Hmmm i guess it come to you, when you thought about it

[ahowl11]

im trying to implement a barbarian "naked fanatic" unit for the britons.. will post a screen if it works

[ahowl11]

And here it is!

Naked Fanatics for the Britons!

I just need to name them and give them a description

then I will look for more units to implement

[Caesar15]

I don't see anything "naked" about them

[ahowl11]

play the vanilla RTW game and you will find "Naked Fanatics" that look just like those on

Dacia
Gaul
Germania and
Spain

I have found Chosen Archer Warband for Briton as well as Warband (The one with the shirt similiar to rebels and mercenaries) for:
Britons
Gauls
Germans
Dacia
Scythia

Hello, HRTW team. I'll be unofficially joining you as a researcher and (when I get my computer fixed, which will be soon) a beta tester. I've been in contact with ahow and he's okayed it. My primary area of expertise in the historical researcher role is the Greeks, but I can probably help out with the Romans, too.

[medievaldude]

Oh yea i should start doing some writing on the Seleucid army, as i promised ... Anyways I'm gonna start Egyptian (Ptolemaic) banner

[ahowl11]

Welcome Spartan198! If you have any questions about research ask Asgaroth as he is head researcher/historian, and he is my right hand man.

I like the sandish effect on the General's Banner! What you guys think ..? I got really irritated with the placing of the eagle on the banner of the left i mean trying to find the right spot for it xD

[Pharoah]

yay a new team member. welcome. spartan



@ mediveal How dare you post befor me nice banners though

[ahowl11]

well, the only problem is you need the banner to be greek looking in texture not egyptian

[Asgaroth]

And here it is!

Naked Fanatics for the Britons!

[medievaldude]

well, the only problem is you need the banner to be greek looking in texture not egyptian

It is better not to remove the old factions,because then it is not vanilla,besides a lot of mods have done it-What I mean is....Gaul-Aedui,Germans-Sweboz,Britons-Belgae...I think that the gameplay here is important and that this idea is already used in other mods.So why don't you do this(it is preatty good)....Change faction names of Gauls to Tribes of Gaul,in that way the name would represent all the tribes of the Gauls.And then just change the unit roaster like this-Aedui skirmishes,Arverni noble swordsmen and so on,that is way better and different...The same is for Germans-change their name to Germanic tribes and then change the unit roaster-Sweboz axemen,Marcroanii spear warband,Gothic heavy cavalry and so on....Did you get the point?

I agree with you above,but don't change the factions,they are too good!...And don't change them for betha either.Ok for the rebbels!

I absolutely agree: Don't mess too much with the factions! Simply change a few names. Germanic Tribes and Tribes of Gaul sounds good. Even better might be Celtic Tribes. Maybe we can have both. Keep Tribes of Gaul for the Gauls and have Celtic Tribes for the former Brits and Belgians, a faction that might spawn from Britain to Celtiberia and even Galatia. I've done it in my New map scenario and it works well. There the Gauls have about ten regions, but no continuity and thus they act pretty much as independent tribes. The only thing to do is give them those specific units you propose.

But the gauls and germans an other barbarians MUST only start off with one starting region... that way the player can have the goal of "Unifying the tribes" they start off with vanilla units but if they conquer the "Arverni" they get to recruit Arverni units.. know what I'm saying? So we will keep it as Gauls and Germans etc but they will start off as one tribe and not an entire nation of people

I disagree. Your idea to start a faction with just one region is not working. You must not only think of what a human player can do, but also what the computer will do. If he has only one region he will never unite anything. Please think of the fact that you play only one faction, while the other 20 are opponents. Nobody wants to fight against Gauls who have only one region. It's no match. To have a good storyline you need to compromise. Every faction needs at least three regions. But don't give them all of their territory. Leave a few regions to the slaves, so everybody, computer and human players, has a first task to unify the regional tribes or cities. To be working, the relation between the nation (Germans, Gauls, Iberian, Britons) and the independent slaves in their region must be at least 2:1. That is, for every slave city in Gaul the Gauls faction must have two. Only this way you can hope to have some kind of nationbuilding process.

[ahowl11]

I must really think then.. I want to have a good challenge for the human player and a good starting point for the Gauls as ai.. i think this is where the "Free People" factor comes into play.. I will take a look at the map and come up with something.
