This wouldn't be at all similar to Hegemonia: Poleis Krate, would it now?

EDIT: I just checked out your website. Not only is it very similar to Hegemonia: Poleis Krate, but it's also remarkably similar to our own Rise of Persia. Tell you what, why not join Hegemonia or ROP instead of setting up yet another mod that doesn't seem to have much future (sorry, but no new mod like this is going to get anywhere with all the best modders already busy)? Then we could get these much bigger mods out faster, with much the same effect?

i can help!! with info on hellenic times..
Always helping a mod about my country

yea every one invited oh and the mod is different to all of those mods i started 3 days ago but have been planning the mod with my friend for about 2 months. All of the work in this mod is our own and no one elses for legal reasons the only units we are using is from the basic Rome total war agme itself. also the units shown are only temporary we have some briliant work still in modification and will be bringing out the screenshots very soon.

I agree with Zenith. As i can see it in your sign, you want to make a complete modification - then i guess your chances to succes are about 0.01%.
Anyway good to see another modder that want to gain some skills - so good luck.

as ive already said the mods only been running for 3 days and we are only getting the webpage and a few basic units and info up and running first. Im not very exprienced i must admit as im only 15 but want to create this mod myself and with a few team members and get some exprience for future mods.

[spirit_of_rob]

This is just the problem though. It's really too late to be starting a full conversion mod for RTW. M2TW will be out at the end of this year or the beginning of next, so you'll have to role this one out in about nine months at the most. You have three members - unless you get at least five more, you'll never get the mod out in time. The problem there is that all the modders right now, with the exception of maybe one or two of the more inexperienced ones, are already working on the big mods. Instead of giving yourself a baptism by fire, it would be far better to gain experience by working with the top modders in the bigger teams - then when M2TW comes out you'll have the knowledge and abilities to start and run your own mod. Unfortunately enthusiasm isn't enough, and unless you know exactly what you're doing right from the start, you won't have time to get this mod out, however promising it may be.

Alas, it's extremely similar to those other mods. Ok, the work is all your own, but consider this: your mod is covering Greece and Western Persia. Hegemonia: Poleis Krate is covering... Greece and Western Asia Minor. Rise of Persia is covering... Greece and Persia. Your mod is covering the classical period. So are those two other mods. You may have individual units, but your general theme and point of interest is exactly the same. Now, I don't mean to seem harsh, and I'm sure you have good potential, but here's the big difference between Greek: Total War and the two I've mentioned: Hegemonia and Rise of Persia are both in advanced stages of production and know exactly where they're going, whereas this mod isn't and doesn't. Why will people stop supporting Hegemonia and start supporting this when they have such a better chance of playing Hegemonia?

You probably have fantastic potential, but it would be better to realise this by helping one of the bigger mods (so that they might finally be released) than by starting a mod that won't come out and won't generate any interest.

EDIT: Oh, and I just had a more in-depth look at the website, and the lack of historical accuracy or real knowledge of Greece during that period is breath-taking. I'm not sure if you mean this to be in the Bronze Age or the Classical Age, as Mycenae and Spartan Hoplites (of the famous sort) did not exist contemporaneously. Really, I urge you to to join another mod.

boys boys....actually u have a zero chance of completing such project
u may have a lot of good time trying to,but u will not make much steps ahead since all the capable and xperienced modders interested in Hellenic history do other projects by now,such as hegemonia

i suggest u drop your plans and see if u can help us or RoP with doing some auxiliary work at first and if u prove capable maybe u could do something more important
that way,as zenith pointed out,u will get some xperience and maybe who knows,u could me able to run a good Hellenic mod in MED2,when we would maybe have been "retired"

if u are interested come for a ride in our forum where we even give modding instructions and tools,which may help u

Im sorry to say, but I think your our of work. Greek: Total War is going ot crumble liek almost every other full mod. The time period is being covered by two other mods, with more experienced teams. I'm not trying to sound mean, but judging by the screenshots, your units are not good at all. But if you believe that yor mod can truley succede 100%, go for it. A word of advice: If you want to lead of a mod team, don't say that your 15.

Well i might suggest a differnet approach to the more sombre ones above. Getting a full mod out for rtw before mtw2 comes out will be a real uphill slog. BUT if you do a little modding work with other mods you will not only gain valuable skinning and modeling skills, you will get to know exactly how mods work and how to lead one. Basically build up you're skills and make a name for yourself so that when mtw2 comes around you will know exactly how to lead a mod to success and you will rally many great modders to your standard after your contribution to other mods.

This is just a suggestion and i would admire your tenacity in continuing you're project. Both RoP and Hegemonia have work for you if you like my advice. I personally like you're units but they need a little more variation - however thats hard enough with hoplites as everyone knows.

Please consider my advice and know you have support and contacts in big mods willing to give you important work

yea ive had a think about what you have said and frankly im too late launching this mod. There are too many greek mods avalible at the moment. So i have decided to give this one up and go for somthing no one else has tried to created. A mod which canges the game to either world war 2 or the moddern day if anyone thinks that this is a good idea please tell me straight away!!! I have a great unit which im realy proud of and will show soon as soon as ive got thescreenshot avalible

[rez]

well again you would have more luck doing such a project on mtw2 where there will probably be less restrictions on you're work. I mean consider the airforce? Do you really think thats possible?

Truly you would do far better to get some experience before you head you're own mod

[Achilles234]

thats just the one consern that i have!!!


Merged double post. Please use the edit button next time. - Trajan


I would still think that if we could pull that off it would be one fantastic mod!
