Version 1.1 for Illyria Reborn. Featuring the Illyrians and a new look for the Thracians.
Illyria Reborn V1.1
The Illyrians were a group of tribes in antiquity, who inhabited part of the western Balkans and have dedicated themselves to sea-born piracy of the Adriatic trade routes. As a result, they rule over a kingdom that is beginning to draw the ire of powerful local forces, such as the Brutii and Macedonians. As the 3rd century BC begins the Illyrians have a fight ahead of them. They have strength and cunning that their neighbours lack; can they turn it to their advantage and bring first the Adriatic, and maybe the world, under their control?
Illyria Reborn is a mini mod for Rome total war 1.5. During Rome Total War's develpoment Illyria was originally a playable faction but was cut during the games closing stages with most of the assests instead being used for Thrace. Creative Assembly thankfully left refrences of Illyria behind in the game files so with the desire to play as them i have resurrected this once lost and forgotten faction to a fully playable status.
This mod adds The Illyrians to Rome Total war, changes Thrace to it's original faction look during the games original development, tweaks the thracians unit roster by giving them levy pikemen and noble cavalry, makes various other small tweaks to the campaign map, and adds new menu graphics and other small tweaks for enjoyment. All features can be found below.
Features
- Parthia has been replaced by the Illyrians to better represent the games original starting date.
- Thrace has been given it's original faction colours and unit selection has been tweaked.
- All original unlockable factions are playable from the start.
- New win conditions
- Seleucids now have Parthian territory.
- New maps for the campaign faction selection screen
- Text changes/additions to reflect faction modifications
That's pretty much everything. Enjoy!
