Alexander Total War

I am not a modder myself. I have neither the software nor the knowledge. However, I just thought that EB's map and units could be used for a slightly different time frame, such as that of Alexander, and if there are any real modders out there who are interested I would be happy to compile the information for them. I have the most basic ideas put together already, though my sources are limited, and I wish to present what I have come up with. The year is 335 BC and Phillip II has just been assassinated leaving the young, 20 year old Alexander on the throne of Makedonia, ready to conquer the Persian Empire.

Sounds great if someone can do it!

A map far less focused on the west would make more sense. More of India and more provinces in the near east would be the way to go.

I eas thinking the same thing... Perhaps some of the north of the map axed as well?

Well you have to remember that Alexander did worry about the rising power of the city state of Rome upon his return to Babylon and realized he might have to deal with them. Also, upon his return from India he was approached by diplomats from Carthage, Libya and Gaul. So the west was a rising power that Alexander recognized and many of them either wanted to escape his notice or gain him as an ally to intimidate others.

I think this would be the perfect mod for EB eventually. Of course assuming that it's a good while after EB has officially been completed, including being ported and whatnot. But based on everything in the mod, and all the possibilities EB has developed, a mod such as this would be the next logical step.

More eastern areas would be great. Also, it'd be nice to start with Philip II as king; see if I can make Alexander worthwhile as heir, and possibly just assassinate Philip for kicks.
