Err, excuse me.

I'm sure I'm just nitpicking but I was looking at a screenshot on the site and being the Roman Army enthusiast that I am I spotted this.

I was just wondering, thats an Augustan Legionary, right? If he is then I think he maybe has the wrong helmet on. That looks like an Imperial Italic, or Gallic, Helmet, he should really be wearing a Coolus style helmet at that date.

It's not like it's a really big thing it just, well looks a little odd, thats all. I really love the model it looks about one hundred times better than CA's.

I don't think they wore breaches until quite late either but that might look a bit dodgy in-game.

HAH, if you think not having breeches would be a bit dodgy, you haven't seen the Gaesatae. Just search the forums for that. (just ruined another perfectly good thread)

It should be a Coolus helment...but it does in fact seem to be one.

I was going to say I took that picture months ago. No telling what has changed since then.

Err, Querty, its definately Imperial Itallic, why? It has the flanges over the ears and the back of the helmet drops before the neck guard comes out, its significantly different to the image you posted. Also the neck guard isn't that developed in the Coolus style Looks like Itallic C+, with the neck guard sticking out like that. Incidently congrats to the modeller and skinner that created a helmet I can actually try to identify by letter.

Yeah your right, I didn't look that carefully. Good eye.

Trust me, man, noone will notice. As long as it looks pretty Roman, the average person cannot tell. The only thing that will catch the layman's eye is if the legionaries were wearing something really off, like the Phalangite-style "dildo" helmet. (I don't know what it is called... but it really looks like an ancient- okay, I'll stop.) Point is, if it looks pretty accurate, noone will notice.
