will this mod be updated???

can i mute music from mod and to put lets say something else? mod is great but music is veryyyyy bad

nah this mos bad

i'm pretty sure the name of sumer would more accurately be 𒋗𒈨𒊒, or šumeru

@LEGACYLEO No idea. IMO, we'll still have to wait for a long time. The creator has probably a ton of issues to solve on this one. There's also external factors of life, y'know,work, family, health, all that jazz.
We can only wait and hope for the best.

When do you think we will get new faction for this mod?

can we have a new faction for 2025 ?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3374952399 Hey guys hope you are doing good. As I saw in Discord the activity related to the mod is dead. If you are still interested in develope a bronze age TW mod I leave here my own proyect, in the much better new Pharaoh engine. So if you want to join please contact me. This night i'll update new version with a few more units. Thanks for all your work!

have the crashes been fix

@NuGuNz Agreed. Definitely a good adaptation of the Bronze Age era into one of the better late Total Wars. Tho the limitation of playable campaigns to Egypt and the Hittites (plus the frequent crashes and technical issues past turn 10 for me) make me prefer Pharaoh for now.

better than CA's bronze era entry

why only two playable factions...Assyrians would be more fun to play...

quiero saber cuando van a subir algo mas para este gran mod me gusta mucho y me gustaria que haya mas facciones jugables como Troya Micenas Ptia

Just tried it, not a bad mod, I only played a few turns and I'd say it has great potential. Just one thing, lower the music a bit, it's too loud and becomes repetitive after a while.

when update ?

where are the big clubs and the clunky bronze armour?

Aight this looks SICK

@Nomad416 not sure what their plans are for factions within the mod but historically Sicily would have been home to the Shekelesh(Sicels/Sicani), Southern Italy would have been the homeland of the Weshesh(Oscans) and the Teresh were farther north(Terramare culture). The Sherden(Nuraghe) were in Sardinia/Corsica.
This theory and it's supporting evidence comes from the Erasmus University of Rotterdam dissertation entitled "The Ethnicity of the Sea Peoples" by Dr. Fred C. Woudhuizen [1959 - 2021] published in 2006

What's the purpose of southern Italy and Sicily's presence on the map? They look to be functional provinces compared to the other unused areas.

Can we wait ''All Factions Playable''? Or something -Mycenae
-Knossos-Troy Campaigns?

@Benjin Any time window for the update? Appreaciate the effort and time you've been puttin in, cool mod!

pleaseee put more faction to campaign like Troy or Assyria

even though right now it is unplayable

@Benjin oh man an update is coming for real ?! I cant wait This mod a great potential !

can't wait for the update

Great work guys.

@Akhnaten
As an update to this mod.

@Benjin, a new update is coming? looking forward to it! Will it be uploaded on this page or will it be done like a patch-submod like Absolute Bronze?

This sounds great Benjin. Thank you.

@Rubino303
No, we’re not asking people to make submods to unlock factions. I’ve already unlocked them for the next update last weekend and entirely removed the "Slaves" faction from being able to spawn as that faction was one of the major sources of random crashing in the fog of war for many players due to something in their hardcoding (e.g. if the faction leader dies in battle, the game always crashes for some reason). There are still a few things I’m working on before release, but faction accessibility isn’t an issue. The only submod suggestion I made previously was for Israel since that’s something we’re not planning to do.

As for submods in general, I’d love to see ones that expand the depth of the mod, like Absolute Bronze, which introduces population mechanics and a tin/copper/bronze system. That kind of thing enhances the experience rather than just unlocking content that’s already in the works.

They want you guys to make submods for this mod that will unlock other factions and finish the work they no longer seem interested in other than Benjin maybe.
I was looking forward to the factions outside of the areas available to play in TW:Pharaoh,Dynasties, but im not gonna hold my breath.
Even if some brave soul did start unlocking other factions to play as, they wont be able to finish the mod with the weird tribal no man's land outside of the map areas they thought we shouldnt be reaching or whatever the thought process there was.

Interested. When the other nations become available I will definately be subbing to this.

i wish i could play other nations other then just 2 MAN

is there an ost? i love the ost of this mod so much

@beowulf; Egypt is rich it just takes time to build it up. If you recruit a navy in Sais, you can send it around and get a lot of money for trade rights + the income for trade is higher.

Also, I’d recommend using the absolute bronze submod, the additional copper/tin global market system adds more economic potential. And it has the script which helps major factions and makes late game more fun. It was removed from the base mod for some reason

my honest opinion about the mod, looks great factions are interesting and units look cool. settkements look awesome. but it is less emersive for the settlements when there are still a few "hellenistic" buildings scattered about. however, playing as egypt is extremly painful. everyone around you except for 1 or 2 factions absolutely hate you and i get declared war on by 4-5 factions around be by turn 10. ive replayed egypt on very hard, hard, and normal with the same thing happening. the economy is very much lacking to be able to effectivly support armies strong enough to fight all of that at the start of the gamre. in comparison to base game egypt or DEI egypt, the starting territories dont exactly feel rich and egypt feels rather very weak. i recommend either revamping the economy from buildings to increase income atleast in egypt or improving the opinions of some of the factions around you to prevent a bunch of people declaring war on you right out the gate.

also why no new factions why only 2

sea people as faction would be cool

@Airstoxenus
I think the best option would be if someone did a submod for AoB that included them. One very easy way - without having to edit the startpos - would be to either re-brand the existing emergent faction for the province of Canaan to be something like that, or potentially use one of the placeholder "bro_raider_##" factions (we left a few unused to allow players to do extra things with them for generated random events) to be a newly spawned faction designated as the "Habiru", "Israelites" or whatever other name given to them to spawn via a special event (either one-time at a certain turn time, within a range of turns or be dynamic via scripts - up to the mod author as to how complicated it should be). This way it can stay historical as a base but bring in the "what if" via player choice.

The Israelites were either in Egypt or had already left but hadn't settled in Canaan in this time period. 2 million strong by then. Should be a rebel faction at the least. -Coffee

@Aristoxenus, read the "Historical FAQ" section, this is a question that has been asked a lot

The Israelites could be an emerging faction, if possible to do, they were cousins of the Arameans, which the latter called them "Habiru" (Meaning "Hebrew")

When are the other factions playable?

@Degenerate Weeb
Okay but don't worry, I've had that bug you've got before and I'm sure it's fixable. If I run into it again I'll let you know what the solution is.

@Benji, Nah man, I just launched the mod and only the mod, even verified game files and then turned the mod off as well and base game ran smooth, then ran DEI, which ran smooth. I have no clue what the issue is.

@Mathicsatem
Thanks I'll check this out.

Map error: ORKOMENOS, Campaign, Hittites.
I’m working on a thrilling beach assault scenario, but the map you're using is set too far inland from the shoreline. As a result, my ship units end up stranded on dry land, turning invisible, and the game inevitably crashes.

@Benjin

@Degenerate Weeb
Are you using any other mods (e.g. Absolute Bronze)? I've had that happen to me once.

No clue what's wrong with the mod but the turn times take so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long that it's unplayable, can't really go past turn 5 without losing interest since it takes so damn long. Never had an issue with turn times with DEI or raidus so im just confused.
