The Five Schools
An integral part of the Hellenistic era is not merely the military conquests of Alexander and political might of the Successors, but also the spread of Greek culture and the intellectual achievements brought about in this area both by the original Hellenes but also by the many and great contributions of Egyptians, Syrians, Anatolians, who participated in the various philosophical developments of the era. This mod seeks to bring these features to life and to simultaneously integrate playing an individual character with the long-term goals of the nation.
The current mod scope focuses on:
– Individual character development as the player seeks to acquire traits as part of their philosophical training
– Provincial effects as new schools are founded to continually produce local philosophers
The character development is the theme of this first release. There are currently 5 possible philosophies to engage with:
– Platonism
– Peripatetism (Aristotelianism)
– Epicureanism
– Stoicism
– Skepticism (Pyrrhonism)
Each school has three traits which require unique requirements to fulfill.
A fantastic 3D model is added to select provinces when a school is founded by the player.
