Don't worry, we understand. In addition, what you say about the Corinthian helmets doesn't really matter, since we're completely redoing every single unit in the game, and tossing out 75% of them.

Ok, kewl.... I would apreciate some screenshots of the greek units if it's not too much trouble.

Thanks.

I believe this thread already has at least our redone Argyraspidai (silver shield pikemen). Though the Greeks haven't received as much attention as other factions at the moment.

A little update on Caesar Legion , Since I got a new book on the subject the shield has been scaled to reach the exact dimension, also I added the detail of the link of the shoulder pads that also have been reshaped , still need to retouch the helmet and pattern ....

Small variation on the intensity of the red hoping this could give more realism to the units so did it work? I also changed the colour of the crest to a black one did it work too?

I like the shield colour better in the last one.

Regarding the crest or mane, I thought that Caesarian Legions did not use one:

Roman troops wore the crests on parade and during battles, you can see the attachments in your picture. They were put away at other times, presumably to keep them clean and intact.

Have fun

Holy superb shots batman! (ehm, I mean PROMETHEUS)

Is this early post marian reforms, late post marian reforms? (Or is it still the levied legions?)

They are the best damn Romans I've seen. Brilliant! But you keep making so many minor changes I keep expecting them to end up turning out worse. I especially like the darker hues and tones of the units. Much less cartoony than the CA originals, more authentic looking and easier on the eyes (they don't blind you unlike the vanilla ones).

All the new units are looking fantastic by the way, the mod looks brilliant. And I think Prometheus is trying to get a job at CA with all his attention to detail. :P

The only minor concern about the mod is the reliance on those Osprey images for reference. You'd think they were photos from the era with the number of times they're used to justify the look and appearance of the units. I imagine it's difficult to get a large number of 'reliable' resources for reference though.

(And my apologies - my long name appears to have stretched the forum!)
