I'll do my best to be as accurate as I can be with my research and suggestions.

Darn, and here I was about to suggest Atlantean mercenary legionary cavalry wearing lorica segmentata and riding flaming pigs...

That unit would pwn! ZOMG!!1! w00t!!!11!one

Oh.. yes.. I added new campaign map graphics, it looks pretty sweet. I can't post any screens at the moment since I only have my laptop. I'm also in the process of adding factions to the map.

EDIT: Holy crap, I just noticed that my earlier post had a typo! I meant to say I'm not obessed with historical accuracy. lol woops

Atlantean mercenary legionary cavalry wearing lorica segmentata and riding flaming pigs, here we come!

Are you going to include Macedon?

**comrade_general** · 08-06-2008, 00:15

Oh right, Macedon has been included. You can see the planned roster on the ModDB page. Thanks for reminding me Dark.

How do you do all this stuff? You must need 3ds max to create the units, etc. Something to create the map. Add and change factions etc. How do you do it?

Also theres another light cavalry unit used by Greece and Macedon called Podromoi.

I sense a little frustration, Dark. PI's modeler has 3ds max, but mostly we use models already in the game. He uses it to modify those units sometimes, but the primary use is to make UI's. I work on the map with just Photoshop. Everything else is just done with notepad to edit the text files. Just read up on the tutorials posted around, the rest is trial and error. You'll get the hang of it if you keep trying.

As for Macedonia, the roster is only in planning phase. No units have been given to them yet since I'm too busy with the map. The unit 'light cavalry' is pretty much the same thing, I can just change the name.
