The Taxshashilan satrapy-a mod request

I will be the mapper.:2thumbsup:

Can also do asorted other tasks modding all .txt files and descriptions. I have often thought about doing just such a thing myself (I being no fan of the barbs) focusing on greece and the east. How much time I can give will have to be worked out, ATM I have very little going on IRL, but I am already a memeber of the Heg team, and that will have to remain my priority, also I have recently applied to join the eb team to work on the m2tw engine, and to cap it off have half promised to do a map for the Narnia mod. And all this without a computer to play RTW.:sweatdrop: However time will tell.


Also, I suggest we make this for BI.exe. (emergent factions for rome and yuehzi), plus I think it would be great if we could have the Ptolomaioi and selukidai have rebel factions. Also, I suggest we consider axing the Getai, maybe even the sarmatians (though we would have to think very carefuly before doing that)

I also propose the map should stretch form illiryia to the eastern most Mayuran province. Will post a map in a few mins.


Ohh, and I think we should centre the mod on the greeks in general, prehaps even consider changing the start date.

Ok, factions that I think should be included: (west to east)

Epiros
Makedonia
Koninon Hellon
Getai?
Galatians
Pontus
Ptolomaioi
Haisdan
Sarmatia?
Seleukidai
Saba
Pahalava
Baktria
Saka
Mayuran Empire
Tamils (seems to be shri lanka at the time, possbily also Dravidians, will need to do a lot more reasherch here)


Rome (ermergent, 230-40 bc?)
Yeuhzi(emergent, no idea)
Seleukidai rebels*
Ptolomaioi rebels*
Mayuran empire rebels?
KH rebels
*(note, I believe these can be tied together, if we decide this is a good thing, then maybe one could be replaced by Mayuran rebels or a realy good idea IMHO, KH rebels)

Other possible factions, if we decide to get rid of some of the above (in oreder of priority IMO)

A faction between the Seleukidai and the Mayurans
Kyrenacia
Anatolia (Pergamese)
A second KH faction
A northern arabian faction? Around modern day Oman?



I also think that we need formal permison from the EB team before we go any further, considering the very drastic nature of this mod.

I don't have BI, sorry :(

If you're going to axe the getai (although I'd say keep them....and perhaps lose one of the shadow factions)...

...and if you're going to change the start date, throw the Attalid's Pergamon in there for good measure...I'll do all of the research for correct fm's and such....I could also do that for a few other factions, as I also have extra time on my hands (slow season)....

I want's me some Attalids damnit...

EDIT: BTW I don't think the EB team would mind....people mod their mod all of the time, but, yeah....I suppose it would change the mod drastically.

XGM let someone make XGM Diadochi, and they even stickied it in their forums....although that team isn't as formal as the EB team....I dunno. :no:

Good to have you on board guys, this is going to require some MAJOR modding. :laugh4:

Pharnakes - Is it not possible to have emergents on 1.5 then?

Pretty sure it isn't. Though I may be wrong.


@bootsiuv: yes I agree,hence them appering in my list of alternatives:2thumbsup:


Touch wood guys, I think we have the go ahead from the eb team.

Touch wood? :inquisitive:

Do you mean knock on wood? LOL

Cuz I'd prefer to have nothing to do with the former... :laugh4:

EDIT: For the humerously challenged, that was a joke.

Have you never heard of touch wood before? it was a thing people did, especialy in the RN, before saying something that might tempt fate.

MAA said hes going to inform rest of the team,so pray to the eb gods guys.
