    I'm glad you're enjoying it!

    I unfortunately have no sigs created (didn't think I'd need em) but do you have anything in mind?

    I will post some screenshots tommorow from my Baktria campaign. For now i have some questions to better understand the gameplay.
    1. Large or Huge size units? Does it have any impact on balance? Personally I use Large always.
    2. In my Baktria campaign I use H/H difficulty, how VH/VH affect the game and it is really more difficulty? Because some mods have buggy VH campaign mode

    1. I go with Huge - the more the merrier!
    2. I personally use VH/VH, and I know that the AI is a royal pain in the arse - LOTS of armies being sent at you. VH is not buggy with AUC - so give it a try and let me know what you think

    PS - I'm playing a campaign as Rome at the minute; I just broke the back of Greece (who had conquered the Balkans) - they were APPALLINGLY tough. I had to train like 5 stacks just to prevent them pushing me out of the area utterly (they took my possessions in Moesia and Dalmatia); now, after a series of heroic victories, I've been able to retake my lands and conquer most of mainland Greece (Athens, the Peloponnese and parts of the Danube are still holding out... for now).

    Here's a picture taken from my most heroic victory ever; my heir was totally outnumbered and outclassed (the Greeks had better cav and better infantry); however I had good high terrain for my archers, so I was able to spark a mass panic after shooting down their general from afar - add that to the enemy troops' exhaustion from marching up a very steep mountain - and cue my very own Cannae =D

    This mod looks pretty cool. I have 2 questions.
    1:Are there any Roman Legions?
    2:Is Sparta one of the new playable factions ?
    Thanks and keep up the good work.

    There are Roman legions (if you create a legionary 1st cohort it has it's own legion number (i.e. Legio I Italica) or something. Beyond that there isn't much in terms of unique legions, sorry.

    Also, Sparta isn't a playable faction: there is a limit as to how many factions can be added to the game, and I figured that Sabaea was the best choice (given the lack of any factions throughout the entire Arabian peninsula).

    Hope that helps.

    I've added a wee demonstration video of the mod; basically it shows a very quick flyover of the campaign map and a single custom battle. In case you prefer to see video footage in lieu of pictures

    PS - Excuse the audio quality - have to make do with a webcam speaker here!

    The video link can be found here.

    That's a great wee video, just as you do I have a dislike of Generals bodyguard chariots (Britons), would it be possible for you to make a patch to change this to heavy cavalry? I have one for the Belgae Generals in Roma Surrectum but obviously cant use it in this mod.

    I considered it for a time, but decided against (due to the fact the Britons were known for chariots in warfare). Nonetheless I CAN make a simple patch for gameplaying purposes; I'll fire it up soon.

    British Warlord Alternative.zip

    And here you go; here's the alternative version of the British Warlord. Be sure to extract this to your Rome Total War Alexander/AUC folder (NOT data); then simply run and play. It will have no effect on your current savegames =)

    As the Britons, you can recruit them in Ireland and Scotland (the latter due to the historical ties between the Scotii and the Pictae/inhabitants of Dal Raida), provided you have the required barracks to train them. They're also available as mercenaries to any faction in the region.
