Are there any Sicilia sigs anywhere, Halie?

**Halie Satanus** · November 22, 2008, 02:30 PM

Yup, I just forgot to post them..

**Legio** · November 22, 2008, 02:59 PM

Halie, which faction is your favorite?

Mine are the Syrakousai.

**Reverend Scott** · November 22, 2008, 04:44 PM

Hmm, probably the Romani at the moment, though I've tried to play them a few times and been crushed every time..

Halie, where did you get all those faces for generals? Many of them simply those I've never seen in any RTW mod, many are quite funny, especially the Romans

**Aradan** · November 24, 2008, 04:21 AM

He's using FaceGen Generator.

As Aradan said I made them myself, I think they're pretty good, especially the Romani..( love the guys with the flat Mussolini type noses..

Yeah, and with big wide jaws and relatively narrow skulls

Unforgetable faces

How about hair and especially beards, does this program allow adding these too?

Congratulations Halie on this mod but i'm still waiting for WOS

Hey Halie I love your mod man I have got to +rep you.

Cool..

Good luck with your Romani campaign. I'm half way though mine at the moment (M/VH) and finding it a real challenge. The Greeks are all but finished and I have the west of Sicilia under Roman control, but Carthage are proving to be a major force sending full stacks of Poeni, Celtic, and Sacred Band units against me, they also seem to have a never ending pool of cavalry which can be routed quickly on the initial attack but always regroup. I've yet to manage to hold any settlement I've taken from them as money is short and maintaining strong field armies has been hard.

I'll try and put up some screen shots at the weekend.

**Caesar Julianus Morelli** · December 10, 2008, 09:52 AM

Cool man I will be checking in

Thank you so much! I love mods that allows for exploration of one part of the world in detail, rather than covering the whole "known world". For one thing, the coastline and the cities get to be the same ones (and same adjacent ones) over and over again, from one mod to the other, and it gets monotonous. Also, it's more clutter to have so many factions on the map and surrounded all around.
So it's great to have mods like EB/RTR/RS/XGM/IBFD that cover the whole known world, and allows for the historical play of all the factions. That's one kind of fun. But for variety's sake, it's also great to have mods like Sicilia, Iberia Total War (and the soon to be released Fate of Empire project from RTR), Arthurian Total War, Hegemonia City States (awaiting the development with great excitement) and Viking Invasion II that portray a subsection of the "known world", therefore with completely different coastlines and "world shape".

So there is the large-scale epic fun on a world map, and the provincial campaign fun on a subsection-of-the-world map. It's great to have both kinds of mods.

Thanks a lot, again.
