since we are in the era of the dictatorship of Sulla, will recommend you for another Roman faction, so that there are civil wars

I'm amazed your the first one that suggested this... Let's say that the factions are already decided... It's up to you to make an opinion wheater we added 2 Roman factions or not

[+MementoMori+]

or maybe new skins for marian roman, new helmet,
lorica segmentata,etc.

a AOR (area of reclutament) of the legions
Legio XII Fuminata for example, Legio I germanica, Legio IX, etc

lorica segmentata


this helmet on legionnaire NO !!

AOR (area of reclutament) of legions

Actually, this mod starts in 80 BC, the end of his dictatorship (he resigned and was elected consul with Metellus Pius). However five important conflicts were starting but no faction slot needs to be wasted.

Spartacus' rebellion (73 BC attacks Campania region... scripting?)
Rebel general Marcus Amelius Lepidus (77 BC controls Eturia region)
Third Dalmatian War (78 BC rebels control Dalmatae)
Mithradates is beginning to re-build his army
Sertorian War (obviously Sertorius is being represented ).

These should be represented in the game as they add further difficulty to maintaining the over-extended republic.

EDIT: btw the lorica segmentata was not widely used until 9AD (maybe veteran units should have upgrades?). The chainmail (lorica hamata) was the most used until then.

We won't have different legions, like RS has. We think it's a waste of faction slots... However about the addition of a LS unit... Well... I won't tell anything .

In 80 BC Sulla was still the de-facto leader of Rome, and we will try to represent that the best we can, including the power struggle once he dies or sth...

when released this mod? and how install this mod?
rome totalwar;barbarian invasion;patch 1.6 and novus ordo mundi and not is necessary europa barbarorum 1.2?,thanks.

[Anubis88]

It's to soon to set a release date... We are about 50 % done on the factions, but i have no idea how long it will take to actually make a modpack to release the mod.

The mod will be for Barbarian Invasion, but i can't tell if you will need the original EB 1.2 or not. We haven't made a decision about that yet.

[rocknrollrefugee]

Are any of those historical events I mentioned going to be represented in some way? Sulla was only Consul for a few years before he "retired" and soon thereafter, died. Also a suggestion would be the starting positions of three key people: Sulla-Rome, Metellus Pius-Consular army near Hispania (to start the Sertorian War), Pompey-Africa.

Man oh man, I'm sorry I've been away so long, college became a priority, and I can't
really play EB here.

Good stuff, EB: NOM team, this looks really good so far,
Also, can someone PM me the link to the Dev Forum?
I lost the link a while back.

Those Ptolemaic units look awesome.

Are any of those historical events I mentioned going to be represented in some way?

Yes... But i won't tell you which ones and how

[rocknrollrefugee]

LMAO! Anubis you've got me salivating more than a fat guy at a BBQ! I just can't wait for this mod... or the next preview

[Lionheart]

Your words are very kind.

I believe some events sugested will be represented. We just need to decide the why about the representation. Scripted events are a option.

However i may be jump ahead but we also need guys that can make faction videos and someone that possess know how about music and programing.

However all this goes straight to Anubis. So if you possess that knowlages send a pm to Anubis and expose your knowlages. I believe we will listen you very throughly.

[Marcus Marcellus]

The only skills i have is more siutable for the after party when the MOD is done

[Anubis88]

A little preview... Well... For the preview

Can you guys guess which unit is this?

[Dan Rares]

I think is a piece from Haysdan ? right ?

[Anubis88]

It will be recruitable by Hayasdan, yes, tough not at the start

[Skullheadhq]
