Description
This mod aims to give the Greek factions the same sort of depth that the Roman factions have in vanilla RTW, to improve historical accuracy, and to improve game-play. Many new units have been added to the Greek factions, and other factions, along with new buildings, character traits, night battles, named legions, loyalty, and much more. Combat with phalanx based armies has also been made much more challenging. The mod tries to stay close to the "look and feel" of vanilla (unmodified) Rome - Total War, so this mod should appeal to people who like vanilla RTW, but who want to play a more developed version of the Greek factions.
Factions
Most of the vanilla factions are preserved, though the Romans have been integrated into a single faction. The Scipii have become the Roman Rebels, and the Brutii, the Independent Greek Cities. There are 16 playable factions and four non-playable. New playable factions include Saba and Bactria.
