He and the like were banned from everywhere for starting to create a mod BETTER than what Creative Assembly could create with the still unreleased Rome II. We are just lucky to have it here.
@banzai014 HEGEMON v3.0 "Beyond the Danube" is out now (check video info for link)), consisting of a move to Stainless Steel 6.4 with its improved features, less CTDs and new German, Dacian, Bosporan and Scythian units!
for those who want similar graphics there is a mod called Roma Surrectum II for RTW which brings the M2TW graphics engines into RTW. While not quite the same the effect is a beautiful mod for those interested in an enhanced ancient experiance. At least until R2TW comes out next year :D
@Patrickallday inside that folder i pasted all the individual folders that were extracted from the hegemon folder which was on the desktop. it would be there with ss_launcher and ss_setup and the individual setup folders. Once that is done you should see a file that has MS_DOS batch file. Click that for it to run. If it crashes a couple of times its normal. Fricking annoying though. I will be installing it again on my new computer so if you have more problems i'll try help you as best as i can.
Yes. Some mods completely change the game within certain limits. Think of it like a free expansion pack. They will not overwrite your game but make a backup folder just in case. I have hundreds of mods installed for M2TW and RTW and they give you hundreds of hours of enjoyment.
I'm reaching out to everyone who downloaded the latest version of this mod (v3.01) when it was still available. It looks like twcenter might be willing to let this mod be published on their site once again. Honesty and time heal all wounds, and I believe good people shouldn't hold grudges.
@Patrickallday right okay i use winrar but thats just for the compressing and unpacking of those files. Once you've got winrar i chose to extract those files to the desktop then i went to 1. computer, hard drive C, program files, sega, medieval 2 total war then went to my MODS section. 2. there should be a SS6.3 if you've installed stainless steel 6.4 (this is only what i can tell from my experience installing it)
@ Banzai I went to the download link in the video description, downloaded the mod patch, installed M2TW kingdoms expansion pack to My Medieval 2 total war game, extracted the mode patch mentioned above and copied the SS.3 to the modes folder of kingdoms, but when I double click on the (Stainless_Steel_Kingdoms.bat) I see the loading screen of ancient wars mode for some seconds then it crashed to the desktop with no errors !!
Hey all, the download link above provides BOTH hegemon 3.0 + 3.01, so you have all you need for this submod; Banzai, correct me if I'm wrong about this. Don't forget that it's a submod for the larger mod Stainless Steel 6.4. YES, there is a Campaign.
The Ptolemies were actually a Macedonian royal house like the Seleucids.They fought against the Seleucids like all the Diadochoi (succesor) kingdoms. They just adopted the title Pharaoh. Despite that however his comment didnt make sense since the armies of Egypt remained pretty much the same.
@banzai014 Patch v3.0.1 is out (check video info for link) with updated and more stable battle AI, ancillary system for characters, more custom battle locations and battle banners. v3.0.1 is confirmed working with custom battle and campaign mode.
Here is an installation guide for this mod: * First of all, you must have SS6.4, and if u want to play both Hegemon Ancient Wars and SS6.4 u have to install two folder mod and rename one of these to " Stailess Steel 6.4" (the original name is "SS.6.3) Step 1:Delete the contents of Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\loading_screen directory if you do not want Medieval-themed loading screens to appear Step 2: Download this mod using the mega link: mega.co.nz/#!rlxSwCzS!ZU6UOXvuWXEZdtnhz6_j1Wy5CgYdG63jaUT9iIUPAiA Step 3: When the dowload finished, you need to extract the file "hegemon31.7z" Step4: Copy folder "Medieval 2 Total War" to your game folder. EX: E:/Medieval 2 Total War . The computer will ask for replace, click "Yes to all" Waiting for it. Step 5: delete the map.rwm from world\maps\campaign\custom\Hegemon_Campaign DONE. To run the mod double click Stainless_Steel_Kingdoms.bat located in the Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\ folder. It is recommended you create a desktop shortcut of this file to make starting HEGEMON up easier. NOTE: #1. DO NOT USE MONSTER BOMBARD, SUPER SPARTAN, MORTAL, OR ANY UNIT COME FROM LATER AGE. THE MOD WILL CRASH #2. IN CUSTOM BATTLE PLEASE SELECT "LATE" CLASS TO PLAY, IF YOU CHOOSE EARLY OR ALL CLASS, THE MOD WILL CRASH
Anyone know the songs used in this video? All would be great but I'm particularly fond of the last one which serves as the backdrop music to the Greek vs. (I'm making an assumption here) Seleukids.
i recognize some models and skins from a game called rise and fall: civilizations at war they really look great lets hope the mod don t gets copyright problems
Ok, i get it running, but still i have a really annoying issue. Everytime when i am make a custom battle the game crash ( after selecting the Factions) and there appears a Error.
This looks really awesome!!! I never tried SS since I sticked to DLV. I will obviously try this asap now :D Just tell me, is there a campaign? And why arent you guys hosting your mod over at TWC?
you should be lucky to see it being re-released. if you care at all about modding, you'll be able to make any adjustments required to suit your historicity needs.
Can anyone provide a link to a overall view of factions for this game please. Like a list of faction names, the different units belonging to that faction, faction strengths and weaknesses and ect?
Very nice. I liked rice and fall al lot, especialy the player models. So them being blended in (correct me if I'm wrong) very nice. But at the forum: why mammoths and altair?? Is that standalone funsubmods or in the actual mod....
@Solalee1 i download 2.1 and 2.2 but it doesn't show me anything!i have MTW2K but I have stainlees steel 6.4. is it neccecary to have 6.1 to play this mod?why does it not show me anything now?:/
@Solalee1 well could you please show me the details of how you installed this mod.I've download the mod but I don't know how to continioune:/ if you could please help:/
@uchihazaraki if the game crashes trying to load the custom battle or campaign, try restarting the game. It may take several tries. Are you using Steam? I have tested HEGEMON 3.0 on a fresh install of Stainless Steel 6.4 with a boxed install of M2TW and I can play custom battles and campaign just fine.
Does the download also include SS 6.3? I just extract this downlaod to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods and then i install the SS 6.4 on it. ( I have steam as you see, i deleted this map world\maps\campaign\custom\Hegemon_Campaign) I cant get Ancient War running. It crashes always at the loading screen. Pls help me and maybe you know what i did wrong.
Is it possible to activate the Tortudos formation with Roman units in Hegemon Ancien Wars Mod ? Just like in Rome : Total War the first ? Ain't worth it otherwise :P ! The whole roman army s worth playing it if we're able to use their combat techniques.
ive already download hegemon v3.0 and installed on stainless steel v6.4.. tried the campaign and custom both crash with the message "mtw2 uncounted an unspecified error occur and will now exit" been searching for this type of for 2 years, i really want to play this mod..
@banzai014 I have a fresh install of SS 6.4 but game still crashes, I have deleted the bin files and map.rwm but still crashes......I don´t understand why you can´t make a stable mod once and for all
Can anyone tell me how to install in step by step, since I'm very confused... does the download include SS6.3 already? And why is the folder when first unzipped call "Medieval 2 Total War"? And when I unzip into the Medieval 2 Total War folder, it gives me tons of errors... help.
Hey, Iv tried really hard to find a download link for this mod all over google and torrents, I finally found one at FileFront but my luck back fired when it said the file could not be found. I really want to play this mod, Its the kind of era id like to start a campaign, I have the original mastered id say. And does this mod include the congest over Brittani? I had RomeTotal war, But i wasent much for that (graphic reasons) I would be thankful for any help regards to a Download link. Thanks
although this mod looks nice and units are not bad I think it's not worth installing coz u can not start custom battle and it causes crashes in other mods (I noticed that probably the javelin units in Third Age Total War crashed the whole game just after adding some javelin data files to total war directory, although they used to work smoothly before, now I'll have to figure out how to fix Third Age too :S)
So is this a submod for a mod? This is so awesome. This has set the standards for Rome 2 Total War, and it(R2TW game) should be better than this. More power to the people who made this.
It looks like a fun fantasy mod with the bronze age Egyptian units fighting against imperial roman legions
He and the like were banned from everywhere for starting to create a mod BETTER than what Creative Assembly could create with the still unreleased Rome II.
We are just lucky to have it here.
Found my copy of the mod. Updated video description with working download links + install instructions.
I can't extract the files...Any help?Thank you
Whoa, finally! I've been looking for a proper M2TW classical era mod for a looooong time
If you didn't know, EB2 is a mod set in the ancient era in Medieval 2 Total War that is supposed to come out before Rome 2 so...
Yes. Just in case you don't know, stainless steel is a mod for Medieval 2 Total War: Kingdoms.
Game modders are some truely admirable hackers. It's like a Rome Total War 1.5 while waiting for ROME II
@banzai014 HEGEMON v3.0 "Beyond the Danube" is out now (check video info for link)), consisting of a move to Stainless Steel 6.4 with its improved features, less CTDs and new German, Dacian, Bosporan and Scythian units!
looks like a really good mod, nice work on the trailer
for those who want similar graphics there is a mod called Roma Surrectum II for RTW which brings the M2TW graphics engines into RTW. While not quite the same the effect is a beautiful mod for those interested in an enhanced ancient experiance.

I will be installing it again on my new computer so if you have more problems i'll try help you as best as i can.
This was on a game that was released in 2006, just imagine what creative assembly can do with Rome 2 Total War...
IS IN THE MAKING
What can be better than a Total War game ? A Total War mod !
Yes. Some mods completely change the game within certain limits. Think of it like a free expansion pack. They will not overwrite your game but make a backup folder just in case. I have hundreds of mods installed for M2TW and RTW and they give you hundreds of hours of enjoyment.

+banzai014 that would be freaking cool! :)
@Patrickallday right okay i use winrar but thats just for the compressing and unpacking of those files. Once you've got winrar i chose to extract those files to the desktop then i went to

That was an excellent video! Good job!

Yep,and it's EPIC.The player will acctualy be able to land ships while in real time battles,something I have been hoping they woud do :D
Yeah, CA have announced it to arrive in late 2013 :D
You can check it out at total war center or Total war dot com
@Longmachao there is a regional campaign covering tunisia, italy, greece and the balkans
The video is so amazing, it's a real shame that the actual mod doesn't live up to it's reputation.
You do know that Egypt was conquered by Alexander and hellenized by he's succesor Ptolemy Soter. Alexander also took the title of pharao
Here is an installation guide for this mod:
* First of all, you must have SS6.4, and if u want to play both Hegemon Ancient Wars and SS6.4 u have to install two folder mod and rename one of these to " Stailess Steel 6.4" (the original name is "SS.6.3)

Step4: Copy folder "Medieval 2 Total War" to your game folder. EX: E:/Medieval 2 Total War . The computer will ask for replace, click "Yes to all"
Waiting for it.

1:47 "our leader lives, dont you see? you didnt killed him" corpse on the chariots :D
this is absolutely awesome, where can i find this mode?
first RTW was epic and best game in series so far no contest.
Anyone know the songs used in this video? All would be great but I'm particularly fond of the last one which serves as the backdrop music to the Greek vs. (I'm making an assumption here) Seleukids.
looks awesome!

I imagine the greeks would be in it or the ancient babylonions maybe even the Atlantians.
This looks really awesome!!!
I never tried SS since I sticked to DLV.
I will obviously try this asap now :D
Just tell me, is there a campaign? And why arent you guys hosting your mod over at TWC?
