2022 PREVIEWS

It has been a while since I last posted updates here on the state of development, but don't worry, the mod is still being worked on and I can share some previews on what will come on the first major update in 2022

AITOLIAN LEAGUE

If you are fan of the Aitolian League, then you have reasons to be excited. The unit roster of the Aitolian League will be updated. The Pikemen will be removed, however 3 new units will join the ranks of the League! Elite Aitolian Cavalry (melee Cav), Thureophoroi Guard (Spear Inf) and Aitolian Swordsmen (Melee Inf). Note that the Thureophoroi Guard and the Aitolian Swordsmen will be available after the Thureos Reform, which the Aitolian League will be able to research faster!

Additionally, the Aitolians will receive a new, faction-unique monument chain, commemorating their historical victory over the invading Gauls.

NEW MECHANIC FOR THE CONTENDERS

The "Big 4", aka Demetrios, Pyrrhos, Lysimachos and Ptolemaios will get a new mechanic in the next update. It will allow them to move their capital to Pella if they manage to capture it.

REWORKED CAMPAIGN MAP

In the default Wrath of Sparta map, some province layouts make no sense. Why is Andros a part of Euboia? Or why do you need to control the island of Melos to get the full control over Argolis? The next update will rework the province layouts, making them more historical and more reasonable from a geographic point of view. This will also allow cities like Andros and Lysimacheia get their historic walls on the campaign map!

RHODOS

Rhodos is set to join the playable factions list in Demetrios Poliorketes! Rhodos will wield a strong and powerful navy, including fire ships! Rhodos will also have access to a little unique event, celebrating Rhodos' patron, Helios.

That is all for this preview, make sure to leave feedback/suggestions either in the comments here, or on the discord server!
