If some of you remember I have previously mentioned that I wanted to work on a MOD where all the factions are mythical to an extent, while not including mythical beasts. The intent is to be rational about it, like where did the Centaurs come from? Well isn't it likely that some Greeks saw horse archers from a people that more or less lived in the 'saddle'? And so on...
Not all the factions have to be from the same period, but in general we are talking about the period around 1200BC, in other words the period of the Trojan war.
It is still in the planning stage, so things might get added along the way.
In bold faction name: (cities, italic is change in name or added province/city)
[special units so far] All factions should also have more conventional units, but that can wait for now.
Greece: (Sparta, Corinth, Athens, Thermon, Larissa to Thebes, Lesbos
[Myrmidons] Swordsmen, Heavy, Very Hardy, Elite, big round shield
[Greek Heroes] Chariots, Javelins, Elite
[Nobles] Chariots, General, Javelins, Elite (the same unit as the Heroes)
[Sirens] Based on the screeching women, same effect
[Centaurs] Horse archers, short range (like slingers)
Troy: (Nicomedia to Troy, Byzantium, Pergamum, Sardis, Ancyra)
[Trojan Heroes] Chariots, Javelins, Elite (heavier than Greeks)

Phoenicia: (Sidon to Tyre, Salamis, Carthage to Kart Hadasht, Cyrene, Curduba to Gades)
[Phoenician Sailors] Archers, Fast
I have also got a few factions I haven't gotten set up properly.
The Celtica faction, which is more or less Gaul, just more eastern, to reflect they haven't made the entire trek westwards yet.
The Nibelungen faction, more or less Germania, but more eastern and southern.
And then there is the Emirates (Arabs).
I would love to get feedback on the ideas, and get ideas for the factions themselves. Especially the more regular units.
