did you ever work on knossos?

Haven't played for ages either - was relieved that your mods are up-to-date. I tested it out a few times just now before I start a Massilia campaign and yeah, fairly close but the praetorians win every time with about 20-45 troops remaining, so yes seems it still holds. Nice work bud, cheers again.

Yeah, been a while, but spear infantry stats tend to be misleading when you end up against elite swords. My old tests should still hold, in theory (for vanilla).

My apologies then - didn't test, only looked at stats. I take it back. Also kudos on the extremely rapid response for a game you don't even play yourself anymore. Thanks very much for updating these mods of yours dude - best ones out there by far.

Not a single one of these units were a match for the pret guard in a 1v1, I took some pain at the time to get even the best swords, pergamon's, to lose.

Love your mods - but can't help but feel that some of the elite units are a little overpowered. For example the massilian honour guard is about 5-10 points better overall than Rome's elitest melee unit (Praetorian Guard).

All for balance but don't think anyone should have a stronger melee unit than Rome (except maybe Sparta).

Thanks for making time to work on this despite not playing anymore. Really appreciate the mod and the dedication.

== Updated for Desert patch ==

Warning: I haven't played R2 for years, can't check full functionality in campaign.
________________________________________________________________

Updated against the first CTD, but I don't have time to check full functionality.

I hate to say it, but I think your unit mods, which I love, are conflicting with the latest update. At least I've narrowed it down to your unit mods for my game so far. I don't know which one specifically, I'm still narrowing it down. I just saw your patreon post, so I'm even more hopeful of you fixing the problem, just letting you know there's a problem.

I just saw the latest DLC coming. Honestly I can't believe it, after almost two years of doing nothing, they are still going to release a new DLC and new patch to support the game. It is good, but I could only say, you people let us wait too long.
But, that also mean a lot of authors need to update their mods again....

Hello, thank your mods. Have you ever considered about make a pack which include all your unit mods?

YES! thank you so much for fixing that can now recruit them :)

Try now, I removed a redundant failsafe line.

on a side note the rest of your units show up just fine and i have most your other mods never had a problem with any of them it's just these hellenic legionaires

even on the barracks where it shows list of recruitable units the legionaires are not there i have the thorax but once the reform happens they dissapear and hellenic legionaires do not show up i can upgrade my current thorax into legionaires and you mod is the only mod im running tht even affects the thorax swords or egypt for that matter they are in custom battle just not in campagin

I did not answer at the time because I got distracted but the problem doesn't happen on my side. I played Egypt without that issue, and a pal of mine played seleucids twice and I think he'd have realized his melee infantry was missing and were not making up 60% of his forces. So I'm quite partial it's working per se.
If you have other mods up, I'd try disabling a few of them first. The latest changes I made on this mod didn't have anything to do with that reform, and I cannot promise I will be able to check if it's working or somehow not.

I'm playing egypt once again same as selucid CAN NOT RECRUIT HELLENIC LEGIONARIES I commented on this back in july and still no response and egypt does not have good swordsmen the thorax swords was their best sword unit this makes it to where i cant even recruit them anymore and cant recruit the legionaires either get rid of legionaries and give me back my thorax swords or make the legionaries recruitable cause they are not there i hate to have to get rid of a mod that is one of the best mods out there for navies just because it has no support any more

with selucid not sure bout the others once i get tech to retrain thorax into hellenic legionaries they can not be recruited and are not in the lvl 4 barracks

Can u make the hellenic legionaires have it's own mod? btw love ur mods

Yep! Mistaken them for a pergamenian unit and stuff happened, should be ok now. Thanks for the heads-up.

Just a small bug, Spartan Periokoi Swordsmen are not showing up on the battlefield. All the men are not being rendered.

Content from the separate Pergamon and Sardes mod was updated. Please do report glitches if something slipped.

Horses will disappear if you're using an outdated 1-turn recruitment mod. If you are, disable or delete it and the horses will reappear.

Guys, I have absolutely nothing to do with that. I don't touch the unit itself, I have no idea why it happens and I'm quite persuaded that it's a random bug in the game, as I've seen it happen with other vanilla unmodded units. If reloading the battle doesn't work, restart the game or even repair the installation.

Capadocian Cavaly haven't horse!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I don't know what sort of poltergeist happened, but the Rhodian Heavy Slingers - which were for some Gaben-known wizardry entirely removed from the pack - are back in the game.
I'll just quote from my comment on July: "The Rhodian Heavy Slingers represent a late choice to equip some regular slingers with thureos shields in order to acquire a quicker superiority during the skirmishing phase to clear the way for the phalanx or the heavy infantry anyway. They lose some mobility and rate of fire but they will make it up in resilience. Recruitable in Light IV and both military docks level IV on trihemiolias."

Enjoy before Gaben makes them disappear again.

From now on, I'm going to start calling Massalia Josephine!

This particular pack has nothing to do with buildings, you might want to try again in the assumed case you also had (and switched on/off) the bythinian pack. Please let me know if that worked.

Some other mods.I can't build mines when I used your mod,but I can build mines again only without using your mod.

Er, I don't know? Shouldn't be this mod's issue, I'll look into it asap. What other mods have you got active?

It's a awesome mod.But why can't I built mines when I played Macedon?Sorry for my poor English.

can the pergamon roman warriors cap be taken off

Yeah, too big a fan of the phalanx evidently... Not really historical, but it would fit into the "what if" category being as close to the great unwashed masses of Celtic Gaul! They could be a Greek-ish version of the Oathsworn as opposed to the Romanized Honor Guard units you already made. (Btw, I love that unit like it was my firstborn.)

Well, Agrianes (Epirus/Macedon) and Kartli Axemen (Colchis).
Other than them, I just don't think IIIrd century greeks liked axes.

Massalian elite axe/mace unit? I just noticed that there's not a single Greek axe unit of any real note in the vanilla game and everyone seems to be a fan of swords and spears. Perhaps the Gaulic/Greeks could use a little more heavy handed weapons to punch holes in their Roman neighbors? =)

Say Hi to a new unit for Rhodes. The Rhodian Heavy Slingers represent a late choice to equip some regular slingers with thureos shields in order to acquire a quicker superiority during the skirmishing phase to clear the way for the phalanx or the heavy infantry anyway. They lose some mobility and rate of fire but they will make it up in resilience. Recruitable in Light IV and both military docks level IV on trihemiolias.

Also improved a bit the variant for the hellenic legionaries.

No Epirus? :(

will do :) thanks!

Actually just the legionary reform, if you want something focused on Macedon you may check out our Diadochs mod (click on my other shared files).

what kind of units? it would be good to see some variety of Sword infantry as im not sure if they have many :/

Do you mean a particular mod or with the faction? In the latter, they will receive some units and the legionaries among them.

does this mod work with Macedonia?

It works, download is great, can't wait to use this mod. :)

OFF-Steam download. [drive.google.com]
Temporarily here among the comments, I can't edit the description for some derping reason.

They are a particular faction with an enjoyable campaign, if I do say so myself. I really loved playing Knossos during testing, they really won a corner of my heart. :3

Hehe. Seems like it's time to play Knossos again. I loved raiding those pesky Seleucid brats with my thorax swordsmen hexaremes and now it's gonna get even more exciting.

Yeah... Didn't think of the balance on navies lol Will do!

Well, we were seeing Massilia's army as a easy-to-recruit legionary main stay with fewer elite units than other greek cities/states. I doubt it would be fair to give them navy uber picked hoplites (poor Athens) but we'll consider a sword elite. Not just a greek honour guard with swords because that would be boring and contradictory.
Keep the suggestions coming!
