Rise of the Titans (Part 1)

Description
Do you want to use the best Warriors of the ancient time, those who were capable of conquering Hellas and defeating the biggest empire of its time, the Achaemenid Dinasty, without losing any batlle? Well, becouse this mod will provide you the soldiers under the command of Philip II and Alexander the Great.

Is the year 356 BCE, take the command of Philip II of Makedonia, the man who revolutionized combat in Hellas by providing his soldiers a 6 meter long pike (sarissa) and managed to put all his neighbors to their knees.
Then, you will have to play as his son, Alexander III of Makedonia, known as "the great", since he managed to conquer the Achaemenid Empire and the Punyab without loosing a single battle. Will you be able to recreate the deeds of these two kings? Only you can tell.

The mod includes an overhaul of all the units of the game, apart of introducing new ones, such as the generals and kings. The soldiers have been reskinned to look like in the mid 4th Century BCE, but if you want to play with other factions and in more centuries, I recommend you to play my other mod called Imperivm.
The animation for the pikes have been slighly changed, now there are 4 pikemen with the pikes lowered instead of 3 like in the base game, and the syntagmas (pike units) are formed by 256 men.

***DISCLAIMER***

-In order to play the mod, you have to activate the Part 1, 2, 3 and 4, and then ***ONLY ONE*** of the campaigns, either the one of Alexander or Philip. Why you may ask? Well, the game crash if you activate both at the same time.

-To play the one of Philip you need the DLC Wrath of Sparta.

-You can start playing one, save your progression, and activate the other campaign without problem, your saves won´t be lost nor corrupted, but make sure you activate the mod of the campaing you want to play.

-I recommend playing Custom Battles with the Alexander´s Campaing mod activated, basically because the Kingdom of Kamboia is including, the rest is the same.

*******
The reason I did this mod is because I found weird that there wasn´t any mod in the workshop based on Philip´s and Alexander´s campaigns with period accurate uniforms, so, to create it, I have mixed a lot of assets from a lot of different mods and also two campaign mods, so I would like to give credit to a lot of modders for their contribution to this extraordinary community:

-Divide et Impera team: for their helmets, shields, tunics, armours, etc. Reccomended checking their mod.
-KLA: for his helmets and armours.
-KAZ: for his argead star shields.
-EuroCentric and Gyrosmeister: for their Rise of Makedon campaing (Philip campaign)
-Cyrus the Great: for his Alexander Hellenic Campaign (Alexander Campaing)
-AdoPotato: for his macedonian linothorax.

If any of you have some really cool helmets, armours, etc from this time period, just tell me and I will gladly add them while giving you the credit for it.

I would recommend you playing the mod in english, because the name of the new units won´t appear if you don´t.

The mod IS NOT COMPATIBLE with any other one, so don´t even try it or the game will crash.

Just write in the comment section of Part 1 about bugs and things like that, so other people will read them too, and will be less chaotic.

Hope you enjoy it.
