red with my money.
Any tips for beginners to deal with it? Is it best to attack Troy right from the start ....or is it better to develop your economy and disband some of the armies?
