Amazons Mod
This is a simple mod that overhauls the Pontus faction to become Amazons.
Contains updated ground and naval units.
Features:
– Pontus faction becomes Amazons in Grand Campaign
– Amazons have 100% spawn rate of female generals. Male generals still possible through marriage.
– Amazons have unique land and naval units with descriptions and unique unit cards. Artillery units are same as old Pontus.
– Amazons have three unique Tier V buildings.
– Amazons have updated Garrison units and political faction names.
The Amazons overall play similarly to the High/Wood Elves from Total War Warhammer. Their units have the emphasis on attack and speed (such as hard hitting light and medium infantry), as well as as great ranged troops. However they lack durable heavy infantry or heavy cavalry.
Unique Land units overview:
– Amazon Militia (Tier 1 Light Spear)
– Amazon Hunters (Tier 1 Light Javelin)
– Artemis Cultists (Tier 1 Light Dagger)
– Amazon Slingers (Tier 1 Slinger)
– Amazon Swords (Tier 2 Medium Sword)
– Amazon Spears (Tier 2 Medium Spear)
– Themiscyra Swords (Tier 2+ Medium Sword)
– Themiscyra Spears (Tier 2+ Medium Spear)
– Amazon Archers (Tier 2+ Archer)
– Amazon Royal Guard (Tier 3 Heavy Spear)
– Royal Archers (Tier 3 Archer)
– Daughters of Ares (Tier 3 Light Shock Infantry)
– Amazon Riders (Tier 1 Javelin Cav)
– Horse Guard (Tier 2 Spear Cav)
– Royal Horse Archers (Tier 3 Archer Cav)
(Naval units feature these but in ships arranged in typical Rome 2 fashion)
Limitations & SOLUTIONS:
– Your starting faction leader, generals, and armies will be the same as old Pontus. That is because mods (.pack files) can’t change starter armies and characters, only editing the startpos.esf via EditSF can.
Simply fire the units and replace the generals if you wish.
– Your two female characters at the start will have the "Family Duty" trait preventing levelling. (Subsequently recruited generals do not have this issue) .Use EditSF to remove the traits.
– There is no way to remove male generals entirely. My head-canon is in their culture, male generals are rare but possible.
