I was not going to release this civ as a single civ. However I do know it has been requested time and time again, so here we have it! I do not plan on adding either Alexander or his father Phillip II as leaders at any point, so please don't ask, they are out of the time period I wish to portray and I am happy with my selection of leader. Please no flaming about Alexander (I could care less whether people believe he was Macedonian, Greek, Illyrian, Thracian, Roman, Indian, Afgan, Celtic or whatever!) This is about the Ancient Makedonian Empire not the FYROM of today. One last thing, i am aware that I used Brennus' head, and he still look alot like him, however to all who say that Brennus is ill suited as a Hellenic leader please observe this:

It is a coin depicting Antigonus II Gonatas, clearly with long hair and flowing beard.:p

Well thats the end of my little tirade, please feel free to comment, download, rate. Please if you use this mod in your own mod remember me in your credits. :goodjob:

Modular Setup:
To run any of my modular files, you need to go into your BtS config file (My Docs/My Games/Beyond the Sword/Civ4Config.ini IIRC), and change
ModularLoading = 0
to
ModularLoading = 1
then install the file into your Beyond the Sword mods directory. The file is set up to run immediately so you dont need to create any folders. Then start up your game, go to advanced, then load a mod and select your mod. And it should work.

maybe swap his cape with ragnars to differentiate him a bit and maybe change the shape of the beard just to make look a bit different (maybe the nose too)

Cool, except the UU is overpowered ... I'd suggest giving it the 50% vs. Mounted Bonus without the extra strength increase.

Nice job though :)

You are right. I was considering doing exactly that. The only reason I didn't was pure laziness on my part.:blush: I REALLY wanted to get to my next unit!:lol: I'm working on him now, the head is completely custom as will be parts of his body, the general look ingame is amazing (now just need to rebone him to the right animations!:lol:).

Keep in mind that these guys cost as much as a Roman Praetorian, and in my test games I spammed these guys and was owned by axemen. Spearmen didnt stand a chance ( they rarely do against swordsmen) and they only had a moderate advantage against other Swordsmen. They may seem powerful, but they can be killed buy most late mellee units with relative ease, only archers and mounted units need worry.

Actually it is Makedoni. Being the Greek spelling for the group. If you didnt read the title let me tell you again the is an EBCIV for the Europa Barbarorum project, so the spelling is correct to what is should be for that mod.
