AFAIK, he would need to take screenshots of them, but they don't exist in his build of EB (unless he happens to be an EB team member with access to the 0.81 trial build you have). Is there anyway to upload a zip which adds these seven units to 0.80?

If you can do that I, like Wonderland, would be willing to have a go at making the cards. Perhaps some other more talented forum readers would have a go too. The units sound rather cool (and mostly Roman?) so it would be shame to have peasant cards for them.

If I have misunderstood what's involved or it's too much trouble, ignore me as I'm pretty clueless about this kind of thing.

I meant we had created about 100 or so new UI Cards, not units. The seven I listed are all in v.80 and can be found by searching EDU (EB\Data\export_descr_unit.txt). For example, opening EDU and doing "find" for ;391 brings up the core stats for the Western Auxilia, including the Type and Dictionary names which are used in other files.

Or you could just select them in a custom battle, grab some screen shots, and use those to create UI Cards.

If you like them and are interested (and able to get them into 0.81):

p.s. Go right ahead and call me an idiot and say: ''Thats the Ala Imperatoria, not the Equites Thracum, you idiot'' ... Its been a long day

... A rename will solve that problem though

Tomorrow is a free day, I'll enjoy myself making some more then.

I cant believe I actually like making these

cool, with the balanced economy and the extra polish it should be a blast to play. Sounds like there are no more major things to add, but simply finishing and refining this monstrous mod

It is pretty funny, especially given your first post in the Chariot UI Card thread!

If you and/or others can knock out the remaining UI Cards in the next day or two, I'll make every effort to get them into the Patch.

Thats pretty funny indeed

.

I have a question, is the Carthaginian bodyguard still the same unit as the sacred band cavalry and in that case would one card be enough?

Hello. Marvelous news.

Just a quick question, have you sorted out the growth rates? I hope so but even if not I'll be playing.

Thank you.

Just quite annoyingly rememberd how I was probably only about 15/20 years from finishing as Carthage. Had half of Iberia and Italy. This makes me a sad panda.

I figured I'd try that Ala Imperatoria again, now with a 'less compromising' position.

For the germanorum pic see my first post, here is the others (as usual Ive screwed up: the western is the eastern and vice versa.):

and the rar with the tga's:

I did the small carthaginian anyway

, left is old, right is new.

**Spectral** · 02-14-2007, 17:06

I think the Eastern Auxilia is the one with the scale armour, your left pic ?

Anyways, excellent work :) Hope to see them in .81

Nice work man! And there's definitely time to get these into the patch. There's a chance we might also get a few of these from our in-house artists before the deadline, but either way the gap has been closed!
