It'd only be there for aesthetic reasons like everything else. I don't think the fact that's its aesthetic should mean its taken out - just that it shouldn't be given high priority. In the end it is just a rough simulation se we can get our Ancient Battle Fix for the day. I don't think anyone seriously expects a totally realistic experience in EBII just like no one should in EBI. On a side note: Unit cohesion is alot more noticable in M2TW. You can make units much harder to control. For those of us who got MII:TW early, we learned the hard way that a lot of battles ended up being point and shoot the infantry and hope for the best. It became a real mess after lines contacted because men wouldn't pull out. I kinda miss it now after they fixed some of those issues in the patches. I believe that we even talked about modifying unit cohesion way back when for units so that barbarian units have low cohesion and disciplined units have higher cohesion.

Honestly, I'm more curious about chariots. On another side note: I remember someone back in the day in the RTW modding forums talking about making siege weapons that increase unit speed to make troop transport chariots.

The chariot problem has already been solved,

My god, and there are those that argue that chariots suck...

These are moving scythed chariots not the-blown-over-by-a-fart Casse ones or stopped chariots.

How are you getting those screens?

Is it using an EBII beta?

thanks

I would guess that it all comes from Banzais Hegemon Battle for Greece mod for which it appears you need Stainless Steel 6.1 (and thus Kingdoms).

It all looks really cool, and I especially like the smaller map, although he has Samurai, Anubis Wardogs, Sci-Fi Armored Infantry from Halo and a steam-punk version of a Katusya rocket launcher thrown in with his Spartans and Romans. Definitely not historical, although looks like good fun.

I am wondering though, Banzai, if it's cool with the EB team that you used some of their artwork on your faction selection screens?

But really, there's some great skinning/modelling here, and kudos to Banzai for putting it all together. Warts and all, this is without a doubt the first Roman era mod for M2TW.
