Hey I'm anelious phyros, and i'm part of the Wars of the Diadochi mod team. It's a mod for Rome - Total War focusing on the death of Alexander, and conflict between the Diadochi - which means successors in greek. I'm basically going to tell you all the info I can about are mod and the are progress. For this entry i'll give you all the important information about Wars of the Diadochi.
Wars of the Diadochi - like I said above it's focused on the conflicts between Alexander's generals for control of the great empire. Were making new, a amazing map, and differnt factions from your everyday Rome Total War. Wars of the Diadochi is going to be on of it's own. I mean it's not going to be vanilla based or like EB, but it will be completly customized by the team and will be a complete change from Rome Total War. I'm sorry I can't tell you much but when I know what information I can give out I will blog it here.

Hey,

I am challging all RTW players to do this. Pick a Army, and use the same extact army, all same extact 20 units (upgrades don't matter, make sure you use the same 20 units though) and win 250 games with it. Doesn't matter if you have 100 losses with it or if you go undeafeted, just get 250 wins, and I'll make a badge for you.

It's Not Impossible. I have a army 218 wins,136 losses (I stop because of my wrists), but I have all the replays/screenshots for them for proof, and I'm almost at 250 wins (32 more wins!).

I think it is fun and thrilling to pick one army like this, and be able to go 250 wins with it!

Anyone Up For it on RTW (PM me if you like to do it on a different game)?

CHAPTER 3. CAMPAIGN MAP

CHAPTER 0. THE BEGINNING

First thing to do when planning a mod: installation of game to run the mod and to be able to modify the original files. As M2TW is extraordinary huge, I didn’t want to have several installations. Fortunately there are people that explore and investigate this kind of things:

The method is to get another shortcut with a different configuration, that reads the modified files instead of the original ones. In this way we keep the vanilla version untouched.

Some years ago I was shocked by the discovery that commercial games are moddable. Since then, I’ve been changing lots of files, learning how to use tools developed by fans and also software for graphic design or other subjects.
In the forum of Iberia Total War (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=62) I started a thread devoted to a sort of “diary” of the development of the mod, and I was really surprised when I saw the success of such initiative.

Now, in a moment when ITW is nearly finished, I’m thinking in a new project: to port this mod to the M2TW engine, taking the advantages related to non-clonic units, spawned factions, continuous background scripts, etc.

I’m not sure if I will reach the final of this project, but it may result interesting to share with the fans of modding my progress (successful or not) in this project. This is the reason to start this blog.
