Roman Polybian Reforms. Mini Mod

**Reno Melitensis** · 04-30-2008, 23:57

Hi to all. After the frustration of some EB players regarding the limitation of skins available after the Polybian reforms to represent the various Latin and Italic allies, I received the permission from limes to use his skins that originally where included in the Reign of Ares mod for EB v.8. As I am not good at mod making, I ask those interested to help. I guess that the skins and ancillaries can be extracted from the mentioned mod. Here is the post I received from lime and the conditions he is asking for for using his skins.

'Hi.
I'm not sure my skin is presented on the last picture.
Rest of skis are mine. I still use them in AEE, so...
... ok, but there are two conditions:

1. Info about author in mod info
2. names of units must have prefix "limes" (limes_xxxxx or limesxxxxx, etc.).

Regards.

limes

PS. Could you sent me link to your mod. I will take a look.'

Now who is going to take the challenge. Cheers.

Does he mean names of units in the EDU, or as they appear in the game itself?

As I am not great at converting Eb, I am having some problems. First I want the new units to appear when the Polybian reforms are triggered, but I am missing something that I cant figure out. I am uploading the file, any help will be appreciated.

Secondly, limes asked me to insert the prefix 'limes' in unit names, how I dont know, so if there are any Romanii fans good at modding, please help.

Where did he want the prefix? In the actual name that appears in the game? If so I don't find that acceptable, it's jarring to see it whenever you use the units themselves. If that's the case I'd prefer to find some other skins from elsewhere.

No problem giving credit where it's due in the name in EDU and other internal sources, along with a note in the unit details, but not in the external view.

he's referring to the internal name of the skin not what is shown in-game...

Alright, ignore me then!

How many units are we going for here? Just the heavy infantry (ie hastati, principes and triarii)? Or do we want an Italic velites unit as well?

**Reno Melitensis** · 05-02-2008, 07:45

The Units that we have are Etruscan Hastati, Umbrian Hastati, and Umbrian Spearmen, Picenian Principes, Lucan Hastati and Spearmen. Now my aim is to make them restricted to one province, ie, the Etruci from Etruria, Arretium, the Umbri from Umbria, Ariminum, the Piceni from Arpi, and the Lucans from Capua. The Velites may not have varied that much among the allies.

Still I am having problems, and I need help, I am not that good at modding. I am making a mistake and I cant figure what it is. Yesterday Limes told be exactly what he meant by prefixes, he told me "Of course I mean names of files (not units :)) inside *textures* folder. Skins must have prefix "limes" :). Thank to this move I know what units are used outside AEE ". So who is going to give me a hand?

Cheers.
