Red five, standing by.

Been out of the modding game for a while... But got a shedload more books now. The doctor life keeps me busy, but I would be honoured to help in any capacity. Unfortunately I don't have Discord and...

I'm with you guys on this. This is rather sad though. :(

Let's not forget the evocati - who could be called to their standards if needs be.

Rizzle is my Steam account name. :P

There's a mod called RM_TEXTURE 1.4 New units Rome&Carthage on the Steam Workshop for RS2 - it's got some named legions that look suspiciously like RS2's. The Legio Adiutrix and Legio Gallica look...

It was just posted on Know Your Meme. I thought it looked really cool. Heard the music, thought I was imagining things, then listened again to be sure. I was rather confused by it all. :P

I may be just imagining things but the music in this video sounds very familiar...

it's not great.

Yeah, I agree - Empire/Napoleon's tech tree was a little more varied. As you say - modding! :)

Civ IV's manual was as thick as the DVD box the game came in! I miss big instruction manuals, I really do.

let us all bow down and thank dvk for this wonderful mod! *does the Ewok worship thing, like they do to C3PO in Return of the Jedi*

it reminds me of the Asterix comics for some reason.... that'd be quite cool though! :)

it's still vanilla, patched to 1.5.

aww. now i can't just load up my towns with town watch and archers! damn you!!!! :P

the second photo's not artillery - it's a wheeled machine gun, with a small shield for the gunners, in the old soviet style. 8-) Do the armenians really use such antiquated SOVIET equipment?
any...

i liked the experience thing... ah well.

awww, please, let the Roman archers be recruitable. i like using them, and i really can't be arsed moving them around the empire. let me do that with the legions, but not the archers as well. if we...

Huzzah! Well done Tone, we knew you'd get it in the end! :)

anything that wears segmentata armour does it for me! :) but, back on topic. anyone else got any comments about the Free People's violent tendancies?

syrians are widley available throughout the middle east and asia minor.

they are Roman Auxilia Archers. they just werent roman citizens. but they were trained and equipped and paid by the roman state, so they are "Roman" troops in the sense that they're part of the Roman...

i was not aware of that! thank you, DVK. :) my point is, the "roman" archer auxilia are drawn from every bow using people within (and occaisionally outside) the Empire, and the italians didn't really...

just as the infantry auxilia represents gauls, egyptians, germans, belgians, greeks, africans, asians, thracians, illyrians and all the rest, so the archer auxilia is a blanket unit for all units of...

back to the Boii now then?

why didn't you change the cost of the first cohorts, rather than their size? :(

compound bows were more powerful yet shorter ranged than normal ones, as i understand it. and the roman "archer auxilia" unit represents syrian archers (who would've been equipped with compound bows,...

hardier he may be, but less well trained, and armour wise, less well equipped. so i'm reckoning lower defence, because archers had atleast scale mail and a helmet!

the seleucid general's helmet is a little too low over his eyes. apart from that, stunning work!

i concur. you guys deserve some time off to recuperate! :)

the legion for the region hasn't been specified, so basically you get all units recruitable. this causes a CTD, as only 30 units are allowed to be recruited. hence your CTD.

so, Polybian Cohort, and Polybian Triarii?(i'm just suggesting possible names). :)

hehehe. not that Pax Romana won't be universal eventually, it'll just take a bit more time....

imagine what it was like for the Palatium, trying to keep track of all this!!! and auxiliaries, and local levies, and the fleets, and mercenaries, and everything else!

double post, watch that.
As for your ideas, the Roman Empire expanded, and its legions stayed the same size for around 200 years, if not more! so that puts that increased city - increased unit...

if that's the case, what about africans in the south? and Arabs in the east?

carroballistae were a Roman thing. they're in BI, and to be honest i was never too fond of them. though perhaps them getting Roman auxilia instead of Theurophoroi after the Marian reforms makes...

Salve, Frater! Welcome to the mod team, Zaknafien! I was invited in for the same reasons you are, so if you have any questions about this magical palce we call the RS forums (Better than real life....

erm, DVK? i thought our start date was 218 b.c. - the V/H/P/T/E (velites/hastati/principes/triarii/equites) thing was still going on then....

well, it can't exactly get worse, can it? :P
