The ultimate challenge mod

[Maltz]

Hello:

Despite my very limited knowledge about modding, I just had an idea of creating some ultimate challeging campaign mod. This involves the following steps:

(1) Pick the worst military makeup faction
(2) Pick a really bad starting position
(3) Plant a blank (no trait) family member there, 0 unit, 0 denari. Probably a diplomat and a spy, perhaps one unit of peasant.
(4) Delete all other starting family members and units - give the original settlement to rebels or another faction.

And see how we can struggle to dominate the world. I believe the above steps are within my extremely little modding ability. If I have missed something please let me know. If you have any ideas of what faction to pick and what other conditions we should impose - please feel free to contribute below. Once the mod is complete (and tested) I will make it downloadable.

I just browsed through the unit guide and have a few candidates of the worst possible army makeup factions & locations:

(1) Brutii in Apollina

This is more like a joke. AI Brutii always love to take Apollina in turn 2. So we will assign Apoliina to Brutii, and that's all they have. Give Tarentum & Croton to Scipii & Julii. With one family member, one crap town and some peasants they have to defeat the mighty Greeks.

(2) Carthage in Sardinia or Palma

Origianal Carthage cities transferred to Scipii, Numidia & Iberia. I guess they will be wiped out by Julii in 5 turns...

(3) Greek cities in Hyperboria

A long, long phalanx march out of the swamp. Too bad - no amazon sisters. All former Greek lands belong to Macedon! The first great challenge would be Scythia. Horse archers will kill phalanx in their sleep.

(4) Numidia in Cirta

If I remember right is the real Numidian province. So we should restore some historical accuracy. Other Numidian towns are now in the hands of the rebels.

Which one would you prefer to play - or you got some other ideas?

The first mod is made and tested! It is fun and perfectly playable and winnable (I hope ) on VH/VH. For more detailed description please see:
