Amazon: Total War version 2.5 is now out! For the moment you can download it at Filefront. The BI version is here, and the RTW version is here.

Saves from previous versions are not compatible with 2.5.

Here is a list of changes:

Version 2.5 (BI)
  • Many bug fixes, including one of Amazonian Chariots causing a ctd.
  • Used Signifer One's Animation pack to change all hoplite and similar troops to overhand attacks, removed their secondary weapons, and gave them shield wall rather than phalanx formation. Also used the animation pack to implement new animations for all archers and horse archers.
  • Added Temple of Demeter to Amazonia and the Valkyrja.
  • Changed name of Neo Themiskyra to Vanahemir and moved it to a new location, adding a new territory to the old location and giving it to the Valkyrja.
  • Created separate EDU entries for the Valkyrja units, giving them all snow bonuses and sand penalties, as well as allowing for tweaking of the unit descriptions of both Valkyrja and Amazonian units.
  • Added Mercenary Amazon Axewomen and Rebel Militia Axewomen to northern steppe region.
  • Renamed internal name of Roman faction to Slavs, removing the Senate tab and allowing for emergent hordes.
  • Added new territory of Gautar to Scandinavia.
  • Made farms destroyable.
  • Renamed Porrolissum to Sarmizgetusa and moved it adjacent to the mountains.
