[RELEASED] Sea People Wrath - Submod

[Lanjane]

Amazons have a very fragile strategic position - they can simply be overrunned by Hitites. For human player it's interesting and somewhat challenging to play this faction, but are the AI showing any performance playing them? Because with such woeful finance situation from the start, amazons seem to be doomed.
By the way, will you add third level mines, like in BI, or tax boosting buildings, like in Extended Cultures mod? And are you planning to add new portraits for amazons?

I know that the Amazons have a difficult start position, but this is because the mod is unfinished yet. In the last stage I will include many scripts to create barbarian invasions (Doric Invasion, Sea People Raids, and periodically some Gasga Invasion), so sometimes, the Amazons will receive some reinforcements to attack and invade the Hittite territory. Apart of this, Amazons are an horde faction, so they can form a huge horde and try to destroy their enemies. The AI is not very clever with it, but for the moment in all the games I have played, they resist without losing territory to the Hittites.

And finally yes, I have included many new buildings to improve the economy and I will include some more in later versions.

Elkar, maybe you will find this useful (some Viking Invasion building pictures like boat builder, farms, salt mines etc.) - http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=3920
They need to be edited, however, but are easily moddable.
Attached to this post are:
1) some UI's already converted to TGA, with alpha channels and RTW-friendly.
2) new ship made by me for personal use. It may suit TTW, I think.

Thanks very much!

Your Coumbined Animation Pack is gorgeous, full of new oportunities, I will try to introduce it in my mod if you agree.

Sorry for the late reply, been caught up in modding lately and forgot to check this thread.

Feel free to use, just credit these people because they all have a part in the pack as it is combined.

Edit:

Mark Centurion did a fair number of portraits for a mod we worked on together. I'm sure he wouldn't mind letting you use them.

Of course.

I find it really interesting. Where I can take a look of these portraits?

(images removed)

edit: over at CATW Anarchon and I are working on a map and new factions etc, etc...

Anyway, Anarchon is great at all things mapping except beautifying it.

It looks fine and is huge in scope but we would prefer it to look stunning. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...0#post12280290

So would it be alright if we borrowed some of your textures or an adjustment of our map ground types file? It's fine if you can't, I will try my hand (it will be a first) at beautifying the map instead of other things.

[Mark Centurion]

the two imageshack links are not my work by the way... if you mean with portraits the general portraits i can upload those later for you. don't have my rtw installation at the ready but keep it in mind and update later.

the portraits are all great fantasy art from well known artists i simply resized them and did the alpha channels on them to make them look more inline with the other portraits.

[z3n]

Thanks for the catch

[Mark Centurion]

haven't got the time to do a preview, but the portraits for the generals and unit cards are uploaded. you will have young and old versions. the old ones will have white hair. its a complete package you also get some civilians and roges images check them out if you like them feel free to include them in your mod.

the package has some surprise apperances... *smiles*

In the name of the Amazons and mine, thanks very much !!!!

[Mark Centurion]

Do you have Windows 7 or Vista?

In that case, try to modify the “RomeTW-BI.exe” file:

- Clicking with the right button, then click on “Property”.
- Clicking on “Compatibility”.
- Select Windows xp compatibility, then save.
- Execute the program as Administrator!
- Save and close the file.

You do realize that the "Sea Peoples" were a loose confederation of Mycenaean Greeks? After they sacked Troy they turned on the rest of their known world (for whatever reason, maybe the dorians burned down their homes back in Greece and they started raging) and sacked the Hittites, the Jews, and the Egyptians. In Homer's Odyssey even, there talks about how Menelaus traveled to Egypt with his army after the war. And there's good documentation for how the philistines in the Bible fighting against the Jews wore armor and weapons only found in Mycenae Greece.

I fail to see why this mod exists. TTW is enough, unless you're planning to add the middle east proper for the full invasions of the Sea Peoples...

Don't be harsh man, its not a crime to make a mod, besides, pretty broad statement you made in regards to who the sea people were seeing as how most scholars have trouble identifying who they were. Anyhow you don't need to be harsh, its' just a mod for people to enjoy and without Elkar creating this Fantastic mod TTW would be dead, heck before Elkar released his first Add-on Mod for TTW, TTW was somewhat incomplete, filled with various placeholders and such, Without his hardwork this mod and its thread would be like the other dead mod threads with new forum members always popping in creating inappropriate threads asking if this mod is dead.

Well, the true reason of making this mod was to finish-improve each aspect of TTW mod.

Many years ago, when I played this mod for the first time, I found it amazing but incomplete, like an unpolished gem, there were many elements inside the mod not included in the game. As it had a great potential I decided to improve that mod by myself, but in that moment I did not have many RTW modding skills, so I had to learn by the "try and error" method. For example, in this moment I have 4 copies of this mod in my computer only to see how my modifications afect the gameplay, the stability or if something crashes.

When I saw that my modification was huge enought to be called a mod for itself, I decided to find a name and after doing a historical research I decided its current name: Sea Peoples Wrath.

Why? Well, I found a paralelism between Rome TW and Troy TW (Romans said that they were the descendans of the Troians that flee of Troia after its destruction), and like the expansion of RTW is Barbarian Invasion, I found 2 barbaric invasions in that age: the Dorian Invasion and the Sea Peoples Raids and I decided to include them in the mod as script spawn invasions and I named the mod by this form.

About who were the Sea People, for the moment, nobody really knows what happened in the end of the Late Bronze Age. There are many theories but not a true answer to explain that event.

I am back here and i will try to upload some videos on youtube or just i will continue to upload screenshots from my campaign in my thread.
EDIT:YOUR SUBMOD TTW FOLDER NOT WORKING CRASHES IN CAMPAIGN,DATA FOLDER WORKING WELL.CHECK IT PLS.
WINDOWS XP

[Dengizich]

better bring back 0.95v it was working fine at least for me.

[Elkar]

Do you have Windows Vista or 7? Because in Windows XP it works perfect.

Rome Total War was designed for XP, so in Vista and 7 it has many compatibility problems.
