300' Warlords of Sparta.

[RomaVictor6969]

epic ^^

[Halie Satanus]

Couple of new guys, Spartan Helots and Peltastes...Not sure whether to make the Helots a peltast unit and Peltastes into a ''throws spear before charge'' type unit...Hmm.

looks good keep it up

[Nergal1610]

I thought I might as well announce it, see if anyone was interested in playing it?.

lol as if someone wouldn't play this mod when it comes out
Don't underestimate the 300 fanboys who are interested in playing your mod.

During puberty, as is customary in the internets, the boy was taken from his family and plunged into a world of violence, manufactured by 5 years of internet society to create the most pitiful fanboys the world has ever known. The TWCenter, as it's called, forces the boy to debate, starves him, forces him to write spam... and if necessary, to annoy the modders with irritating question of release date.

Holy **** Halie, those are amazing looking. The shields are especially nice. That hoplite shield is probably my favourite one I've seen for a while.

[Halie Satanus]

Nergal1610...Hehe..

RM#3.. The one on the right, or the scorpion one...

This project looks promising, but I was wondering what some of the finer feauteres would be? What I mean is things such as scripts certain things like EB and RTR's city mod where cities can't grow to huge unless they are important (mods without this bug me), etc. Also, will you make it optional or include skins that make the immortals, beserkers, and archers look more realistic instead of Japanese-esque warriors or brutal ogres from LOTR.

Oops, I thought there was Helots and Hoplites. I meant the scorpion, its very good and realistic looking.

Well firstly I know bugger all about scripting and there isn't really a team, saying that I hope to get the mod to a point where it will be enticing enough to rope in someone who knows how to script..

Anyway, The restricted growth sounds interesting.

Other things I hope to get included, 4 turns per year, and the opening move to be the battle of thermopylae, obviously I don't want to give up all the details but I have a few ideas on how to make it interesting.

Also, will you make it optional or include skins that make the immortals, beserkers, and archers look more realistic instead of Japanese-esque warriors or brutal ogres from LOTR. Or

Possibly, I guess, though then I may as well include accurate Spartans and the other Greek units, and I happen to know there's at least one other Spartan mod in production (not been announced yet) .. Which I believe is aiming for accuracy..

A'yup, I like that one to, though tbh I prefer the Helot shield because I made it from scratch..

[Roman_Man#3]

That is very impressive, very nice shield boss. It looks a lot better at a higher resolution and different view than the UI card.

*In a commanding voice* "All bowdown to the illustrious Halie Satanus, king of texture making."

Great job Halie, this looks awesome. +rep for the lovely mod Idea.

[Halie Satanus]

[Roman_Man#3]

Halie's improving. He did not mention the name of the mod this time

Can't say the same for the jokes though...

They didn't say...Hmm, wonder why.

Best of luck with your mod.

Boo Hiss Boo...

He's behind you...


Ephilaties, Persian spy...

Looks Good HS! I really like that Spartan peltast/hypaspist unit with the scorpion shield. Very nice feel and look.

Just my two cents - you could still do an immortal that would take on more of a persian feel and stay true to the Miller feel, as opposed to the Ninja Turtles that were in the movie.

Just a verbal sketch - but maybe use that rust colored garb you had for the standard bearer, throw some patterns on it (Or use the pattern from the old movie "300 Spartans) and give them a cataphract face mask - but of a persian style

Like;

Do the face mask all gold, and extend the beard down like a neck guard, with empty eye sockets and then give them a big wicker shield.

Just throwing ideas around though - anything is better than the Ninja Turtles

[Halie Satanus]

If I get some free time one day I'll probably knock up some alternative units that can replace the 300' style ones, something a bit more historical in design, if I get time. I will release it with the ''Ninja turtles'' though.
