Rome: Total War 1.5 |
Like playing Thrace? Tired of their lousy unit roster and even poorer temple selection? Well, this mod is for you then.
Thrace: The Serpent Reborn gives Thrace a much needed makeover. It adds several new units: Thracian Peltasts, Thracian Infantry, and Thracian Noble Cavalry. It also dramatically changes the old Bastarnae, and has a new skin for the Early General. It also removes the Falxmen to give Thrace and Dacia more unique feels.
TtSR also changes the Thracian temple lineup, removing the Ares Temple, and adding ones of Kotys (War), Bendis (Hunting), and Sabazios (Law). It also increases the happiness bonus granted by the Dionysos (Fun) temples.
There are new priest and priestess ancillaries to go along with these new temples. Likewise, there is a special legendary artifact included as well, which only Thracian Generals may possess.
A few other factions have received changes as well. Dacia has had its temple of Bendis changed into one of hunting to match that of Thrace. Also the early and late general skins of the other Greek factions have been changed.
Thrace: The Serpent Reborn is for RTW version 1.5, and uses mod:switch, so it will not alter any of your original game files.
TtSR is actually a very small part of Amazon: Total War, which can also be downloaded here at TWH: http://rtw.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=4362
It also has a dedicated forum here: http://rtw.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=t&fn=33&f=33,,0,100
So if you like The Serpent Reborn, check out ATW as well.
Now here are some pictures to look at while you wait for the download:

I like it, the Thracians are more well balanced and more fun to play with. I especially like the Noble Cavalry; bombarding Carthaginians with javelins then unleashing the rhompias on them was fun. Preferred the old bastarnae though.
Overall? Good work. |

I have given some thought about this mod and I realized that it does not do too much for the game. There are a few new units, and as I reflect, it would have been better to add a Noble Cavalry unit such as Barbarian Noble Cavalry rather than a Javelin Cavalry. The other unit is Thracian Infantry, which is very similar to Scutarii. I think it would be better to have it more of a general combat infantry, such as just a sword and shield infantry. Also, Thracian Peltasts are somewhat like Heavy Peltasts, so here I believe the solution could be more simple.
Overall you get +3 to +5 units and I feel that it would be better just to have in-game mercenaries to train in place of the new add-ons.
Anyways, good job on the creations. |
