Total War Mods - The Engineer's Shed / Illyria Reborn V1.2

« on: March 29, 2020, 08:21:33 PM »

Illyria Reborn V1.2

Illyria Reborn is a mini mod for Rome total war 1.5. During Rome Total War's develpoment Illyria was originally a playable faction but was cut during the games closing stages with most of the assests instead being used for Thrace. Creative Assembly thankfully left refrences of Illyria behind in the game files so with the desire to play as them i have resurrected this once lost and forgotten faction to a fully playable status.

This mod adds The Illyrians to Rome Total war, changes Thrace to it's original faction look during the games original development, tweaks the thracians unit roster by giving them levy pikemen and noble cavalry, makes various other small tweaks to the campaign map, and adds new menu graphics and other small tweaks for enjoyment. All features can be found below.

Features

    - Parthia has been replaced by the Illyrians to better represent the games original starting date.
    - Thrace has been given it's original faction colours and unit selection has been tweaked.
    - All original unlockable factions are playable from the start.
    - New win conditions
    - Seleucids now have Parthian territory.
    - New maps for the campaign faction selection screen
    - Text changes/additions to reflect faction modifications

That's pretty much everything. Enjoy!

Total War Mods - The Engineer's Shed / Vanilla Extended Mini Mod

« on: May 14, 2018, 07:56:16 PM »

Vanilla Extended Mod has been a little project i have been working on for a rather long (too long) time.  I have always enjoyed Vanilla Rome Total War and it's gameplay but have grown rather tired of replaying the same factions over and over again. Vanilla Extended rectifies this by adding 5 new factions and slightly tweaks and modifies some existing factions with a few new units and roster tweaks.  I am releasing this current build as i simply have no more free time to work on this mod anymore and feel that leaving all the assets i have currently worked on be dumped to the side lines would be a rather silly waste. So what does this version include?

List of Changes as followed
- The Romans are now a single faction with all family members combined. Includes complete retextured units and UI's
- The Brutti have been replaced with Epirus,  with skins and UI's
- The scipii have been replaced with Pergamum, with skins and UI's
- The Senate have been replaced with Bosporan Kingdom, with skins and UI's
- Parthia has been replaced with the Kingdom of atropatene, with skins and UI's
- Ptolemaic Kingdom has replaced Egypt with a slightly more believable unit roster.
- new map images  for the campaign faction selection screen
- New faction win conditions
-New units for some existing factions and tweaks too!!
and a lot more that i'm too tired to list off

Credits!
CG for letting me use his awesome Egyptian skins that would have otherwise caused me more headache and work and for creating THS which has inspired me and this mod greatly 
NGR mundus magnus for settlement refrences
Lanjane for his fantastic unit cards
And thanks to Jubal and the Exilian for giving this mod a little home!!

This will be the only release version of this mod at the time of writing. As stated previously i simply have no more spare time to work on it. The mod should be pretty crash free from testing (fingers crossed) as mod is basically just a heavily modded Vanilla. If any small bugs pop up i'll be sure to fix those when i can but any major work will not happen.
