Rise of the Sassanids

**dre123** · July 26, 2008, 10:36 AM

Hi everyone - This mod is based on the rise of the Sassanid Empire in the years between 208AD - 241AD. It will run on Rome Total War 1.5 and will include elements from BI including the Sassanid Faction along with night battles. It will include new formations from either the Darth formations superpack or Sinuets formations. The map is already completed and will from India to Asia Minor and from Egypt to Baktria.

The mod will include the following factions -

Sassanids
The Parthian Empire
The Kingdom of Armenia
The Roman Empire

Historical accuracy will also be a priority in this mod and it will also include new events along with either 4tpy or 6tpy script. Please comment if you wish or give suggestions if you have any issues concerning the mod.

You might want to add an Arab faction, and would you make Parthia susceptible to disloyal Generals?

Here is a map of 200 a.d. ; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-Hem_200ad.jpg I recommend that you add some faction that appear here. And perhaps add some region in arabia.

Good Luck!

Nearly got this mod finished - expect it to be released soon

Nice dre123, PM me the link.

how come you never got a forum?

**dre123** · July 31, 2008, 09:29 AM

I never asked it to be a major mod - anyway I have released many mods on this scale - If they were all on the forum then it would take to much space - also my mods are not qutie as major os the ones in the forums.

how many mods have you done? if you had a forum you would get more people to notice your mod.
and the forum would be called dre's mini mods.

I have done many mods -

Alexander 12tpy
Sassanid Mod 1.0
Rise of Macedon 1.0
The Punic Wars 1.0
The Conquests of Trajan 1.5
Regin of Antiochus 1.1
Graecia Total War 1.0
The Punic Wars 1.1 Full
Rise of Macedon 2.0
The Conquests of Trajan 1.5 for 1.5
The Punic Wars 1.2 Full
The Rise of the Sassanids

I have created many more mods than this but these are some of the mods I replaced with newer versions.

I also intend to continue work of my conquests of Trajan mod and I may start planning more mods based on Imperial Rome.

Sure, it is a good mod, but in the future do not ask for rep, it puts off some people and especially moderators and admins.

A 5 day mod

Nice work!

Oh, I get it. Just a small mod okay.

dre123, the level 1 barrack creates levy spearmen, level 2 barrack makes that plus Sughdian warriors, then all the barracks after that are the same as level 2 barracks, no new units, and doesn't even upgrade the levy spearment and Sughdian warriors in experience.

The level 1, 2 and 3 cavalry stables all only produce the camel rider. And there isn't an upgrade of experience with larger stables.

Same with archery range.

Could you patch the mod and add the higher level infantry and cavalry in the building capabilities.

The mod starts in 200 AD, so it's about the time of BI, and the unit roster of the Sassanids should be the same. So they should have cataphracts and everything. I don't think the mod is very exciting when the roster is limited to only 2 infantry and 1 cavalry unit and 2 archer units.
