This mod Looks very nice. I would sure like to better test it

I can help with some textures if you wish. I cant wait to see another preveiw
Oh and by the way I think you should make some more units for Dacia, loads of people always want more choise with Dacia but not many mods give it. I for one would like to see it

Good Luck

**florin80** · June 30, 2007, 09:04 AM

Good luck with this! I like what you did with the hastati. Just curious. Did you also edited the leather straps that hold the breast plate so that they won`t end right in the middle of the back as they did before?

**Darth Caesar** · June 30, 2007, 10:22 AM

the hastati look close to spartacus's slaves equipped with legionary armour from the 77 BC mod. I would hate to wear white in battle, imagine cleaning all the blood...lol

**Caesar2345** · June 30, 2007, 12:51 PM

lol well I’m just about to release the first mini preview of the Romans. And unfortunately I don’t have 3DS MAX so I cannot edit this. I want to change and add stuff to the models when we do hopefully get someone who is willing to work for this mod and has 3DS MAX etc. I have some good ideas which unfortunately cannot be implemented until we have someone who can model.

**Caesar2345** · June 30, 2007, 12:58 PM

PRE-MARIAN ROMANS

Etruscan Tribes

Caesar,i want to suggest that you should rename the Etruscan tribes to Etruscans,because they lived,mostly,in cities

**Caesar2345** · July 02, 2007, 10:49 AM

Good job so far, Caesar. Best of luck to you!

**Darviathar** · July 05, 2007, 04:11 AM

Other than the Etruscans and Mauryan Empire, what new factions can we expect / what factions (that we are used to) will not be represented?

I strongly suggest you seek to accomplish the impossible with a RTW mod....Make the Parthians a powerful faction that lasts longer than 30 years!!!!

I also hope you get away from the 4 turns/ year system. I realize this is probably an unpopular suggestion, but this would really help the game feel more historical in my opinion. Games simply move by too quickly; its far too easy to raise an army and travel around the map (without any attrition factor). By 250 bc in most of my games, the battle for the middle east and asia minor is generally over; one faction is in dominant position. I play Rome as historically as possible, and hate having to trigger the Marian reforms in the 220's, more than 100 years early, but the distance from my troop producing cities to the battles being fought in Asia minor neccesitates this. I'd also change the trigger for the Marian reforms if at all possible; it is far too easy to grow Capua to the point where the Imperial Palace is available, thus triggering the reforms as early as 260 BC.
