The Early Rome Total War Mod. Official Preview.
https://img92.imageshack.us/img92/8892/idunno0wh7ey.png
Early Rome Total War (ERTW) is a modification about the beginning of Rome, before the Roman Empire and before the Roman Republic. It will concentrate on the Italian peninsula. This mod. will be for Barbarian Invasion v.1.6. ERTW will feature many new factions, the only factions you may be familiar with are the Romans, Carthaginians and the Gauls. For the mod. nearly every unit will be reskinned. A new campaign map of Italy is in development. As an added bonus, later on a new Prologue campaign may be included. Many of the buildings from BI will be modified and redesigned, with the inclusion of several new buildings as well. New historical events, battles and wonders will also occur throughout the course of the game, making the game more exciting and less monotonous. So without further ado, the Preview:

As stated earlier, the game will focus on the Italian Peninsula, although provinces are found on Sicily, Corsica, Africa and on the Illyrian coast as well.
This is a pic. of our most recent map update. Note that the provinces are not yet a finished job. More may be included.

The Faction List is as of yet incomplete, we are in the process of researching more historical factions to include. However, we do already have:
Latium (The Unified Romans)
Etruscans (Early Italians, aka Pre-Romans)
Samnites (Early Italians)
Volsci (Early Italians)
Liguria (Barbarian)
Boii (Barbarian)
Senones (Barbarian)
Pannonii (Barbarian)
Syracuse (Greek)
Carthago (African)
For the mod. we plan to utilize all of the available faction slots. So that means we have 11 slots still open. These slots will most likely be filled with atleast one or two Illyrian factions. Another slot will be Sicilian. Also another faction may be included on the African coast. Several of the remaining faction slots will be given to Greek factions; Most likely three in the heel and toe of Italy and one representing Syracuse and the Greek influence on Sicily.
This Preview is meant to give you members of the .Org forums an inside look of what is happening in the development of ERTW. So, to give you an idea of the talent we have working on skins, we have several pics. to show you that have been taken and slightly cropped and modified by our skinner, TotalWarFanatic.

Please note that not all of the work the team has accomplished is shown here. Much more work remains to be seen at our development forum, the link for that is found below here. At the site there remains to be seen: faction buttons for several factions, faction descriptions, more skins/screenshots by TWF, and many debates among the team members on options not yet announced as part of the mod.
If you are interested in this modification, would like to join up and help work on it, or if you just want to know where to look for updates on the mod. Check out our development forum found here in the ERTW Subforum (http://z3.invisionfree.com/Early_Romr_Total_War/index.php?act=SC&c=1). If you are interested in helping out with the mod. please post so using the link above at our forum
Thanks, The ERTW team.
