-EOM 4 Carthaginian Governors Edition + Latest Additions Last Updated: 24.08.2010





after the hours of planning and coding etc.
I finally shaped my next version.

I decreased the legion numbers to 35.
The Legates were triggered to get in a a certain city.
to trigger offices you have to conquer 50 settlements.
all of the legion descriptions were rewritten.
Although I could not adapt, namely I could not open cas files but thanks to fraps I added RS legion images for my ancillary.
I am currently testing my last version, codes are OK, but to test Romani I have to cheat and get 50 cities at once :-)

Version 2.1b is the adaptation of V.T. Marvin who used 25 legions with the system of 1 legion for 3 provinces. Also he made some changes with affect. If you need other info you can PM him or ask him here.

This mode is an improvement of my first mod "Parthian Satrapies" which added offices for Pahlava.
Under the current support of the members; I improved my mod so as to add more offices for each Faction.

Excluded factions:

Kart-Hadast: not enough info and support to add this faction at the moment.

Barbarian Factions: not enough info and support to add these factions at the moment.

Known Limitations :

Because of previous tests showed some funny errors with previous saved games: Sorry guys, not save game compatible

This screen is taken from one campaign that I did not restart a new one after I changed the files.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

As you see titles are given to other factions, so if it does not matter you, you can continue your save games, if not start a new campaign.

-I have adapted my mod for city mod as well, I reduced the proconsular palace trigger with governors palace trigger, namely if you build cities it will be enough to get the offices.

- I will use original title if I can find, if not I will use English title, so wish me good luck to find a linguist other than me.

Information of Current Version 4.0:

I have added 6 governors for Carthage and fixed some bugs in my V : 3 and I changed my code to get my ancillaries easier. Also I have prepared this version as installation exe so you just click next and authomatically installs my mod.

Achaemenid Satrapies Edition just allows Pahlava to get Historical Achaemenid Satrapies that is stated in the Behistun Inscription and except Pahlava it has no other change on EOM V3.

Here is the satrapies that is stated in the Behistun Inscription:

Note: In wiki there are 22 of them one is missing I added Skudra (Thrace) and changed the satrapy of Yauna into Satrapy of Karia (That would be more logical)

* I am Darius [Dâryavuš], the great king, king of kings, the king of Persia [Pârsa], the king of countries, the son of Hystaspes, the grandson of Arsames, the Achaemenid.

* (2) King Darius says: My father is Hystaspes [Vištâspa]; the father of Hystaspes was Arsames [Aršâma]; the father of Arsames was Ariaramnes [Ariyâramna]; the father of Ariaramnes was Teispes [Cišpiš]; the father of Teispes was Achaemenes [Haxâmaniš].

* (3) King Darius says: That is why we are called Achaemenids; from antiquity we have been noble; from antiquity has our dynasty been royal.

* (4) King Darius says: Eight of my dynasty were kings before me; I am the ninth. Nine in succession we have been kings.

* (5) King Darius says: By the grace of Ahuramazda am I king; Ahuramazda has granted me the kingdom.

* (6) King Darius says: These are the countries which are subject unto me, and by the grace of Ahuramazda I became king of them: Persia [Pârsa], Elam [Ûvja], Babylonia [Bâbiruš], Assyria [Ahurâ], Arabia [Arabâya], Egypt [Mudrâya], the countries by the Sea, Lydia [Sparda], the Greeks [Yauna], Media [Mâda], Armenia [Armina], Cappadocia [Katpatuka], Parthia [Parthava], Drangiana [Zraka], Aria [Haraiva], Chorasmia [Uvârazmîy], Bactria [Bâxtriš], Sogdia [Suguda], Gandara [Gadâra], Scythia [Saka], Sattagydia [Thataguš], Arachosia [Harauvatiš] and Maka [Maka]; twenty-three lands in all.

* (7) King Darius says: These are the countries which are subject to me; by the grace of Ahuramazda they became subject to me; they brought tribute unto me. Whatsoever commands have been laid on them by me, by night or by day, have been performed by them.

* (8) King Darius says: Within these lands, whosoever was a friend, him have I surely protected; whosoever was hostile, him have I utterly destroyed. By the grace of Ahuramazda these lands have conformed to my decrees; as it was commanded unto them by me, so was it done.

* (9) King Darius says: Ahuramazda has granted unto me this empire. Ahuramazda brought me help, until I gained this empire; by the grace of Ahuramazda do I hold this empire.

Pahlava: 22 local governors - satrapies + 4 Crown Offices: Eran Spahbeh(Commander-in-Chief), Êwênbed (the magus & judge of the empire), Hamârakara (Minister of Finance), Hazârbed (King's Bodyguard).

Compatiblity with other mods:

In theory my mod is compatible with all mods that did not change ancillary files. As far as I know no one tried to mod ancillaries before with EB

Here is the list of the tested mods by me or confirmed mods by the mod developers that I used them with my mod.

City Mod: Previously this mod unabled my triggers to get my ancillaries after I changed my codes to trigger with only cities not the large cities the problem was solved.
If you have my first mod (Parthian Satrapies that I developed this mod on it) please change it with this one because Parthian Satrapies mod still needs large city goverment building to get ancillaries.

Some trait changes (command stars & cursus honorum): Konny said he only modded traits so there is no compatibility problem between my mod and his mod.

Minimod pack of LZ3: I am using my mod on his mod and all the mods that he used in his pack is compatible with me I installed my mod on his pack. In phases, I installed RTW - BI - Alex - EB - Official Fixes of EB - LZ3's Minimod Pack for alex.exe - His adapted campaign script - and finally my mod

but you can install my mod on others also other mod on mine. Until another modder will try to mod ancillaries there will be no differences. like 2+2=4 4= 2+2

As I like alex for AI I am testing my mod on it. But with any exe you can play my mod. Because all of the game engines (exes) uses ancillaries
