Although the mail looks less dark, since it is still in the shade, I cannot really say. As for the rest of the unit, IMHO, it is absolutelly perfect. :2thumbsup:

The unit is awesome. As for the mail, although it's very close to absolute perfection, I think it should have a greyish colour, not a brownish one.
Hey guys can we get some more greek units. I'll appreciate any screenshots.
Well... you've finally gone and done it... after many weeks of following these forums and being utterly amazed by everyone and everything being done... I finally gave in and registered... I know everyone on the EB team has heard it enough times to live off of for many lifetimes but this is truly the most amazing mod, or even most amazing game in its own right. It's hardcore cliche at this point but... thanks :embarassed:
Mkay then, now that we've gotten that out of the way. Prom you rule. Don't take stuff about Romans and whatnot in the game or otherwise personally dude. These Roman units look freakin awesome, but you had posted another version in the other screenshot thread which I think had better mail coloration and brightness and whatnot.

Idunno. Personal preference of mine I assume. Oh and just wondering, will there be a new skin or any changes at all to the captain or acting general dude for every unit? The helmetless one. And will he look even more different for different factions?
And once again, to everybody working on this mod, may you all live prosperous and happy lives, due to the great deed to humanity you have all done here (Overdramatic? Maybe. Undeserved? Not in the least!). Good luck on the rest of this monumental task!
Thank you very much in name of the whole team. We apreciate very much your comments. Specially knowing that you've registered specifically because of EB. :bow:Quote:

YOU GUYS RULE! WOOOOOOOO! *drunken college-guy yells*
*passes out*
i bet a lot of people have registered b/c of EB. i myself registered entirely because of EB and Blue Lotus (50/50). the EB guys are great, but that hoggy is a mad genius freakshow maniac. kidnap him and force him to collaborate with your modelers/skinners.. just a thought.Quote:

Princeps..... I enlighted a bit more the mail....
Curious question - what's that on the triarii helmet?
Prom
This might be a question that's already been asked, but is there a reason why you are including a split in the mail shirts on the bottom half. Lorica hamata didn't include a split, but was a solid skirt. Iss this a concious decison or something that forced on you by texturing constraints?
Good work!
I think they should have another pattern on shield. Imho, there should be unique pattern for each type of Roman units.
BTW, Prom, perhaps you could get better screenshots if you'd select the unit before taking a screencap? Then they would be backlighted (you can remove the silly green arrows in the preferences.txt) and better visible.
Prom:
Looking nice. I agree with the Lorica Hamata not being split
Something else is bugging me, wanted to clear it up though: The shield pattern of the wolf, is that based off of the one i posted for 3d art application? Because it looks great, and you managed to get it to not mirror as bad, so i'm shamed from a job ~;) IF so, i also see you lessened the scratches and dirt, but it looks really really good, almost subtly so.
BTW: If i want to help work on Roman textures with you, who do i need to PM about it?
Cut-outs for Eyes like on a greek style helmet, but fake. This Helmets developed from the trick to hide behind the shield an let the enemy think he would hit something.Quote:

Woah. I never knew that. Clever :) If only we could get the AI be tricked by that ;)
That sounds suspiciously like a myth to me. The Etrusco Corinthian helmet was a bastardised version of the Greek Corinthian. The Greek Corinthinan could be worn pushed up for greater visibility. The style was copied for the Etrusco Corinthian, and the eyes remained at a stylistic feature. I think in most cases they're actually engraved or embossed features, as opposed to being real holes. seems a bit foolish having holes in a helmet just for stylistic reasons.
Actually, those helmets are quite correct. The reason for the eyes was most likely decoration, since it didn't really affect the helmet's usefullness much.
Prom,
Looking amazing as always, the mail on those princeps is looking just about perfect. The brownness of the triarii you posted was a bit wierd, but it looks like you got it perfect with the princeps, good work! ~:cheers:
It's because the texture in that area is stretched while the soldier is walking. If it had other than a unpatterned texture the stretching would be very noticeable and ugly.Quote:
