Basileia tōn Rōmaiōn - One city challenge

[PerXX]

I've always liked this faction, but never liked starting with any already established empire.
Therefore I've created this small sub-mod.

This mod changes the Byzantine Empire to start with only Constantinople. All other provinces they normally control are now controlled by rebels.
It is obviously not balanced, and certainly not historically correct. It's just a bit of fun I made for myself.
Since the Byzantines seem to be many people's favorite I decided to share it here.



To install, download the descr_strat.txt file and copy it to ...Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign. Overwrite the existing file.
To uninstall download the descr_strat- org.txt file and copy it to ...Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign. Delete the existing descr_strat.txt file, and rename descr_strat- org.txt to descr_strat.txt

With a bit more modding you could make this into a 1453 start position! Now THAT would be interesting...

[Lifthrasir]

That sounds like an late era game. That would requier much more work.

Btw, nice idea PerXX. As a "mini-mod", it can bring some fun.

[PerXX]

Heh. I don't think this is much of a base for anything (though anyone would be free to do so).
This is just a bit of quite ahistorical fun I quickly put together to be able to play as the ERE without starting with a complete empire.

Is it free from crashes to desktop?

How much income will there be with only constantinople?

Does the byzantine roster have any weaknesses at all?

This minimod is all that I ever wanted to play with the bizies! Thank you very much, PerXX, you rock!

1: In terms of CTD's it's identical to SSHIP. No more or no less crashes. It's a fairly minor submod that uses mostly the same files.

2: Constantinople is the most developed, and the most rich city at the beginning of the game.

3: For the majority of the game, the Byzantines have a very strong roster. They do lack very late units, like gunpowder, or a medium spearmen unit, between basic militia and professional, but overall, it's one of the strongest and most balanced rosters.

Updated for SSHIP V0.9

Would be nice you could send a defining picture of your mod together with a one-sentence description via PM so I can update the "Additional Options" Post with it, together with a link to your mod.

[Dark1Isaac]

very nice! i would like to see all factions only start with one 1 city or castle, thanks

Updated for SSHIP V0.9

I guess, this does not mean late and high era? And i also guess it would be quite difficult to adjust this awesome mod for late and high era?

[PerXX]

You're correct, this is still only Early era.
Technically it wouldn't be all that difficult to adjust for the late era, just a lot of repetitive work

I suppose if there's demand for it, I could try to make a update for the late era when I find the time.

[RexTrust]

If it helps, i could do some of the repetitive work, if i know what to do.

I started to play with the descr_strat in the high_and_late_era_campaign order, like changing constantinople to byzanz instead of venice, giving smirna to rebels - but it didnt work :-(

any suggestions where to look would be much appreciated!

Broken, DO NOT USE.

Yes, at the beggining of Download Page you will see that ANY MIMIMOD IS NOT COMBATIBLE with 0.9.6 version unless is updated by the authors , which are inactive most of them.
