What a shame I wanted to play with Athens

I have been thinking about it, but I'm not very convinced for the moment. The Aegean region in Pharao has been squished, there are many settlements and factions missing (Argos, Salamina, Dardania Mysia, Dorians...). In addition, the anti-player bias in Pharaoh is unbalanced, playing with Agamemnon I have been declared war by Pylos, Arcadia and Thebes. The main point of this mod is to create 2 great coalitions that fight each other, and I don't think that this feeling can be reproduced in Pharaoh.

Please bring this mod to pharaoh dynasties

When you launch the game through Steam, the launcher window will pop up. Press the "Mod manager" button, there you can activate the mods you are subscribed to.

how do you download the mods i have them subscribed with all dlcs but when i open the game nothing changes

Los mods que desbloquean facciones no son compatibles entre sí.

cada vez que lo pongo con extended factions este mod se bloquea.

That makes sense. Strange I could start the campaign or select them in custom battles at all.

@Rubino303 I do not think that it is a bug, you probably do not own the Rhesus and Memnon DLC. Mysia is a Phrygian faction, so it uses Thracian units, if you do not own the DLC you will not be able to recruit units with this faction.

Mysia faction is broken. Unable to recruit units and heroes in campaign and custom battles :{

A must have mod. Thanks for this.

@Amulet of Kings Okay,tyvm
Is there a way to make units more expensive to reqruit with higher upkeep cost as well?

Unfortunately not, since Heroes of Troy and Radious mods both edit the startpos file.

hi,is this mod compatable with Radious ?

Great Mod, I've been looking for it for a long time. Thank you

@all The mod has been updated. I have unlocked the custom factions for multiplayer campaigns and fixed some minor issues.

so all that needs done, is just add those factions to that table, thats it, mind-blowing how easy it is, but took me so long to figure out.

Ok, I'll check it out and update the mod after I fix some other issues

i have verified, it is indeed faction_to_faction_groups_junctions_tables

amulet, so far i have ruled out anything outside the db section. currently, i am testing faction_to_faction_groups_junctions_tablesfaction_to_faction_groups_junctions_tables

Hi @dansmeah, sorry for not answering until now, I've been on vacation recently. I have looked into the multiplayer issue and I don't know how to add custom factions to the selection menu. I'll check the Agony mod, but if the relevant tables are inside the startpos file there is no way to tell how to unlock the multiplayer factions by simply reverse engineering. I'll try to reach out to the author and ask him about the issue.

amulet of kings, apparently the AGONY mod author has figured out how to add factions to mp, would you happen to know how he did it, if you look into his mod files?

I have made factions playable before, it was a lot of trial and error. If theres a way to open troy startpos.esf, i will likely make all factions playable in mp. I would very much like to play macedon in this time period.

Only the official factions are listed in the drop down menu for multiplayer campaign. It should be possible in theory since all factions would be available in the multiplayer campaign selection in rome 2 and attila. From what i learned over time, is that i believe that activating factions for multiplayer involves the startpos and checking some boxes in other tables. Making the faction playable at all is the biggest hurdle. Do you think you could do that, i would be willing to donate a good amount. If not, could you tell me how you edited the startpos? I havent been able to find anything on opening the startpos.esf in troy.

@dansmeah I have never tried to make a faction playable for coop, so I don't know if it is possible. Other Total War games such as Attila allow for coop campaigns with custom factions, so maybe there is a way to do it for Troy too. Both players need to load the same mods in the same order. Are the unlocked factions not available on the coop faction selection menu?

ive spent hours today trying to figure it out, i do have modding experience, but i just dont see a way. if you could provide an answer i would greatly appreciate it, even if the answer is that its not possible.

is it at all possible to get these factions for multiplayer coop campaign?

@Anax Heroes of Troy and Radious mods both edit the startpos file, so there is no way I can make this mod compatible with Radious. However, depending on the load order they might work together. If you load Heroes of Troy above Radious, many of Radious features might work. Just in case begin a new campaign and click on the end turn button a few times. If there are no crashes you can begin a new campaign with both mods.

can you make a radious version of this mod please?

@renetschultz The Pack File Manager (PFM) hasn't been updated in over a year. Nowadays, almost every modder uses the Rusted Pack File Manager (RPFM) instead, you should be able to open the mod with the RPFM.

I cant open this mod in pack file manager. Do you need something else with this one?

Machaon as king of Tricca. There is a Machaon in-game but he is the leader of Troizen and doesn't have the Homeric trait so I figure it is a different Machaon.

I think even if they aren't great heroes of this Epic Cycle, some faction like the Beotians should be represented

ha! I just kept pushing buttons until I found it. I'll give it a go right now. Thanks.

and there you go, I don't even know what you mean by "Enable the mod"

Besides subscribing to the mod you need to enable the mod in the game launcher. First lauch the game enabling only this mod to check that it is working. If not, unsubscribe the mod, subscribe again, enable the mod and try again.

actually, I can't get them to show up anywhere. the factions are not there for either custom battles or the campaign choices. I am probably doing something wrong - that is typical for me and my computer literacy!

ok, thanks for the response.

@rskemp Can you select the new factions in custom battles or is it the faction leaders who are missing? Unfortunately, with this mod you can't select the new faction leaders as generals in custom battles.

I have subscribed to this mod, but it will not show up in my custom battle games. I could easily have done something wrong, not clicked something I should have, opened a wrong file - any number of things (I am not very file savvy), any advice about adding the new heroes to my battles?

@Amulet of Kings maybe you can mix and match different pieces of other units? I think that's what they did for radious

Does this work for anyone playing on a MAC?

@71782 I'd love to give the faction leaders custom models and create custom units for the unlocked factions but unfortunately I'm not a 3D artist, so I don't think that I would be able to do it.

I would understand if you don't, given the huge workload that would be involved, but are there plans in the future to make unique models for the newly added faction leaders and/or to make new rosters?

@Amulet of Kings Thank you!!

@Tater I have just verified that the Danaan/Trojan Pillar event works both for vanilla and modded factions. I think that the event is determined by the faction strength (number of settlements), and not the turn number.

@all All known bugs have been fixed with the latest update. If anyone is interested, I have uploaded a Spanish translation submod for Heroes of Troy.

+amuleto de reyes porfas ya es compatible con UnitSize mod x2?

@Tater Thank you very much for the info! It could be Crative Assembly's fault, maybe it's a bug implemented with Troy's latest update. I also tried triggering the event in vanilla game and I couldn't figure out how to do so.

@Amulet of Kings I was the one who reported the Danaan/Trojan Pillar event not triggering. I tried running the game without mods, and the event still wasn't triggering. I'm almost certain the issue is on my end - Not your mod :). When I get a spare moment, I'll reinstall the game and test from scratch. Thanks for the update!

I have updated the mod to fix some bugs:

-Mysia's temples will no longer claim that they unlock priestess recruitment (factions of the Phrygian subculture can't recruit agents).
-Fixed the bug that prevented new factions from starting the mythic expedition quest.

Someone reported that the Daanan/Trojan Pillar events weren't triggering while using this mod. I couldn't verify that this is the case, so I would be glad if I received some additional feedback.
