The Hellenistic Era 0.1 (Extended Edition)
Jul 12, 2014 Full Version 4 commentsThis version is for those who have the Rise of Nations Extended Edition.
Kings and Conquerors: The Hellenistic Era
Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots mod | Released Jul 12, 2014
Kings and Conquerors: The Hellenistic Era is a total conversion modification for Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots.
Our aim is to bring the Hellenistic period to life.
- A set of highly unique factions.
- A huge number of new units with high quality textures, and most with custom models
- New unit types, such as priests, levies, mercenaries and elite units.
- Many new wonders and buildings. Nations will receive Unique Buildings in addition to Unique Units that provide a range of bonuses.
- A new political system with three tiers of policy decisions, providing strong bonuses and unlocking new units and buildings.
- Army reforms can be enacted to upgrade and unlock units.
- Combat mechanics overhauled. Ranged units may now miss their target, flanking damage has been drastically increased and units can no longer turn around instantly to counter an attack from behind.
- Increased population limit and map sizes; a number of maps have been altered to fit with the mod's Hellenistic period setting.
We can use the help of any experienced modders who are willing to make a contribution. We need modellers, animators and scripters especially. Please send a PM here if you are interested.
If you have any feedback or issues, please post in the mod forum here: Moddb.com

Latest News: The Hellenistic Era 0.1 Released!

Today, we are proud to announce the very first release of Kings and Conquerors: The Hellenistic Era! This version comes with two playable factions, the Romans and Macedonians, as well as a range of new features.
Rise of Nations
Rise of Nations Extended Edition
- Two playable factions, the Macedonians (replacing the Romans) and the Romans (replacing the Turks).
- A huge number of new units with high quality textures, and most with custom models
- New unit types, such as priests, levies, mercenaries and elite units.
- Many new buildings. Nations will receive Unique Buildings in addition to Unique Units that provide a range of bonuses.
- A new political system with three tiers of policy decisions, providing strong bonuses and unlocking new units and buildings.
- Army reforms can be enacted to upgrade and unlock units.
- Combat mechanics overhauled. Ranged units may now miss their target, flanking damage has been drastically increased and units can no longer turn around instantly to counter an attack from behind.
- Increased population limit and map sizes; a number of maps have been altered to fit with the mod's Hellenistic period setting.
- The following maps do not work with the Big Huge or Huge map sizes and will cause the game to crash:
- In order for the AI build orders to work, make sure that you list the human players before the AI players when setting up a quick battle, and make sure that you are using red as your player colour.
- Many of the scripted features have not been implemented, so you won't be able to spawn mobs from cities or convert enemy citizens into slaves for instance.
- Due to the custom script and the new models with higher polycounts, the mod will be more demanding on your computer. However if you have a decent computer then it shouldn't that noticeable.
- With the exception of the Trireme and Ballista, naval and siege warfare have not been touched on and probably won't be until after the first release yet due to heavy modelling and animation requirements.
- Atlantic Sea Power
- East Meets West
- Nile Delta
We hope you enjoy Kings and Conquerors: The Hellenistic Era! Please let us know if you come across any problems with this mod, and don't hesitate to give us any feedback you might have. I've also created a forum where you can post your thoughts: Moddb.com

With successful galley animations for Rise of Kings, the way is now clear for us to continue on Kings & Conquerors.
That's excellent news, well done!
Latest check - dogs are working for me. Please let me know if you need them. I will also redo the battering ram for you soon.
I might need Molossian dogs at some point, but I'll need to do some research first into their military usage. Also, thanks for your work on the battering ram, the mod really needs one.
Very well. Do you have any of my buildings, ie tgas for Rise of the Moderns or Age of Darkness? that damn virus wiped out almost all of my work but left what was on Dropbox and wikia alone.
Also make sure that you're using red as your player colour.
You were right. The player must have the RED colour.
I had been using BLUE. I'll try if it works and tell you later.
Oddly, this has just started happening to me after playing several battles. It's rather annoying considering how nothing seems to be stopping it.
I've tried recreating it, but I haven't had any luck so far. Could you please post a pic showing your quick battle setup? Also, are you using normal RoN or the Extended Edition?
