Welcome to the first Validus Romanorum Release. This is a mod for BI, and its aim is to make gameplay more historically accurate. The mod will include complete re-do's for all factions, as well as a new map (see the Fall of the Empire map thread in the Forge), and will have unit cards and descriptions etc, and hopefully also some new animations and features. This is the first release for the mod, so, I hope you like it!

Klieggruppe:

These are the standard tribesmen, mere farmers called up to war. Despite their lack of training and arms, they are decent soldiers thanks to their tough lifestyle. These men are poorly disciplined, and will not hesitate to flee if the battle is not going their way.

These men come from the lower levels of barbarian society. They have some basic training, but apart from their large shields they have no protection in battle. These men have a lot to prove, so they can be impetuous, although their lack of experience means they can flee just as willingly as they charge!

https://img220.imageshack.us/img220/1594/heavyspearmen5kf.th.jpg (https://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=heavyspearmen5kf.jpg)
These men were once in the ranks of the Stange Solduri, but have improved their status through several battles. They are well disciplined, and wear a helmet and breastplate for protection. They also have a large shield, making them strong defensive units.
Klinge Solduri:
https://img220.imageshack.us/img220/1335/swordsmen5ei.th.jpg (https://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=swordsmen5ei.jpg)
These are respected men in barbarian society. They are courageous warriors, although somewhat ill-disciplined. They wield great swords, and carry a medium-sized shield. Thier only armour is, however, only a small breastplate.
Hinterhalt Solduri:
https://img414.imageshack.us/img414/1613/ambushers6hk.th.jpg (https://img414.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ambushers6hk.jpg)
These men come mostly from woodland areas, and are expert hunters. They are superb ambushers, and can hide almost anywhere. They are primarily shock troops, as they have a disturbing appearance, and their axes and strong charge make them a great offensive unit.
Machtigmanner:
https://img414.imageshack.us/img414/2991/greatmen5zy.th.jpg (https://img414.imageshack.us/my.php?image=greatmen5zy.jpg)
These are men of great physical size and strenght. They wield their double-handed axes with incredible and power, making them truly fearsome opponents. These men are lightly armoured, although they care little for their personal safety when the rage of battle takes them!

https://img465.imageshack.us/img465/3462/suebiberserkers3vc.th.jpg (https://img465.imageshack.us/my.php?image=suebiberserkers3vc.jpg)
These men are truly fearless and insane. Fear means nothing to them. They charge blindly at any foes and any number of them, caring less about thier own safety than how many enemy heads they can take. These men strike fear into the hearts of enemies, and can endure combat for long periods of time thanks to their physical strenght.
Werfende Stange:
https://img210.imageshack.us/img210/5863/skirmishers0ml.th.jpg (https://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=skirmishers0ml.jpg)
These are the younger warriors from the barbarian tribes. Their purpose is not mainly to fight in melee, but rather to harass slower enemies and support their fellow warriors with hails of javelins from behind. These men are, however, untrained and often flee when in trouble.
Bogenschutzen:
https://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2662/archers0dm.th.jpg (https://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=archers0dm.jpg)
These men are skilled hunters, and have become expert in using the bow and arrow, as it is necessary to put food on their plates. These men can only expect to inflict light casualties except against the weakest of opponents, although a lifetime spent hunting has made them good ambushers.
Gewahlt Bogenschutzen:
https://img225.imageshack.us/img225/2217/chosenarchers9wj.th.jpg (https://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?image=chosenarchers9wj.jpg)
These men are selected from the ranks of the Bogenschutzen. They are the elite archers, and as a reward are given more powerful bows, as well as a breastplate and small golden band to protect them in battle. These warriors are still, however, best kept out of melee combat.
Helle Reiter:
https://img225.imageshack.us/img225/9560/cavalry6yf.th.jpg (https://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cavalry6yf.jpg)
These are light horsemen. They have a powerful charge, but are best kept out of prolonged melee combat due to their lack of armour. These horsemen are best for chasing down fleeing enemies or harassing opponents.
Schnelle Reiter:
https://img419.imageshack.us/img419/3114/skirmishercavalry2wg.th.jpg (https://img419.imageshack.us/my.php?image=skirmishercavalry2wg.jpg)
These horsemen are excellent for harassing enemies with their javelins. They are extremely quick on the battlefield, and can run rings round enemy infantry while peppering them with javelins. These horsemen should, however, be kept out of melee combat, and are extremely vulnerable to enemy missiles.
