And it occured to me that it would be interesting to create a RTW-like mod for MTW: VI. I am aware that there are some mods to do with the fall of Rome and the events surrounding the Diadochi, amongst other things. I would focus more on the rise of Rome (what RTW itself focused on, bar the expansions).

Not intending to be historically accurate; gameplay is more preferable to me.

Now, I'm no expert at modding though, and this would take an extensive amount of time to create because I have limited time on games.

Any advice, suggestions, hints, tips and other thoughts on this conept would be much appreciated. Any input can help.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I know that I also posted in the Alchemist's Lab, but that was before I realised this forum might be the better place to post about this idea. I edited that other topic and it can be deleted by a moderator. Not meaning to spam or anything. Sorry for any inconvenience.

EDIT 2: If a moderator could move this to the Main Hall, that would be much appreciated...this is more of an input thread, etc, and I'm probably not gonna get much attention here. I need all the help I can get. Thanks.
Great idea.

My suggestion would be to focus your mod on the Punic Wars between Carthage and Rome - 264 BC to 146 BC. Rome started off small, but by the end of the wars, it was a true superpower, and the rest is history.

The Fall of Rome Mod v3.1 has all the units you need. Plus, it has a new era-specific map and you could use one of the five campaigns it contains as a starting point.

You would only need a couple of new bifs for Carthage military units.
