Roma Vice is complete overhaul for vannila Rome Total war

The reason i made this mod was to provide a more historical outlook then vannila but also to make it very fun and still keep the playibility in the game which i feel mods like EB or RTR do not satisfy in this respect.

If the mod feels a bit empty or half finished that is basicly because it is. Expect the release that will cover all factions and have most of the specail effects we have been planning to be released this March. Most of the mod is done but still in beta stage.

The current release includes :

Complete new unit rooster for Egypt, Rome, Carthage, Greece, macedon, seleucid empire and Pontus
New strat map models for those mentioned factions
Slightly improvered battleground graphics
New units for rest of factions just not completly finished yet
Romans attack each other from start to simulate the uprising of there cities during the punic wars
This also cripples there expansion which leaves the other factions to prepare for the roman onslaught
Seleucid power incresead and egypts decreased so Seleucid actually survive more than 10 turns
Egypt changed to the phtolemaic Empire
Egypt no longer has inaccurate chariots but more off a greek lineup
Changed regular hopilites to have shortpike attribute

uploaded pictures and videos just being edited

In patch 0.87 will include the following changes:

Complete new unit rooster for all barbarians and Parthia
New strat map models for rest of factions
Complete new boat models
All new battle enviroment with new building models, textures and all new landscape such as grass and trees
Only 1 roman faction
Pergamon and Syracusae added but still in testing and needs a few glitches removed ( expect 0.9 release )
Added new cities such as aggrigentum and malts for New factions to expand into

Expect 0.87 release around March
Please leave comments and thoughts on idea

Looks great! May I offer a suggestion? Instead of removing the other Roman factions, change the Scipii to the Samnites and the Brutii to the Roman Republic, then have scripted events where a rebellion in Capua will spawn Scipii and a rebellion anywhere else the the Roman Empire (once it is an empire) will spawn Republic.
Beyond that, my only suggestion is to have clothed barbarians, and some with heavy armor.
Sorry if that stuff is already done, I haven't dled it, these are just suggestions for any mod.

I did what you explained to me, but appears Script Error in data/export_descr_buildings.txt, at line 421, column 48 Unknown unit type specified: greek royal pikemenwhen the game charges. Maybe could it be
greek_royal_pikemen or something like that? Thanks!
