yeah i also can't find it

[CamilleBonparte]

These videos made me download this mod.

[Lucarius]

it is a really good mod

[Unintended BM]

Just caught up on the videos I missed. Good stuff. You ought to colonize distant lands, like the Crimean towns and maybe Rhodes and Cyprus.

[Feldmarschal Rommel]

Can you upload the save game of this campaign.It seems interesting and I would like to try it.

[Lucarius]

starting a Sparta campaign by yourself is much more fun

I also love the vids and amire the efforts, although I also have to admit that Greece is not the strongest point of the mod - the Near/Middle East with the great Empires duking it out is a far more diversified experience, especially concerning the loads of different units, while in Greece you don't have much but hoplites, as it should be historically. (my personal guess is that those all who want more units have not really explored the east of Greece...)

Anyway, you are doing a great job for us in terms of publicity, so have all the rep I can give!

But they are the only factions using Democracy and Oligarchy. So the government thing is much more exciting and needs some care when playing them.
And personally I like the reduced units. Only some different hoplits (including bodyguards) with minor supporting forces. As it should be and more important was so historically.

Could be a reason.
But it also takes some time and many territories to discover all those different units. In my persian campaign I conquered only Median towns at the beginning and some rebell territories to the north and east of the Persis. There you have not much difference except different colored units of persian/iranian style.
It took wars against Babylon, Lydia or the Massagetes (and later Egyptian, Arabian, Indian, Skythian, Thracian or Greek territories) to find a huge variety of unique and different units.

You are right and this is also how it should be, although I wondered if the whole mechanics of Cyrus' rise to power over the Medes could be changed. Right now we are very easy on Herodotus, with two kingdoms colliding while it seems things were more complicated at the time. Simulating it more like a revolt, an Irianian struggle for dominance between two nobles and their followers we may get some more civil war feeling, but it would also give Cyrus some more provinces at the fringes of Iranian space and thus quicker access to other territories. It also might help balancing out his rise to power, which the AI almost never managed (at least as long I played it).
But that's just some brain-stroming of mine, don't take it for an official plan. Let's see what the team thinks.

15 minutes you say? Horray!

[Lucarius]

Are you gonna do a campaign for Rise of Persia 3.0 ?

[infernocanuck]

But of course I will! As soon as it comes out, I'll get my mits on it and start making videos!

[Xerrop]

Well then I´m looking forward to see your first 3.0 campaign.

p.s. Hope they release ROP 3.0 this year.

[Lucarius]

aah i hope it so much !
because i stopped playing RoP 2.0 but when 3.0 comes out i'll try it again

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

I really can't say how long it is going to take, since there is no real plan on what we want. If someone comes up with an idea and everyone likes it, it just gets in.

So look at it this way: the longer it takes, the more unique the experience will be!
