Age of Hellas - (an Ancient Greek Mod)

[andrew.murphy1]

can any moderator please delete this thread, the mod has died unfortunately due to time constraints and a limited number of modders who were willing to work on it....

thanks

[andrew.murphy1]

PSS the thread below this one is about a similar mod (looks good however, and has my blessings) using the same AOH map, and i hadn't noticed it until i posted this thread... typical ... but there you go..

yes, a quick note, this mod aims to BALANCE GAMEPLAY AND REALISM, and i would like to represent each faction reasonably well (according to historical references) within the limits of the game obviously, but still keep that extra wow factor when Greece is tearing itself apart while Persia looms on the horizon...

pics soon to come!!!!

peace!

There is already a mod that focuses on these events, its called Hegemonia and needs work to finish it, perhaps you should contact them rather than start on an entirely new mod.

hegemonia doing similar stuff:

yes, i'm very aware of that fact. i'm also very aware of the fact ive been waiting a year for that mod to come out , no fault of theirs i'm sure, just perfecting it etc. As to me attepting to help them, i suppose i could, but i have my own ideas i'd like to pursue, and hey its a free world .ive already started a little while back, and they are also taking on a bit more than me, what with more people modding for them, so their mod will definitely be different: theyve included half of italia, sicily and the toe of africa in their campaign map, i think... as for joining them: i've already got my skins from KLA and some more from the old Hellas team, and i also have old Hellas' map of greece and asia minor reflecting the main concentration of greek city states (in greece...). I just have to do the text editing, scripting, aesthetics, etc. I also plan to implement 'edited' settlements, posssibly with multiple walls, ie, acropolis of athens, fortress of halikarnossos, etc. I have some interesting musical assortments that reflect the unique and innovative level of musical ability that the hellenes had achieved, too. One idea im currently flirting with (testing it out as we speak ) is the idea of different types of government (ie tyranny, oligarchy, monarchy, democracy, etc. i suppose something like in EB, except the effects will be more noticeable and much more consideration will be required when setting up different types, as it will affect everything )
Time periods: I'm also unsure as to what persian war Hegemonia are doing; the old Hellas team were doing the first one, i've decided to do from the second one up to the beginning of the third one (before the major decline of the greek city states as a whole, so that my hellenic mod actually makes sense )
i hope i've clarified some of the differences!!!

I believe its a great idea to restart Age of Hellas dont let Hegemonia supporters stop you. Just make sure you keep everyone updated often maybe a weekly update, because thats what i hate about Hegemonia people are still unsure if its still in progress and even if it is still going its been taking too long no offense to the modders i know they have lives. Also if you need any Historical information im always willing to help, im not much for the technical stuff. I like the idea of government but is it possible?

Your going to need to use those fixed KLA units - because he made all of his with pikes intead of dory's. I thin the fixed ones are in the downloads skins or mods section.
