When Worlds Collide/ Hellenistic Twilight Released

[Darth Bane1]

Ah okay. Well, I'll ask him when I have the time. Thanks. Again, awesome screens. You're really using Neo's models well for new ones. Like the one cavalry unit which is originally a spartan hoplite unit and also the same model for a sacred band unit.

[leoni]

thank you, you are right....i liked them a bit more than the rs origin...i also made different helm-crest colours...i like the diversity now...i know, not everything may be historical correct..but its still a game right...

[LavaCreeper]

Looking awesome as always ! Just a remark, I have the impression that the soldier textures (armor and helmet) are less detailed than the shield's/horse's, is it because they're not fully finished or to save performance ?

[leoni]

its different from unit to unit...some cav soldiers, as for the generals-hetairoi are still rs origin, but the horses are remade...in case for neos units the texture quality is also different...also i have to scale up some textures, to add my or for example hig res shields from eb2...but in game it works quiet good...but for sure, i can and will not remake every unit...so some will stay like they are, from rs or neo...like the levy phalanx, where i changed nearly nothing...at the end that should be a good mix...i hope

[LavaCreeper]

Right, thanks for the clarification ! It must already be a huge work I imagine. Looking forward for more screens of your progress in any case.

[leoni]

its much work yes, but the best piece of work...its a welcome change from boring text work, bug hunting...coding...current work are the half and full armoured horses...

[nahun]

hey , the textures look amazing ¡¡¡¡

[Stath's]

Fantastic work!!!

[leoni]

[_Tartaros_]

whow, they look like evil panzer

[Darth Bane1]

Whoa! Those can absolutely compete with the Ala Catafracta in looking epic! That's what I call cataphracts. Amazing.

[leoni]

these horses are still just half armoured ones....the new rider is the best shaped one i could find, maybe some modeller will help to give them a more hellenistic helmet, cause in their origin, they are kushan cataphract riders...cataphract horses will follow

[nahun]

I offer a change

I'll help you with that, if you help me with my horse model: P (when this finish, put it in the game)



This is the model, even though I have a problem with the skin, but I'm studying how to fix it

[leoni]

what is my part of help, to put it in the game? or skinning it?

[nahun]

Only put in game , because I want put some photos of model in game

[LavaCreeper]

Huh, I wonder, are these tapestries on the back of the horses historically accurate ? It doesn't look very practical to go to war, even if it does look pretty good. I'm not a specialist in Hellenistic war lore, so please bear with me^^.

[leoni]

i think its more a question of what i like to see in the game, since what is really hist.accurate?!...from the spare sources, artefacts we have from the ancient...just imagine some years ago, no one would guess how colourfull the ancient, even their temples were...or the lost hellenistic wall paintings, we just know from some writings...and for the practical site...if you lead a full armoured horse into battle...those tapestries should be no problem at all...
finished the cataphracts...redo now the hetairoi horses...with fox, bear, panther, tiger skins....

[tomySVK]

Looks very good

[Alavaria]

People did have amazingly decorated armor etc.

If your horse was armored in the front and had some cloth over the back, why not have a patterned one...

[Philadelphos]

Great work on the units! But it seems that you still need to do a number of icons.
When would you expect to finish your mod?
And will people play it now with all the compatibility problems running RTW on Windows 10?
I'm asking because I have these doubts myself regarding my own mod RTH.
