[Direct Download] - Ancient Empires 2.0

The mod is looking and feeling great!
I noticed one potential issue with certain unit stats for Lusitani.
The tier 2 Lusitani Vobrim Epones have better stats than the late-game Tier 3 Ambakaro Epones. Also, the Bastetani Epones Scutari (Tier 2) have better stats than Tier 3 Ambakaro Epones as well.
The only attribute that the Amabakro Epones have that the others don't is 'Disciplined', but they still have less morale than the other two.

This also applied to the infantry. Lusitani Dunaminica exceed the late-game Ambakaro Infantry in everything. The only unique stat for the Ambakaro infantry is the ability to get bonuses for countering charges. Same goes for the late game spears being inferior to the mid-game spears.

Hello everyone, I am experiencing a few problems trying to download this mod.

Part 2 of the mod would not download for me from the workshop so I downloaded it from this thread (thanks for the updated link btw) and followed the instructions.
I activated part 2 in the mod manager after extracting it into the data folder, and I now have access to custom battles but when I try to do a campaign the vanilla factions still show up for some reason...

I tried uninstalling Attila completely, made sure I wasn't suscribed to any other mod etc but it still won't work.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this issue ?

Didn't you download part 1 as well? I would recommend downloading both parts, and then activating the mod, without forgetting to check the "allow obsolete/outdated mods".

I've just started with this game again, looking through updates, what patch are we on now, i see there is a patch 6_ At the moment i have opted out of all open betas. So what patch shall i use? thanks.

i am uploading the new 1.15 update and links will be posted sometime today.

Hi! First of all, thanks for keeping this thread up.

My problem is: I was able to download the Part 2, extracted the main file. It didnt come out as a PACK file, it was just in a FILE format. The name is different from the one in your OP as well: it's "AEpack2". The png is also missing for part 2

I just tried those links and yes it seems the files are all corrupted for part 2. Try subscribing on steam for part 2.

One of two things went wrong: either you didn't follow instructions for pack 2 or it was corrupted during download. I just successfully downloaded and extracted myself to make sure. Ok so you should have 3 files for pack 2 downloaded ending with .001, .002, and .003. They should be 2.19Gb, 2.19Gb and 1.51 Gb. With all three in the same folder, you extract only the .001 file. If this doesn't work for you first just try a different program to extract with. If it still don't work it means you need to delete and re-download. The larger a file is, the more likely it is to be corrupted during download. That is why i split into 2 then 3 parts. As far as i know about 5 people have had problems out of 600 downloads. If you are able to subscribe through steam its easier all the way around. I'm just providing this for those who can't or want to play and older version.

*Crash reporting fix - I have identified some issues with factions, specifically civil war or rebellion factions causing late game crashes - Although, i have not been able to identify the EXACT root of the cause, i did identify missing items in our database tables regarding these factions. I do apologize for the inconvenience, as these crashes are just as frustrating to the AE team as anyone. However, happy to say that I have tested previous crash saves provided from the community (huge thank you), and confirmed this fixes issues related to this CTD. In particular, the most recent reported crash is with EUPATRIDOI TES KOLCHIDEOS or the Cholchis Civil war faction. So far I have seen this as being fixed.
Please note that there still could be some future CTDs, but that will be the result of unreported issues at the moment. If reported, we will fix asap.

Items upcoming in a future patch:
Script, similair to the the kingdoms feature in Charlemagne, the Roman Republic will be able to become an Empire - Name change and additional effects once this is triggered
Working on a Conquest script - This will effectively be War weariness; but with opposite effects - The more you conquer/win battles the more the people will like you and praise you. However, be weary of rivals as this may result in civil war.
Continuous bug fixing - Campaign, battle, visuals
Fixes to battle mechanics

Steam auto updates?

[texoman81]

Steam auto updates?

Yes, if you are subscribed on Steam it should auto update giving you the newest version released. That is easiest for most, but for a variety of reasons some people need an alternative method to obtain this mod. What i post on here is always taken from steam. I have never posted an internal build or posted here before steam. I was actually completely out of the loop for this update and only found out about it when i saw it had already been updated on steam. So i was as surprised as anyone else.

@texoman81

I usually don't post much here, but the news of the arrival of the long-awaited update has made me ecstatic. I just wanted to say thank you and the AE team for your hard and tireless work on the mod. Ancient Empires has brought me my favorite Total War experience to date and is one of my all-time favorite, if not the favorite, Total War mods.

Thank you!

[gnosis89]

Huzzah! I am so glad to see that this mod is still being worked on. The only mod that could be a sort of DeI to Atilla (not to say it's the same, but I mean with as much content and as well fleshed out). Thank you so very much. Also, who is still working on it?

[plaphi]

Really love the Mod. But i am also stuck in my Roman Campaign with End Turn direct to Desktop Crashes.

I experienced multiple Crashes through the Turns 80ish.

Now it always CTD after Turn 109.

Save Game Turn 107 and
Autosave Turn 109 (after everytime CTD) ->

Would be awesome if somebody could help.

[assassine]

Are Rebellions bugged? In the beginning of my Roman campaign they spawned as they should, but now after 70 turns they just dont spawn anymore. Does anyone know what is to be done about that?

[ioannis76]

Thank you Texoman for your efforts! Your presence is invaluable!
