Does the latest patch 0.81aV2 fix the Imperial Legionary helmet battlefield graphic so it matches the unit card graphic? I know it's stupid but I hate looking at that pointy helmet they have now. Other than that, this mod is great. Thanks.

81 does not, but as you probably know 1.0 is near and the imperial legionary has been totally reskinned by Xprime which we preveiwed a couple months back.

Zak,

Thank you for the info. I've been away for awhile but its great that the EB team is still hard at work making this awesome game even better. Thanks again.

If I took the Praetorian texture and modified the shield to match the standard Augustan Legionary unit card pic and then recolored it, how many folks would be interested in downloading it? I have never done this type of editing before but I'm willing to try if there is interest. I know I'm interested and I think the Praetorian and Evocatae textures are phenomonal, just like to have all of the armor styles match.

Could anyone post the link to XPrime's legionary unit? It would be cool to see how it looks like.

That's odd.

I though only marian had a plume (at least in the current version)?

And they DO look very nice indeed.

Yeah. I thought that the imperial legionaries no longer had plumes on their helmet?

And what made you think that?

Look at the unit picture in-game or here (http://https://www.europabarbarorum.com/factions_romani_units.html). You'll see they have no plumes. Or is this just an error in the current version?

Oh, yes, the current versions have some ahistorical errors that are being worked on. You may see some small tweaks to several units in the Roman roster based on new and continuing scholarship/research. This is the reason we had Xprime re-skin the Imperial cohors and cohors evocata, for example.

Excellent! *evil laugh*

They do look nicer with plumes, pointy heads are reserved for the Western front.

i actually was arguing with the modders about the plumes when the preview first came out and they set me straight! :laugh4: :2thumbsup: (does any of the modders remember that? :beam: )
anyhow, i looked it up in other sources- by the time of augustus, plumes were still used, but were going "out of fashion," so to speak.
