The TT mod has now been updated to cover the "Legions Triumphant" and "Age of Belisarius" DLCs.

In addition to the new armies and units for the new periods, the original TT Mod armies and units have had many improvements, additions and corrections. I have attempted to keep track of all the changes, and you can find a full list within the mod folder, it is far too long to print here!

Due to all the changes, this new version of the mod will probably be incompatible with any TT Mod campaigns that you are currently playing, so please finish them before installing this version of the Mod. Similarly, please finish any current MP games you may be playing before deleting the old version of the TT Mod.

Even though the full list of features is too long to reproduce here, the "headlines" are these:

Nearly all stock armies in Field of Glory II have been reworked with new units and textures.

Many generic units have been retextured to give army specific versions. New units to receive this treatment include Imitation Legionaries and Elephants.

Many new army lists have been created, and existing generic army lists split into several new ones.

New African armies for the Blemmye, Nobatae, Axumite, and Meroe.

The Sassanid armies now feature Clibanarii horse archers on half armoured horses. These do not evade. This is in response to the comments of some players who were unhappy with the vanilla evading heavy horse archer units.

An alternative Alexandrian Macedonian army list has been included with the Hypaspists classed as Superior Medium Foot Offensive Spearmen. This is for those players who disagree with their vanilla classification as Pikemen.

Much more visual variety has been given to the warband armies, with distinctive models and textures for Gaesatae, Early and Late Germanic warbands, Visigoths, and Franks. The vanilla warband textures remain for the Gauls, but have been retextured to remove the helmets.

The full list of all the new armies added (in addition to all the stock armies that come with the official DLCs):

"Roman 24 BC - 99 AD",
"Roman (Otho) 69 AD - 69 AD",
"Roman (Vitellius) 69 AD - 69 AD",

"Paionian 350 BC - 25 AD",
"Kyrenean Greek 321-276 BC",
"Kyrenean Greek 275-74 BC",
"Libyan 550-221 BC",
"Roman (Liberators) 42 BC - 42 BC",
"Illyrian (Bardyllis in Epiros) 385 BC - 385 BC",
"Germanic Foot Tribes 105 BC - 24 AD",
"Germanic Foot Tribes 25 AD - 259 AD",
"Civilis Revolt Germanic 69 AD - 69 AD",

The mod is now too large to download through the game, so I have Mediafire links and installation instructions below. The original version of the mod will still be available to download through the game, please don't get the two confused! The new version has a different named folder, so it is possible to have both versions of the mod installed if you wish, but I would recommend deleting the old TT Mod folder, once you have finished all outstanding games, it will save a lot of disk space!

Thank you matlegob, for all your help.

Thanks very much for the effort put into this. I really appreciate it.

I spent a lot of time trying to make sense of the instructions as this version of Windows (10) doesn't have a My Documents folder but worked it out in the end with the help of Google.

I presume if all is well I can manually delete the other TT folders in

C:\Users\[abbreviatedusername]\Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2\CAMPAIGNS and C:\Users\[abbreviatedusername]\Documents\My Games\FieldOfGlory2\MULTIPLAYER

Yes, you can delete the old TT Mod folders if you have no outstanding games that you want to finish.

Whoops, Paul it looks like the Dropbox link has already hit its max downloads for the day! Can't wait to try this out, the TT mod makes FOG2 practically a new game! I've been a fan of your stuff back to the NYW and GNW scenarios for P&S.

Maximum Downloads for the day? I did not know about that, have you any idea how many that is?

There may be a problem with using Dropbox. I have just received an email from them saying that my public links have been suspended due to excessive traffic!

Luckily, I have just remembered that I have an old Mediafire account, I've not used it for nearly two years! I will try to move the files over to Mediafire and post the new links tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay.

I spent quite a while trying to get this working last night, what I ended up doing was. 1, download the new files and put them on my desktop. 2, open the files and copying the contents into the original tt mod files located in the MULTIPLAYER and CAMPAIGNS folders respectively. First time I tried, I deleted the original files and replaced them with the new ones and it didn't work at all, so I think you still need the original files.

Not sure what went wrong when you tried it, but you don't need any of the original files.

Please ignore my last post, it's rubbish. I've now got it working. I used a different zip extractor program. And it seems originally it was creating a folder within another folder and it was that which caused the confusion on my part. Now i've deleted the original tt mod files and replaced them with the new ones and it's working perfectly. Sorry for spreading mis-information.

Just a quick post to let you know what is going on with the links.

I have been suspended from Dropbox for excessive traffic, so the Dropbox links above are probably not working at the moment.

I am trying to put together Mediafire links to replace these. Last night I managed to upload TT Mod Campaigns to Mediafire. I then tried to upload TT Mod Custom battles, but it seemed to get stuck on the last stage, and after a couple of hours I had to give up and go to bed!

I am currently uploading Custom battles again, and it is going much faster this time. Once that is done I will try to upload TT Mod MP Custom Battles.

When all three are up, I will post the links in the first post and remove the Dropbox links.

cheers


Paul

All three Mediafire links are now available in the first post!

Thank you very much!

Great job mate, well done

If I try to make a custom battle with Mountain Indians an error occurs:

Empty string trying to find string value: ALLIES1 in .../ARMYLIST.TXT (0)

Anyone else getting this?

Thanks for identifying this, it is a bug, I will fix it for the next update.

Until I issue the next version of the mod, and correct this little problem I would advise all players to avoid battles or campaigns involving the Mountain Indians and the Saka. The Saka have the Mountain Indians as allies, so a campaign may crash if the game calls on the Mountain Indians for a stage of the campaign.

Edit: I have just checked the original version of the TT Mod, and the error was in that as well. It's a wonder no one has mentioned it till now!

Ah, the Mountain Indians. Somehow I have neglected them

Thank you for the great mod. What base army list would you say has seen the most modification? I keep switching back and forth to compare.

Probably the Jewish Revolt and Late Roman armies have the most differences from the stock versions.
