Amazing expansion to a great classic
Very long awaited update. However it needs a bit more Dwarven love
The mod is outstanding due to its scale and playable factions. Though there are a few holes in such a huge mod.
I will talk about the positives first.
1.The building system-Its immersive and gives players more choices to build infrastructure.
2.Auxiliary system has been enhanced and variety is bigger than ever surpassing the original Extended Greek Mod and Cultures mod. I can even say that the game can easily rival RSII or EB on that field.
3.Map design-it looks beautiful and complete. I played as Gandahara once and immediately fell in love with how much personality their territory has.
4.Wonders and Wonder declarations-
You can build wonderful structures that you cant neccesarily see on the map or in the city but the effects of the buildings are unique and add so much to the already jam packed content.
Negatives
The mod has small bugs like unit sprites not being found or not rendering and the usual crashes after Great victories.
Parthia is still broken and with certain cavalry stats increased it makes them steamroll everyone faster.
Some models have been removed including my favorite Syracusan hoplites from the previous version. There might be others.
Do not let the negatives discourage you though as mod has so much to offer.
This could've been a 10 but seeing as to how the game lagged me a little. I find it strange that this mod is not as graphically demanding as TROY total war.
The Campaign plays slow and steady. The rosters and choice of tactics still vary but knowing where to position Chariots is also a tactic needed to be studied.
Same goodness with new flavor though there was one notable feature removed "random encounters" that changes the way you approach the game but overall With the new Armors and scenes being added and updates being made make the great mod even greater.
Especially the sound track where some music from Shogun total war was used that of which the original Gekokujo has not used.
The game can be extremely easy and hard at times but it just adds to thrill.
