Extended Greek Mod Enhanced v.1.0.0

[crazyroman]

Introduction

Hi. My name is Crazyroman and i present to you Extended Greek Mod Enhanced v.1.0.0

Main Features

Two new factions: In the place of Eastern Kingdoms you get the Massalian League, a faction with a small core of greek units, but they have bigger access to celtic units; they do not get access to many greek elite cavalry units.

In the place of Independent Gauls, you get the Celtic Tribes, inhabiting the Po Valley, a faction with new colors, that look like Britannia faction from vanilla, but with a lot different roster and of course faction symbol.

Many new units and models; many of them had a name change. For example Hypaspistai became Macedonian Peltasts and Agema Hypaspistai became Agema Macedonian Peltasts. We have a lot of new units for all factions and new mercenaries. Ptolemies now have, Therapeia Infantry and Therapeia Cavalry, all Greek factions get Iphicratean and Heavy Iphicratean Hoplites. Seleucids and Baktrians get new Cataphracts with a new model and a new Agema Cataphract unit. Germans, now have wolf and bear warriors, elite swordsmen and chosen slingers, Gauls and Celts get chosen archers, Pontus and Armenia get new Noble Infantry and new model for Eastern Infantry and for Eastern Peltast and other stuff. Barbarian factions that have hording got new horde units, same thing for Parthia. Sabaeans got a bit of love too, with new units. Carthaginians got, factional Scutarii and Heavy Scutarii, Phalanx Pikemen, Greek AoR units, iberian and celtiberian AoR, Iberians got new infantry and cavalry units. Scythians have been renamed to Sarmatians and their roster tries to imitate that, but they got a bit of infantry units as well. Romans, now do not have the ferres models anymore, but they use skins and models from various talented modders, old and new, which i will list below in the credits. Of course, last but not least, almost all units including mercenaries, have 3 different officers, generic officer, standard bearer and musician.

New buildings: Ptolemies, Armenia and Pontus now have access to the Greek theatres building chain, they can build mints in regions with gold or silver and quarries in certain regions in eastern Africa. Barbarian, Parthia, Saba and Baktria have access to animal_husbandry building line: Boost your economy with these buildings but they will not be available if you have built farms. Barbarians now have access to level 5th factional barracks, level 5th of the goverment building and they have a similar buidling like civilized academies. Greeks now have access to tavern building chain. Port_buildings now have a harbour building as the first building required to be built in the chain for everyone; There is also the shipyard as the last building in this chain, available only for certain factions.

New symbols for almost all factions, new user interface for all cultures.

Return of the lesser generals; New strat map models for generals, lesser generals, agents, towns and cities and fleets.

New traits, Confident generals or bad generals according to faction, e.g Ptolemaic Confident Strategos and stuff like this one.

Lowered the upkeep and recruitment costs. This might have made it a bit easier. I will see if i can tune it better in the next version(s).

Some custom campaigns, like the Massalian one have been removed. Unfortunately i had to remove the Britannia and Ceasar's one, because of some problems i had with replacing Numidia.

Many other stuff that i have probably forgot.

Hi all. I noticed that i forgot to change temple descriptions for "numidia". the Massalian League and they have descriptions that don't match their current greek culture. In the next, big update this will be fixed, including other changes, fixes and many new additions and improvements. Thank you
