ANABASIS:MARCH OF THE TEN THOUSAND TOTAL WAR

[Legio]

This mod will go from 404 BC-350 BC.
It will cover the epic march of Xenophon and the ten thousand Greek mercenaries from Saris to Trebizond through miles of hostile territory.
It is for BI so that the 10,000 can start off as a horde.
The map will go from Greece and Thrace to halfway through modern-day Iran.
The factions so far are :
The Ten Thousand
The Persian Empire
Persian Usurpers
Sparta
Corinth
Thebes
Macedon
Getae
Scythia
Armenia
Athens
Trebizond
Euboea
Thermon
Armenia



I can do UI cards and traiting, I can also put cities in descr_strat. More updates coming soon.

do you want help?

[Legio]

do you want help?

I need mapper mostly.
I will do faction symbols soon.

[Xavier Dragnesi]

If this comes out, I will look forward to it immensely. However, I won't be of much help, as I've never been much of a modder.

Can you help as a historian Xavier?

Agisilaos-Thanks, buddy!

Update: Started faction symbols and dug up my old copy of the Anabasis for quotes.

[Agisilaos]

good luck on this friend. seems very interesting idea

[Xavier Dragnesi]

That's an idea LC. In terms of history, I am no 'young grasshopper' at The March of the Ten Thousand

P.S. Wow agisilaos, that's a vast amount of rep you've accumulated in 740 posts

[Legio]

Great!
Is the faction list historical?
Any suggestions as to units and factions?
Congrats on becoming a local moderator!

[KaerMorhen]

interesting idea I wish you best of luck for sucessful ending!!!

[Legio]

Thank you!
I found this for a Macedonian faction symbol:
The horse would be cool.

I will do it now on GIMP.

[Xavier Dragnesi]

Thanks for the congrats. I don't see anything wrong with the faction list, though perhaps you might consider adding Egypt into the mix?

[Legio]

I did not think the map would go that far. I thought it would just show the Greek cities, and Asia Minor/Armenia. If the map is more zoomed in, we can add more provinces and have the campaign be more challenging for the 10,000.
I was thinking along the lines of this:
I was originally thinking of Indian factions but I want to have a bunch of provinces in Turkey and Greece, where all the action was.

I see the reasoning in that. Well, I think it's time for me to dig into my bookshelf in search of Anabasis as well.

[Legio]

I would like to add more Greek city factions, preferrably in Thessaly or Euboea.:hmmm:

Great!

have to read the book in order to see what could be added.
edit: to read it again i mean

[Xavier Dragnesi]

Thessaly would be an idea, but I don't think it was that influential or important enough to just be a faction on it's own.

[Legio]

BI lets you create new cultures, so here are the different Greek cultures.

Persians next, and tomorrow or Monday the faction symbol preview.
As well as cool sigs.

Correction. RTW lets you add one new culture into the game. It is pretty difficult as well.

[Legio]

Oh, well. Thank you Roman_Man #3, for telling me. I would not like to find out the hard way.

[Remlap]

post some unit descriptions when you have them and I will try to tailor some units to surpass your expectations!
