Preview: The Romani - (II)

[Donkeycow]

No, the units shown there are not from EBII, I think they were done by some guy who ported them into M2TW from EB1 a while back, they crop up every once in a while to give EB fans a heart attack.

Edit: ah someone points out the mistake, the rest of the thread is, as XSarmatan says, a aggregation of our previews.

wait, thats how the EB1 models look in the M2TW engine? my goodness, why dont you just re-use most of the skins from 1? they look amazing! Also it would mean less work right? so possibly you could put some Roman Reforms in :p

Bobbin is incorrect. Those are not EBI models in MTW2. They are units specifically created for MTW2. They are not part of EBII. Those models and skins are more detailed than EBII models and skins (because they have no variation), let alone EBI models and skins.

love the campaign city strat models , will there be like that in the battle?

[Horatius Flaccus]

Not in the first release, it's very difficult to mod custom cities.

Not sure about the models but these two are definitely the skins for the Roman General and Cohors Evocata from EB.

Stunning!

[XSamatan]

Wait until you see the new units, THAT is stunning.

[Alkimachos]

Give us more shots team, with legions plz....

I love your mod...

After having re-read the OP for the first time since it was first released, I am (once again) super excited about this mod and desperate for more info! You guys do an amazing job with each and every preview. The amount of time and effort put into the previews makes me confident that the quality of the actual mod itself will be unparalleled.

Anyway, I wanted to say that I was pretty surprised at just how entertained I was by the government descriptions alone, and as such I'd like to, well, request more. I know the EB2 team likes to release huge previews loaded with information, but I for one would be very happy to see simple descriptions of the different factions' central authority buildings. That might be a relatively easy way to provide more previews, more often.

Love the idea of the political changes as well as the subfactions, something I'd been pushing for.

Keep up the good work!

the sole reason why anyone plays EB is already in beta/finished?

well release EB2, because Romans are done and that's all that matters.

sorry macedonia-lovers

Actually the Romans will not be done for the first release. Only Camillian Romans will be in and the rest will be added later.

historical accurate soldiers roman of polibian or mario reform.
i think that these legionary troops are of mario reform.
a excellent inspiration for the roman units.

[Mediolanicus]

EB tries to use primary sources where possible for the units, not drawings from others often based upon those same sources.

[gustave]

Yes, but good drawings are always useful for modelers and skinners.

scalling rope and poles!! where does that come from???? never seen that before. I thought early roman armies undermined walls as their main "wall taker" tactics.

BTW, what book did that picture come from?
