Elphir/Hax's Great Faction Swap

Elphir · Elphir

Greetings!

As of yesterday, I've been busy with a little something I've been calling

The Great Faction Swap!

This is how it works. I take some factions, and relocate them to another place on the map. Current list of things is:

Koinon Hellenon - Basileion tes Bosphorou (the Kingdom of the Bosphorus)

Epeiros/Baktria - Pergamon

Saba'en - Meroë / Numidia

Arverni/Aedui - Thraikia

Arverni/Aedui - Galatia

Casse - Belgae

My plans for these factions are:

New faction icons

Reworked family tree and family members

New victory conditions

Changed recruitment

New traits

I've worked mostly on the Bosphoreans now, and here's a little something to give you an impression.

Until now, it's been myself only that has been working on this project, but if anyone wants to help out (also by playtesting, this is very important.)

Interesting project. Good luck to you.

One comment: Bosphoria would probably only consist on Pantikapaion in 272BC.

Elphir · Elphir

It would? Okay, then I'll have to edit that.

Antiochos VII Sidetes · Antiochos VII Sidetes

Sounds cool! I would use it.

Also, the Bosphoran Kingdom can be named just plain Basileion Bosphorou. The ''tes'' isn't needed.

Thank you very much

Cool, I had to put up with Aiakides and other Epirote names for a bit in my game, before they all died out. Killing off Helenos and Pyrrhicos before they spawned any offspring helped kill off the original family line, though.

Has Philetairos got a eunuch-related trait?

awesome very awesome, how is this going to be implemented? One mod for all of them or smaller patches for each new faction/faction swap? I think the latter would work out better, as people would be able to mix and match swapped factions. It would definitely bring new life to my EB games. Good luck

Also it seems someone else is also looking into this, check http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=174906, you two might be able to work together

I will work that in. It won't stop him from getting a wife, but a -10 fertility bonus will hopefully stop him from getting any children. And if he does, let's just say he adopted them from a poor mother who died in childbirth or something

There will be smaller patches. Probably .rar files.

For Pergamon, you could change the faction symbol to something relating Ascpleios, probably the staff with the snake coiled around it.

Elphir · Elphir

If only I had the knowledge to change textures and such.

Javierfv1212 · Javierfv1212

I don't think it would be too hard to change the faction symbol, maybe i'll ask over at the workshop. What do you of this?

Its a cista mystica, which holds the asclepian snakes, even though it comes from a later roman coin i think it would be fine. Probably the most famed symbol of Pegamon. Im not too good at photoshop but i thought id give it a try. Also I'd be willing to test your mod if needed.

Elphir · Elphir

That looks very cool. I'll probably add it.

(Okay, just once) Antiochos VII...last true scion of the Seleucid dynasty...rest in peace, son of Hellas. Please forgive me for not fulfilling my TWC responsibilities to the fullest -- I'm utterly swamped by RL at the moment.

It began on seven hills - a historical house-ruled Romani AAR Heirs to Lysimachos - a semi-historical Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR Philetairos' Gift - a second attempt at an Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR
