The "Hegemonia Team" proudly presents you :

HEGEMONIA - CITY STATES



https://img204.imageshack.us/img204/8906/hegemonialogo007qr.jpg (https://imageshack.us)




Hegemonia - City States focuses on Hellenic history before the hegemony of Thebes and Macedon.
We hope to create a realistic mod that will transfer you to the Golden Age of Hellenic Culture and Warfare.

The Hegemonia team welcomes the people who share the same enthusiasm to our development forum (http://s11.invisionfree.com/Hegemony_City_States/index.php?) where you can also add your help to our effort, given that you possess the skills and the time needed. You can also visit the new Hegemonia site (http://hegemonia.byethost4.com/?id=home).

The team thanks all the people who have assisted so far in various ways and also TWC, SCC, RTR Forums for offering us sub-forums. (and hopefully the ORG, if we are granted a sub-forum here in the near future... )

The concept of the project we are developing is as thrilling and as simple it can get for fans of Hellenic warfare !

Hegemonia Cities States is a mod on BI 1.6. The start date is 514 BC just before the armies of the Persian Empire cross the Hellespont Straits to march against Europe and the Thracians. There will be a big invasion force gathered available for the Persian faction from the very beginning. If we use any scripts (which is under discussion) then there will be 2 more such armies generating at 490 BC and 480 BC to simulate both of the Persian attempts to conquer the Greeks.

However the Persians are not the only threat. The Greek cities and colonies which are spread all around the campaign map (and beyond that of course) are locked in a constant struggle against each other, against civilized and uncivilized barbarians (barbarians originally meant non Greeks), against native populations who are often hostile towards Greek colonists and of course against their main competitors in navy and trade: the Phoenicians and their own flourishing colonies, most notably, the Carthaginians !
The Phoenicians may have played a role in the decision for a Persian invasion against Hellas, while the Greeks were preparing to face the superior Persian naval forces (in which Phoenician ships were the most important) in Salamis, the Carthaginians launched a huge attack against Sicily to destroy Hellenism in all its strongholds !

In the game we will most likely include some units from the Peloponnesian wars as well (like Greek peltasts, special marines and more use of cavalry) but we will mostly focus in warfare between heavily armed hoplites fighting in shield wall (maybe combined with an animation we will develop and an altered formation if it can be done) supported by missile auxilia troops. That means you will see many new models, some models that few people have seen before and generally many accurate and fascinating looking hoplites. Of course there will also be eastern types of troops, mounted units where they existed, savage warriors in areas inhabited by wild and uncultured people as well as Carthaginian and Etruscan troops in the western Mediterranean.

For the units you can forget about using vanilla models! We are using our own models for most units we create and the result is realistic and impressive.The victory conditions will include for most Greek cities and Greek-related kingdoms of Hellenic origin to capture one or more special provinces like Olympia, Delphi and Dodona (amongst with other conditions too of course). Non-hellenic factions will have other objectives.




The Factions:




Certain factions may need some explanation so that is clear why they were preferred instead of others and also to specify their starting provinces, which will be showed with each factions preview anyway.....

We had to choose from several independent Hellenic and Non-Hellenic factions and we think we had made the best selection possible so that we can play with the most attractive factions, which are:
--Divided as they are matched in the code--

The Map






The brand new map is under development.
The plan is to have as much as about 190 provinces if everything proves to work fine.

This is the area which covers our map and the aimed province setup.




https://img475.imageshack.us/img475/5058/mapregions8hg4fu.gif





The initial intention was to expand the AoH map which Laridus developed to west, east and north towards Carthage, Phoenicia and more Illyrian/Thracian regions.
Due to game limitations Phoenicia cannot be included so in east it includes as far as Cyprus (we naturally preferred the Carthaginian regions of Africa instead of Phoenicia)
Uranos is in charge of the Hegemonia map and Laridus from the very start offered his previous work on the map.
There is not yet a complete playable version of the map just some WIP screenshots.
When we show screenshots do not rush to criticise possible little mistakes, because the map is in an early form...
The map will be very detailed and accurate in its final version - given that the suggested plan is accomplished.

This mod looks damn awesome! well done. As for it being BI, are you using the shield wall feature for your hoplites?

[Bar Kochba]

wow ne possible date

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, nice to hear you like our work...

to Ianofsmeg16
About the shield-wall, at the start we were going for it, but our developers stumbled on something else more suitable for the more aggressive hoplite style of fighting that we were interested in, the mod is covering the classical era, before any vanilla-type phalanx was around, but it's stiill under development so I can't really say anything more... about a release date, no date set yet....

Cheers from the whole team...:juggle2:

Looks fantastic! I'll definantly be giving this mod a go.

and a new faction preview is almost finished... and it's not a Greek faction BTW...:dizzy2:

Update:
Macedonian preview added to "mod discussion" section and links to the preview added to 1st post here...

[ozz]

Update:
Today, the "Boeotean League" (Thebes) and "The City of Croton" previews added to "mod discussion" section and more links to the previews added to 1st post here, also next preview is almost ready...

PS - About the Macedonian faction, please don't rush in to criticize the way the faction is presented here, the mod starts 2 centuries before Phillip II and Alexander the Great, so naturally the reformed Macedonian armies that everyone knows from the Hellenistic Ages didn't exist back then....

[ozz]

Well I couldn't resist adding some more screenshots I found of some WIP units from last November... Credits go to our skinner "Hades"...

Wow nice work guys. Map is looking good but still you could work on it.
For example move Etna to the east coast of Sicily.
I like scale of your map. You can put lots of details on it.
I hope you are using some program like Googleearth to help you get all the details right. Good luck.

[Antagonist]

Glad to see that this mod is doing so well. Some very-nice looking artwork there, and I've really enjoyed your faction previews.

I like the signature art too, particularly the main one.

Keep up the good work. :2thumbsup:

Any comments appreciated, as always...

PS - The appearance of many of these units may have changed since November...

[BelgradeWar]

Nice to see the first non-Greek units...keep it up!

[ozz]

Yes, so many hoplites... we do need something different for a change... the good news is that the Etruscan preview is up next, and there are many non-Greek factions following...

:horn:

[tutankamon]

with your curent standart in mind I personally find it hard to wait for your mod to be released.. sure you don't know when you plan to be finished?

[tutankamon]

And as I have said before I'm totally :jawdrop: by the beutifully detailed work you have done... just a thought have done any cavalery units yet??

[spirit_of_rob]

We dont have a released date planned yet as we think it is better to simply work as fast as we can rather than make a deadline and miss it which im sure would result in all hell breaking loose from the fans of our mod hehe.

If u mean persian Cavalry the units are planned but still in the very early stages of been made full answer in the other place u asked this *giggles*

[Samurai Waki]

Absolutely stunning Ozz, your team is amazing, and your skinners/modellers are excellent.

thanks from the whole team everyone,

Nice to see the first non-Greek units...keep it up!

These are certainly far from the first... but I suppose we haven't released any official previews yet for fully non Greeks. We'll fix that in the next few days: Etruscan then Thracian previews are upcoming.

As for whether or not we have done any cavalry, yes we have, a few have appeared in our previews so far.

Awsome persian units! maybe you guys could figure out trireme warefare and have sea battles :2thumbsup:

Once again, comments are always welcome...
:2thumbsup:

[snevets]

The thing about sea-battles is that the makers of the game really, really, really, didn't want us to make them, because its their ace in the hole for a later expansion or sequel. If they announced sea-battles for their upcoming sanitation workers total war, everyone would buy it, despite the incredibly discouraging title just because sea battles are what everyone is waiting for. Point is, one day CA will make a game with sea-battles... until then we'll just be fighting on land.

Etruscans for you today guys...

New unit added to Macedonian preview, we decided to add them based on a lack of quality line infantry for the faction and recent archaeological findings which uncovered proto-hoplite equipment in Macedonia at this time period.

@Ozz, i've heard about it, you need a basic coder for implanting units, right?
Well, i'm no good at it (as i was lazy and used little programs like "Caligula").
But if i ever happened to find someone who is able to do anything for the mod, i'll inform you.

Keep up the good work.:2thumbsup:

Oh, sweet monkeys, I love those Thebans. Very nice ozz, truly wonderful. Can't wait.

Tespians aren't Thebans. In fact, they were enemies of Thebes for quite some time.

[ozz]

Tespians aren't Thebans. In fact, they were enemies of Thebes for quite some time.

Hi Tiberius, you are correct, but we never said Thespians were Thebans, if you read the faction intro in the Boeotian League (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=61320) preview posted, the Thespians and Plataeans were allies of Sparta & Athens, and more than often enemies of Thebes.

We decided to include the Thespians in the Boeotian League because of the limited number of factions available and the dominant city in Boeotia was definitely Thebes...

Hope that helps...

[apostate]

the thespians indeed were enemies of the thebans from time to time, but they were not traditional allies of athens
...actually those became the poor neighbour boiotian city of Plataia which after the spartans denied to be their protectors and patrons from thebes, they asked the athenians who accepted the invitation

....however as we said, the factions name is "boiotian league" not "thebes"
...it consists of the cities of boiotia and of course naturally controlled by the strongest city,thebes!

thats why after the persians withdrew from hellas, the boiotian league was ressolved in order to punish thebes who had willingly allied with the persians...

anyway a common characteristic of both Thespians and Plataians is their reknown bravery!

Thanks ozz.

[spirit_of_rob]

Nicely Thank You

Coding is advancing slowly but it is gettin there

phalanx is still causing a few problems as its a pain in the .... well you know where

Couple of Team members on holiday or absent for another reason atm

Ellysian Warrior and Snevets have done a bit of work on officer models recently

Im going through the textures in the team build to see any that need major alterations, minor fixes etc

Striker and Dagger and uranos have been fiddling with the code (i dont understand coding so couldnt tell exactly what they've been upto)

[Mithradates]

Nice to see some feed back its been a bit quiet here recently.

[spirit_of_rob]

Well we are mostly based at our own forums so we only tend to post major news in this kind of forum just to raise awareness :)

[iberus_generalis]

i've got a question about some possible units, i've seen this corinthian helmet in a history friend of mine and i loved it at first sight...is there any unit in this mod with a similar shield? i loved cuz i was so diferent from the other opened ones, this one looks like a bucket..strange but atractive at the same time..

Man I've checking this mods progress for the past 4 months and I am waiting ever paitently.... Don't rush it guys, its better to wait and have an AWESOME product.

Just one question:
-Are there going to be Itialic Tribes besides the Etruscans? Like the Samnites for example.

I see the map covers a good part of central Italy, thats why I wondered.

[spirit_of_rob]

faction space is limited so the Etruscans are the only Italic Tribe faction but others will be present as Rebels, if you are worried campaigns in italy may be dull bear in mind Croton and Taras are in the South Syracuse and Carthage are on Sicily. Plus the prescense of Gallic units in the north should keep it fun :)

[ozz]

As we get further with this mod we have less time to donate to things such as a complete faction previews but we are well aware that people like to see that we are both making progress and also they like to see pictures of units. With this in mind we have decided to move to the warriors from indepedant cities of which we will release a new one every week with some extras inserted from time to time.

These warriors will be recruitable by factions who hold the correct city and have the appropriate structures.

Independant City Units preview updated with hoplites from the cities/colonies of Akragas and Rhegion in Magna Graecia. The preview can be found here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=69906).

[Rex_Pelasgorum]

It would have been nice to expand a little bit to the north and have the greek colonies from Scythia Minor in the game... Callatis, Tomis and Histria, and also the Getae... they had a very complex diplomaticall/military relation ~:)

Looking forward to download ~:)

Yes, I agree it would have been very nice, an expanded map to the east towards the Phoenecian coast also would have been nice but if I remember correctly, it was the map water/land mass ratio limit that wouldn't allow us to have a bigger map. The area we're focusing on already has too many large bodies of water as it is.

I think the island of Crete was also moved a few pixels to the north because of this, but don't tell anyone, it's a secret.... :yes:

Update - 2 new units added to the Independant Cities Unit preview. Hoplites from Maroneia and the island of Naxos.

[Kierkegaard]

i really like this mod, so when will you release it or even the first public beta? any estimate release date? can't wait to play it!!

[spirit_of_rob]

standard answer,

when it is ready there is no point releasing it until the game at least resembles what it will be like in more than just graphics.

So here we are :)

The Ionian Leagues forces sail to one of the isles of the Aegean (Naxos) The forces are composed mostly of troops from the city of Samos and is led by a strategos of this city.

Battle at Mytilene


Having taken naxos into the league the leaders of the Ionian League decide that Mytilene must be taken and her power added to theirs to have any chance against the Persian Barbarians, although for the moment the truce between them and the King of Persia holds, they know that the Persian desires will soon bring them into conflict, and thus a force composed of troops from the isle of Chios is dispatched.

The small garrison in Mytilene tries to hold the centre street so re-enforcements from the surroundings can reach the city in time

https://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r222/_SoR__album/th_beta1-1.jpg (https://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r222/_SoR__album/beta1-1.jpg)

Will this be out soon????????~:yin-yang: :jawdrop: ~:yin-yang:

[spirit_of_rob]

depends on your definition of soon, it will be out as soon as we are able to get most of what we want ingame. as you can see graphics wise we are getting along quite well scripts and things like that are not as far along. Rest assured when we have a date we will certainly let people know.

[rorarii]

Excellent work guys ... but .. M2TW is now the new standard . is this portable?

I wouldn't do too many scripts, EB runs like a dog on my machine because it's scripted to death. start - slow down - start - low down etc etc.

If you port, you probably won't need as many scripts.

This mod is TOOOO EXCELLENT to be left behind. :egypt:

Basically we want to release Heg on BI 1.6 as planned.
I haven't even tried M2TW yet, so I don't know if we can easily port Hegemonia from BI to M2TW. If it's not too much work maybe we'll consider giving it a try...

[Fate]

Guys, this looks simply amazing, i really CANNOT wait for this unique and top notch looking mod!!
All the best guys, and i look forward to a release!!

[snevets]

Thanks, we look forward to delivering it to you.

Things are going faster now, as the mod has 3 new members, but still no release date. When a stable and modfoldered version is ready, Hegemonia will be released as an open beta.
