unofficial patches to improve the Wars of the Diadochi campaign

[The_Judge]

1) If you want 'a more Diadochi feeling', you can try the expanded_bi file (with around 100 changes I think...) and paste it into your DTW\Data\text file. Always make a backup of the original file in case you would change your mind.

By doing it you don't have to play Pergamum, Macedon or Thrace anymore. Instead you can rule the Kingdom of Antigonus, the Kingdom of Cassander and the Kingdom of Lysimachus. No more Attalid, Macedonian or Thracian cities, but Antigonid, Antipatrid and Lysimachian ones.

When you play the WotD campaign, you should not have the feeling anymore to play a spin-off of the Imperial campaign.


2) If you want 'an even more Diadochi feeling', you can try the descr_sm_factions file. Always make a backup of the original file in case you would change your mind.

It's an attempt to depict the Macedonian view of the world. The six (five plus one) Diadochi, the League of Greek cities (Sparta, Syracuse...), the Republic of Rome and the Republic of Carthage have a bright color on the strategy map (and the mini map). The other (mostly barbarian) factions are treated like rebels.


Other remarks to improve DTW:

3) Resolution: When you install DTW, go to options and push the button at the bottom (at the right side). Then give DTW the same resolution as RTW vanilla (i.e. twice 1024x768x16).


4) Missing unit texture: Check unDa's post #129 at http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...otfixes/page7&.

4) Missing unit: Check unDa's post #129

Its just a missing texture, not a unit
WotD campaign main menu macedonian and oher factions already have correct names. I think mod needs new music for eastern factions instead of this.

[The_Judge]

If you look very carefully, you will see the names in the (original) WotD campaign menu and on the WotD campaign map are not correct. E.g. there was no Kingdom of Pergamum ruled by Attalids before 283-262 BC... To some people the changes make a difference.

And I know there is still some improvement thinkable:
- the strategy map as such (the mountains, the valleys, the plains...)
- some unit cards are missing (e.g. Italic rebels)
- some units are still very vanilla
- ...
