I think I will wait for the modders

[Destraex]

I want the EB greek armies in this expansion.

THe double handed kontos and the double handed pikes would be awesome.
THe overhand greek hoplites would also be good.

From the pics I see little difference and no animations seem to look much different.

Anybody care to guess as to who'll have the first mod up and running!

[Stalins Ghost]

Myself, I'm going to import units from other mods. As for the map...thats one we're going to have to wait on for improvements I think.

Yeah, trying to turn the Alexander map into a historically accurate map is like trying to turn saddam into a democrat, good luck with the units though.

[Hader]

I might do my own small mod for it, or it will turn into a bigger mod, but that is all just an idea at this point, no gurantees.

[Zarax]

XGM is planning to add a few units from alexander if they will be good enough for the job...

[Stalins Ghost]

My way of thinking is, I'll import the Macedonians from either RTR or EB, Persians from RoP (I presume they are a bit earlier looking for the period that ATW is set), a mix of barbarians, and I'm not yet sure about the Indians. Currently its gonna be private use I guess, but if I get it working well, and the permissions (of course ), I'll think about releasing it.

Damn right your releasing it!

RTR 6 has some good but basic indian units, you could ask to use them. Id imagine EB would have indian units as well if the map has indian lands.

RTR 6 also has some good thracian and illyrian units, although in RTR Illyria seems very hellenised, im not sure if it was like this before Alexanders conquest.

Oh, and dont forget Greek units!

Well he'll need the permission of RTR and EB before he can do that! :luaghing:
As for me yeah I'll port RTR's Macedonian and Greek units in along with some from ROP,(Not all of them though, the immortals for example arent the same in this time period)
However EB has a very nice Persian cavarly unit that along with there armoured horse models would make a great Shahanshah bodyguard. :original:
I'll also use some Illyrians, Thracians, and Scythians from RTR, there Indians are pretty much the same as CA has so it wouldint make much of a difference.

As for the map I think I saw a map that had the Persian empire before Alexander's Invasion which would work great but I'll have to go find agian.

PS:Oh, and just for kicks I might throw Carthage and Rome in so Alex will have something to do if he doesint die by then.(I'll have to use a different map tho..)

Although I cant tell for sure until release - right now the Res Gestae and Rise of Persia mods are looking as good as (or better) than this expansion.

[Cyrus the Virus]

Can't see the point of modding this one, if there's possible nothing new,
but eventually if it would be something new, it probably come in next patch so the RTW players/modders could use the feature anyway..

See if anyone understand. :laughing:

For en example Night Figting could be enabled in 1.5..So no BI needed there.
