Making a random search in google, I found this

So, has anyone tried it, and if so, is it any good?

That aside, seeing it around gave me the idea that such a mod would be feasible (and maybe better than RTW): Remove religions and turn them into "cultures" instead, making them GrecoRoman, Eastern, Celtic, and Barbarian-lump group to everything else-, and dividing the game into... four periods, or so, following more or less the developments of Roman politics: Republic(punic wars)-leader, Consul, electorate as in vanilla HRE-, Dictatorship (regular dictatorship, Roman civil wars era), Principate(peak of the Roman Empire), and Tetrarchy (Political-economical decline). Factions: Rome, Carthage, Egypt, Parthia...

Well, it COULD be done... (not sure if this fits this forum, but hey, maybe it gives someone ideas)

There was a thread on this some time ago. Someone was going to do it, but I can't seem to remember who, nor find the thread.

Edit: Found it: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=79240

It seems to have foundered though... :thumbsdown:

Sorry I haven't been around...been busy. A mod like this is a large undertaking, and I should have been around more. It isn't too late, of course, for it to be continued.

EDIT: Oops, Caravel already posted the link.

The rome mods i can think of were the Patrician and Fall of Rome. Also another mod did look promising with some nice graphics but it never got a release. I can't for the life of me remember the guy's name though.
