Troy: Total War

Troy : Total War (TTW) is a mod for Rome Total War Barbarian Invasion based on the trojan war.

The mod was started during the late spring and early summer of 2005, although work on the mod didn't really start until late summer 2005. The beta of the mod was released in summer 2006 and has spawned several releases including the gold edition of the beta, two patches and a 'completed' version 4.0 . The final version (v4.0) was released at 12am GMT on Monday the 12th of February 2007 and is available for download.

The mod has had a difficult life with team members quitting, civil wars within the development team and sabotage attempts, but three key memebers (Zhuge_Liang, Zenith Darksea and Marcvs Trainvs) helped see the mod through to completion with sporadic help from other TWC members. Since release TTW has generated a small cult following even resulting in the creation of a fan site. The mod has enjoyed many thousands of downloads although an exact figure is not known. It is one of only a few Rome Total War mods to reach completion.

The mod leader is Zhuge_Liang at the Total War Center.

TTW was also the first mod to make successful use of video trailers making a total of three, each having great success in terms of popularity and downloads. The mod is now based in a subforum at the Total War Center which can be found here

Aristeia: Total War

Zhuge Liang and Zenith Darksea have since teamed-up again to produce a sequel to TTW based on M2TW: Kingdoms, of the name 'Aristeia: Total War', a reference to the extended battle scenes in the Homeric Iliad. The new mod is in the early stages of its development, and its official forums may be found here.
