Ok, after a short grueling journey i have arrived at the final stage of the minimod!!
This is for RTW 1.3
This mod makes Thrace a viable, balanced and above all fun in the campaign. It does this by adding in three new units that i feel Thrace required:
Thracian Noble Cavalry: This is actually using a skin i found in the models_units/textures directory, a proper Barbarian Cavalry skin with Thracian Faction colours, as such it has the same stats as Dacian Noble Cavalry.
Thracian Nobles are added to the tier 3 stables
Getic Horse Archers: The Getae were origionally Thracian, Thrace also owns Campus Getae and comes into contact with Scythia, as such i feel they would have also been influenced by them as well as Dacia/Macedon.
Getic Horse Archers are added to the tier 3 stables
Levy Pikemen: What can i say? exactly the same as the Macedonian counterparts, the only differance is the skin
Levy Pikemen are recruitable at the tier 2 barracks
New Unit Cards and Unit Info cards have been added for all new units
Most of the new units have sprites, apart from Getic Horse Archers, cos they didnt want to work for some reason...so im using Falxman sprites, which look....intresting ~:eek:
Thrace Starts off with Byzantium as its capital city
Thraces Campaign Map (shown at faction selection) has been updated to include their new territory
Bastarnae now have a lower defence, improved attack, armour piercing and horde formation. I gave them this formation simply due to the fact they are a bunch of raving nutters with blue hair, can you really expect them to keep a formation??

To install the mod simply double click install.exe dont bother with the files called INSTALL.txt and installfull.jpg
If you want to install by hand then you can simply copy the files in the data folder to their relevant directories, this mod also includes back up's of all files changed! in case you want to revert back afterwards
I hope you all enjoy playing this as much as i did making it ~D
