I vote yes, but I think would be better off if a new model is used, instead another militia warband or militia hoplite, there are just too many of these for Suebii and the Far East Celt.
I saw the message on the test server, how do you reset it?
I don't think new model is a good idea, we are out of room for model table.
If your R&D is working, we need to clean up even more, do you agree?
Not to mention Er is working on the naval battle, and if that works too, we need 8 more entries to accommodate the warships.
What is the reasoning behind the Sarmatian with a female infantry unit?
Vote is a tentative yes, assuming there is a good logic behind it.
As impressive as Er has been doing, I don't think she is anywhere close to get the naval battle to work.
The custom battle works, but not on campaign.
To answer your question, if I may, I stated a new model for the entry level infantry, I did not mean a brand new model created just for Sarmatian, it could be an existing model but just not another Militia Hoplite or Warband.
Er voted NO
and have not heard back from Jenn.
Pea voted no, saying Sarmatian is not supposed to be strong on infantry.
N abstains
Z voted no, no reason given one way or another.

The only reason is to trigger more people who like to play with the amazon units with these "quest" faction. Now it's a "quest" faction which people ignore.
If possible you could erase some horde units which are almost a copy of the original unit. I have no idea if this create a problem when a faction goes hording. But when not these are some horde units: libyan horde spearwomen/barber archers, sarmatian horde virgin horse archers/horde virgin archers, scythian horde virgin archers, eastern celts horde spearman, arvernii horde spearmen.
This is just to relay message from Dragour
"...In the mean time let people know not to buy Rome Gold on Steam for the time being as Steam doesn't have any CD Keys to give out...."
If you just purchased or are thinking of purchaing RTW Gold Edition, please be advised of the above.

Actually, my Yes vote carries the condition that we need to hear the argument for the change.
After I heard the explanation, I would like to change my vote to no, because the reason is just not adequate.
I am sorry WP.
Thank you for speaking your mind my dear.
But since I am the member who seconded Paul, and we have a tie, so I am going to use the tie breaker vote.
And my vote is yes, so we still would add the new unit, provided that it is not a new model. And provided that the new unit is not a militia hoplite or warband type as a condition set by BB.
My recommendations are
1. Amazons Heavy Peltast, reason for equalize the force with Thyssa
2. Dismounted version of Sarmatian Virgin Cavalry.
3. Amazon Halberdier, renamed Sarmatian Widows, that was actually suggested from a long time back.
If Paul has the chance, please suggest your recommendation or pick one of the above.

Well keeping in mind they don't have a strong infantry I would say the dismounted version of the Sarmatian Virgin Cavalry. The other 2 options also are fine with me but would increase there infantry strenght more.
Cel, I have no problem with changing your mind in fact I appriciate your choice. So please don't feel sorry.
Nice work!
I also created the Sarmatian Maiden Infantry called Sarmatian Dismounted Caballarii. The changes along with Cel's change has already run through BB's automated testing gauntlet and should be downloadable tonight. To simplify testing, no additional unit tile work are in the latest release candidate.

I also need to post the following animation anomalies.
If Pea has a chance perhaps it is a good idea to take a look:
1. When round shield unit is horse-borne, the model's right elbow is disconnected from the upper arm.
2. ankle and wrist skins need to be checked to be covered completely on the new units.
Visit Amazons:Total War
Thank You Pea!
That was a quick turn-around, I understand the hand issue is not currently resolvable because of the UVW mapping, but the other changes are great!
1. fixed the upper torso flaring edge problem.
2. new bone location for right arm
3. adjusted shield angle so the shield no longer runs into the arm.
4. new map for reverse edge and facing.
If BB checks out all the improvement, please stand by to apply these fixes to all similar parts.
Thanks

It has been confirmed that Steam finally got more CD keys to allow player to purchase RTW Gold online from Steam and being able to play.
Many players who downloaded the Amazons Total War were having difficulty playing the game because the software is downloaded but they have no licensed key to play, now looks like the problem has been resolved.
Please keep us posted if you have any other issues.

Can someone help me out with this. So i was able to download and play amazon total war. However when i try to play the newer version of Amazon total war like 8.0 i am able to start and get to the menu and select a faction. but when i try to play it will start to load and it crashes and sends me to my desk top and says something of missing or trouble reading scripts or something. I am not sure exactly what it says since i am not infront of my computer but i am pretty close to what i think it says since i have to close about 17 small windows telling me about terrain and some units that it couldnt read or find. Am i missing something in the installation part or do i have to download all versions to just play the newest one? please help, i am semi good with a computer but not great so if someone can direct me to inform me step but step i would be forever greatful.
Thanks
Can you post when did you downloaded your mod file?
From your description, the RTW/BI game engine is not able to locate the path of files it needs for the mod.
And also if you downloaded previous release 6.0 series, as well as early 7.0, the packing scheme is different in the 8.0.
You must make sure you have deleted the previous Amazons Total War folder to copy the new AmazonsTW-Refulgent folder into a clean vanilla RTW/BI folder, no previous Amazon Total War folder should be in there.

Just for all the teammates to know...
BB is on vacation and won't back until July 16th. If you have sent her message, she probably won't be able to process it right away or not able to process it at all until she returns.

Liz,
the flooding area you emailed me east of Avaricum on the map is a swamp, further due east of Biracte is another one, the texture for it is rather fuzzy, but I am not sure if it is intended that way.
Thank You! Hon
I will check with Granto to find out.
