[Mod] Project: Augustus - A Roman Realism Mod

[Tabris01]

This is what I've been thinking for unique Hellenic buildings. You'll get an event if you are Hellenic and you control the corresponding area. The unique churches in the Pentarch cities will be destroyed but Christians can restore them if they regain control of the areas.

Rome - Great Pantheon
Consta - Temple of Hecate
Athens - Acropolis Complex
Antioch - Two Sacred Colossi
Jerusalem - Temple of Jupiter
Alexandria - Pharos Lighthouse

I'm also going to add the House of Wisdom to Baghdad.

Olympia - Temple of Zeus/Jupiter
Delphi - Oracle and Temple of Apollon
Maybe also add the Artemision in Ephesos

Olympia and Delphi are too close to the holy site at Athens. I will be adding events dealing with the Oracle and possibly a decision to hold Olympic games. I will however add the Artimesion to Ephesus as you suggested.

Shouldn't Olympia or Delphi be way more important religiously than Athens though?

Second that, unlike the Parthenon and Erechteion, they were Pan-Hellenic holy sites, while the former two just were to the Polis of Athens

The Acropolis fits better than Delphi or Olympia. Remember that Hellenism also represents the Roman religion. The first holy site is Rome, and the rest are Athens, Mount Olympus (Which is represented as the nearby town of Edessa in-game), the Hellespont in Abydos (I may change this to Ephesus to represent the Artemesion) and Alexandria.

It's broken at the moment.

I try myself to make it work, I wrote an event so that it's triggered by Born in the Purple triat, it remove born_in_the_purple and add born_in_the_purple2. I work fine.

My recomendation:Rome,Delphi,Mount Olympus,Abydos and an optional choice. To the Romans,Athens was just a center of learning,it wasn't seen as holy. Delphi on the other hand truly was a holy site in the ancient world. Abydos should remain because that's where Troy is,and Troy is definitely sacred to the Romans because of the legend that they are descended from Trojan refugees. I can't think of any reason for Alexandria to exist apart from the fact that it is where Alexander the Great's mausoleum is,which doesn't make sense to be a holy site in game because his body disappeared--unless you are planning to make an event where you managed to 'find' Alexander the Great's mummified body.

Here's a bit of a sneak preview at what I've been working on recently. All formerly Roman areas will also have Latin names, and Afghanistan will be called Baktria for Greek characters. There will also be unique events for anyone who can restore Alexander's empire and two CBs to help you do it.

There's nothing quite like the sight of a growing empire: http://i.imgur.com/hijX1up.jpg

Just wanted to say great job with the mod. Taking a needed break from playing in preparation for the way of life patch. Only thing on my wish list would be more "roman themed" events when the empire is reformed but a lot of that could be done if there is a push to restore Hellenistic faith. My current empire is setting up for a huge series of wars against a Frankish "greater Germany". Once again thanks for an excellent mod and continued updates for the fans of the roman empire.

Was that a multiplayer game? Those empires are too pleasing to the eye to have been the ai's work.

In other news, the mod will be updated within the next few days. I have my own version working 100% with WoL, all that's left to do is add a twenty or so more events.

 

[bismarck41]

Ha, yes it is a multiplayer game. Looking forward to the update. Great work!

 

[omega20056]

Mod updated.

You may get blank event text at times, it's an error Paradox has yet to fix.

 

[omega20056]

A bug fix for the new version has been released.

And my strangely selective internet craps out when I try to get to mediafire.

Very cool! I am looking forward to getting a game started. Have you thought about that GitHub release yet?

Not yet. Maybe some time in the future.

Hi Omega,
thank you so much for your hard work on this. This is really fantastic.

I wanted to ask you if you have implemented the vassal tagmatae and recreated legions you talked about in this post: Link.
