wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) I was thinking of making a 300 Spartans mod if folks would like to help. Two versions, one compatible with Empires Ascendant and one for Delenda Est, Alpha 24. They'll use the same Spartan building set as the more realistic versions in the base game. We'll mostly replace the units with versions that look like they're from the films 300 and 300:Rise of an Empire. If we want to, we can do the same for the Athenians and Persians as well to make a well-rounded mod. GitHub repository (SVN compatible only; Alpha 24) https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/300 I want to gauge interest from fellow modders and artists before I proceed. I don't want to do this one alone, since I have hands full keeping DE up to date. It'll need textures, models (props and units), and animations (to mimic the kung fu-esque combat of the films). Preliminary ideas: Stats should exhibit extremes. For example, all Spartan units are trained at the elite or champion level, but are super expensive; all Persian units (except the Immortals Ninjas and heroes), only exist at Basic rank and are super cheap. The Athenians are in between these extremes.

Xerxes does not fight much, maybe he has low attack but a lot of health and serves as support for the ninjas ? Might be interesting to feature the war rhino (I think there is a Rhino in game, not sure if it has an attack). Athenians could have the weakest champion unit (They don't have the same awesome training as Spartans nor the dark magic of the persians).

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted May 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 It would be great to have a "berserk" feature in the game. The Persian War Rhino could have high health, but low Discipline factor so that it goes berserk and attacks everything soon after being sent into battle.

Carltonus Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 How about spearthrowing (in that slow motion scene)? Something like a re-modeled/textured Iphicrates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted May 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 New Terrain tests. To me, this clearly shows that the core game's terrains can be improved greatly, perhaps for Alpha 25 make that a big art push to update the terrains. https://cc0textures.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm glad you see the same potential for improvement I do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
