The Hellenic States

[Aleksander the Average]

can put together a listing of all the units we want to change/add? (its a little confusing).

[Achea]

While I am fairly useless at skinning/modelling, I could assist in text editing for this "community made" patch.

[Lanjane]

I've created a unit of liby-phoenician infantry (merc). Achea, could you please help me with text description?

Not yet, but it can be improved with your help Just tell what units to add them.

Have you taken in consideration the addition of hoplites to Illyria? Maybe even the greek cavalry could be added to their unit roster as well!

[Lanjane]

Yes, sure, a very nice suggestion, Cinuz.

Javelin cavarly with AP axes would be very cool as an extra cavalry unit.

nice shield on the liby-phoenician infantry btw

[Cinuz]

I would also like to suggest to give to Pontus the greek heavy cavalry or the companions cavalry..

Btw, they need text description too. Who will help?

[Cinuz]

I don't think they'll need a special description. You can sue the same the normal hoplites has, and add something like "by the time th emod starts, Illyria was hellenised, so some of the illyrian nobility choose to fight as hoplites" or something as this!

EDIT - by the way, very nice!!

@Lanjane,

here is the missing unit, (or the wrong placed unit)
i'm talking about a Hoplite with Macedonian colours who is in Tarentum (owned by Epiros.)

here is a picture of it,

Lucarius, yeah, I know, you've already told about them. It's a wrong placed unit, Epirus can't recruit hoplites.

[Lucarius]

Alright then, just wanted to make things clear

[Sabazios]

I would also like to suggest to give to Pontus the greek heavy cavalry or the companions cavalry..

as an addition or to replace pontic heavy cavalry or Cappadocian cavalry?

[Lanjane]

I think that I'll add to Illyria special 'hellenized' barracks that can be build instead or as addition to 'regular' barracks. Then they will be able to recruit three additional hellenic units: peltasts, illyrian skirmishers and illyrian hoplites. What do you think of it?

[Aleksander the Average]

in that case massilia should have the option for either hellenic or barbarian barracks.

[Lanjane]

Well, here are all my additions in the single archive. The 'minipatch' will be continuously updating by your requests. So, what is implemented by now:

- New line of hellenic barracks for Illyria, and 3 additional Illyrian units: greek peltasts, illyrian skirmishers, illyrian hoplites
- Liby-Phoenician Infantry for Carthage (can be recruited in shipwright)
- Italic Skirmishers for Epirus
- Massalian Swordsmen for Massalia

EDIT: My misprint; please rename file UNIT_GREEK_PELTAST_DACIA.dds to UNIT_GREEK_PELTAST_DACIA.tga.dds in THS/data/models_unit/textures folder after you installed this minipatch.

A Master piece of work Comrade! +rep

[Lanjane]

Thank you

edit: ah, you meant comrade_general ..)

[Valkar]

Your work is also very good ! I am a great lover of these models

Lanjane: +rep

questions: why are illyrian peltastai in barracks instead of ranges?

even though we want to keep vanilla feeling... this gave me an idea. perhaps change recruitment: make barracks more expensive and longer to build but let them do everything that barracks+stables+ranges could do.




edit: and - maybe this is stupid - force people to choose between barbarian OR civilized barracks... both makes it easy somehow... (you could use the temple format to force a choice)

edit 2: i can help with this if you want.
