    Default WIP Alejandro Magno's Alejandro Magno Total War

    So..... after been away a couple of years from modding and RTW itself i'm here again.

    After taking away some rust out of my modding skills i think i'm ready to work on a mod by myself; a mod about Alexander the Great.
    I know there are some around, some of those unfinished, one of them forbidden, but still i think a fresh start and not modding ATW is the best option for me.

    So far i've only tried and successfully implemented some of ATW features into a vanilla -mymod folder. I already finished a customized version of MM expanded all the way to the ganges basin and i'm ready to start the coding part of the mod.

    UNIQUE FEATURES:

    Recreation of his conquest.

    Do you consider yourself an expert in Alexander's biography? The challenge is on, complete all the quests and prove yourself a true conqueror of the world.

    Founder of cities
    It is said that Alexander's main achievement was the spread of hellenism into the east. In this mod you can actually create new cities, but be aware, not all regions in the Persian Empire will be eager to change their customs!

    Hi Alejandro,

    welcome back. Your idea sounds and looks very interesting. Keep on going. I will give it a try.
    Greetings, Magnentius

    I also offer you my help, I can do skinning and skinning only. So if you have a unit which you might want to look better, just give me a sign.

    I'm very good at modding the environment. I'm also good at balancing (unit) stats.

    I have two questions about your mod: why are some regions on your map so big? and why is Egypt independent?

    That would be actually awesome; i'm just waiting some responses for permission on some units; so I wouldn't like to ask you to work on any and eventually not being able to use it.

    I merged together some regions for 2 reasons:
    1. I found some sources describing the macro-management of the persian empire; which fused some historical regions (like in Asia minor) in more or les the way i've done it.
    2. I based my region template on the above in order to avoid "siege-alexander total war". I studied some basic scripting for rtw and i'm sure I can script some battles (both historical and "what if") into the main campaign so there should be enouch action on the open fields.
    Altough, if you refer to upper europe (gaul, germania) I think I won't be putting any region neither faction in the game; to focus gameplay in Italy, greece; Asia and India

    Almost forgot, Egypt independent is WIP, I also remember reading once that by Alexander's time they just had gained its independence

    Egypt independence should be a thing whether it's historical accurate or not. It's all about that variety. You should also make Thracians a faction, they made some problems to Alexander before he went for the Persians.

    Yeah I know. My WIP faction list at the moment is:

    - Kingdom of Macedon
    - Achaemenid Empire
    - Roman Republic
    - Republic of Carthage
    - Egypt (don't know about the name)
    - Thracians (either a general faction or tribe specific)
    - Sparta
    - Nanda Empire
    - a faction for Chandragupta Maurya
    ** i'm not sure if I should put a "whole" faction for Porus/Pauravas
    - Nomads (scythians)

    AFAIK Egypt was occupied by the Persians and conquered ("liberated") by Alexander.

    OK so after some time out of modding I've finally moved into the adding units part. The map is mostly done, and after some CTD rounds i'm finally able to add units without errors. So progress should be made on big steps from now on.

    Unit rosters will be rather small, considering that there will be only 1 playable faction and the fact that im not a unit modder, so i'll be importing units from mods that have granted me their permission.
