Future Plans

Next we will be starting work on a larger update that will include some new features for the Alexander submod, some new features for the main mod and also may include some new battle updates. KAM will possibly have a new experimental pack for those who enjoy testing soon! We also have a website in the works, a small preview of which you can see here.

Thank you Dresden! I finally have some spare time and Rome 2 + DEI is still my best choice for 4 years now.

One thing I noticed is how the Ardiaei went from being the most neglected faction in TW (according to RepublicOfPlay in YouTube too if I'm not mistaken) to receiving so much love and dedication to the point that the Illyrians are always mentioned in every update.

It really fixed things for me in the Balkans as I personally only focus on Italy, Spain, Greece, Western Balkans and Western Anatolia.

Nevertheless, I might have raised this issue many times before but why do the Ardiaei get Barbarian style buildings in the Campaign Map? I notice the Delmatae end up transforming a semi Hellenistic looking city into a barbarian one slowly (starting with the wall).

Even the Odryssians get nice looking buildings together with the Triballians who shouldn't even be in the game as the Autariatae drove them East and Alexander forced them to migrate in Getae territory and their power was further reduced by the Autariatae and the migrating Celts.

So IMO considering the time period you should replace the Triballi who also wrongly have Celtic skins with the Dardani for a far more interesting and historically accurate experience.

That and I still believe you should change the Ardiaei buildings into Hellenistic, especially since Epidamnos became a Corinthian/Korkyrean colony since 7th century which brings me to my next suggestion to rename Epidamnos to Scodra, the actual Ardiaei capital as well as its location on the map is perfect. Epidamnos is almost exactly between Scodra and Apollonia (even slightly closer to the latter).

Hope my post it's informative and helpful.

The Illyrians have a mix of Barbarian buildings and Hellenic sprawl if I remember, so it should look unique compared to any other faction.

Ardiaei's level 4 Epidamnos in the campaign map has 1) what looks like a burnt Square with black tiles, 2) amother barbarian looking square with 3 ugly buildings, and 3) a white small fishing village. It's completely empty even for North European barbarian standards.

Epidamnos was an Hellenistic Polis while Scodra (where Epidamnos is mistakenly placed) was a walled heavily fortified settlement, nothing like celto-germanic villages build by carpenters.

So in the campaign map I see simply a razed and burnt small barbarian village instead of a level 4 Polis.

Do you have in mind an update for Imperator Augustus, Empire Divided and the Rise of the Republic just like the main campaign? I mean including battle changes, scripts, roster overhauls, AOR etc.
Imperator Augustus has already updated, but I would like to know if the DEI team will continue working on this campaign.

Greetings.

[Dumanthis]

Excited to see what you guys add on the Alexander campaign

The IA campaign has been worked on extensively with custom units for various factions, etc. I don't think we have many more plans for it. The other 2 campaigns will be lightly worked on but nothing major soon, they are well outside the mod's main timeframe and, therefore, would require an entirely new effort/overhaul. I would like to get some of the anachronistic units out of RoR, such as the Nuragic roster.

Good news, thank you Dresden!

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Hey Dresden, is this save compatible?

[~Seleukos.I.Nikator~]

*Save game compatible

Hey Dresden, is this save compatible?

It's. He actually wrote it up there.

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Oh my bad. Good to know.

[struckat]

Is there an easy way to find this on Steam? I have looked through almost the whole workshop. Sorted every way possible and searched on 1.25, 1.25a, nothing. Any tips on finding this?

[KAM 2150]

It is already included in the first part of DeI

[struckat]

So I just need to get a new part 1?

Doh! Never mind. I went back to my Pergamon campaign and see new cards! Beautiful!

[Dresden]

Part 1 only yep. I won't update Part 2 unless its a large update that requires it.
