Expanded Family Trees
This mod expands the family trees of most base game factions to include missing historical characters. In the case of Aegean factions, the characters were taken from mythological sources. More than 110 characters have been added to 23 different factions. The mod also adds 17 new character models. In addition, the mod implements a custom mechanic regarding Helen’s abduction to spice up the Aegean campaigns.
- Mycenae
- Troy
- Ramesses
- Amenmesse
- Suppiluliuma
- Kurunta
- Babylon
- Hanibalgat
- Aeolia
- Ithaca
- Lycia
- Thrace
- Bоeotians
- Merneptah
- Amunia
- Napata
- Meshwesh
- Carchemish
- Cimmerians
- Assyria
- Ugarit
- Skyros
- Corinth
At turn 10, Helen will abandon the Mycenaean faction and be transferred to Troy, where she will marry Paris, Deiphobos or Helenos, in that order of preference. After Helen’s abduction, the first faction to occupy, sack or raze Troy will claim Helen for themselves. The mechanic has a "true ending" scenario (read the relevant discussion post for more details).
If you want to use this mod together with Radious, subscribe to Radious compatibility submod. The compatibility submod needs to be placed on top of the original mods in the Total War launcher. In case you do not want to use the Radious mod, it may also work as a 12-building slot submob for Expanded Family Trees.
The Expanded Pantheons sister mod adds 28 new deities to the game, raising the total number to 62. Each god has custom buildings and effects inspired by their attributes. The mod also tweaks the cult centre regions and discovery realms of the vanilla gods, so that they are more historically faithful.
The Daughters of Ares submod replaces the Cimmeria faction with an Amazon faction led by Penthesilea. The roster of the Amazon faction consists of 35 units from Total War Troy. In addition, the faction has its own culture and religion/influence.
This mod is part of the Bibliotheca Historica: Gods, Kings and Heroes collection. The recommended load order, from top to bottom, is the following one:
- Expanded Pantheons (standalone)
- Daughters of Ares (submod)
- Radious compatibility submod (compatibility submod)
- Expanded Family Trees (main mod)
- Radious parts 1 & 2 (optional, not compatible with Daughters of Ares)
The mod edits startpos tables, so a new game is required for all the changes to be applied. This means that the mod is incompatible with other mods that edit the startpos. The mod also edits the phar_ambitions.lua, phar_death_dilemmas.lua and phar_court.lua scripts.
If you want to contribute anything to this mod in any way, feel free to contact me through Steam or Discord (Amulet of Kings#1284).
