Roma Surrectum II: Previews and Discussions

[lemons]

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

Youre saying maybe. I no you no.

[aja5191]

We really don't.

Please realize that our goal as team members is not to trick you, rather to help show you what you're going to be treated to in the next RS establishment.

[lemons]

"chokes while drinking lemon juice". Uh, okey.

[Burninator]

Someone say Romans?



The new Very Early Legionnaire. Note new gladius hispaniensis, Lorica Hamata armor, Montefortino helmet. More to come.

[lemons]

Looks good, but imperial legions are my forte.

[Octavius-Augustus]

Yeah, I basically knew what this kind of mask can be used for, but I like the way it's done; it's like his helmet and his mask are one with his face... Truly intimidating.

Looks good, but imperial legions are my forte.

Yeah, bring out those Imperials. My favourite too.

[Matse]

Yes, show them so we can slaughter them.

[Blackshamrock.]

Thanks for that. The new previews are grate. I think all looks grate so far keep up the good work I cant wate to play it. Any idea when it will be out?.

[Gaius Georgeus]

Love those caligae...Great job done...

[Burninator]

Variety's going to be the motto for Rome. There were no Polaroids from the age of Rome, so very little concrete evidence is left in terms of shield patterns, when what legion received what equipment, what color tunics were used, etc. We're looking for everything to naturally evolve over time, no scripts, no "pre-made" Marian reforms. Same way it is in the modern military. Just because Lorica Segmentata was invented, didn't mean every single legionnaire received it on that day.

[tone]

Yeah, I tell you, once Burninator is finished with these Romans, you'll be amazed - this guy is GOOD

[SNIGEL]

Another great skinner, were do you find these guys?

[Burninator]

Great skinner? nah...I've much to learn... I do lots of google image search and grab pics of real equipment when I can. You'd be amazed how much better detail comes from bumping skins from 256 to 512.... but then the originals were intended for 256, so you have to re-vamp everything.

I'd LOVE for some sort of "master archive" of textures to be created.... make a nice big pallete for me to pick and grab from. Metals are a special sort of pain to scratch-make. just getting the colors and tones correct.. uuhhhhh

[Nellup]

But still, that early legionary looks great, I look forward to seeing more of your work burninator.

[Burninator]

Believe you me, there's plenty to do. i still have to re-uvw the lower-res models of the imperial legionnaire, plus likely many more models. But then, I've become a well oiled machine after a bit. Trust me though, the other factions besides Rome (there are other factions?) are gonna blow your pants off.

[Cyrus the Virus]

Kudos to you!

[Blackshamrock.]

Well what ever you do I cant wate. Now in regard to the revamp of the Roman Legions, If my history is right. All Legion airs whore a cape died in blood i forget but anyways my point being bring on the 13th.

[Burninator]

from what I've been able to find, the little capes in RTW just don't seem to fit. Legionnaires had cloaks for wear on the march, which doubled as their bedroll, but as far as combat, I haven't really found anything. Seems like a similar situation to the spartan's red cloaks, and whethere they wore them in battle.

[Blackshamrock.]

OK I was thinking about the patoreins Black cape.

[SNIGEL]

Is it possible to see some Spartan units?
