I've been thing on making a mini mod for the light version of ALXEB that will include new and historical units.
So the qustion is, what units that existed between 272 BC to 14 CE were not included in EB?

Well, rhinocerii were used in the battle of Thermopylae, for instance.
yeah, that's 200 years too early.Quote:

The same faction used to have dedicated Illyrian versions of the Thureophoroi and Thorakitai but they were dropped since it meant they couldn't have the Hellenic versions due to various reasons and I guess they were more important.
Also mentioned that they would have liked a lighter version of the Thureophoroi but didn't want to give another slot to a very similar Hellenic unit type.
EB also said there was meant to be an armoured Balearic slinger that was never made.
We still don't have any kind of unit in Sicily to represent the native peoples, some kind of Peltastai
similar to the Lucanians I guess.
The EB 2 video had some Hellenic sword unit that looked almost like Kiarians. Not sure who they were.
That's all I got off the top of my head.
I don't know if it is historical accurate, but it would be nice, if Hellenic factions could recruit some kind of elite (or at least medium phalanx) in Taras, perhaps Leukaspides. If I remember correctly, Pyrrhos used them during his Italian campaign. I know that the name only replies to their shields and not to Taras particular, Leukaspides could be every unit all over the world, as long as their shield are white. But I always wanted to have some "special" phalanxes, tide to a special region/city. Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.
Indeed, Taras should have a much larger selection of Greek troops.Quote:

a cataphract like heavy cavalry for pontus...
Though I have added already :laugh4: I have added them armenian model. though I do not know how to name them .
I remeber reading that they were going to include a baktrian phalanx unit. Sort of like Makedon and Epeiros phalanxes. An elite one anyways
Bartixioi.

well I'm already adding Indo-greek phalanx unit: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...=262971&page=2
Thank you all for your suggestions!
Any more?
Wow, Leviathan DarklyCute, you will be my hero when you release this. I play EB on ALEX, and the idea that I can have some extra units bothers me every time I play EB. I was recently thinking about importing select units from RTR and other mods, but I suppose this will no longer be necessary!
So, why don't you go and ask some EB team members if they have leftover models & skins from units not included in EB due to restrictions on the unit slots?? This will be the best thing you can do, since anything made by the EB team is guaranteed to be 100% accurate :2thumbsup:.
I already did, thay don't. I'll take them from some other mods.Quote:

There should be quite a few more phalanx and hoplite units in Greek colonial areas, of unique types if possible.Quote:

There're lots, and that isn't an indictment of the EB team - it's just that the limitations of the engine require selective rosters. A better question to ask is, which factions would you like to know about?
or which units were around enough to deserve a place? or what can i depict given game limitations?
I have added 39 Units and their models,
only with Alex:yes:! I am sure it will crash with other exes. :whip:
Celtic cataphracts? :dizzy2:
Yeah, right :tongue: And Sabean Legionaries or something :clown:
Maion
What units? Can you upload them please?Quote:

How will you do that? I thought the unit limit was reached....
Nope there is a few slots left, I've added 10 -15 units to the EDU with no ill effect. This is using BI.exe and RTW.exe.
ps. Like Parkev I'm also curious about this
Somebody been using units without permission?Quote:

That's impossible. I've tried adding more than one, and I get a KTD with error message about the DMB file. Plus, I remember hearing there was only 1 free unit slot left.Quote:

Ah, that changes things then. Indeed, that you can do for any unit you want.
Maion
Garamantine chariots would have been interesting.
adding units it is not just adding them to EDu.
1-add them to edu
2-add them to DMB (use alex it has more capacity which I added for) and change their root like :Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
3-copy whole files written there in models unit folder
4-add units info and battle tga images
if you omit one of the these process you will have a certain CTD!
also if you want to play with them in not just in custom battle (the processes explained above just add units for custom battle!) also for campaign map :
-open EDB
find the faction MIC and put codes like:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
If you do not know the private hidden sources of certain province open descr_regions in campaign map base folder you could find their hidden resource codes at the end of their descriptions that I draw with red and add them EDB as I have added the lines above (they are green above):
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
and thank God if you have successfully manage to add them and EB will open without error messages or CTDs.
P.S. If you want to use this models for yourself you can use privately but you have to ask for permission from the dev team who made them if you want to publish them as a submod.
I have added RS Legions on my EB so I can use them but I cannot publish them, sorry:no:
I hope it helped.

I have added RS Legions for Romans and Armenian Cataphracts for Pontos.Quote:

P.S. I had forgotten I had added armored elephants for pahlava, too.
How do I add units to rebels in EB? it's not like other mods.

I advice you to read scriptorium tutorials on adding new units.
You do not have to ask permission if you use them for yourself. You only need permission if you are releasing your modification(s).Quote:
