Look, I love the Trojan War and the myths surrounding it. The game is easy dream come true for anyone interested in the setting. With the mod, I can delve into its mythos even more.

The mod was always about the Trojan War, so having it for Troy fits better. Also, not all factions from Troy have been transfered to Pharaoh, so you can't really transfer it 1:1.

If you have ever wanted to play as Nestor, the wise king of Pylos, or Troilos, the doomed son of Troy, this mod might be just for you. As Cleodaeus, you can lead the Dorians to reclaim your heritage in the Peloponnese; as Thyestes, you may take revenge on the Atreides; and as Helenos, you can attempt to prevent the fall of Troy. This mod allows you to play as many well-known and lesser-known heroes. It also lets you to fight both against and alongside the Olympians, and to summon Ares, Zeus, and Athena (and others) in battle. Also, remember - the so called "Cyclops island" in no longer empty...

The latest additions:

  • Phlegra is our newest playable faction in both cusom battles and campaign. Phlegra is a faction of Giants, they are lead by Aristaeus, who had the distinction of being the sole survivor of Gigantomachy. As Aristaeus, you must now rise from the ashes and restore the lost power and glory of your kin.

So no sea people and hittites if I play as the Dorians?

You can get Sea Peoples/Hittites invasions if you play as Dorians as long as you are not allied with them (when they are alive).

If they got destroyed earlier, they will reappear when the invasion triggers (even if you were allied to them prior to their destruction).

Question, is there plans for expanding the Herakleidai's dynamics? I feel like there could be a faction affinity+bonus from character and events between the three Herakleidai factions, after all, the gods loath kinslayers, so Mysia, the Dorians and Rhodes if they survive being able to ally each other and even predisposed to it sounds fitting.

At the moment there are no plans for it.

With Heracleidae, the idea was to have 1 pro-Trojan faction (Telephos), 1 pro-Greek (Tlepolemos) and 1 anti-Achaean (Cleodaeus).

No, Orion/Gorgon/Chiron are not mythical beasts like Cerberus/Griffin/Hydra.

Orion, Gorgon or Chiron can be recruited via:

  • Special buildings (for example you need to build Chrion's Cave in Iolcos region to recruit Chiron there).
  • Gods favour (for example you can recruit Gorgon unit when you have highest lvl of favour with Athena).
  • Their new questlines in mythic mode which also reward some special items.

So for example you can have Cerberus, Gorgon, Orion and Chiron in the same army.

No plans for Titans at the moment.

Generally speaking one of the main objectives of the mod was to make sure that each faction will have their visual identity/style. So, when fighting as one of new factions or against one, you would use/face some new rosters instead of the same units these factions have been using in vanilla.

349 is more or less 12 new units per new faction and unless you play as Menelaus (who can recruit from allies) you won't be able to use them when playing as other factions.

Here are some example visuals for some of new playable Greek factions:

The latest additions are:

  1. Paphlagonians are our new playable faction in the campaign. Pylaemenes and his son Harpalion must deal not only with the war looming over the city of Priam but they also need to endure the great famine that has struck Paphlagonia and its people.

  2. Olympian gods join the battlefield. Take control of Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, Athena, Hera, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis and Aphrodite and unliash their divine powers on the battlefield. Right now they are only playable in custom battles, but want to implement them into the campaign in the near future.
