I'm currently making a mod about ancient Greece, about it's wars with Persia and its eventual conquering by Rome. This will be mostly historically accurate, with some variations.
Factions:
1. Sparta
2.Athens
3.Greece (only on certain missions, might put in skirmish)
4.Persia
5.Rome

So far I have almost entirely coded Sparta, I just need to finish up the .bse file and add some units and structures, then I'll move on to Athens.
Right now the positions needed are:

1.Modeller/skinner
2.Animator/rigger
3.Mapper/Base Maker
4.Ideas
5.A name for the mod :blink:
6.A website
I will be the team leader and Coder.

If you want a position just reply to this thread or send me a pm. I would also like to see some of your work, because I want this mod to be done well.
All ideas and skills are welcome.

Thanks all :) .

Hmm...atm you have Sparta and Athens, AND then another 'Greek' faction. Carthage or Thrace would be good to place instead of one of these IMO.

IMO, the faction list should be:

Sparta - Best units in the game
Macedonia - More advanced phalangites with heavy cavalry, basically Alexander's army
Carthage - <<Insert what units Carthage are known for here>>
Rome - Disciplined legions, more versatile than hoplitai factions
Thrace - Barbaric infantry

This way you don't really have a faction that isn't unique (wherewas with your three greek factions the only differing things would be appearance and stats).

Name...Heirs of Achilles? Sons of Zeus? Punic wars? Persian Invasion?

Just a few ideas, although none of them really fit in with every faction.

To Dindi:
Well, it will sort of jump around to major battles like from the Pelloponesian War to Thermopalye, to the Greeks getting Conquered by Rome.

To Zimoo:
Yes you mentioned those in the other thread, and those are some great ideas, and I was going to do them, but I want to get these 4 "core" factions done and then work on those. Also, the "Greece" faction will only be available during certain missions like Thermopalye, where greek forces joined together to fight a common foe. I might add them as a skirmish faction, but I'm still deciding on that.
Names are good, but like you said they don't really fit what's in the mod.

I hope you aren't going in order there... Not to mention that the Greeks were pretty well down and out by the time Rom took them, seeing as they had both destroyed themselves and had already been conquered by Macedonia.

But anyway, sounds interesting, and it's a mod idea I've had kicking around my own head for quite some time (though I had it as just the Persian wars and only two factions). Unfortunately, I have absolutely no time to help you out. If you have any questions on the history itself, feel free to ask me (though I'm sure you'll be fine): I've been studying the Persian Wars for the past few years and have a decent grasp on the weapons, armor, and strategies used.

Best of luck!

The empire that you talked about was called Achaemenians that was destroyed. AND WE didn't have any empire that was called "Persian".Persian Empire is the name was used in 300 movie that was all lie and nonsense. Persian is the name for the people. just to remind that Persia is the name, that foreigners called our country before 1789(the time that we defeated freaking and crappy Arabs who defeated the Sassanian empire-the heirs of Achaemenians-and took the control of the whole country for many many years) after that because some parts of the country was invaded and taken by other enemies then the country was called Iran, the original name that all the Persian=Iranian people called it from 2500 years ago. This name is the other form of Aryans-aryanian(arianian)-the name of our race.
so whenever anyone told you that I'm Persian it means that I'm Iranian or in general all of the people who speak in Farsi=Persian is a Persian.
I hope you like it.

If you are persian then you can help with persia? what are persians born modders? :)

Yes I can help with ideas and informations
