Downloads: Watchtower Romana Project 1.0 (MED2)

Hi everybody. I m davide.cool and i made a brandnew mini-mod project, this time related to "roman watchtower" viewable on strat-map.... why am i doing this particular thing? simply because i always thought CA lacked in some "realism", especially in smaller things as a simple watchtower. Everytime i entered vanilla game with Roma, a sense of discouragement about "historically incorrectness" punched me in the face.. and it hurts

As u already know or remember, vanilla Roman tower's shaped as a very primitive little tower.. perfect for little sighting in the middle of nowhere / quiet places inside SPQR territory, BUT useless to sight in dangerous areas close to the limes or in interior zones, where "rebellion seed" is growing up faster


To show you the Roman engeneering on sighting, i make u see a a modern reconstruction of a tower at limes Germanicus, based on historical Roman accounts:








And this is the WATCHTOWER ROMANA 1.0




This could be classified as an early tower, in fact has just the palisade around as protection and not a stone blocks bunker protection/reinforcement. I reinforced the "trunk/body" of tower with vertical and horizontal axis, to protect the original structure against natural disasters as earthquakes etc and to distribute uniformely the weights, as it was in reality.



Here below, a closer detail of Roman style balcony + reinforcement axis







How it look like in MEDII





how it look like in RTW vanilla








INSTALLATION README MED2

- copy and paste the "watchtower folder" and txt inside .rar, inside med2 data...
if you are using vanilla med2, you are ready to play (too see tower you should play with Venice)
if you are using a mod, you should edit the txt giving the new directory to watchtower folder (in game, tower is used by Venetians, but whenever you want, you can replace strings with faction you want)
