I have a project to create a large-scale Iron Age project that would encompass a great Greek confederation, a vast Persian empire, an Israeli kingdom, and other ideas to be added soon. The project is estimated to take 1-2 years to complete. I need your suggestions and advice for better results. What do you think of the idea?

An Iron Age project with Greece (Sparta, Makedon, Athens...) Persia and more factions? It sounds very cool. Imagine also with ancillaries and the systems of dynasties and courts.
I think 1-2 years can be a long time, but if you add interesting things and it changes compared to vanilla it can be a very good idea.

Since I work on the side, I created this post to get support and ideas. Thank you also for your comment. I’m trying to gather feedback over the next 1-3 months in order to finalize the specifications

I deleted the other post because it was unnecessary.

I know this reaction might be a little late, but I would love iron age, but it would require an east-ward map expansion to at least bactria and possibly northward for iron age thrace and macedon and the ponto-caspian steppes. also, I wouldn't recommend a greek confederation, as it is unhistorical, and would cause us all to miss out on things like thebes, sparta and athens warring, or the conflict within the boeotian league. persia would be cool, but we could use something better than what rome 2 had to represent satrapies

iron age in this game will be awesome, but i dont know how you could make cavalry bodyguards or pikes units, im very interesting in the iron age, if you can do it i hope you will make a great job

i came to the discussion to mod request for an Alexander the Great campaign overhaul mod. This is pretty similar to what you are suggesting. It would be a huge endeavour to overhaul this bronze age game into the iron age. Good luck

@PandaDogxD
The modders of DEI added an Alexander the Great campaign to Rome 2 - you might want to check it out ( DEI is a total overhaul mod ).

Sorry for perhaps replying incredibly late, but i have to say that this is an incredible project and we are lucky to have someone who makes it. If you want, i can give you some context for the persians and environs around 550-500 BC and even later(ex.480-400BC or 395-343BC), since you mentioned the persian empire and the greek city states

I am extremely looking forward to this!

Imagine if the game actually transitioned from bronze age to the iron age as time went on
