Mori Gaesum (Helvetii) by Prom.

Helvetii? Aren't those rebels? Wow, are you making different skins for all the rebel factions too??

**eadingas** · 01-12-2005, 17:06

Of course. That's one of the main big things of this mod.

**GeWee** · 01-12-2005, 17:34

I did not know that. I thought they would be generic like in the original game. Personally, since I'm lazy probably, I would have thought it to be too much work to redesign every single rebel faction but apparently you don't and for that I thank you.

There will be NOTHING generic about EB :) We're trying to put as much detail as is possible, given certain restrictions CA puts on us (limit on number of units, no new factions, etc.)

Beautifull rework of texture, PSYCHO!!!

I can't wait to play R:TW with actual distinct units instead of having "spear warband" as the main unit for all barbs from Gual to Dacia. Not to mention barbs that can actually fight with the Romans instead of playing Mordor and attacking with endless ork legions.

LOL Read the text, DM!!! Just read the text...

Far be it from me to ponder such things, but if the actual column, built by Romans who actually fought the numidians, is based on heresay, then what is that osprey drawing based on?

Anyways, keep up the good work!

Osprey isn't actually too accurate much of the time. A lot of Osprey can be stylized or simply wrong sometimes, so we only use it as a source if none others can be found. We've been able to make some very good units though, with plenty of primary and reliable secondary sources to base things from. Osprey is a last resort, and Roman accounts aren't always all too accurate either (like 'lazy Gauls' in Carthaginian armies, despite their statements, right beforehand, how hard the Gauls were working for the Carthaginians). We can usually (but not always),find better sources, archaeological as well as textual, for the units and armies.

Like Ranika posted, we use all highly reliable historical sources before consulting other material. Rest assured it will be accurate. In EB, we are ready to recognize when another person, also investigating the issue, has found a more reliable source that contradicts the ones we have. All for the sake of Historical accuracy.

I was just teasing Dead Moroz.

version 1

Version 2

Ok I would like to know opinions on the following changes I made and what looks more realistic between version 1 and 2 , apart from the shield that now has the proper form that should have....

Things changed

1 shield

2 mail hauberk

3 face

4 scabbard

**Aymar de Bois Mauri** · 01-13-2005, 14:03

Welcome back, PROMETHEUS!!!

Regarding the unit:

-Why change the hauberk pattern?
-Face too blurry.
-On both models (in fact, on all Roman models) the scabard is too thin for the gladius they hold. Thicken the scabard a little.

Nothing else...

**PROMETHEUS** · 01-13-2005, 14:20

Ok but the mail pattern I made has a deeper fitted trama that was used at the time the one of the game instead has rings as large as fingers , also the colour scheme is more realistic to my opinion and the directions of the lines follow more the body in the second version .... but of course I need opinions, the shield is better like is now , more close to the originals , also the scabbard is taken by the sword so has the same size of it ...for the face , yes is more blurry but isn't more realistic this?

new version slightly modified by Psicho V....
