RES GESTAE part 2!

[PROMETHEUS]

Hello all , I am currently making a project called RES GESTAE , is quite some time that I am working on this .... here is a brief description of my mod.....

1
I replaced a couple of factions with some more attractive and interesting ...

2
There will not be hoards of units , I am more for few but good than many but repetitive or similar , also this would just confuse players on my opinion...

3
Multiplayer oriented , this means that the multiplayer will be one of the main aspects and gameplay balance will be particularly taken care of ...

4
unit balancement in order to respect historicity and fun gameplay ..... this means if a faction was definetly useless and uncompetitive in history , will be helped a bit to survive on multiplayer ...

5
Historicity , all units will be remade in historical way , so will be completely new unit lists , not huge ones but good ones , of which u will be always able to find the sources used and documentated , mainly information taken from osprey books , the several books about uniforms and reconstructions of ancient hera , plus help from several experts on the ancient history...

6
New map , this will span from scandinavia to the deserts of central Africa and from Portugal till the Gange valleys....

7
The gameplay will be balanced by expert multiplayers , plus battles will be longer ....

8
some other scripting will be present , probably reuse of already winning and succesfull scripts already made by other modders with their permissions of course , but this is for now optional


The Name is inspired about the purpouse of rewriting history making your own RES GESTAE .....

all the units will be made by me to keep an uniformity in the style ....

the list of factions is ...


Roman Julii
Roman Valerii
Roman Cornelii
Roman Senatus
Carthago
Greeck Cities
Macedonian Kingdom
Tolemaic Egypt
Seleucid Kingdom
Parthian Kingdom
Bactrian Kingdom
ScythoSarmatian tribes
Germanic Tribes
Britannic Tribes
Gaulish tribes
Cetliberian Tribes
Numiodian Kingdom
Pontus Kingdom
Mauryan Kingdom
Dacian Kingodm and Thracian Tribes

The timeline is from 220 BC to 69 AD

here are some screenshots to show some of the work made for it ....

V Alaudae Cohors ....




Seleucid Scythed chariots....



Mauryan Longbowmen



Mauryan Skirmishers



New Roman Republican Army



New Roman Republican Late Army



After a long wait and work on this , here are the Mauryan Elephants ..... are a wip becouse the model isn't definitive and so the textures ....

[bestantreas]

The model and the skins look great but what are they holding?

[Prof]

It's an axe

EDIT: how about posting questions, etc... in the main thread? (R E S G E S T A E) And leave the other threads to prometheus, so that he can post news here. It would become very confusing if everybody posts in the preview threads...

EDIT 2: only an idea

[PROMETHEUS]

A full view of a Mauryan Army ....

[paullus]

The towerless elephant is great, and as others have said, your Mauryans are truly looking wonderful.

[ramareddy]

Very impressive.

[PROMETHEUS]

Mauryans approach Seleucid Phalangites covering in the deep of Jungles ......







Thanks to Lionskin for his majestic work on vegetation ^^ ....

[tutankamon]

Looks great !! keep it up... I was wondering though..It would be even better if you used Pinarius great horse models.. that would make them even greater!!!

[ramareddy]

I'm assuming the models for the elephants had to be custom-made, did you fellows do that also?

Are you working on the Indian Cavalry currently?
