===Factions===
 +
'''Main Campaign;''' The mod aims to bring historically accurate factions to the period in order to make it as realistic as possible with old factions being remodelled and new factions being created to ensure this is achieved. So far two factions have been announced;
 +
* Carthage: One of the main factions in the game, currently boasting a roster of 14 unique units.
 +
* Syracuse: Another faction of the game which currently has a roster of 10 units.

'''The Sicilian Wars;''' This mod will focus mainly on the city of Syracuse and the Greek faction that holds it at the start of the game however other factions that are present in Sicily at the time will feature heavily, currently the faction list is:
 +
* Reghion
 +
* Akragas
 +
* Syracuse
 +
* Sycels
 +
* Carthage
 +
* Chalcideans
 +
* Elymians
 +
* Hymera
 +
* Selinus
 +
===The Map===
 +
'''Main Campaign;''' The map for Punic: Total War is varied from that of the Vanilla game in the fact that it provides a more detailed look at the area directly surrounding the Mediterranean putting greater focus onto North Africa, Greece, Macedon, Spain, Italy and Western Europe whilst cutting most other areas.
  
  
A mod focused entirely on the Punic wars between Carthage, Rome & Greeks, from 485 BC to 146 BC.
+
'''The Sicilian Wars;''' This map will place a heavier focus on Sicily and the surrounding area providing a more detailed map of a much smaller area. The map itself will have 45 regions and contain 9 factions.
Consisting of 4 turns per year, using three different campaign maps and to be released in 3 Volumes:
