[68 Powers]

i was just asking cause all these building and stuff..
looks like my dreaded enemy EB haha and their scripts.

[lemons]

Calm down, and get back on topic. Back on topic if I may ask could you give me a preview of a peoni heavy infantry if you redesigned them? Weve put all of our focus on guals, parthia, and pontus, but how carthage?

Look at eh stickied threads, and there is one for Carthage and Iberia.

Oh wow, I'm really excited about the new buildings. The more choices the better!

The Celtic champions looks choice as well.

This Is a grate idea, I like it very much. But I have own question, In Rome total war You can look around your City from with in the Walls. I've been playing The mod which I think is grate by the way. Anyways when you try to look around your City's in the mod it crashes. I assume its not built in to the mod, but will you be able to do this in the next version?.

Another preview - again a unit you have already seen - this is one of Antiochus Epiphanes' skins which he has updated since the Seleucid preview.....it's a Seleucid Kataphractoi - definitely one of my favourites.






Thanks to EB for giving permission to use both the kataphrctoi and armoured horse models

[Octavius-Augustus]

Is his face... Metal?

[Matse]

It is a facemask. Even Romans sometimes used such metal face protections.

[Ephialtes The Dog]

Nice!

[MarcusTullius]

Seleucid Kataphractoi looks amazing
Good job as always!

The 'city views' will be fixed in RS1.5.

I think those are the current carths form 1.0c.

@Augustus. No. Sometimes the saxons wore them to intinidate their enemies. I must say that mask makes him look a little scarier.

[Ephialtes The Dog]

Lemons is right but they also wore them for protection.

[aja5191]

@ lemons:

The Carthaginians and Iberians were the first factions re-skinned in preparation for RS2. So we decided to throw the fans a bone and show them those skins.

[lemons]

@aja

Okay, danke(that german for thanks).

@the dog.

I think the romans wore those for protection mostly againt huns, because the huns would throw a rope with a noose type thing when they were on their horse to strangle the romans. Damn huns. But the saxons didnt care if they got hurt because they were all bloodlust, I think the saxons only wore them for intimidation. But because these were time consuming and expensive they werent used much.

[Matse]

There was also one found in the Teutoburger Wald (where Varus lost, not sure how it is called in English).

[frankus]

are the roman named legions being 'redone' for RS2.0?

[tone]

Yes there will be some "redoing", although whether they appear in the first release or not remains to be seen - possibly not.
