The mod is still a work in progress and is very rough.

Updated images: (i'll update these again when the map is complete)
there are 2 more in the above post, the second is some of the units I have done(don't worry I'll fix those formations)

 

[Drtad]

Looking forward to it ocrap, but shouldn't this be in the Modpacks or scenario sections? And I have one question, how do you edit the main menu? And by the way, Tigranes is not a 6th century leader, he is a 1st century leader, if you want a 6th century leader for Armenia, you would want King Orontes.

 

[ohcrapitsnico]

Thanks for the tip on the Armenian leader, I'll change it. Though through my sources their were different Tigranes, and this Tigranes was good friends with Cyrus and even hunted with him. Actually this isn't completed and I haven't even posted a download yet so it doesn't go in their yet..

 

[ohcrapitsnico]

Here it is from Wikipedia:
"Xenophon mentions an Armenian king named Tigranes in his Cyropaedia. He was an ally of Cyrus the Great with whom he hunted. Tigranes paid tribute to Astyages. His elder son was also named Tigranes. Upon the outbreak of hostilities between Medes and Babylonians, Tigranes had renounced his treaty obligations to the Medes."
Actually I'll change the note saying that the leaders need to be from the time of Cyrus, not just 6th century bce.

 

[Saketh]

ohcrapitsnico, did you actually start working on this mod already? I'm interesting in helping you, but I don't want to make something that you already made.

 

[ohcrapitsnico]

Some work has been done but its far from finished. I'd like the help. I'm having trouble uploading the file to the internet. I'm hopeful I can get it up today.

 

[ohcrapitsnico]

I'm having trouble with 3d downloads. The things I have finished is the religions, the soundtrack, a basic version of the civs and their leaders, that's about it. I'm also having trouble extending the map east. It will let me extend it a couple squares but not 25 squares.

Edit: The file is up.

 

[Prestidigitator]

ohcrapitsnico, credits section perhaps ?

 

[Drtad]

I stand corrected ocrapitsnico. Tigranes Orontid was the Armenian King at that time, but you might want to put Tigranes Orontid instead of just Tigranes otherwise most people will mistake him for Tigranes II the Great Artaxiad.

 

[ohcrapitsnico]

Whoops, sorry I forgot to thank a couple of people . I meant to put that in but it slipped my mind. Tigranes Orontid it is.

What else do you need?

 

[ohcrapitsnico]

Well the downloads are done, the map is taken care of. Right now units graphics especially for like a babylonian archer, chariot, swordsman and such. Persian units like a chariot, swordsman, axeman. Any other units that could pertain to the subject are great. Also buildings if you can. I'll post a unit and building list soon.

 

[ohcrapitsnico]

Update: I'm currently finishing with the map, all I need to do is add resources and the like.I also updated the buildings and wonders part. The kingdom of vatsa has been removed due to space problems

It is my dream that I may add italy and west africa to the map someday, if anyone can help me with that, I would be most grateful since I have problems adding to the map and having more than 18 civs. Also I really need graphics for units and buildings(look above).

Any help and feedback is appreciated.

 

[Mrdie]

While I can't really help you, I'd just like to say good luck with the scenario.

When you finish it, I'll be sure to download it.

 

[Drtad]

This might be of some use to you.

 

[ohcrapitsnico]

Thanks. This will help a lot.
Now I just need 1 or 2 city names for the area around azerbaijan.
If you have anything you find that could be of use please post.

 

[Hell Hawk]

The game's not working for me. All of the maps except for "Copy (2) of Rise of Persia 1" are crashing Civ4 when the game starts to load, and the last map which does load, just has 16 or so cities in the lower left corner and nothing else.

 

[Drtad]

Sure, I found a nice map.
