The Iliad Total War: The REAL Troy
Hello! I am the designer and skinner of one of the newest mods to hit the street. The Iliad Total War gives you the chance to relive the classic Trojan War as depicted in the Iliad. As of now, this community is somewhat small, but we grow every day. Our mod will be taking a revolutionary approach to the world of modding. With over ten different factions, many new units and an entirely new campaign map, who wouldn’t be excited?
The first major idea we decided upon was hero units. Heroes will be much like a general unit except for the fact that only one may be recruited at a time (in campaign mode you will get them like normal but they will have a different use). These heroes, especially legends like Achilles may have very small unit sizes. However, don’t let that deter you as these units are extremely tough and may even be unbreakable!
In Custom Battles or Multiplayer, only main heroes will be available such as Agamemnon etc. The next problem that confronted our team was this: how can we take all of the Greeks and make them into an army that was powerful yet balanced at the same time? The answer turned out to be splitting them up. Now you can pit Ithaca against Sparta or Pylos. See the mighty Agamemnon declare war on his brother Menelaus.
Though they are all Greeks, all of the factions will be distinctly unique and powerful in their own right. There will be many new units, in fact, most factions will have to be made from scratch anyway. This mod will have historically correct skins and cities. It’s something you DON’T want to miss.
Just a sneak peak at some of the factions:
Troy/People of Ilium/Trojans
Mycenae
Sparta
Nestor, Ajax and Pylos
Achilles and his Mymidons
Ithaca and Odysseus
Northern Barbarians (tribes)
Thrace
Amazonian Warriors
Men of Argos and Diomedes
Hittites
Minoans
Many more to come
So bookmark this page right away for breathtaking screenshots, thrilling new music and a war that will make you feel like you were there witnessing it. This is The Iliad: Total War, The Real Trojan War.
Timeline: begins in the 1000BCs and continues until you have conquered all of the civilized world!
Conflicts: The Trojan War
Summary: As indicated by the title, the mod takes place in the time of the Trojan war and continues until all of Greece and the surrounding lands are under you control! The campaign map will be an enlarged map of Greece plus Thrace, the Amazons, Troy and an area which is home to the Northern Barbarian Tribes.
