Interest in Alexander mod?

**Reloader-1** · June 16, 2008, 07:14 AM

I wanted to see how many people would be interested in a slightly brushed up, more historically accurate/more playable Alexander mod. It would run off the ALEX.exe, and would have the following

1. A new map (potentially 10-15 more territories)

2. 4tpy script, so more turns total.

3. No forced extermination or frantic pace- fast-paced but fun is my goal.

4. Inclusion of Greeks and Indians

5. Better Hypaspists (*much* better)

6. Better economical focus - not just march and pillage

7. A "Defense of Persia" campaign that is challenging

Thoughts?

I know BKB and Barbarossa82 made small mods, the main difference is the addition of many more territories on this map.

Go to the modding forums, there are the people you will need for a mod.

Good idea, but Selifators right, put this in the workshop.... More modders there.

Oh, I am just asking if people would be interested to see/play this mod. I can do it myself

Well it's a very good idea for a mod, bit like a Roma Surrectum for Alexander. But all mods, unless they are very small, take a hell of a lot of work. I suggest you go to the Rome Workshop and get another one or two helpers at least. But good luck for it, and I'd be happy to see it coming out.

See here.

Might be an idea to speak with RM#3, see what his vision entails and maybe pool your resources..

That mod you`ve linked is close to celebrate two years since its announcement unless I`m wrong and until now I haven`t seen anything concrete from them. By now it could have reached Gold status if it would have had a powerful will behind it. But since not even some sort of a beta is available I think it`s better you simple try it on your own. The changes you`ve proposed are reasonable for a one man team and you won`t have to wait for other`s contribution. As for my interest, I am interested. Just hope such a mod will eventually come out. Besides Bkb`s effort nothing major materialized yet even if there have been plenty announcements and even sub-forums started.
I`m sure interest(to play it) you`ll find. The helping part will be tougher. But I wish you good luck!

Yes, I too might be interested in playing it. I just finished a book about Alexander so my interest in that era is now on its height. Also the "defense of persia" sounds exciting.

Good luck with your mod
