Gaesatae implementation

**khelvan** · 12-30-2004, 08:14

Greetings! I was hoping to get the input of the folks who will be playing EB when it is released.

As a mod team we are dedicated to historical accuracy. This, however, brings up a dilemma with respect to the depiction of the Gaesatae. These warriors fought completely naked, no clothing whatsoever. Our initial thought was to give them a loincloth, so as not to pose a problem for our younger players.

However, one might assume that based on the level of historical accuracy we are attempting to achieve, the core of our audience will be more mature RTW players. On the other hand, we can and probably will market this mod as an educational tool in some respects, which will be difficult if we have anatomically correct Gaesatae.

So, the question is, how do you think we should implement these fierce warriors?

Khelvan,

I'm afraid for realism sake you must include them. lol I too was debating this I guess it could be considered Pornography, but it IS realism. But I wont be including it in my mod. I feel the guy who made the CAS delebtarely made the penis large and in my opinion it was excessive more as a little joke and bragging about himself. I would suggest a more realistic cast in the area, if you do it.

lt1956, I am not familiar with this CAS you are talking about. The EB team has created a unit concept from scratch, and will be modelling the unit based on this concept. So I can't comment on how large or small our model will be in comparison. What I can tell you is that we will do our best to portray the Gaesatae in a historical manner.

Are we going to be covering statues in the cities as well? Bah. If we're going to be historical, let's be historical. We can always do like Osprey and in animation cover the naughty bits with shield :)

Well thats good to hear.

That other cas was neat but stupid really, the guy who made it was more for a joke than accuracy.

But if it can tactfully be done then I would like to see a Naked fanatic thats naked. But I really think it needs to be done right.

As to the statues, They were not painted in color as human, I bet you if they were they would cover them. lol Of course you could make all the fanatics like marble? lol
