Expanded Factions mod

**antiochus epiphanes** · 06-30-2008, 02:41

this is a project ive started on, Expanded factions mod.
my plan is to have three diffrent mini mods, each with a new faction replacing a regular EB faction.
for instance, id like the first one to be to change Saba into the Massylians, or more commonly known as the numidians. the reason why is cause its the least work id have to do compared to the other two id like to do( in the future, id like to have Casse replaced with the Illyrians, and Bactria replaced by Pergamum)
Numidian faction symbol orignally made for EB. I cant remember whom made it, but i want to say dux corvanus did, id like to know though:

i hope to reskin a couple of units and maybe add some in, but if anyone is interested in helping me heres how:
someone who knows EB code better then the back of thier hand.
a historian or two who knows about Massylia.
and someone who can help with traits.

i will continually update this page to show my progress, and maybe new units as well, but keep in mind it might take awhile since im no expert in this

thoughts and/or questions welcome.

only if you want to dispose of a faction (they used all 21 factions). its hardcoded how many factions you can have.

Looks nice, I'm currently working on something similar myself, albeit a bit more dramatic and somewhat ahistorical, this is what I've done so far:

I wouldn't say I know the EB code like the back of my hand, however I know enough to get what's shown above done so hopefully that'll do, if I can be of any help let me know

By the way would you consider doing a version with all three changes in place? None of the factions you've chosen tend to have much impact on my campaigns so would be nice to have the Med a bit more crowded

Cheers

yes thats my plan, to have it eventually with all three of them in at the same time.
my main hurdle right now, is the DMB and historical names and traits.

i see you have changed a couple of factions around, so which ones are they?

Awesome start mate, I look forward to seeing this project develop :D

As for my project, the factions shown as changed in the screeny are (names are seriously WIP

):
Lusotanna (CeltIberians)
Arverni (Gallic Alliance)
Aedui (Boii Federation)
Dacia (Thrace)
Casse (Belgae)

I'm planning on changing all factions though, I haven't started on them just yet but I'm looking forward to creating my BosporoScythian Kingdom (KH) and Parthian Empire (Pahlav but starts settled with reforms buildings etc).

To stop me hijacking you're thread anymore, is this something other people would be interested in? Because I was going to post up a thread about it anyway, its for my own use atm but if enough people show interest I wouldn't mind tidying it up a bit and releasing on here...

Anyway as I said awesome progress on your mod so far, check your inbox have replied to your PM ;)

Cheers
