Description
Quick mod to add Crete.

For clues on load order see collection above. And yes, you need all mods required :). (the three listed on the right panel)

Trivia:
In 1420 BC, the Minoan civilization was subsumed by the Mycenaean civilization from mainland Greece. The oldest samples of writing in the Greek language, as identified by Michael Ventris, is the Linear B archive from Knossos, dated approximately to 1425–1375 BC. After the Bronze Age collapse, Crete was settled by new waves of Greeks from the mainland. A number of city states developed in the Archaic period. There was limited contact with mainland Greece, and Greek historiography shows little interest in Crete, so there are few literary references about the island or its people.

In Greek mythology, Idomeneus was a Cretan king and commander who led the Cretan armies to the Trojan War, in eighty black ships. He was also one of the suitors of Helen, as well as a comrade of the Telamonian Ajax. In Homer's Iliad, Idomeneus is found among the first rank of the Greek generals, leading his troops and engaging the enemy head-on, and escaping serious injury. Idomeneus was one of Agamemnon's trusted advisors. See this video for more on Idomeneus or check out[en.wikipedia.org] his wiki page.

This mod is not affiliated with Kelly's Minoan mod. Check out his mod for a different take on this faction.

Yeah I hate doing the unit cards and will do almost anything else but. Yes I reformed the unit prices for the flavour pack. Spears are cheaper, historically the majority of the units were spears. Swords, axes etc. were most of the time pdf weapons. Plus spear troops were easier/cheaper to train, than swords. So my goal is to incentivise mlre historical loadouts.

This mod is a pretty good experience and pairs well with the rest of the flavor pack/additional factions. Kriti is in such a compelling position for a campaign, I have no idea how this faction wasn't selected to be playable by default. I do notice there's a few units that are missing unit cards in both 2D and 3D, as well as some that are just extraneous compared to alternatives for the same price. (Eg. Neocretan mob is around the same price as the Toxotai swordsmen yet completely inferior with no upsides, including unit size.)

New units to Pharaoh, however their from the Troy roster, modified to look a little more Minoan by me.

So when you say "quick," do you mean it unlocks Crete and that's it? No new units or anything? Not trashing you at all, just curious.
