A quick modding tutorial on how to add the pontic legionnaries to your faction. All files to modify are in the 77bc\data folder.
Open the export_descr_units file. Look for rtr pontic legionnary. Quote the officer line, add romans_julii to the ownership and change the name of the soldier, like this:
Code:
type rtr pontic legionary
dictionary rtr_pontic_legionaries
category infantry
class heavy
voice_type Heavy_1
soldier pontic_legionary, 40, 0, 1.3
;officer east_heavy_standard
mount_effect horse -2, camel -2,
attributes sea_faring,hide_forest,can_sap,hardy
formation 1, 2, 2, 3, 5,square
stat_health 1, 0
stat_pri 10, 2, pilum, 35, 2, thrown, blade, piercing, spear, 15 , 1
stat_pri_attr prec,thrown,thrown ap
stat_sec 10, 2, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, sword, 0 , 0.3
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 8, 14, 8, metal
stat_sec_armour 0, 1, flesh
stat_heat 2
stat_ground 0, 0, -1, 1
stat_mental 17, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 2, 607, 331, 104, 112, 528
ownership pontus, romans_julii
Now open descr_model_battle and add this paragraph at the bottom of the file:
Code:
type pontic_legionary
skeleton fs_javelinman, fs_s1_gladius
indiv_range 40
texture romans_julii, 77bc/data/RTR/models_unit/textures/pontus_legionary.tga
texture pontus, 77bc/data/RTR/models_unit/textures/pontus_legionary.tga
model_flexi_m 77bc/data/RTR/models_unit/rome_early_legionary_high.cas, 15
model_flexi_m 77bc/data/RTR/models_unit/rome_early_legionary_med.cas, 30
model_flexi_m 77bc/data/RTR/models_unit/rome_early_legionary_low.cas, 40
model_flexi 77bc/data/RTR/models_unit/rome_early_legionary_lowest.cas, max
model_sprite pontus, 60.0, 77bc/data/RTR/sprites/armenia_roman_legionary_cohort_i_sprite.spr
model_sprite romans_julii, 60.0, 77bc/data/RTR/sprites/armenia_roman_legionary_cohort_i_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f
To add the proper unit cards, open the UI\units_info\pontus folder and copy the file RTR_PONTIC_LEGIONARIES_INFO to the UI\units_info\romans_julii folder.
Do the same with the file #RTR_PONTIC_LEGIONARIES, copying it from UI\units\pontus to UI\units\romans_julii
If you want to add them as recruitable to the Roman barracks just let me know.
Great Mod-questions and bug report
.... playing as Rome...the armies the Senate sends to you that spawn in asia minor , can not be controlled, they are there , but you can not use them... maybe this is intentional?The dates of objectives seems out of place...in 64BC the advisor says i have to fufill my goal by 65BC????its like this with all objective dates BTW...now for the big question... i would like to be able to as SPQR use Pontic legionaries... i went in and edited every file i thought possible , and even used the console to spawn them , but they end appearing as peasants, and when i load the battle it says "77bc/data/RTR/models_unit/textures/pontus_officer_heavystandard.tga" missing i assume it has to do with the aor or zor, i even tried adding "rtr pontic legionary" to the desc_mercs.txt list but still no luck...some help would be great!And i would also like to know how to add Marcus Antonius "Mark Antony" to Caesars Family tree in 1.2, so when i choose to take over as Caesar he will be a part of that faction... i know its Roman_Scipii, im just not sure on what to do... even if i have to overwrite the Lucius Julius character with an older age , that will be fine...sorry for the long post... keep it up guys, great work, and like i said i would love to beta 58BC

There were some mistakes with dates in that version. I think that I fixed all of them but I have always been very bad with numbers, as you know 
. I hope that 2.0. "mission trait" is more helpful.
