This is a pretty straightforward WIP. Mauri and Nobatia are fully functioning (except they have no chapter missions, but that's a low priority). Description from the steam page:
is a pretty straightforward WIP. Mauri and Nobatia are fully functioning (except they have no chapter missions, but that's a low priority). Description from the steam page:
Allows the player to select and play Nobatia and Mauri (gaetulians, garamantians, and axumites under construction). For the sake of gameplay, Nobatia has been changed from a vassal of ERE to a tributary state.
Current features:
-Family Tree & politics
-Victory Conditions
-4tpy
-Faction traits
Help me out!
If you want to take a few minutes, write out a faction summary and I'll probably put it up!
Project Timeline:
Soon: gaetulians, axumites, and garamantians all playable with above features.
Soon after that: chapter missions for each faction
After that: well, more factions, of course.
ANYONE WHO CAN HELP: BoB won't build a startpos whenever I add a third faction, this is the second times it's happened after a round of reinstallations and cache validations. If anyone has run into this issue before I could desperately use help resolving it.
Dude, I just found you post here. Just wanted to let you know that I'm having a really good time with your mod. I'm streaming it for the last two weeks and released my first yt vid playing as the garamtians. Stream is currently a Axum campaign and we stole the sassanids the homeland! It's great! Thank you very much, jaenos! Good job and keep up the good work!
Just in case you want know how things are going, check the links in my signature.
Kind regards,

I possess some knowledge about Nubia and if you want i can write the faction description for Nobatia. What amount of text do you want?
Added you on Steam btw.

Hi I just got into this game and is a really cool mod because they are no north african Factions except vandals. I noticed that the map blocks off most of north africa. Is it possible to enable traveling over it?? And make more north african Factions around it
Here are some faction summaries, and anyone who wants can use them. The Aksum summary is a bit longer, but that is because it was one of the major players of its time.
Aksum:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Since Aksum stepped into the light of history in the first century AD it witnessed a continuous gain of influence and power: Starting as one local power under many, it united northern Ethiopia under one banner and also annexed some major Red Sea ports like Adulis. The kingdom began to build its own fleet and took control over the entire Red Sea trade, which provided the Mediterranean world with goods from India. Therefore Aksum became the most important trading partner of Rome, and the conversion of king Ezana to Christianity in 340 AD only strengthen the bond. Already in the third century AD the Persian prophet Mani reported Aksum to be the third mightiest kingdom after Rome and Persia, and although India and China had been united since then there is no doubt that in 395 AD Aksum is still one of the richest and most prosperous kingdoms in the world.
If the Aksumite king, the ngsy, wants to spread his influence he should reconsider the origin of the royal Aksumite family from Saba and should conquer it back from Himyar, the mightiest kingdom in southern Arabia and Aksums biggest rival. By being the only Christian kingdom in the region it is also the duty of the king to free Arabias inhabitants from pagan rulership. When the ngsy conquered Arabia he might interfere in the Roman-Sassanian wars on the side of Rome or lead another invasion into the wild lands west of the Ethiopian mountains, just as the great Ezana did 30 years ago when he crushed the kingdom of Kush. However, for now the king should strictly avoid a war with Rome, as it is mostly the trade with it that keeps Aksum so powerful.
Garamantians:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Allthough the defeat by the hands of Rome 400 years ago was undoubtedly humiliating, the Garamantians learned fast that both they and the Romans would profit from peaceful relations and trade. However, the northern neigbour has been divided into two realms, and both are struggling with numerous enemies on the other side of the world. Meanwhile, the income by trade is becoming lower, and the water reserves keeping the legendary capital Garama alive are becoming scarcer. The Garamantian ruler has to act as soon as possible and conquer the more fertile and prosperous regions in the north. If he fails on that, Garama will slowly perish in the sands of the desert, disappearing as silent as it has emerged.
Nobadia:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The fall of the highly centralized kingdom of Kush several decades ago left a massive political vacuum in the region, a vacuum that many different peoples tried to fill. The undoubted most successful were the Noba, a nomadic people originating from the desert west of the Nile valley, which settled only relatively recently between the first Nile cataract and the very heart of the former Kushite kingdom. Just between the low end of the former Dodekaschoinos and the third cataract the northern Noba (Called “Red Noba” by Ezana, probably referring to their lighter skincolour in contrast to their more darkskinned kin in the south, the “Black Noba”) founded the chiefdom of Nobadia, and it won’t take long until they can transform their chiefdom into a centralized kingdom. To achieve that they have to stabilize their domain and show the local populace, that they are the rightful heirs of Kush. After that they can dare to challenge the superpowers surrounding them, building a vast Nubian empire.
No matter how the things turn out, one thing seems sure: Aithiopia is dead, so long live Nubia!
