Please, please update.

It should be the faction with the largest roster, from Emporion in the West, Iberia to Cimmeria, in the east, Crimea, they should have a huge diversity, more than the Successor Kingdoms combined

Set-up
Download a Diplomacy mod that forces AI into diplomatic actions. E.g. Cyanide's Easy Diplomacy.
Start a game as Koinon Hellenon (Athens)
Use your starting ship to discover Rhodes. Force Sparta and Rhodes into a confederation. (Optional: Add Crete into the confederation.) Declare war on Makedon. Form a NAP with Egypt, and ensure you are trading. Use your spy to discover Epirus. Have Egypt and Epirus declare war on Macedon. You declare war on Epirus too.
Save your game, exit Rome 2, and deactivate ‘Easy Diplomacy’ on your next start-up.

This works fine, no one ever reads mod descriptions.. sheesh

If you load it below DEI it works with the new versions but it keeps your name as Athens while allowing to recruit Athenian and Spartan Hoplites, and other non-Athenian units, Amazing mod.

Incompatible with the latest update

screw forcing this new father to update the mod, does anyone know what version we should roll back to to use it?

Can you make it a separate faction the DEI factions are dry as hell

Hoplefully we get an update soon, I wish I knew how to make mods to get this going again.

I'm sorry it no longer works; I hope to update it this year, but no promises. I'd be glad to assist someone else if they'd like to take the reins.

Re: Ɲ ł Ŧ Ʀ ł Ӿ

IIRC a fourth general should have been the Cav Bodyguard unit. I'll look into this when/if I return.

To anyone checking this mod out: its too out of date and crashes at campaign start :(
Was an awesome mod when it worked, i dont think the creator is coming back so here's to hoping someone makes an updated version someday

Man I want to say a huge thank you for your mod. This is amazing !

But it's a bit true that is a bit OP and need more units but it's almost perfect.

Just one question, why Athenian cavalry doesn't appear as general in custom battle ? I tried to modify this in PFM but still doesn't appear. I only have three units to be my general : Royal Spartans, Rhodians selected hoplites and Athenians Hoplites

@blade-92 Changing the values of unit stats/descriptions is extremely tedious, monotonous work. To transfer a mod from either vanilla or DEI takes a decent amount of research and testing even with resources on how to do it.

Why only for DEI?! T_T

Congratulations! No worries! Hope all goes well for you and your family and thanks for informing me.

Thank you acgreen4real. However I had my firstborn child recently, and do not have the time to update this. I may do so if I ever had the opportunity to play again, but I don't know when that may be.

I know you probably dont have much time to modify this but just lyk there are those of us graciously awaiting an update :)

and more spartan units to the roster. and what acgreen said. also the bounus for playing the country is quite boring players never need diplo bonus plus. but in the end an interesting mod i like a bit more varied unit roster as Sparta really needed that

how do you add units to a faction?

i recommend using the AI accepts all offers mod for the beginning. it just makes every diplomatic request high as soon as you click it.

If you do update this in the future; perhaps add Rhodian Marines and Light Hoplites to the land army if possible and maybe a few rhodian marine/slinger melee variant ships? Love the mod :) still works on dei 1.2.8 from what I've seen.

Quick question, does anyone know of a way for me to remove the penalty for switching political systems? I want to simulate the sharing of power by having the ruling party alternate every 4 years. Like having all prominent citizens gather and vote on who will be Archon for the league for the next olympiad. So if Areus is elected, I'll use the spartan monarchy system, if Chremonidies wins, athenian poletia, should any of the rhodian oligarchs win, rhodians will dominate politics.

This is pretty fun, like obviously its kinda OP for example, not having Homoioi specific population to simulate Sparta's horrific manpower shortage but you can just role play it by using EB's turn timers for Spartan Hoplites. You get one unit every 22 turns. like deadass, its rough. Otherwise, I simulate Homoioi population in a separate campaign. Until I hit the next reform level, or about 235 BC when Cleomenes III took power for you historically accurate inclined folks, I assume all Spartans come from Sparta herself and are stupidly rare and precious. For spicy roleplay you could muster the "entirety" of sparta and if they fall, Sparta falls. Use them to bat away some crisis and otherwise dismiss them back into sparta.

Great fun, thanks for bringing my favorite faction into rome 2!

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Regarding issues:

1.) Being unable to upgrade the Spartan capital is NOT intended. I've just frankly been unable to make the Spartan reforms work with this faction.

2.) While the KH is indeed a little OP, I want to point out it's no less OP than Athens is. The Mercenary Reform trait is staggeringly good.

I have the same questions as Teth

Nice!

Kinda OP, but fun all the same! One thing I noticed: even after the thureos/thorax reforms, I am unable to build the lv3+ military/normal capital building at Sparta, because it says I do not have the correct reform level. The only option is to build Commercial Sparta, which means I don't unlock the Reformed Agoge XP buffs. Is this intended?

Thank you!

my game crashes because of this mod. The mod is very interesting and I want to play it, but starting a campaign for this faction - the game crashes for me. What to do?

@haman(fatty) considering the Sparta Start in DEI is hard as hell, this is a welcome change IMO

This seems a tad op. The idea is really cool but i feel like it throws the balance off.

just a reccomendation, this would be really cool as an emergent faction if two greek states confederate.

Maybe add Pergamon units too!

Good mod, but you should remove Sparta as well :)
