I like to help, but first:
1-is the mod to be historically accurate?
2-why is the "naked" guy NOT naked? (just kidding)
that's a nice mod-be looking forward to seeing it.

1. - It is to be historically based. Not "historically based" like 300, I like to keep it more on the reasonable side.
2. - lol
Appreciate your offer to help, but I'm afraid there isn't any extra work to do. :juggle2:
as long as the persian king isn't a naked guy with rings all over his face
any more updates?

Ok scratch the last post. I've buckled down and started working on it myself. Here is a pic of the peloponnese in its very early stage.

EDIT: Oh yea, I also ported it over to RTW!
Anyone still interested? :balloon2:
yeh:yes:
just downloaded the beta looks pretty good. good luck with the map.
Thanks tigger_t :2thumbsup:
It is all still in early stages of development. There are plenty of things that need touching up. I've also been brainstorming with ideas that include Macedonia...
This mod looks very interesting. The Peloponnese looks awesome. I can't say any more about how much i adore it. If you need any more help, i'll gladly take part.
What kind of modding do you do?Quote:

Two weekends of work. Progress, but still nowhere near being done.

Just a little note, Comrade: Megalopolis and Messene weren't established until the Theban-Spartan wars, which were well after the Peloponnesian and Persian wars.Quote:

As far as a tangible replacement for Megalopolis, I'd suggest Mycenae. Granted, you'll have to make some slight alterations to the positions of Argos and Corinth in order to make room.
But I'm only suggesting Mycenae ATM because 80 Mycenaean hoplites fought at Thermopylae with the Greek army in 480. But I'll see if I can find any other notable cities that match Megalopolis' position, though.
Anyway, I'll try to help out as much as I can on historical research (as this period is my specialty). Also, I know quite a bit about the weapons and equipment of the period, too, so feel free to PM me if you have any questions in that department. :beam:
I changed Messene to Ithome and Megaolopolis to Lycosura since it was in the same general area. I also changed Troezen to Hermione. Do you think this is ok Spartan198?
I would keep the settlement Troezen.
I agree with Darkvicer on keeping Troezen. Ithome is good, IMO, because it's a fairly major city. I'll have to do a bit of searching concerning Lycosura, though. I'll get back on that one.
Oh, and friends just call me Spartan. :2thumbsup:
Edit: Yeah, Lycosura's good.
A question: I can't seem to find anything on Pellene. What's its historical significance over a city in that general area such as Sikyon
Ok I will put Troezen back in her place. I chose Pellene because it is part of Achaea, who will just be rebels. There isn't much room for Sicyon which would belong to Corinth, and Corinth has herself and Ambracia. I believe this is all correct, I remember reading about it. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
edit: Or would Sicyon not belong to Corinth? What say you Spartan?
Okay, I see what you're saying.
I'm still working on putting together a list of important cities that aren't shown (for Greece as a whole, not just the Peloponnesus, which currently has enough, IMO).
If possible, could you put up screenshots of a couple more areas of the map, so I can see which cities you have and which you don't?
Also, can I add your Persian Invasion pic to my own signature? Help draw some attention and let people know PI is reborn.
Certainly, here is the link
