Faction Uniformity

[Martelus Flavius]

No Uniformity! except a kind of it for certain state equipped troops.

At best you will find a reccurence of emblems on the shields (to represent a local god, etc..), or equipement types.

[oudysseos]

Indeed, this is one of the things that is taking so much time.

It will be well worth the wait!

So, exceptions made for state-equipped troops, chances are the Epeirotes, even if their armour is varied, won't all be wearing green tunics?

[lenin96]

That made me think: Why did Epeiros where green?

[keravnos]

How can one possibly answer such a question?
This was decided upon much prior to me being a member of EB, so I can't really say.

[machinor]

Simple answer: why not?

If epeiros wasn't green what colour would be suitable?

garance?

[keravnos]

Like I said, this has been decided upon prior to me joining the mod. Therefore I don't know which were the guiding reasons for that choice. It could have been any other color. I honestly think there isn't any meaning in this thread.
One of the easiest answers that come to mind, is that Epeiros is green. Very mountainous but green all year, because in it there is the most precipitation in Greece. In Epeiros it rains, even during the summer. The level of precipitation in Epeiros is about the same as Hungary.

[Bucefalo]

Well, my guess is that it could be related to the oracle of Dodona? I did a quick search and wikipedia says: Priestesses and priests in the sacred grove interpreted the rustling of the oak (or beech) leaves to determine the correct actions to be taken.

So something related to those trees of the sanctuary?

[Spartiaths]

i believe that keravnos' thought is a more possible explanation
but all that about the color is somehow off topic and meaningless

Pyrrhos was known to be an environmentalist, that's why he invaded Rome, to help fight global warming.

[Vasiliyi]

I was wondering about the uniformity myself. Will "barbarian" units see a complete lack of uniformity? What i mean is will they be able to not only look different, but have different weapons? One man gets a spear, another sword, and yet another an ax? Is this possible within engine limits or am dreaming? Still I would be cool. Even if their shields were different shapes.. That would make me drool.. I cant wait for this mod to be released. (BUT I WILL)

Variety is great, but will we still see a stark difference between the magnificiently oppressive uniformity of the Romans and the rest? It was one of the reasons why I like to play as Rome in EB.

How much can different people in a unit vary? For example how many shields/helmets/uniforms can there be in one unit?

im actually quite curious about this, can someone answer me this please?

[bobbin]

Not sure about the limit of different sheilds/armour/helemts ect, but the EB team said they will do roughly 4-5 different patterns per faction in one of the Steles.

Today almost all soldiers wear green. Pyrrhus was just 2000-ish years ahead of the fashion trends.

[A Very Super Market]

Depends on where they are. Who would wear jungle camo in finland?

actually, its one of many colors that soldiers wear-none realy green.

the Israelis wear Olive drab, the US a grey-green color (or camo), the egyptians an olive or khaki color, etc.

but yeah, he was apperently ahead of his times. even his chaionian agema was ahead of his time, with their scarlet tunics-like redcoats
