Cursus Honorum (a WB mod)

[Zemdu]

This mod is for WARBAND (version 1.134)!!!
Cursus Honorum includes 6 new factions: Rome, Greece, Etruria, Persia, Gaul and Scythia.
There are Roman, Greek and Gallic models available and there is also a camel!
New troops for Greece, Rome, Gaul and Etruria, and some for Persia but Persia and Scythia still in progress.
The origional thread is here: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=151376.msg3640778#msg3640778 if anyone is interested (there are some screenshots there, I will put some more here later on).

I hope I haven't missed anyone.

Any feedback and/or suggestions are welcome, as this is still a work in progress.

Notes/Bugs: This is SINGLEPLAYER, however a multiplayer element may be included in the future
Salt mine/ Dhorak Keep are here but serve no purpose, please ignore for now
Lords seem to not be wearing their armour when in castles

The map extends west to Sardinia and east to Illyria as well. (this is just an temporary map, we will update it to a RTW/MTW2 map)

(Not all these pics are fully up to date, work has progressed since these were taken but I put them here so that everyone has an idea of what is in this mod)

Estimated release for version 0.6 is early September

The main goal of this mod is to recreate the early Roman period when Rome was still young and had enemies on all sides. Realism is important to an extent, gameplay will come first.

[Adorno1]

care to join in?

Much too busy

[Zemdu]

ok, do you know of any good coder or texturer who would want to work with us at RoR.

ATTENTION everyone, I'm on vacation next week so while I'm gone Yotam14 will take over

[Adorno1]

No, not really. And you're not getting Idibil (from Brytenwalda)

Have you seen this? Maybe if all of you guys worked together you could release one big well-done mod much faster! I'm looking for an antiquity mod myself but haven't found much, sadly. Why do people want to fight WW2 battles in Mount and Blade when you can lead Roman legions to glory or decimate those same legions with some Gallic buddies?!

[Zemdu]

or become the new alexander

and we are officially merged with them

[Rinan]

Ah! Well, that's good news! I still can't believe there is actually no finished antiquity mod to this day for Mount and Blade! Unbelievable! Someone has to get the job done!

[Zemdu]

we will god bid

[Tsubodai]

Hopefully we will solve this problem! There will be an antiquity mod!

[Zemdu]

yes, if we fix our dev forum/social group problem

[Tsubodai]

yeah, wonder how many posts i need

[Zemdu]

we still need a good texturer and some more modellers if we're gonna be able to have an release this year

[Tsubodai]

Yeah. Gothic Knight makes some great Italian models and i have dexm making some scenes atm
any1 else from your old Imperium Graecorum team interested?

[Zemdu]

I will ask them

[Imperator of Rome]

Yeah. Gothic Knight makes some great Italian models and i have dexm making some scenes atm

Yep, I'm Gothic Knight and I do make Roman and Italian models for an OSP, so, he has my limited support from that, but I want him to make his own models and learn how to texture personally so he can get better. Although, he doesn't have much to work as far as the Roman equipment department goes. I have made two of their main helmets(Montefortino and Etruscan Corinthian) so he should have a good start.
