what have you changed so far? if you narrow down the playing field, the ctd will be much easier to find and fix!

Caius

I was changing everything, I unificated the Romans and the Greeks, but I dont know where is the problem!

ok. the roman armies as well as the egyptian armies have been made into full stacks. the roman armies are based off typical legions. we still have yet to unite the barbarians. we will add more mercenaries to the game, and add 2 new units to the barbarian roster, maybe more. any feedback?

edit: oh, and iberia will now be carthage as ways of culture go, while dacia will take the place of spain in the major BARBARIAN faction.

update time: all factions now have full stack armies with the exception the barbarians, armenia, numidia, and scythia. i think greek cities will be able to over power any other faction at the beginning of the game. i have changed some things, so now the eastern infantry have more defense and a bit higher morale. while their is a second desert infantry for the numidians, now with phalanx formation, 60 men in each group, and they are more densly packed.
NOTE:

Does anyone have textures for parthian cataphract archers and heavy eastern infantry? we would like to put those in the mod for parthians, but need the skins.

any feed back so far?

If you unpack everything in the Data\packs folder you get the textures I think. Use Vercingetorix's Xpak.

It looks cool!!

Im not sure about Photoshop but Irfan View can open the files. I think it is freeware, all you have to do is google it.

Good luck

Added the mini legion mod.

Roman_Man#3

ok. basically, the legion mini mod, gives the greek citiy states the option of legionaries in regions influenced by roman rule that is controlled by the greeks. if i can figure it out, when a general conquers a roman town, he will get the ancillary or trait of ROMAN LEGIONARY. this trait will give this specific general and any other with the same trait to be able to train roman cohort. i should be able to get the skins. does any one think that the trait and ancillary idea will work/not work? any help will be appretiated. If the trait/ancillary doesnt work, i will make it so these greek legionaries will be able to be trained in areas influenced by roman rule in history.

ave fellow romans!

the greek city states will be completly reskinned using Kallikratis' HOPLITAI v.1.0. it includes reskinned greek city units (even though they are based on classical greece, i still think they are awesome, and will be using them). with further releases of this mod and his, it will include reskinned units for all the greek cultured factions, and possibly some other factions as well.

We have Belisaire making reskinned romans at the moment, and a showcase in the mod discussion forum for other people who want to have their works in this mod to post at.

We will be releasing a beta provincial campaign which includes the barbs united as the celts, the romans united as the, well, romans, and the greek cultures united as the greek (as if alexander has made an heir and everything went smoothly through the ages), in the next few days, but dont hang tooth and nail to a few days, because something may go horribly wrong, and I HAVE A LIFE!!!!!!!!! it will mainly be a heavily modified descr_strat, and possibly a new map. Maybe a new unit or two, but dont keep your hopes up.

Another provincial campaign will be released, focusing on rome's rise to dominance in italy and immediate areas.

is this keeping anyone interested?

RM3

ps. we will be releasing the main campaign, featuring a campaign map with new provinces (not necessarily a bigger one), new units, and some other features that i will not tell you in hopes the surprise will keep your interest up!

hi. not really a big update, but here is two pics of the new syracusans. we know what your gonna say, but RM, those are spartan hoplites, not syracusan hoplites, and we realize that, but bear with us, i assure we will probably make new skins for the syracusans.

another pic of the unifies roman empire. sicilia romanus will be given to the rebels(or the scipii will be renamed the roman rebel like people). Now that i have gotten the hang of it, the provincial campaign will or should be released soon.

the army is also a picture of a standard legion army with a general. armies without generals will be the same without the general (duh), and some armies may not have archers.
