DEI Faction – Koinon Hellenon

This mod was inspired by the Koinon Hellenon faction from the Rome: Total War mod, Europa Barbarorum. The “Alliance of the Hellenes” included Athens, Sparta, and Rhodes as an in-game representation of the ‘Chremodian Alliance’.

This alliance is now brought to Rome 2 via Divide et Impera. This mod is for those who love the Greek city-states; who dream of an Athenian-Spartan alliance repulsing Philip of Macedon; and who see the ascension of Alexander and Rome not as military inevitabilities, but historical incidences.

New Faction: Koinon Hellenon (Replaces Athens)

• Cavalry & Marines from Athens
• Hoplites from Sparta
• Slingers from Rhodes
• Archers from Crete

New Faction Perks

• Oracle of Delphi: Public Order bonus in settlements with Greek majority culture
• Panhellenism: Diplo bonus with all Greek Factions

New Government Types

• Athenian Politeia: Infrustructure Focus
• Spartan Monarchy: Martial Focus
• Rhodian Oligarchy: Commercial Focus
• Hellenic Empire: Bit of everything

• 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.

Updated for 1.2.7b; make sure to put it before DEI in the load order. Compatible with most mods. (I’ve incorporated the DEI Settler Mod, so don’t use that in conjunction with this.)

I owe a large thanks to the following content creators, who I’ve incorporated their work/ideas with their permission:

1. Europa Barbarorum and Europa Barbarorum 2 for the inspiration for this faction.
2. Noif1988’s emblems, which I use for KH. His excellent emblem pack can be found here.
3. And of course the Divide et Impera team, who have created a spectacular mod to whom I owe many hours of fun.
