Hello,

Added some units successfully to SPQR, created by ferres, Hannibal Smith, King Louise Assurbanipal and Varangian & Neo, some unit cards by Conquistador. Discussed with LT that it could add some nice unit variety suitable for SPQR. Below some examples of the units:

Recruitable: In cities in the East and in Africa, replacing the original SPQR spear and sword auxilia there (pre & post Marian)
Ownership: Romans Julii

An overview of this addon:
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...17#post5309317


EDIT: What have changed since the extended beta:

- ALL unit stats have been updated, balanced and finetuned. Now it really makes a difference which units are used in different regions.

- 3 new units added, two taken out (see last unit presentation post). All in all there are 30 new extra units for Rome coming with this addon.

- Added officers and standard bearers to several units

- Some merc units also added to other factions

- Most text descriptions for the units have been updated (thanks a lot to Hesus de Bodemloze for help with gallic and germanic units)

- Some other bugfixes and small changes

- Adjustments impacting AI army composition (LT's idea)

- and also some hidden surprises that I will not disclose now but let the player discover himself


EDIT: Unit Addon [VERSION 1.2] is now released. For download follow the links below:

Install right over previous installation.

Changes:
- One unit, Etolia Cavalry (mercenaries in Greece) has been taken out due to graphical issues. Your save game should be fine unless you have already recruited this unit. If so, disband the unit before installing this Unit Addon version 1.2.
- Further unit balancing (mass)
- Script fixes
- Various graphical fixes

Changes included in patch 1.1 included:
- Legate Ancillaries effects adjusted
- AI superpower fix adjustments
- AI naval fixes
- Fixed the coding error causing CTDs when entering battles with new Gallic Cavalry

I started a new thread because the other was getting bogged by old information. Use this thread to download and ask about the addon.

I SUGGEST HIGHLY to everyone using the Addon already to DOWNLOAD this version which has all the fixes and is saved game compatible.

Well I got everything to work it looks like it's going well since I got it out of program files. Though when I fought Gaul in my first battle the enemy general did a suicide deal. He came out with some barbarian cavalry, the barbarian cavalry turned tail and went back into formation, the general stayed there got hit by my cavalry and AI reinforcements from the city. He lasted a long time then died. The reinforcement AI town hastati were acting as if they were being charged and flying up in the air while fighting him. I hardly have any time to play right now but I'll restart in a few days and see how it goes looking forward to it.

Just downloaded the addon, thank you LT, Sulla, and all involved, you all keep breathing knew life into RTW.

[lt1956]

I think you will find the addon ADDS alot to the gameplay IMO it does for me. The stability with factions not attacking eachother is really really nice. You dont feel as rushed now because of it. They stay put.

Yeah i noticed those diplomacy reports of greeks breaking there alliance with Dacia and at the same time becoming allies with macedonia and dacia again. This gives me some time to play on a slower level.

Yeah, I have the same side effect with those messages. The superpower fix works though, which I think is most important. The "Julii message" is gone with latest adjustments.

[Mont]

I have started a new campaign, have not played SPQR for some time, still as challenging as ever. I have a question about loyalty, none of my generals have any, is this a new feature, or has it been removed from the game?.

I have installed the addon over the original addon, perhaps thats the issue, but I can't say that I've seen any real change in any of my generals, 213BC, dancing with the gauls in northen Italy.

[S u l l a]

Yes, it is a feature. Loyalty is still there but we removed the rings. The new version can be installed right over the old and it is save game compatible. Just make sure you have NOT recruited the etolia cavalry (mercs in greece) in your save game, since we removed them for the addon (graphical issues).

[Mont]

Thanks for the reply Sulla, it makes me feel good knowing all is Ok.

[Samariten]

Nice to see some adjustments being made for this fine mod

[Ejergard]

Hey did you change how hoplites work? I've seen this new formation in a mod for EB a while ago, and I think it is a great addition, they fight more like a hoplite now instead of individual spearmen

EDIT

And the factionshields have been changed, they look even better now

[lt1956]

In SPQR 7.0 these changes were made and before in 6.4 so you must have not played SPQR in a while. The shield icons were changed to polish the mod up a little.

[Ejergard]

Ah, I saw a mercernary hoplite unit, and thought all hoplites was made to fight in that style. I'ld very much like to see all hoplites fight in the same style as these:

[Pontus]

Well everything is running smoothly this is a great game and far superior to the vanilla version. Definitely feels epic, creating an empire is not easy and takes a lot of time and thinking. So thanks to all of the creators it's great quality. The only problem I've noticed is that the enemy generals die near the very beginning of the battles. From what I recall before the add on they stayed clear for quite a while and they frequently charged my lines then withdrew and recharged again, or charged and then when in trouble take off.

[saienga]

Meh, probably a fluke. Depending on my formations and theirs, I'll go through periods with kamikaze generals, then it'll go back to the usual hit-and-fade stuff.

[lt1956]

About the only way to fix that is to make them Missile units. Hoplites in since SPQR 6.0 fought like that, its only the macedon style phalanx that fights different.

[Ejergard]

Hm, my greek hoplites, armored hoplites, spartans and that other unit fights with the old overhead style though, and they always have afaik, since 6.4 atleast. They still do in v7.0 w/ unitaddon 1.2

[lt1956]

They should fight overhead, thats the way the greeks fought, only the macedonians fought the vanilla style. I thought you meant something else.
