As I threatened in the ATW forum, I have released my Thracian Makeover as a separate mod. TtSR gives Thrace a much-needed overhaul.
For starters,Thrace: The Serpent Reborn is for vanilla Rome Total War version 1.5. It uses mod:switch, so it will not alter your original game files.
Thrace has several new units, and old ones that have been changed:
Thracian Peltasts
Thracian Infantry
Bastarnae
Thracian Noble Cavalry
I have removed the generic Peltasts and Falxmen. The first was unnecessary, and the second was done to make Thrace more distinctive from Dacia.
Thrace's new military tree is this:
Infantry
Tier 1 - Militia Hoplites
Tier 2 - Thracian Infantry
Tier 3 - Phalanx Pikemen
Tier 4 - Bastarnae
Missiles
Tier 2 - Thracian Peltasts
Tier 3 - Archers
Tier 4 - Onagers
Cavalry
Tier 2 - Militia Cavalry
Tier 3 - Greek Cavalry
Tier 4 - Thracian Noble Cavalry
In addition, the Early General's Bodygyard is now a lance-armed version of the Noble Cavalry. Also included are mercenary and rebel versions of the Thracian Peltasts, Thracian Infantry, and Bastarnae (the latter being merc only).
Furthermore, Thrace now has a total of four temples:
Dionysos - God of Wine - temple_of_fun
Bendis - Goddess of Hunting - temple_of_hunting2
Kotys - War Goddess - temple_of_battle
Sabazios/Heros - Hero God - temple_of_justice
Dionysos stays the same, but has a higher happiness bonus. Ares is now replaced by Kotys, and has a much more significant bonus than before (an experience as well as morale bonus). Dacia also has this temple btw. Bendis has the same stats as the Artemis temple. Sabazios is your basic law temple.
Naturally, new temples mean new priest and priestess ancillaries to go with them. Also included is the Head of Orpheus legendary artifact from ATW.
A few other factions receive changes as well, due to the overlap of some of their code. Dacia's temple of Bendis is now one of hunting, as Thrace's. The other Greek factions now have new skins for their Early and Late Bodyguard units.
Enough yakking. Download ithere, and start carving up the opposition with a nice, shiny rhomphaia.
There are never enough hours in the days of a Queen, and her nights have too many.
