Title is the question
Also, will the mod take place before or after Odacer became King of Italy? And if he is, what will his faction be called? And what kinda units? Cross between old Roman and Germanic?
Looking forward to this!

The mod take place at the begining of Odovacer reign, in 476 AD, the last Roman Emperpr, Romulus Augustulus as been deposed by the German Magister Militum, and crowned himself Rex Italae. The faction name will be Regnum Italae, or Regnum Italicum. The units will be of course a mixture of Gothic-Barbarian and Romano-Gothic infantry, with some roman equiped heavy Barbarian Infantry. There will be no Palatina, Auxilla and comitatensis in the west, only Nepos faction and the ERE will have accsess to them.
Hope that this answers your quostion.
Cheers.
And what will map consist of? Italy and surrounding areas or more, like France, Germany, Balkans and North Africa?
The map is from very much like Vandalorum but streches east as far as Asia Minor due to the ERE.

Cheers.
So any idea what the other factions will be, or is it just kinda fluid at the moment?
Imp. Rom. Orientalis, Ostroghots, Gepids, Longobards, Iulius Nepos faction in Dalmatia, the Italian Kingdom of Odovacer, Visighots, Suebi, Alemanni, Merovignian Franks, Burgundiones, Regnum Vandalorum, Mauri and The Kingdom of Soissons. Maybe an other faction or two will be added before the Mod is complete.
Cheers.
Unit wise for Odoacer's kingdom it was known that during his fight with the Ostrogoths he was supported by Heruli and Scirians and while I'm no expert on the subject the internet says that the Herulis became something of an elite light infantry force and the Scirians were heavy infantry mostly. Hope this helps!
Sounds very interesting and awesome! Cant wait to see more!
i guess the team will consider any historic informations, the odoacer rooster will be very interesting of course!
EB II is finally out! ...NOW!!!...
(holy necropost, but there really isn't any topics on the page so, eh I guess?) I'm personally looking forward to playing as Nepo's faction. It will be interesting I think since he was struggling to maintain control of what territory he had and was surrounded by disloyal people. I would imagine this would be one of the hardest factions to play as.
You will shurly have fun.
Nepos will be there and we are right now discussing how this faction will be and what sort of troops it will be able to field. Any input is welcome.
Play the Nepos faction well and maybe resurrect the WRE.

Will Nepos title be that of the western Emperor or the Govenor and Magister Militum per Dalmatia?
Till his death he was the western Emperor, even the eastern roman emperor recognize him as rightfull emperor till his death. Romulus Augustulus was never recognized as emperor by the east.
So it would make sense to give Nepos the title of western Emperor..
Can't wait!!!!!!!!
