Will Alexander's boyfriend be in it?

his boyfriend wth?!

Also i will be inventing new strategies for the units you will fight with.
Making usage of the Greek Units when it comes to a build and destruct scenario.
The cavalry units will be changed, Prodromos as the new heavy cavalry together with the cataphract. So the hippikon fades away.
The infantry will be hoplite, hypaspist and a changed myrmidon.
In the games you will be playing Zeus so you can get myrmidon.

And i'm still thinking about the Persian Immortals how to do those units, editting axeman or spearman? ..

Also when Alexander attacks the Levant in scenario 7 i'm going to do some things with the Phoenicians and ancient Jew Civilizations (Judea) and some other tribes that will fall for Alexander.

The Persians will show up with stats-editted-Chariots, those will use Melee combat. I'm figgering out how to do that either.

If anyone has nice ideas about units or for some of the battles, you are welcome! as long as the ideas are Possible to make!

I havent seen any alexander the great scenarios.

omg i spelled the title wrong :O -.-

Grammar Yeeby to the rescue .

Hope this project goes well, it sounds very intersting. *Awaits screenshots*

tyvm!!!

This will be cool. Most of AoM's non hoplite greek units were based on one's introduced by alexander. Go to the modding section and you'll be able to gt a lot of the stuff your looking for. Try Leto's ancient warriors pack .

i did, i really adore that modpack the most of all!

oh boy.. Mods >_. This looks great! Gl with it!

Also i'm changing some units their bonusses and will make a protox file with the changes, also i will add cataphract in the game.
I'm making Cataphract an anti cavalry and anti archery -cavalry unit.
The prodromos will be an anti infantry and anti archery -cavalry unit, his weakness lies in cavalry.
The hippikon will stay as it is, and will be the one that can defeat the prodromos the most easiliest, the cataphract his strength will be reduced but he will keep his armor. The prodromos his strength will be increased the most.

So it will be Prodromos vs Infantry & Archery vs cataphract + Hippikon
Hippikon vs Prodromos. That will make up new strategies.

Also at the first scenario your objective is to win a war vs northern Thracians, i found out with the Thracians how to fight Alexanders Cataphract, Prodromos and Hoplites to combine the Thracian Prodromos, Hippikon, Hoplite and Peltast.
When creating armies you really need to know what you are doing, what unit you will make, what bonusses and weakness they have. You will have to lead them yourself every single unit! or you might loose the battle :/
And because of that you will have to work with formations and fight with formations to survive.

And Alexanders myrmidons turned out to be pretty weak vs an hypaspist + peltast army. I'm more used that they are an overpowering force and were true to be royal guards. Ps my Myrmidons wear the egyptian axes xD

And i'm really trying to balance all the unit differences i'm planning to make so it gives a great challange in this scenario. Also i'm killing the population counters for the units. So you can turn up having big armies basically using a combination of prodromos, hoplites and toxotes.

Just a question Nick, is the campaign supposed to follow the exact history of Alexander (the ones in the history books) or are you going to put some "creative tweaks" to it?

It sounds great, can't wait for this seeing as I'm a fan of Alexander The Great.

I will be making real world strategy maps, they will have to look like how the places did in history, and i will also add strategic spots to them.

For the first scenario im making the Bosphorus: Alexander starting in european turkey together with his enemy the Thracians. And he will also have to face a local greek colonial alliance in north-west turkey that also control constantinople, and alexander will have to put up a diplomacy with them if he wants to cross over the aegean sea. So there also will be Greek colonies defending isles and the west shores of turkey. For example Hallicarnassus and Ephesus. But the siege of Hallicarnassus will come as third scenario. So you won't have to do kill everybody in the first game, because the first scenario has almost whole turkey.. and than you would have to do to many things in one game. It was a bit too big but ok.

But for example scenario 4, you will see a piece of the inland of turkey.
I went to turkey myself to once and it was abit the area were Darius and his army were fleeing so i got an exact idea of those 400 km's how the map will look xD Even on the highway seeing someone on a bicycle that almost got killed O.o Anyway i didn't even think of turkey having pine forest ^^ and some nice really beautiful look over points in the mountains. On that day we went to a place, they have water that can heal your wounds faster ..somehow some of my scratches was healing pretty fast that day O.o So i'll be making a mountain with those healing springs in the game to

-removed the full history of alexanders journeys of conquest because of spoiling the scenarios-


i'm watching the movie Alexander, and AAAAH he's gay!! O.o
u are right he has a friend Hefaiston, but he wont come in my campaign O.o

First thing before i loose it, If its historicaly his whole story, i suggest you start with the Muder of Philip II lol.orrrr......Maybe i could suggest, Constantinople came after Alexander, like..in the roman times, it was called Byzantium then(a town)

i know, but making greece would take a hell of a lot time :/ and i'm already making turkey and it looks awesome

It was called Byzantium in Greek times already, when the Romans fall the Byzantiums named their selves after it and named the city Constantinople.

I suggest you dont call it Turkey in the scenario because back then it was called Asia Minor

add elleis for persians and indians


also make Kastor his boyfriend (like in the movie )

It sounds alright, but what ever happened to the 50% completed rule?
