Unit Screenshots

[PROMETHEUS]

1.The lower part of the trousers need to be wider (near the shoe).

fixed

2.The crest. You can use a rectangular shape and use alpha oclusion in the texture map to draw the shape. You will spare polygons and time with this. Remember the procedure for feathers on helmets?

I know but this don't work if the part in question is not in 2d but on 3d and so is there , anyway if this is still disturbing I could make it only a 2 d variant but then u won't be able to see the point from the frontal view.....

Thanks.

Ok, I understand.

But for that to happen, you must look straight at the face of the soldier, and all of the other soldiers within the unit will have the head slightly tilted. So, the problem will only affect one soldier at a time. Try it and see if it works. Working or not, both solution are fine by me.

Prom, You are truly impetuous. You are like a fighter that keeps on going and going and a fighter that won't stop!

He has unique strong passion on RTW. He is my hero

[PSYCHO V]

I'd like to be able to see the crest from the front. If it cant be done without it, I'd rather keep what Prom's already done.

Sigh, those are absolutely amazing. I'm starting to check this thread every other day to see if more unit pics have been put up. It's so sad. . Shouldn't the crest bee a bit higher and steeper though? I've seen those types of helmets before in person, and the ones that I have seen tend to be a bit higher. Not an expert, just mentioning it. Can't wait for more!

Why dont u make a fat celt for once im sure there must of been fat/large if i want to be politically correct , celts im sure they wid of been clet or british though i dont thin the germans wood
of.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

The Celtic warrior would have been tall muscular individuals and one for one a celt would outmatch a legionary, even roman writers would admit to this. The statue of the celt put much fear into the much smaller roman but they used other techniques in order to solve this problem with better organisation and cohesive tactics to enable victory.

[PROMETHEUS]

Legends that pass in the mouths of the ones who didn't were testimones in perosns , The celtys were higer yes nut the avarage legionary was a bit more than one meter and 70 cms , the 1.70 was the entry levelk to be in the legion , while the Celts reached even 1.80 but not much more , the germans instead reached higer ranges even 1.85 at the best ....

[DemonArchangel]

Err... no... 1 Roman foot is shorter than 1 modern foot.

The avg. legionary was apt to be something like 5'3 while your avg. celt was like 6 ft.

[PROMETHEUS]

No you are wrong the Roman standards to accept people in the legion is that they had not to be shorter than 1.70 cms

anyway here is the Lybian spearmen need to know how it looks now...

[DemonArchangel]

Palm of the right hand doesn't face outwards.
On normal people anyway.

It does in RTW. It's the CA bug, I think somebody here got the poor job of correcting it already :)

Are you going to make new animations for the hoplite and phalanx units ?

[PSYCHO V]

Lovely model Prom !

Let's wait and see...

Crests are not supposed to be worn by every single Spartan soldier. Only for officers of each pentekostye, and an transverse crest for the Polemarch..

Crests had the same function as the stars on officers' uniforms these days. As well as the function of quickly identifying friend from foe, similar to the IFF systems in modern fighterjets.

From this junior member...

I finally read through this thread (took several hours). There are some incredibly talented individuals working on this project...

My main reason for visiting the Org these days is to check on the progress of this Mod. In fact, Europa Barbarorum inspired me to join and begin posting!

Astonishing work folks, astonishing. I hope you all have resumes submitted to developers. It takes true individual dedication to effectively contribute to this massive and complex undertaking with no monetary compensation.

Europa Barbarorum is stirring up anticipation for higher standards in gaming production from this gamer. I hope CA is paying serious attention to the modding community and the potential modding has for their target markets.

Please continue with your impressive labors. I think I'll begin to look into modding myself (despite a 40+hr work week and full time university study).

Warmest regards,

Divinus Arma

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

Thank you indeed for your kind words.

I think I speak in name of the whole team when I say that, although this project has always been approached more as a way to make ourselves happy, when playing RTW, than for any recognition, we always apreciate when people demonstrate such interest for the MOD.

I hope we can make all people's expectations more than fulfilled...

Having read through this entire thread I must say I'm very impressed with the work you guys are doing. Very professional work indeed!
I really only have one thing to question and that is the physical fitness appearance of some of the units with bare chest...
Particularly the abs of some barbarian units look really really big.. Maybe tone the muscles down a bit so they don't all look like they're pumped up on steroids?
Maybe fatten some of those units up just a bit too? I mean, even for present day soldiers it's not very smart to get rid of all your body fat as that will make your body get cold very fast when you're in the field, so imagine how it must be for those Gauls in the winter... :p

Retouched PROMETHEUS's Numidian units and reskinned the Numidian Slinger:

Numidian Cavalry (removed harness on the horse and minor touches in the tunic and shield):




Numidian Javelinmen (minor touches in the tunic and shield):




Numidian Slingers (new skin reworked from PROMETHEUS's Numidian Javelinmen skin):

[DemonArchangel]

Aw...
Nice.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Nice, indeed.

I was getting worried that you guys weren't going to post any more screenshots!

Thanks!

[PSYCHO V]

In that case ..here's a Belgae unit in progress

[QwertyMIDX]

In the meanwhile look the new revamped equites.....

Are you guys ditching the blue shield and going with faction colors?

[QwertyMIDX]

Sacred band infantry with linen cuirass.....

Why do the Sacred band infantry and calvary both have the Greek style meander pattern on thier shield edges? I was unaware that it was ever used in Carathage expect perhaps by hire mercs, which the Sacred Band obviously aren't.

I think you should add beard to them (slightly, as on my avatar's pic ). 'Cause on Numidians coins and on Roman depictions Numidians always have beard.

[QwertyMIDX]

Do you plan on naming the units things like Northern Warband, Liby-Phoenician Heavy Infantry and Iberian Infantry or something closer to what the Guals or Carths would actually have referred to them as? Maybe just 'Heavy Spearman' in whatever lang you're using for Carth (I'd guess Hebrew).

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

Just for the Romans because of their similar units.

A lapse by PROMETHEUS. Some details still need to be worked out.
