Unit Screenshots

Besides, it's precisely gay guys who spend all the day in the gym building up balloonish muscles.

BTW, if you're so fond of watching muscled macho men, who's the gay?

Since ignorance is you way of life, I shouldn't even bother replying, but I feel like I have to.

Celts were trained from birth to be warriors and they thrained extensivelly to be the best individual warriors possible. They were phisically much larger (because of genetics) and stulkier than Roman/Greeks and therefore the unit must reflect that.

Too bad you have no idea of what we're talking about: Historical reality...

Actually Aymar is Prom's boss in this project.

Atually this is a modding community not a few person's work, I am not hired by anyone and instead I am modding here for free decision as all of us , so there is no a Boss just coordinators , I don't take Orders by Aymar or anyone , I cooperate with others , there is not one or two minds that accept and decide on what is good and what is not good , there are votations and proposals....If the thing is not as I tought it was then please tell me that I will resign from the community couse I don't stand autorities of any kinds....

Then is time to say that the skin is a work in progress so I don't understand all this discussion about the muscled guys ... Moroz is right that as are now the guys look less "trained" but I think he didn't want to mean something like the gladiators or conan but just more defined , wich is ok , the actual texture is very defined in the photoshop , but the game for some reason keeps to blurry it so I will have to increase the contrast level for it....

the Gauls also where not bulkier or more muscled than romans , just more tall since the everyday training of a legionary was really really heavy task...and are really used to fatigue and sustained work , while the gauls on the other hand while where very skilled individual warriors where less used to continual training and fatigue , that is why they routed more easily on the long continuated fights , just becouse they where less used to and tired faster....

The germans where even taller than the gauls and probably since they aborred every luxury , wich instead the gauls liked a lot , probably couold have more "marked" or "signed" bodies in the sence of training warfare and definition , they where described as terrific in aspect that even made fear the legionaries and the gauls , so their aspect should be very worked on....

Why don't you ask that to Ranika and PSYCHO? They will explain it to you better than me. After all they are the Historical experts in the Celtic (Britons and Gauls) Group.

The most fit persons today (except bodybuilders) are what they should look like...

And that would be what? Gymnasts?
I dunno.. I have a hard time imagining a barbarian soldier spending that much time doing excercises that didn't involve weapons.

I think they looked more or less like present-day soldiers. Some more fit than others... But to have an entire warband consisting of people that have bulkier muscles than Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime is just wrong.

They used warm clothes and wool covers before they started the battle. They were only naked while fighting. Not while travelling and organizing the formations before battle.

True...

Besides, only some of them fought bare-chested. By 270BC, most fought clothed.

Germans not but always many fought still barechested as many gauls , but since the gaul campaigns had even winter battles , most probably they wouldn't fight at all barechested in winter , as well as the romans weared full throusers in that time with black leather stribes around theyr legs to protect from cold....

Becouse I know history as well ... may be not with the same deepness on gauls as I know the romans but the physical attributes are well depicted on statues and reproductions of the period and none was a conan like man , while instead when you look at the gladiator's paintings you will see that those guys really look like conan and the like , really impressive.....

Too bad that the original skin he posted of the muscular guy, is from PSYCHO, not from CA.

And the original texture is by me from the Gladiator one , and is not even very good....

But they were bigger and larger than Romans.

Because they ONLY trained for the arena. Nothing else. And most of them weren't from the Italian peninsula.

And the original texture is by me from the Gladiator one , and is not even very good....

Better than CA's...

I WANT TO SEE THE ROMAN EARLY LEGION ON SUNSHINE!!!

Thought about muscles and workout:
Muscles - protruding, visible muscles - don't come from physical effort. You could be throwing bags of stones all your life, and not get muscular. Muscular figure comes from particular fitness training. There are machines and equipment that help you build your muscles, why do you think is that? If it were that easy, then it'd be enough to just do a sport, or lift weights.
Look at weightlifters. They are strong and fit, but are they really that muscular?
GeWee is right comparing warriors to soldiers: soldiers certainly don't spend all day at the desk, and yet they don't look like bodybuilders. Pre-industrial farmers - not muscular at all, despite all their hard work. Miners, luggage carriers, policemen - all these people train or work to be strong and fit, but not to have nice, round, shiny muscles.
