Batavia Total war - [Continued]

[intifadanyz]

Thats the spirit!
BTW i think anyone likes the Native names..... If you always use 'Noble warriors' or 'noble cavalry' and the title 'chosen' it would be boring...

Well, not everyone. you can always find them not far from here.

Equites Batavordorum Update:
There almost done but they could have some more... Still thinking how to improve them... WIP

[Spike]

I think you should re look the alpha layer on the spears

[Valkar]

I rarely use alpha channels.... Do you mean the somewhat red glow?
Its still WIP

yeah, but you must re set the alpha, and possibly the UV mappings as well, since the spearhead and tskins didn't match well

[Valkar]

? I think its just somewhat quick done uwv mapping... I will improve it later..

[Irishguy]

maybe some kind of breast plate or another helmet? I don't know if that's historically correct but...

[Valkar]

The Breatstplate is historical correct for roman cavalry, i don't know if i can tell the same off the helmet.. Will do some research later.

[Irishguy]

ok ^^

[Sabazios]

give them facemasks

[Valkar]

these facemask were not uused by equites batavorum, but i use a mak fot roman cavalry

[Irishguy]

aren't the masks typical for roman equites batavorum?

[Valkar]

Don't know... I searched it but i didn't found... I just add the facemask to some roman elite cavalry unit..

[Cinuz]

Actually, I know that the masks were used just in parades, not in battles! But it's something kinda obvious. Think about it: the roman cavalry was more mobile than the oriental cataphracts (who, sometimes, wore masks), so they needed a more wide view of the battlefield; the cataphracts instead only had to charge, retreat and charge again so the mask was some kind of protection to their faces. Moreover some fonts report us that in the hand-to-hand combat they were ineffective, both to their slow movements and to the fact they couldn't follow the enemies' movements, that were too fast for them.

[Irishguy]

thanks for that information
Ok without masks....

[Valkar]

Yup...

[Cinuz]

Glad of being of service..

[Sabazios]
