New Rome units

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

This thread is basically for anyones units they have made for rome so far, with screenshots etc.

I have been messing around and made a couple this morning, a have made a Spartan archer from the SH model but it still has the pike but i'm working on removing that, maybe with a sword instead.

I also made a Numidian elephant with a Desert warrior on top, based on the forest elephant.

These are new not made out of previous or gone over any units.

A made a head hurler charioteer also but i'm making that into a belgic chariot replacing the head with javelins.

Now i'll balance and experiment, make a few more and if anyone wants them, i'll release them

Cheers BKB

Also I have made some review panel pics but not working at present but as soon as someone works out how to put pak files back in, everything should be sweet

Good idea. I just got the game yesterday, so I have not had much time to look into unit making yet. It could be nice if someone made a unit guide of some kind like MTW, maybe a topic when people post their findings. It could be nice to make a gothic foot knight and other cool units

Hey can you make a new Spartan Hoplite so they dont wear bathrobes anymore? And can you make a new legionary unit for either Brutii or Scipii (I dont want Julii to have them, grrr...)

I've been busy over the last 24 hours. I've tried editing the DDS files with PSP with the DDS PlugIn to make the 'Corinthian' Spartans but it doesn't seem to be saving right.

Also, you remember the original Woad Warriors the Britons had, with the polearm-esque weapon? I've unlocked them and added them to the British - Celtic Warriors I've called them for now. I've also added Skirmishers for the Britons, and put them on chariots also, but unfortunately they can't throw javelins. I once managed to get the Head Hurlers on chariots which was hilarious but it didn't look right - they guy at the front kept running forward. Nubian guys on elephants look pretty cool as well, but they have to shoot arrows which doesn't look right because they have spears and not bows. As I can't edit the DDS files at the minute the weapons and shields are still there for the time being.

I might release these at some point if people want them.

I don't know if this quite counts as a new unit idea - but is there a way to make female family members playable? There were historical female leaders like Boudicca in Briton (I know, the time period was imperial not republic). But I'm still interested in knowing if it's possible, and how it could be done. Though, the speeches would seem a little off, what with that deep male voice. Maybe there's a way to turn off the speeches too? (Though I do like them).
thanks

had a go at a quick test using Vercingetorix' wonderful tool :

Hoggy: Brilliant work, man! Heavy Peltast : Too Cute for T.W. (Yes I know that sounded cheesy, but my wits are at an all-time low)

Battle of the Bobble-heads.

Wow, seems like Vercingetorix plugin has had quite an effect, anyone know what is happening with the LotR mod?

I can't find th thread for it
