Alexander Total War

Here are some maps:

The general map.

New factions:

Yellow (former Arverni): Italian Celts; status: for sure
Purple (former Pontos): Samnite; status: probably not
Blue (former Baktria): Italian Greeks; status: for sure
Seagreen (former Armenia): Thrakia; status: probably yes
Grey (fromer AS): Persia; status: definitly

Candidates for kick out:
Saka, due to Parthia's new position.
Sauromate, if Scythia will be in

light blue and light green show positions for further factions (there is at least one slot free, Ptolemaians; and certainly another for the Samnite):

India (any or all of the marked provinces)
Scythia
Bosphorian Greeks
Egyptian Rebells (no idea how they called themselves)
Numidia
Alpine Celts
Danube Celts
Baltics.

-------------------------------
Here are some homeland concepts for new factions:

Italian Celts

Persia

Syracusae

Thrakia

When you put it like that, Persia really is... really is big. It's hard to believe that anyone could have torn it to pieces.

The place where you put Pahlava is the place where Massagetaes lived.A name change for them would be great.Epirus should not have Illyria Hellenike province at this time.

Faction List:
Makedon
Persia
Getai
Thracia
Hellas/Sparta
Porus
Massagetai
Dahae
Sarmatia

Don't try to make a full conversion right away, just do a simple campaign that allows you to play as Alexander and make an empire like his, nothing more. If this succeeds, then keep going.

Makedon's unit list is wrong. No Thureoporoi, no pheraspides, and you only need one machimoi/pantodapoi phalangitai, no more.

Good luck with this,

Maybe you should use some reforms for Makedonia.After the reform they would be able recruit machimois/pantadapois and some greek-egyptian or greek-persian troops.At start they recruit levies deuterois and haplois as only.Pezhetairos,hypaspystes and hetairos for their elites.After the reform they get pheraspides and Basilekon Agemata(That ptolie elite unit).

My english is so bad....

Some ideas about persia.Persia should only have level 1 govs in Iran and Expansion gonverments in armenia and Iraq.Everything else should be allied states,because persians used the troops of they nations they conquered,and their factional troops all come from Iran.Oh and one question.Didin't egypt belong to persia in 360 bc?Correct me if Im wrong.

Egypt was in a state of revolt until 342 BC. The same would be the Kadusians south of the Caspian. Syria and Phoenicia did revolt against Artaxerxes III as well, but I haven't researched the exact dates/situation in the 360s.

That is the reason why I had placed "P 1" and "P 2" markers to some unit cards. I was thinking of two "Phalanx Reforms": the first to get Makedonian Phalanx at all (should be there for Makedonia from the start and available for example for Epiros and the Italian Greeks). The second to get the Successor army of the start of EB.

The Machimoi and Pantodapoi are concepts for Makedonian units on Persian territory (may be after another reform). Of course, nothing is definite so far.

The place where you put Pahlava is the place where Massagetaes lived.A name change for them would be great.

Thank you. The only map that I had showing the position of the Partians in that time has just a big arrow coming from the north and pointing into their later homelands.

Epirus should not have Illyria Hellenike province at this time.

ok.
