Thread: Hairy Mercs

  1. #1

    Default

    For those interested, I've updated my mercenary texture pack in the dowloads section to 2.1 status. The several shirtless mercenary units, having finally grown into real men, now have properly barbaric hairy chests.

    I tweaked the colors on a couple of other units, but nothing major there. No file names have changed, so if you're already using my 2.0 mercs, simply re-copying the files into your game texture directory should do the job.

    (p.s. I see what happened now...posted it in the meta-forum insead of here.)

    Every time you think that the units could not be any more realistic, something like this happens!!

    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."

    Well, let's just say I draw the line at Googling "back hair." So don't think you'll be getting that anytime soon. Blech.

    :cool Actually the hairless Celts,were no wrong by any means, because it was customary for them to shave off chest hairs as a
    ritual thing *wink* the "clean" body was very important thing.....

    LoL!

    I've heard that the Romans actually shaved their arms. They thought hairy arms were barbaric apparently. I also heard that they didn't use razor blades (they didn't exist back then?) so they used coiled springs to "pinch" off the hairs. Ow.
    And maybe this made them better soldiers...i mean, if you can tolerate that, you can tolerate anything!
    Discovered! The real reason for Roman military success!

    Tsaverna, you are aware that there were swords in antiquity, right?

    native americans around the age of puberty would burn the skin with hot stones to prevent hair growth. I guess it worked dont wanna find out plus Im 20 years past puberty lol.

    Warspite, your textures are realy a treasure for us but to make hairy celts is under no circumstances tolerable!
    Celts used to shave ALL bodyhair, like the modern man, if not driven by old barbaric instincts ;O)

    More people should be using these skins as model for other units! These are great

    Muwaha-ha-ha-ha!!
    Holy Tom Selleck, Batman. All these guys need are some gold chains and open-neck silk shirts and they'd fit in in 1970's disco :lol
    But seriously, they're pretty good. Any chance of adding even MORE hair?
