Are there any mods that deal with Greece (and perhaps Anatolia) in the time before Alexander? Perhaps covering the Peloponessian War and the early wars against Persia.

I thought there was one a while ago, but have not been able to find it.

I want Hoplites!

(Yes, I have downloaded XGM, but I want a mod centered on ancient Greece )

[Nakharar]

Oh Hegemonia Total War is exaclty it Spartans athenians but it hasnt been realeased. I PERSONALLY think its going to come out late this year

[Nakharar]

I am a player who likes simplicity and goodness and not too much complicated. I want a mod which is RTW time period and has good AOR units and some other stuff.I dont mind some faction specific that go off the time limit but they better be good.(i have BI and RTW no alexander) Things i want:

Good AOR units
No bugs missing unit cards
Not too much complication
Not too many settlements
Factions such as Pergamum, Epiros,
Mods which are overall which don't just focus on Greeks and Romans but focus on Barbarians too.

The Options are

Roma Serrectum(Im playing it but dont undestand the Roman Legion thing)
Invasio Barbarum
SPQR mod( Sorry i PUT XGM instead vote for XGM if you want SPQR)
Terrae Expudangae
Rise of Persia

[Axeman]

Stick with RS!

[Eccentric]

SPQR

[Nakharar]

Whats different from EB to RS?

[Xavier Dragnesi]

RS all the way!
The difference is that EB was made a completely separate game,apart from the engine, thats why its so big yet in a mod folder. So in EB, the concept is similar, but the game is very different from RTW Vanilla. With RS however, its like an upgrade of RTW

[Axeman]

Hey everyone.

I am a Roma Surrectum Veteran *go macedon* and I am looking for a late roman empire mod. I tried IBFD, didn't care for its graphics, limited movement, or its limited recruitment. Does anybody know of a Barbarian Invasion type game with 0 turn recruitment and high action?

[Xavier Dragnesi]

Never heard of one, especially not with 0 turn recruitment.

So in your guys experience what is the best mod out there to get a Spartan experience from. What mod has the most Spartan units??? I know BBW has 4 which is a pretty substantial amount... mods like XGM and EB only have 1 or 2 which is not that much. If I want to play as the GCS or Sparta itself with a truly Spartan presence, which mod should I choose??? Thx

[Erwin Rommel]

Which mod doesnt need to run MS DOS upon installation like RS and FATW?

[Sgian Dubh]

Where do I find the download link for RS? I find it interesting that it is the top pick, yet does not appear in the stickied list of RTW mods..

I've tried searching for it in the downloads section and haven't been able to find it yet.

I've only played EB and now the latest EB, but if RS is that good I want to give it a go.

So now I have to find it....

Thanks,

Never mind, I found it.

[SpartanWarriorXI]

So any recommendations???

[Axeman]

So any recommendations???

ROP has a spartan faction, have fun fighting those athenians and makedonians!

[SpartanWarriorXI]

Ironically I've already played RoP but they didn't really have a very in depth Spartan faction, they only had two Spartan units... three if you count the Krypetia which was just a stronger form of peltast. I guess I could rephase my question as which mod has the most unique Spartan units lol

[Korlon]

I'm not sure, but XGM probably has some stuff for Spartans.

[SpartanWarriorXI]

I've also played that all the way through as the Greeks lol that was my first mod and my one true love but even XGM only has two Spartan units... I know BBW has four but I'm trying to find a mod that has Sparta as an independent faction with a complete line-up of its own units. I know Troy has it as a faction but that predates hoplite warfare. And RoP does too but they don't have many Spartan units (as they concentrate on Persia, not Sparta). Those are the only two mods I know of with Sparta as a faction and HCS and RS2 will have it but they're aren't released yet so I'm just trying to find the mod with the most Spartan presence/units...

[century x]

Simple question
Which of the barbarian invasion mods are based on a 0 turn recuriment?
I've never really played the BI mods but I want to give a bunch a try.

Thanks
