Rise of Hayasdan (ROH)

ROH is a roster expanding and reskinning mod for the faction of Armenia. Taking inspiration from EB and Classical Age as well as utilizing their research, all credit goes to them for their work. The initial version of this mod adds 8 new units to the roster, and reskins most of the shared units that Armenia has with changes unique to the faction. More units are to come as well as more reskinning. This mod aims to represent Armenia as authentically as possible, taking it through the 'what if' scenario of Armenia growing in power and attempting to restore the Persian empire, instead of Parthia. Expect the roster to expand further to reflect this, growing beyond what local forces the Hai Arkah (Armenian king) would have at his command, to what a new king of the persian empire would be able to field, drawing forces from Iran, the near east and anatolia.
All additions are meant to be balanced alongside the vanilla roster, so that they are relevant and useful but not overpowered. This also means my units will not be balanced for any mod you have that alters the stats of vanilla units(such as Radious), take that as you will.

This mod also requires the All Factions Playable mod in order to play as Armenia in both the campaign and custom battle. Credit is also due to Meneros, for his granted use of his leather linothoraxes.


Thank you and have fun! Please report any issues you might have in the comments below.

**Special Patch 14 Notice/Update**
It's been a long time but now that Rome 2 seems to be in a much much more steady place when it comes to patches I feel that I can go about updating all of my mods for stats and balancing with the confidence that the changes will stand a much longer period of time, if not indefinitely. Any plans I'd made for adding to or modifying my packs have been scrapped, but I will go over them all and check my data tables for problems and make necessary changes for balancing. After this is done I will immediately begin combining all of my unit packs into one super pack. This had originally been postponed so that I could finalize work on my changes to ACRE, but since such changes are discontinued I can combine them without worry.
Also, as I stated before in a comment, I consider all of my packs to be 'open source', or what ever you might call it for the sake of RTW2. Any and all modders may make what ever use they please of my work, integrate, modify, or what have you, I do not require recognition or permission. It's enough for me to know that people are having fun with what I've done. The only caveat to this is that some of my mods include work by other modders, to which you will need to provide credit.

Thank you all for following my work, and I hope you've enjoyed my unit packs.
