Better Alexander v0.1 [ALX - NON-MODFOLDERED]

[AntonioBarbarian]

Okay so this is my first mod for RTW (and also games in general), took me about 3 weeks (most of these i was playing Rome 2 or Just Cause 2 instead, so modding took max. 1 week).

What this mod does? It adds various regions around the map (57 new regions, from Europe to India), adds new factions (currently only India and Greece) and various map changes (I added 2 mountain passes between India/Bactria and Eastern Iran, also reworked Greece, Asia Minor, Crimea and the Nile Delta, plus ground type changes almost everywhere). Here is a few Screenshots:

- How to install -

1 - Open the mod file with 7zip or Winrar and drop the "alexander" folder inside the installation folder (NOT INSIDE THE "alexander" OR "data" FOLDERS).
2 - Play!

- Bugs and issues -

* Indian female names appear invisible.
* Intro script isn't working, I disabled it until fixed, Outro will still be played.

- Things I want to do for next versions -

* 4TPY script.
* New map (I want to do something from the Rodane (Around Massilia) to Northeast India).
* AOR System.
* More factions.
* Making the campaign playable after finishing it.

Thats pretty much it, feel free to discuss the mod and give suggestions!

Looks great, just remember you got to make sure the campaign can be completed in like 9 years or so, also you got to make sure it's not a siege fest. perhaps make only certain cities can create troops to make battles more decisive, this also avoids a stack spam by the Persians. Remember it's suppose to be a short campaign. Anyway looks good.

Thanks, hmm, I just though about reducing settlement growth, so it takes longer for cities to grow. This way, the Persians will still spam armies, but of very low quality, with rare good stacks around.

EDIT: Also, with 4tpy (which I want to add to v0.2, togheter with mod folder), with just Alexander's army you can get 2 cities per year, excluding the distance, with all the 4 armies, thats 8 settlements per year, so with a steady pace, in 5, 6 years you can complete the campaign.

Also, should I increase the movement rate?
