Megas Alexandros

[Roman_Man#3]

Some news, nothing special. For anyone thats interested, i have decided on some thing. We will release a beta version so you can try out the new units using the mundus magnus map. I have no idea when it will be finished, due to the very odd alexander files, and the fact i have to sort through quite a lot.

This looks like it could be a really great mod, good luck with it.

I have just bought Alexander to go with my RTW Gold edition which I've only had now for a couple of months. (MTW OLD BOY....until I got a new PC)

I was just wondering what changes to the game play you had in mind at this early stage? One thing I noticed is the 100 turn limit, in which to meet Alex's target. Having yet to get that far, does the game fully end after this point or can you play on, gaining no new points but working towards owning the whole map?

Thanks for your time.

It can be used a more turns per year script?

[Roman_Man#3]

In Alexander there are no "turns per year" to say. You have one hundred turns, no question about that. Concerning that, I am looking into whether it says how many turns in descr_strat or the victory conditions file.

In term of gameplay, I am going to balance it a bit more, make the units that were strong in real life strong in the game, unlike the vanilla hypaspists. Persia will become stronger, and the like. Once Alexander or his heir defeats the Persians and goes into India like real life, he can turn his attention to the Roman Republic or Carthage. Well, he will face the Roman Republic if they can survive Phyyrus' assault.


I am unsure whether the Mundus Magnus beta will work soon, so I might have to skip some of that.

Well, he will face the Roman Republic if they can survive Phyyrus' assault.

Pyrrhus invaded Itay after the death of Alexander the Great in 280BC. However, his uncle, Alexander of Molossis, did invade Italy at this time, and the war was directed primarily against the Samnites.

I mean if Alexander survives, he doesn't necessarily have to die. In the game, if he manages to have a child-well he had a boy with roxana but he didn't name him heir(if I remember correctly)-, The heir can attack rome and whatnot, and therfore rule the entire world. This will go so much farther than just alexander.

AVE. I have made a new campaign map using a smaller part of mundus magnus(hope the creater will not mind), and i am looking for someone who is knowledgable in both the cities of alexander's time and adept at mapmaking/interested in helping do the map_regions.

pm me if interested.
