Making Colonization Campaign in Spartan

[Jar-Tur]

Hi to all.

Is it possible to make GoT-esque Greek Colonization campaign in Spartan, with most of greek lands being independent?

I just was recalling hard where I had seen this intriguing campaign, and in result I've made a wrong choice having bought Spartan, not GoT... And now my treasury (and my wife, of course ) doesn't allow me to grab GoT too...

Thanks in advance.

Argh, down with the budget! Gates of Troy is mine now, it's mine, my preccciousss...

So, if I understand correctly, I should install it in the separate directory and I'll can play Spartan maps (installed in Spartan folder respectively) via GoT, right?

Hi,

There is actually a way to implement the colonization campaign without Gates of Troy. But it is VERY tedious and not to mention, time-consuming. All you needed to do is to edit the text files in the campaign folder. Namely, sides.txt, armies.txt and cities.txt but making a back-up copy before doing this, of course. (I may have missed one or two more text files you'd have to edit) But if you're to edit the grand campaign and make it equivalent to the colonization campaign in Gates of Troy, it'll be nerve-wracking to do so!

And still, it may not be exactly the same because both Spartan and Gates of Troy have different ethnic groups and sets of units (I'm making a guess here as I DID take a look at Gates of Troy - I mean, GoT even have heroes! )

EDIT: Now I GOT GoT, I can see now that the colonisation campaign features the same ethnic groups/tribes as in Spartan's grand campaign, so it's extremely possible to make the same feature in Spartan.
