General and standard bearer skins in 0.8?

[fallen851]

I know I asked this question a long time ago, but that was back when .08 would only include 20 new units and the Yuezhi would still stay ( https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=62652 ), so will this new version include all the general skins and standard bearers?

[Moros]

The Romans will have them, also some others are finished. But this time there will be EB placeholders, using unit models. DOn't know the real specifics tough.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Foot (first and foremost by far) has been working hard with other members (spirit of rob, tk, spendios, et al.) to get temporary placeholders so we won't have to see the blasted vanilla ones in 0.8. But the generals/captains have been sorta down on the list of models/skins to be made because we wanted units first and foremost.

Prometheus' ones are great!

And indeed we will use Prometheus roman officers, even in their full glory with high res textures. .

i already use them in my EB0.74 installation...i ripped them from Res gestae mod, so that i didn't need to look at the ugly centurions/standards from the vanilla as it can be seen in the screenshots i posted at the EB screenshot thread....i also replaced the roman generals, and greek generals with models i found in TWC downloads area..and they look sweet...a few screens


this is a roman lesser general...


the Greek(epeirote) Family member/general


the new roman general, in a crowded street of Roma(i got the female/male roman peasants and dogs, and put them in towns=), and altered the textures of the ugly cubic buildings)

the greek lesser general i can't show right now, cuz im playing as a roman, im during a punic war right now agains safot softim bi quartadastim but i can get a shot of the greeks soon...

[spirit_of_rob]

The Greek ones are ATGs Greek faction generals if anyone is interested they are at TWC the Greek family member is stunning the rest are basiccaly quick reskins to fit the new model but i htink he is planning on adding the other factions generals at a later date

[iberus_generalis]

i reskinned part of the promethean standard bearer to be more suited to slaves/rebels in my romanii campaign...an now it looks like this...


the Victrix Sign was changed to Libere, to show the free spirit of slaves and rebels, change the round chield to an old rusty bronze shield, showing the outdated, old, and lousy equipment slaves and rebels used(cuz they were stolen or taken from the dead) and the standard is changed, and the face mask is now part of a skull, the bearer uses a skull as mask, being still possible to see his face beneah it...it still needs work but i like it as it is...

this standard bearers are for rebel roman units only...so please don't flame me too much...

[Markus_Aurelius]

Wow, that skin looks amazing..

[cunctator]

Very nice skin!

Can you try this motive? It's from a socii coin from the social war, an italic bull steps over the roman wulf.

[iberus_generalis]

i could give it a try, but it's a bit sloppy, can you ppl get a more detailed starting picture? it would save a lot of work and would be finished quicker...
Edit..forget it, i found a more detailed version of it at http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/co...button=summary se what i can do as soon as i end doing a few retextures of the walls, and some vegetation...all of wich i plan on releasing later...

Edit2- finished my reskin of the Wooden Walls/tower/ and Basic Wooden Gates now...here are a few pics...



and here is an update to the rebel Bearer...

im growing tired of the skull mask..maybe i'll remove it in the Future..the standard is now a bit threaded, to ilustrate the bad condition in wich it might have been kept hidden during captivity, and damage possibly suffered during the fight for freedom...don't know wich version i like best..if the all "brandnew" standard version, or the battered version...
next i'm gonna give the socii war standard a go....

[iberus_generalis]

i've given the socii emblem a go, and this is the result..don't know quite well what color to use, so help and feed back is welcome...

[cunctator]

Looks very promising. For the colour maybe red or blue, as on the saminite standards or white emblem on red ground anything colourful to get away from the black and white look of rebells in R:TW.

[iberus_generalis]

the texture is done and in place a long time ago....it's a green linen...with the red symbol...i'll post pics later...

[iberus_generalis]

here it is..a new emblem for the standard...don't mind the etruscan units in the background...just a few unit i decided to add to my EB0.74 install from another mod...and i don't plan on releasing those units for EB...they 're property of another team, if you want them good find them, and add them to your install..=P

hope ppl like the colors of the standard...this i would not mind to release later, as soon as i get permition for...

[Elthore]

i like the looks of that

[CountArach]

Great looking standard!

You should keep the mask. Standard bearers commonly wore them to set themselves apart from the unit IIRC.
