..yes..everything alright...just need to sort....refound my old files...will start to work out traits soon...and have to look out for different-new models i want to implement...by deleting the 28 whatever legions, many slots will be free for aor...and faction specific units....also some babarian...spainiards could be switched out...by the way...i have still three free regions...cities...will upload the town-region list soon...so everyone who is interested could propose, which three more cities should be in...

Man, cool textures!! Great job!

also "when worlds collide"- song by Powerman 5000 someone asked, not sure if it was answered.

So did you guys decide on a starting date?


<-------(crosses fingers and prays its not another 280 BC mod.)

[leoni]

...counter question...what starting date do you would prefer, and why in relation to historical events, factions...etc. during this a closer look, inside a new world...

I like somewhere before start of second Makedonian war (200 BC)perhaps 211BC???
Lots of reasons. Second Punic war is still going (although of course no Spain on map) so Rome will eventually concentrate on Makedon, Antiochos III has yet to fight the battle of Panion against Ptolemy V Epiphanes, well a Ptolemaic army under Skopes. Antiochos III has yet to go on his Anabasis to the upper Satrapies, so from a Pavlava/Baktrian perspective you are on the rise but face a considerable threat!
And there can be an emergent Hasmonean faction and reformed Hellenistic armies later.
Nobody has properly looked at the post Magnesia Hellenistic kingdoms especially the reign of Antiochos IV (who always gets a bad press)

isn't that when RS II starts 543 AUC?
