would be cool if there was a version of this that starts either around the time of cyrus the great's birth, or once the persian empire is already establlished, as most mods dont really include the achaemenids

Again...
How about the Guanche? the first Guanche tribes were established around the start date.

Hey! wheres Thailand at? (well you do have Ayuthayya)

why are some of the nations just random letters

The game is super slow due to the high amount of nations

Is there no option to make the great wonders that were removed because of this timeline?

You should add a disclaimer that your mod is broken past 413.

Thanks mate! I won't forget to credit you in the description of the mod.

Go for it. I consider this mod an open contribution to the community so feel free to use, add, modify or whatever you want with it. I'd ask for a reference back to the original, but hey, I'm not going to police anything :P

@Patch Actually, in my spare time, I've mostly been able port your mod to be compatible with the Terra Indomita map with Invictus features included. However, I had to delete and change a lot of files to make everything work and I'm currently still in the process of fixing bugs and readding some of the features of your mod (I had to delete some stuff temporarily like the roman republic mission you made to make everything work). The port is in a playable state and I could release it to the workshop, but I would like your permission first since it is your mod after all. I enjoy playing this mod, but I wanted to add my own ideas and play with some of the features Invictus and Terra Indomita so I decided to attempt to make a port.

I will not be expanding the map. Due to how the map files of fixed size, the only way to extend the map would be to rescale those images, so if i were to expand the map then more and more detail would get lost across the map.

will you add china in a future? i know some stuff about migration

We have 3D/2D models of units of the time for a better immersion of the time?

I am hoping for you gradually including China, Mongolian steppes, Korea, Japan, North and South Americas and Polynesian Islands.

Awesome I look forward to it i love the mod keep up the good work man!

yeah i've reached the conclusion that its something in the crossing the sahara missions, but currently lack the time to properly investigate. It is something I am aware of though and will get on it hopefully within the next few weeks

I have been able to get the date to move from reloading an older save and playing through, however still crash in 413, I have a feeling there is an event triggering or a building/ mission or something being completed that causes this crash.

I always crash when I get to a certain date in my game, currently its Feb 2nd 413 BC that my game crashes at every time.

I looked at maps because i thought it'd be easier than messing around with mechanics, so I'm afraid I haven't looked into it. If you have modding questions the most active place I've seen for current Imperator modding is the 'Imperator Invictus' discord, so you might want to try there

I got it. I've been modding myself a lot, but also didn't want to touch maps because looked painful.

Still thanks a lot for your help.

One question though, you have any idea how paradox control war enthusiasm besides the defines files?

I'm afraid I won't be able to do that, even though I also like the sound of it. The map files are actually fixed in size, so resizing is mostly done by scaling maps up and down. It's not impossible, but its a considerable amount of work that I just don't have time for any more

Hey Patch. Since you made good map here, any chance we have more detailed mediterranium instead of bigger map(Coverage)?

I love Bronze age Greece, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Anatolia and Pontos Euxinos.

If we could have a continuation of that map with inclusion of Italy, Africa(Carthage), Iberia, Gaulia, Belgium and Germany and most importantly, the classic setup and tags, would be marvelous

I've only run for a few years, but havn't encountered any issues so far

@ Patch: Great! Thank you. Just wanted to ask whether this mod (the expanded one) will work on the currently released Beta version 2.0.4?

I've released a new version of the mod without the map expansion. After some tests, it seems to run about half way between the performance of the base game and the full map expanded version. See the description above for a link to it

add better ai, white carthage, and a stronger rome and ill die a happy man

add china

Hello, would also be great having another version with smaller global map, but more regions in important areas.

Ex: Bigger Italy, Greece, Italy, Paeonia Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, Carthage, Spain, Gaul, Germany

It would be cool if you added more of russia

Thanks, you are the best

Yay for mystery crashes. I am currently investigating the cause, and have the vague intuition that its the crossing the saharan missions that are causing it but still no eta on a fix.

I've also been investigating another version of the mod without the map expansion for less lag, but its non-trivial to de-entangle just the vanilla map areas. It'll get done at some point, but its not a current priority

My save also randomly broke during two different games around 355 idk why

i agree with the guy below me, africa is cool but having a version without it to increase performance would be nice, my game already lags at the end of every month now it lags every passing day, also, aeolia has a province name that is "PROV258_AOL" maybe thats where troy is meant to be?? not sure but clearly a bug

Hi, I have a problem with lagging on this mod. I think it's maybe because of the amount of added tags. Is it possible to release an update without sub-saharan africa? Thank you and thanks for this incredible mod.

thank you for keeping imperator rome alive

i'm afraid i have no quick fix then. I'll keep poking around but can't promise anything

This is the only mod I have running and I don't think I am doing anything unusual. I was building the road in newly acquired Dacian territory and then I sent my legion to deal with barbarian incursions. After crushing it, I get the crash at the end of the month

annoyingly I've managed to play on the savegame for a few years without issue. Are you running any other mods? Or are you doing anything specific before the crash?

just posted it in the same folder

that didn't help as much as i'd hope. Are you able to upload the savegame?

Just uploaded it

In the same google link you posted earlier for someone with a similar problem?

any chance you could post the error log? The whole thing is probably too long but the last few lines should be enough

Does anyone else's game crash in January 31, 331? Everytime I reload my autosave from January 1st in-game, it always crashes on January 31 for some reason

I was eagerly waiting for an Imperator mod set in this time period. No more Rome, Carthage and Diadochoi monopolising the Mediterranean!

Amazing work!

You should have a Cyrus the Great event, that would really start to spice things up as defeating 3 out of the 4 major powers at that time in less than 10 years is unprecedented.

Hey, this mod is really laggy for me. Could you make a version without the additional map areas for performance?

And they say this game is dead

No, this mod is entirely my work. Certain add-ons to invictus may work with this but I have not tested anything other than this mod as standalone
