Hello folks!
I'm ahowl11 the leader of Historical Rome Total War. I have decided to create my own mod with some outside help. I have been thinking a lot during the development of HRTW and I have figured out that hard coding, a large team, and a broad base for a mod can really be frustrating, especially when you are trying to be historically accurate, and keep it your own mod. So I am going to make my own mod on the side, as I'm just a coordinator for HRTW as it is. Anyways, here is the mod:
Map: Mundus Magnus 4.0 but edited so Northern Europe and the steppes do not exist, the mod focuses on the Rise of the Republic, Rome did not face the northern barbarians until the late republic and empire periods.
Time Frame: 280 BC - 107 BC
The Game will stretch from 280 BC, when Rome was fighting Epirus, to 107 BC when Marius reformed the Roman Army.
Faction List:
1. The Roman Republic - The House of Julii
2. The Republic of Carthage - Carthage
3. The Seleucid Empire - Seleucids
4. The Ptolemaic Empire - Egypt
5. The Antigonid Kingdom - Macedon
6. The Lysimachean Empire - Thrace
7. The Odrysian Kingdom - Dacia
8. The Kingdom of Pontus - Pontus
9. The Kingdom of Armenia - Armenia
10. Parthia - Parthia
11. Numidia - Numidia
12. The Bosporan Kingdom - S.P.Q.R.
13. The Kingdom of Pergamun - The House of Scipii
14. The Kingdom of Epirus - The House of Brutii
15. The Kingdom of Bactria - Scythia
16. Luistanians - Spain
17. Celt-Iberians - Germania
18. Illyrians - Britannia
19. Celts - Gauls
20. The Greek City States - The Greek Cities
21. Rebels - Rebels
Other features:
Vanilla style units, meaning they will have faction colors
AOR - something that vanilla needed
New Units - many reskins and new units
Historically Accurate cities: cities that actually existed at the time, and I'm hoping to have the max city limit to make it more interesting
4 turn script
Roman Army: No Marian Reform, all pre-marian units.
No more fantasy units
I will add to this list as the mod progresses, for right now I need help with the map!
