Dark Ages AD 634: The Age of Heraclius & the Byzantine-Arab Wars 1.0
This mod transports the AoC expansion pack into a historically accurate Grand Campaign scenario beginning in the year AD 634 – two years after the death of Muhammad and the beginning of the Byzantine-Arab Wars.
Step into a world poised on the brink of seismic change. AD 634 casts you into the aftermath of the Prophet Muhammad’s death, as the fledgling Rashidun Caliphate rises to challenge the great powers of the age. The Byzantine and Sassanid empires, weakened by decades of mutual war, brace themselves for the storms to come, while barbarian kingdoms and steppe nomads watch, ready to exploit the chaos.
This mod transforms the Grand Campaign into a fully immersive historical sandbox, merging the rich unit rosters of the Age of Charlemagne expansion with the complex political and military landscape of the early 7th century. Every faction has been placed in historically accurate starting positions, complete with authentic characters, family trees, and culturally tailored traits.
Key Features:
– Start date: AD 634 – the world on the edge of the Byzantine-Arab Wars.
– AoC Expansion pack units and factions fully integrated into the Grand Campaign.
– Historically accurate faction positions, characters, and family trees.
– Immersive faction descriptions, user interface artwork, and cultural traits, reflecting the historical context and ambitions of the era.
– Gameplay improvements, including renamed unit rosters, new buildings, army adjustments, and refined religious systems.
– Scripts adjusted: Hun spawn disabled, climate change disabled, for a more focused campaign experience.
– Imported generals models from The Last Roman (TLR) expansion pack to the Roman factions.
Experience the clash of empires, the rise of new powers, and the unfolding of history as it truly was in AD 634. Will you exploit the weakness of the great empires, unite the steppe hordes, or forge a new path for your people in this volatile age? The fate of the known world rests in your hands.
