"Ancient Empires." With the four CA campaigns as a base, this mod seeks to create the most accurate representation of the periods from 264 through to the creation of the Roman Empire that the game will allow. It will be a complete overhaul of the game from the campaign map to the battles. The following specific features are listed to give players an idea of what to expect, though they certainly do not cover the full scope of this project:

A complete re-balancing of the campaign to add strategic choice to every aspect possible. What this means is, no decision you make will be easy. There will be consequences, unlike in vanilla. Gone are the days where you click a magical button and receive mindless buffs.
This mod will aim for historical accuracy. By that, I mean I am not concerned with artificial concepts such as "balance" between factions. I am concerned with representing the factions in question as closely as possible within the confines of the game. Historical strengths and weaknesses will be present in order to provide a unique experience while playing as different cultures and factions.
I'll repeat this again - the game will strive to create unique experiences playing as each subculture and the key factions in the game as they existed historically.
This unit will prioritize gameplay over pretty units. I want to have pretty units, too, but that is not my specialty.
This mod will provide a re-balanced campaign dynamic that will attempt to create a superior, and more dangerous AI. The goal will be to force the player to actually think before they go to war. Things such as upkeep and cashflow will be addressed. The late game will not be the boring cakewalk it is in vanilla. And, war will not always be of the player's choosing.
For the basics of the framework, this mod will start in 264 BC with at the start of the First Punic War. It will attempt to make use of an expanded Sicily.

Campaign Map Mod Tools Petition

31 May, 2015 - ABH | 0 Comments

The Rise of Mordor team recently created a petition asking for CA to release full map editing tools for CA. Currently, TED (the map editor released by CA) does not allow for serious campaign changes like the addition of new regions or the redrawing of borders. It essentially just allows for aesthetic changes and the creation of battle maps.

This is an easy way for the community to show their support for modders. It takes a few seconds to sign, and it can't hurt to show CA how much people would like to see this addition.

Please take a few moments of your time to sign.
