Anno Domini - a full mod from R8XFT

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Anno Domini

This is just a teaser....17 new or updated leaderheads for my new mod, due to be released at the end of next month.

 

[Colonel Kraken]

Well, sheesh, R8, what's it about?!

 

[RedAlert]

So... overwhelmed... with... happiness!!!

I recognize some of those leaders, but I'm wondering, who are the rest? I know they obviously aren't out yet, but I can't wait to find out which civs they all represent - and what's more, I can't wait 'till this is completed!

Edit: Seconding Colonel Kraken - What is this all about? (or is it a surprise?)

 

[Plotinus]

It's going to be funky! I'm looking forward to this mod - if it plays as well as it already looks it's going to be one not to miss.

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Well, sheesh, R8XFT, what's it about?!

There's four eras - Ancient times, Classical age, Rise of Rome and Anno Domini - it runs from 4000BC to 400AD and features 22 civilizations around at the time. I've used Fireaxis leaderheads for 5 of them and created the other 17.

Each civilization will have one unique unit, but there will be other "flavour" units - for example, with Iron Working, Rome will get the Legionary, the Picts will get the Gallic swordsman, the Nok will get the Lion Warrior and the Persians will get the Persian swordsman - but they will have exactly the same stats.

There's 90 techs spread over the four eras. The tech tree is done - if anyone can remind me how to save a screen from the game, I'll post all four eras.

[PrtSc] button, then zip to your paint programme and paste. Viola! or something.

 

[Mistfit]

Print screen - Open Paint - then hit Ctrl V - crop as necessary - save and upload.

Man that looks good. So that's what you've been up to lately. I think I'll be borrowing a couple of the leaders when you release them. Or should I say a couple more.

[Snorken]

This looks like fun!

 

[Goldflash]

I'm going to have to play this beast! Woooo!

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

I've not got all the buildings/units added yet, that's why the tech trees don't show much in the way of new stuff in the later eras.

Although there's the Fireaxis advisors on show here, rest assured, I'll be doing a full set of new advisors and popheads for the mod .

The civilizations are:

Mediterranean
Palmyra - Queen Zenobia - Agr, Exp
Minoa - King Minos - Agr, Sea
Troy - Prince Hector - Com, Ind
Rome - Emperor Trajan - Com, Mil
Macedonia - King Alexander - Com, Sci
Sparta - King Agis - Ind, Mil
Carthage - General Hannibal - Ind, Sea
Illyria - Queen Teuta - Mil, Sea
Delian League - King Pericles - Sea, Sci

Middle-East
Hittites - King Mursilis - Com, Exp
Assyria - King Ashurbanipal - Exp, Mil
Israel - General Joshua - Exp, Rel
Egypt - Queen Cleopatra - Ind, Rel
Babylon - King Hammurabi - Rel, Sci

India - King Porus - Com, Rel
Persia - King Xerxes - Ind, Sci

That sounds good to me...
I think you should change Hector's title from General to Prince...

 

[Lusikka755]

Looks really interesting! I'll be playing this for sure.

Any idea about what will the file size be for this giant? And BTW, are you doing a map for this or will this be random map mod?

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

@Psycho - Hector's title has been amended .

@Lusikka755 - It's a random map game. The download will be in two parts, the main game and the required flcs for the leaderheads. It should be around 150-180MB at a guess.

 

[tjedge1]

I hope it's a scenario map. If so how big you gonna have it?

oops cross posted. Oh well, I can always make a map myself after you release the mod.

150 MB altogether? Oh, I was preparing for at least twice that...
