Basileia ton Romaion submod for Stainless Steel 6.1

The aim of this submod is to provide the players of Stainless Steel 6.1 with a historically accurate medieval Roman (i.e. Byzantine) unit roster. Almost all of the vanilla units for the Byzantines were either inaccurately implemented or just plain inaccurate. This submod redresses this...and more!

Installation Instructions
1. Download the above file
2. Run the installer and point it to your Medieval II Total War directory (not the SS directory)
3. Delete the map.rwm files from the Stainless_Steel_6\data\world\maps\base and Stainless_Steel_6\data\world\maps\campaign\custom\Late_Era_Campaign folders. The campaign will take a minute or two to start the first time after you do this. Don't worry it's normal (the game is rebuilding the map).
4. Delete the events.dat and events.idx files from the Stainless_Steel_6\data\sounds folder.

THIS MOD IS NOT SAVE-GAME COMPATIBLE

Features:

• A completely overhauled unit roster. Almost all units are completely new and historically accurate.
• A combination of skins from several modders as well as many original creations.
• New weapon models and textures (thanks to Lord_Calidor)
• Realistic battle banners.
• Starting conditions for both Early and Late Era campaigns are much more accurate. Help the Komneneans restore the Empire to its former glory in the Early campaign. Or fight to regain Constantinople from the crusaders in the Late Era campaign.
• New battle and strat map models for all army leaders.
• Career system for Byzantine generals.
• New roleplaying features. Recover Byzantine relics. Gain titles for your generals
• Byzantine quotes for loading screens
• Proper terrain around Constantinople. No more tropical jungle.

A brief word from our leader AnthoniusII:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This submod is designed to show you medieval Roman history after 1080AD. In the 23 units you will find that 9 are cavalry. That does not mean that you will automatically win against any opponent in battle. The units consist of a variety of "native" and mercenary troops of all levels: from armed peseants to the heaviest cavalry in the world.

In our sub mod you will realise that diplomacy can buy you crucial time for your empire. You will find some elite units in your capital at the start of the early era campaign but you may want to think twice before you start any hostilitees with any faction (even the most hated of enemies).
Even via free merc troops you will soon realise that your capital is largely undefended and danger is very close indeed. The units can give you a boost to reconquer the former and glorious empire but they can also easily destroy you by their cost or their minimal loyalty.

Some simple advice:
1: Do not fight wars on two fronts the same time. Use your diplomats wisely.
2: War needs money even that could mean great peace times!
3: The Empire's troops are more defensive than offensive. It is not wise to use defensive troops(even the elite ones) in the open field.
4: Try to fortify borders that your neighbours who you aren't currently at war with. This way you gain time to raise new armies and avoid sudden attacks.
5: Choose your primary targets carefully: There are settlements that can for the most part neutralise the ennemy for a long time when you capture them.
6: The Roman troops are better in defence than attack: turn this fact to your advantage.

I hope I helped you to your start...Enjoy the glorious Roman units!

음, 스킨이 적절하네요. 적어도 SS 모드의 스킨보다는 몇배는 나은듯... 근데 미딥 삭제하니까 별로 감흥은 없네효...

[시저Ⅵ]

6.1쓰는데 그냥 다운받아 덮으면 되나요?? 세이브 호환되나요?

[카르셀리아]

음 비잔틴만 바뀐 서브모드이군요 ㅎ

pp모드깔았는데 되나요?

[최하늘]

SSTC, RR, Byg’s에 현재는 적용이 안 된다는 것으로봐 어렵지 않을까 싶습니다.
