Late Roman Empire Mod (Rex Romana)

**mucky305** · 07-19-2008, 13:41

Ave! Vires Quod Veneratio! These are screenshots from the upcoming mod that I'm doing. It focuses on the Roman Imperial period and is perfect for Lorica Segmentata lovers. Total there are 22 new and reskinned units. An optional EBBS script will be included to get the imperial reforms very early and allow you to enjoy crushing your enemies with these fine soldiers. You must have the Alexander Expansion and it is recommended that you play as Rome. Some of the features include:

- Epic Walls
- Foundries
- AoR for new units and modified AoR for some existing units
- Reduced recruitment and upkeep costs for all factions (larger armies and more battles)
- Small population growth bonuses for farms and granaries
- Descriptions for new units and modified one for existing units
- Numbered First Cohorts

Disclaimer: As stated in previous posts, these models and skins are NOT mine, they were done by Ferres and are available at the TWC site as Modding Legion Pack 1.5.

Depending on popularity I may continue this or it may end up on the ash heap of the EB forum like so many mods, either way, please enjoy!

Jesus, they're good. I mean, PROPERLY good. Have a baloon:

Minor thing, but wasn't the praetorian guard a royal blue? or is that just me being thick?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Awesome, trully awesome !
but

- Epic Walls
- Foundries
- AoR for new units and modified AoR for some existing units
- Reduced recruitment and upkeep costs for all factions (larger armies and more battles)
- Descriptions for new units and modified one for existing units

i'm not sure if i liked this, nor the script to make imperial reforms early, there's a way to you upload just the units ?

I hate to be nitpicky, but the historical "Urban Cohorts" are already represented as the Vigiles.

**mucky305** · 07-19-2008, 17:27

@Reverend
Yes, the Vigiles represent the Vigiles Urbani who functioned as the police and firemen of Ancient Rome. These units fit into the EB timeframe as well. The Cohortes Urbanae performed similar roles (maintaining order) and were used to counteract the power of the Praetorian Guard (which I doubt the Vigiles could do). They did exist but either don't fall in the EB timeframe and/or weren't significant enough to inlcude. I never said this was 'historical'.

@Havok
The script will be optional. However, the EDB and EDU fit together and the AoR's are needed to include the new units. Foundries and Epic walls also take a LONG time to build and get to and they are costly so you may never even see them.

@Che
Dunno, I know that violet (purple) was the color royalty due to cost so these units are purple (Royal Guard).

Thanks!

Well done!
But is this mod historically accurate?
Edit: Oh I see.. It's not historical..

So, if i download just the unit pack i'll have just the units along with the Foundries and Epic walls right? no other changes to upkeep or whatever right?

oh, my bad. Still though, this is truly a fantastic mod. the models are just GORGEOUS. They need you for EBII modelling/skinning, as if this is what you're capable of on your own, well, just wow.

Anyway, it is a great honour to present to you the Che Roriniho Biscuit of Excellence.
