Unit Screenshots
Hello everyone!
This thread is dedicated to the the Unit changes/New unit implementation/3d and 2d unit graphics sub-forum.
For those working on this group, start posting your info here, instead of the general EB MOD thread.
EDIT: This thread has been renamed Unit Screenshots because all other info regarding unit implementation has been moved to the restricted thread.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Germanic faction:
Some details for the modders to build up some interesting and historical units.
THE GERMANIC FACTION
Sahsnotas ("Swordbondsmen") : (Medium Infantry / Sword Warband)
Rome Total War Unit Abilities:Warcry, Expert at hiding in woods, may charge without orders, Combat bonus in woods and snow, Good morale.
Appearance:
long flowing hair without plaits and preferential without the suebian knot, germanic full beard, cloak, trousers in faction colour,
round shield with symbol of a white horse or germanic runes, Spatha-Sax , a long Cutting Sword.
These adept Germanic Swordfighters were known for their abilities with the sax, the saxon sword that gave this tribe its name.
They can be raised in the province Tribus Saxones.
Chatti Fanatics : (Light Infantry)
Rome Total War Unit Abilities:Warcry, Expert at hiding in woods, Excellent Morale, may charge without orders, Combat Bonus in woods and snow.
Appearance:
long flowing hair, but without plaits or the celtic spiked haircut, germanic fullbeard, naked chest, trousers in faction colour, round or hexagonal long shield and a spear or axe.
The Chatti, which means "the Distinguished" was a turbulent tribe that often clashed with the romans and fought decades against the Hermunduri, a rome-friendly tribe.
It was common for their young warriors not to shave their beards or cut their hair until they killed their first opponent in a battle.
After doing this, they often inflict some ritual scars on their own skin over the body of their fallen enemy to praise their gods.
They can be raised in the province Tribus Chattii.
Germanic Framaemen : (Light Infantry)
Rome Total War Unit Abilities:
Warcry, Expert at hiding in woods, Combat Bonus in woods and snow, Combat Bonus vs. Cavalry, may charge without orders.
Appearance:
The appearance of the Germanic SpearWarband fits well. Preferable would be some kind of cloak over their bare chest.
The Framaemen are the bulk of any germanic force. Their weapon, the framae was a spear with a short sharp ending, ideal for thrusting and throwing. They can work in close or open formation and are trained to form shield walls if necessary. They can throw or thrust with their spears which are suitable for melee as well as missile combat.
They should be a mix of the Spear Warband combined with the Skirmisher Warband.They can be raised all over Germania.
More to follow...
P.S.
Aymar, i hope this is the correct forum and the skinners and modders take a look at the information.
Re: Unit changes/New unit implementation/3d and 2d unit graphics
Ok, here's a new model for the dacian spearband. This is my first texture/model change so I hope you guys will cut me some slack.
Hopefully it is obvious that the two miniatures in the top left are the inspiration for the unit. (Thanks to Stormy for those pics)
I'm planning on adding the crossover strap as soon as I can figure out how to use unwrap UVW in 3DS Max
The stripe pattern was intended to look like wool, which is why it's a bit jaggy. I'm thinking I should just make them more straight like the model.
Any suggestions or general texturing tips are very welcome!
It seems to be a common belief that religious people are just existentialists taking things a bit too seriously.

Any suggestions or general texturing tips are very welcome!I'd prob make the cap stick up / forward a little more just to be more conspicious...and maybe the beard stick out a bit more. Other than that, it's looking pretty good mate!

Huh, this skin is just awesome
Re: Unit changes/New unit implementation/3d and 2d unit graphics
... nice!
Don't worry about stripes - they are exactly what they should be. But I think that shield should be more saturated.
Can you post bigger screens, please?

Glad to see that you have a sense of humor. Ironic none the less...Ok, here's a new model for the dacian spearband. This is my first texture/model change so I hope you guys will cut me some slack.
It's an awesome work!!!

This should be an image. I hope!
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-- John Stewart Mills
But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.
