I'm working on a small patch for the mod which should include the new lydian units and also a few other fixes.

**Zenith Darksea** · September 27, 2006, 06:23 AM

Ah well, at least something will be done. It would have been nice if we could have got the character names in though. Maybe I'll take a look at that sometime.

Yes, if we could get the family trees in then we could call it a real patch.

I have included the lydian units and unit cards so far, descriptions for the new lydian units would also be nice.

I've also been able to make a quick fix changing the greek factions portraits from barbarian ones to RTW greek ones. I'm affraid i can't do female portraits for the amazons and faction specific portraits for each greek faction although i'm sure it is possible. The problem with the amazons is that they are eastern culture. They would need their own culture in order to get the right portraits.

Updated.

BTW Zenith I have also added the elite units for the factions as hidden resources etc.

Excellent. I'll try to sort out the character names ASAP.

**Zhuge_Liang** · September 27, 2006, 04:44 PM

The mercenaries are now recruitable as such and the northern, eastern, and greek rebels should start to appear now.

We still need

1) The family trees implemented
2) The arrival of the sea people
3) Victory and defeat screens implemented - (now completed)
4) Rename and add traits/ancillaries. - (now completed)

Any help with the above would be great

Updated.

If we can get the family trees and arrival of the sea people implemented then we can release the final version of the mod (at least as final as it is going to get with the curent team).

Agraes has said that he will implement the family trees. As for the arrival of the sea people i think that the amount of work required compared the the payoff isn't worth it. I will add the sea people units as mercs in some hittite provinces maybe.

im glad your back ZL

I have now also added the sea people units as mercs, removed and replaced the seige towers and fixed a number of other little issues.

p.s. Zenith, i got the quotations working and made the voices greek (btw for some reason the female voice aren't working, this means the amazons just don't say anything).
