Announcement!-Beta 0.1 tomarrow!
Tomarrow, I intend to release beta version 0.1. This version does not include the new map, as I haven't had time to fiddle with it in a while, but it will include the following:
*New scenario: War of the Maccabees-Lead the Judeans to freedom from the Seleucid Empire. Starts in 167 BC/587 AUC.
*New Scenario-John Hyrcanus-Fight back a new Seleucid invasion, and crush the Judean rebels under Ptolemy
*New Hasamonean family tree & new Judeans-Including Judah Maccabee, Jonathan Maccabee, Mattathis Maccabee, Ptolemy, et al.
*Realistic population data for Judea
*4 New forms of government-I will tell you 1, but the rest you will have to wait and see
*Revised names for all positions in Judea, e.g. Nasi, Chancellor, Segan, etc.
*Seperate version compatible with the Epigoni Mod
*The new form of Government is Jewish Monarchy, it gives 1 military NI, 1 civic NI (or economic-I forgot) and 2 religous NI. The benefit it provides is 15% bonus to discipline (representing the deep determination the jewish rebels had in fighting the Seleucids & other invaders). The title for a male leader is Kohen Gadol & Malkia (High Priest and King). For female it is Malka (Queen). This represents the system of government whereby the High Priest was simultaneously the king.
