    Ok since everyone cares about history Ill just lay down the no crap facts. 300 Spartans head north to the hot gates in Thermopolae, Greece. They meat up with 700 Thespians. On just the first day of battle nearly 10,000 Persian light infantry lay dead and very few Spartans dead. Nearby down the coast almost 200 Athenian ships were attacking a much larger Persian fleet and won. The retreating Persian ships ere crushed by a storm. On the second day Xerses or however you spell it sent in 10,000 Immortals which actually are called that since when one was killed he was immediatly replaced. The Thesians helped the Spartans in this battle and slaughtered the immortals too. On the third day the Thespians retreated and the remaining Spartans made their final stand. First the Spartans were flanked which cause their lines to break.Many died then Leonides was killed by and arrow volley. The Spartans all died defending his body but were slaughtered. Nearly 20,000 Pesians were killed along with the 300 Spartans. The Persian army then went to and burned Athens to the ground. The war lasted for 50 more years. i also heard some commotion below about the Spartan armor. The wear a red cloak, a brass armor vest, a bronze helmet , a cutlass sword, a spear, greives, a broze sheild painted with a custom painting symbol on the front, and sandles. So I hope this gives you some real information. Sry this comment is so long but I just had to make my point . This map does work if you follow Nakedsnake's directions but it does not come with the character models unless someone can tell me how.

    Ok for everyones info the amount of men that was actually there was far less than you lot are making out, yes many other greek nations came to thermopylae and aided the spartans for the first day, but overall the fighting was done by the 300 who lasted three days before being destroyed then a year later at platea 10000spartans fought wiv and overall army of 38000 greeks and whiped out the reminder of the persian army. this has been proven by historians.

    Okay, I must have dozed off or something while I was watching 300 - I seem to have forgotten the part where the Persians shoot up the vertical wall... It looks good, plays terrible.

    Big problem is that all the men climb up the mountain! Not a very good map. Good try though.

    You are all wrong about the historical accuract. There was 2800 pelopenesians or 4000 by herodotus. 300 Spartan Hippeis, 1000 phocians, 700 thracians and 10, 000 greeks in total. 200, 000 persians were lead by xerxes, darius's son. The fleet had never arrived at thermopylae, Athenian ships blocked them. The 300 hippeis didn't wear their scarlet cloaks in battle, the took them off. Leonardoes fell in battle and they had to fight over his body. The imortals were attcking from south. YOU all are wrong about this battle, did you even read about this or did you guess and read 1 scentece about it?

    Skycloudy orginial Post
    Step1: Go to My computer

    Step2:Go to Local

    Step3:Go to Program File

    Step4:Go to "The Creative Assembly" Folder

    Step5:Go to the FOLDER that said "Rome - Total War"

    Step6:Go to the FOLDER that said "Data"

    Step7:Go to the Folder that said "World"

    Step8:Go to the Folder that said "Maps"

    Step9:Go to the Folder that said "battle"

    Step10:Go the Folder that said "Custom"

    Now that you have found the Target to download it in now all you need to do is extract the folder into the Folder Custom ( that the folder i guide you threw the 10 step.)

    Extract the folder that said 300 by Zerthamel.
    ONTO YOUR DESKTOP NOT YOUR FILE YOUR DESKTOP

    GO INTO THE FOLDER ON YOUR DESKTOP THAT SAID "300 by Zerthamel"

    (THIS IS THE PART THAT SCREW ME UP SINCE I DONT KNOW WHAT THE H3LL TO DO)

    Anyway, When you go into the folder there should be a bunch a picture
    you can set one ask your desktop if you like kinda sexy.

    OK JUST DRAG THE FOLDER THAT SAID "300"The Hot Gate" to your Folder the one i guide you threw the 10 step

    Well if you dont know where too find the battle you should check under Historical Battle there should be one that said Thermopylae3'

    anyway if your picky like i am that the name isnt spell right go to the folder 300 The Hot Gate

    Click on the Text Notepad that said descr_battle there should be something there that said Thermopylae3

    just replace the 3 in Thermopylae3 to Thermopylaes

    Anyway now you can enjoy thanks to Zerthamel

    I am sorry for the cliffs thing honest half of the month I spent working on this map was trying to fix the walls but the harder setting its on the more likely they will not climb the hills so keep that in mind

    DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS MAP! It is crap, the unit models are screwed up and the cliffs act like normal terrrain, so when the units go near the cliffs, they actually CLIMB 10,000 feet in the air in 3 seconds. Also when units go near the cliff, their models stretch 100x and mess up the terrain.

    DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS CRAPPY INCOMPLETE MAP!
