- Save Game Compatible.

Hello everyone! This mod has been updated!

Please also check out my new mods for Warhammer 3.



This large mod for Pontus adds 19 new units and 3 reskins. As always this mod aims to add some much needed variety to the game and improve gameplay while also staying true to history.

Pontus was a hybrid nation, its cities were Greek and its nobles were Persian, inland it was home to ancient Anatolians and newly arrived Celts. It was deeply influenced by it's allies and its rivals with Armenia, Macedon, the Euxine cities, the steppe tribes and Rome leaving their mark - its greatest leader, Mithridates the Great, would use all of this in his struggle against Rome. This mod will attempt to recreate this rich period while preserving Pontus' existing strengths and weaknesses. Pontus is an all rounder, but doesn't really excel in any particular area. A clever general will need to use it's phalanxes, light spearmen, swordsmen, and capable cavalry in unison in order to succeed.

Special thanks go to Rex Imperator, Marshall of France and The Chocolate Jesus for researching and testing this mod.


New Units Include:

CAVALRY
1) Armenian Cataphracts
2) Pontic Lancers

15) Pontic Royal Swordsmen
16) Galatian Chosen Swordsmen
17) Pontic Legionnaries - Upgraded from Pontic Swordsmen
18) Galatian Swordsmen

RESKINS

hi,
does this mod and the complete unit mod for all factions work with any of the x2 unit size mod?

@Sebidee Hey mate, I love ur mods and espasally this one for Pontus, since I am a big fan of Pontus location and the unique Mix between Greek, Eastern, Celtic and Steppe units. The only sad thing is, those awesome galation choosen swords and kimmerian Archers are limited to 8 units per campaign. Is there a way arround that?
