Description
SWITCH TO "REALISTIC" UNIT COLOR SCHEME IN THE GAME SETTINGS!
(Otherwise all unit icons will be peasants and some Scythian units will use wrong textures)

Please, if you find bugs, report them on the Rome TWC Discord: https://discord.com/invite/j9HpxxQP9A

Barbarian Empires mod is a Rome Remastered port of classic Barbarian Empires/Hellenistic Legacy mods: https://www.moddb.com/mods/lanjanes-barbarian-empires using Kirsi's Map Template.

The mod features 28 playable factions (classic vanilla setup + 9 new factions: Bosporan Kingdom, Kingdom of Baktria, Kingdom of Epirus, Gaetulii, Burgundii, Libyans, Sarmatians, Xiongnu, Picts).

The campaign is fully playable, with a lot of new custom content created specially for the Remastered version, such as 3 tiers of Roman reforms (Marian, Imperial and Late Imperial), new Numidian roster, and so on.

Please note that this is a beta, meaning that some content is not yet in, and there could be visual bugs with the shields and other unit assets. But there are no crashes and we tested multiple early campaigns for hundreds of turns with not a single crash.

Known issues:
1) Some unit models may have visual glitches/flickering, please report them on the mod Discord
2) Some stratmap characters use vanilla RR models
3) Some units in campaign have vanilla RTW icons and visuals and cannot be retrained. Just disband/ignore those
4) The mod is only available in English and Simplified Chinese (machine translated). Other languages use English placeholder files

Lanjane  [author] , sorry to hear this, but I understand your frustration and lack of motivation. I must say you are one of the most dedicated moder and provided countless hours of play and enjoyment for this old man. Thank you and good luck!!!

There's a version of the mod in development with almost twice as many factions but when I was working on it I eventually lost motivation completely by the decision of the company to stop supporting this game in any way, even though it has some crucial engine bugs left unfixed, including the especially nasty ones, like the character movement stuttering and the "passive AI bug", resulting in random factions on the map becoming completely passive, randomly. The latter bug can happen in any mod, no matter if it has 20 factions or 100 factions, and to my opinion it completely destroys the strategic layer of the game. Until the devs fix it, I feel completely discouraged to continue investing my limited free time and energy in modding the broken game actively. I still do some stuff but not release it. If something changes, I'll gladly return to the active modding, but now I feel like I should change the priorities and improve other parts of my life first.

The best mod for Rome Remastered ! The only problem is that skirmishers have way too much ammunition and the melee units with throwing ability are also way to strong and I think only roman units should have armor piercing throwing ammunition and a bit less soldier in one units, Im playing on ultra unit size and lets say Greek units have 254 in a unit Romans have the same but I think Romans should have 50 less. Will you guys ad more factions btw ?

Hello Lanjane, I like the mod. However, after the initial fights in Italy, nothing big happens. There is very little going on. Are you planing to change some of the many rebel regions to actual factions, especially around the Adriatic sea?
In my plays, the rebels do not attack each other. Doing nothing. Just waiting for Rome to show up.
Other surrounding factions are too weak or attacking other faction, but there are to few.
Just a question!

Hello Lanjane,

Thank you for clarification. I appreciate it!

I do not think there are any errors. I`ve missed checking the top level mercenary buildings, however, I`ve located both the Cretan archers and Rhodes slingers after the another try.

Great! Time to get busy :-)

@lavrval Hello!
There may be differences in recruitment options/regional recruitment between mods, some intentional, some due to errors/overlooks, I think this one might be the latter unless you checked the Mercenary Center building chain for those regions and they are not there

Hello Lanjane,

Thank you for these mods!

I play BE HL and start playing Barbarian Empires (Open Beta 2) to enjoy both of these mods.

Just to make sure I got this right, Barbarian Empires (Open Beta 2) does not offer the Cretan archers and Rhodes slingers for recruitment. They are available as mercenaries only, is it correct?

Personally I don't like more turns per year scripts because they break some important aspects of the gameplay and seriously affect the mid/late game in a bad way. But I understand why people might like to have longer living generals and such
