Map Regions idea:

[Morrowgan]

Good luck !

[demagogos nicator]

Yes, good luck!

[Pericles of Athens]

I think if you are really out of world total war for good then you should make the map larger so it has like asia minor egypt syria?.?.
good luck

[Achea]

I think the way the map is right now is correct. The more you expand a map the more generic the factions become (no small one- two province factions) and expanding would mean more work.

[Sabazios]

nice, i like the time frame and the emerging factions.

[Spike]

Why not try to make this as submod for Aristeia? They have exactly the same timeline, just focusing more on mythological aspects, but their models are very nice and historically accurate mostly (except bare breasted SEXY amazons of course ). It will provide you with good experience about modding.

Good Luck!

[Achea]

(except bare breasted SEXY amazons of course ).

*Grabs credit card for online purchasing* Say what?

[Spike]

Aristeia, the mod listed on very top of rome hosted modifications. Yeah, stay truthful to the lore, including topless Amazons.

[Miroslav Klose]

Awesome mod idea!

[Apollyon]

Good luck to you! This looks like its had alot of thought put into it.

[Michael333]

I can ask for some units, some are too much unhistorical...
So, the map will stay like that.

[Michael333]

No topless amazons, I want an historical mod, I don't want to see Achilles fighting against Hector, this is no Troy Total War.

[Michael333]

Possible starting zone of the invaders (blue: Sea People; yellow: Dori):

[Achea]

I woud suggest then perhaps trying to cooordinating with the Bronze Age team and see if they could lend you some of their units.

[Michael333]

I will need a mapper (I've tried to learn mapping but I really don't understand a thing )
a coder and a scripter (we'll need some scripts for the emerging factions and for the Trojan War (spawn an army two great armies near Troy: one of Mycene and one of Troy)

[Michael333]

You're right, Aristeia has just fantasy units. I live in Italy and I'm studying latin, ancient greek and I'm reading the Iliad, wich doesn't describe armours like those!
I'll see what units has the Bronze Age mod.

[Michael333]

I don't know why, but Bronze Age Total War doesn't work!

[Pericles of Athens]

micheal are you makeing this with the realy broze age units or with that of the illiad(Dark age early archadian period fighting style)?
