Successor Wars - Part 1

Successor Wars is an overhaul mod that focuses on the earlier wars of the Diadochi (among other coinciding conflicts). This mod uses the Imperator Augustus map, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the Successor Wars to the East and the Samnite Wars to the West without feeling too crowded. Futhermore, everything has been entirely overhauled to match the setting—diplomacy, regional names, family trees, etc—along with the addition of 40 new factions, all of which have been built from scratch.

- 16 playable factions currently, all with historically accurate family trees (where applicable)
- 4 TPY
- Two new edicts, vanilla edict stats have also been minorly tweaked
- Factions gain more loot from sacking, razing, and liberating to incentivize their uses
- New subculture for Celts south of the Alps to distinguish them from the those in Gaul
- Seleukidai, Antipatridai, and Ptolemaioi have their missions overhauled. Still working on Antigonidai & Lysimakhoi
- Samnites have an entirely new tech tree, tailored specifically for them from scratch (this took forever lol)
- When playing as the Diadochi, you now have the option to move your capital to Pella after occupying the settlement (for a small fee)
- Victory conditions have been set for all factions
- Autosave now works for every playable faction

16 historically reskined units for the Germanic culture, this also includes the shield patterns/colorations created by AveMetal, as well as brand new custom skins for the following cultures:
- Cisalpine Gaulish Generals
- Punic Generals
- Roman Generals
- Greek Generals
- Most Brittonic Generals

- Added Campanian Cavalry to the Samnites, both as a general unit and recruitable at lvl 4 of the Horse chain
- Added Lucanian Ambushers to Samnites also, recruitable at lvl 3 of the military chain
- More vanilla units added to the Cisalpine Gauls' roster

- All faction names are now endonymic, meaning they’re the native term for themselves instead of the latinized version (inspired from mods like DEI and EBII). There are exceptions, however.
- Proto-Germanic inspired names for all Germanic characters, agents, and armies.
- Hellenic names closer to the original Greek, i.e. less-latinized Greek
- Celtic and Punic character names no longer latinized + additional historical names added
- The Samnite, Germanic, and Gaulish religious buildings have been supplemented/adjusted for more historical accuracy
