[WIP] The Confederatio Bruttiorum

[Solitudo]

OLD PROJECT //This mod aim is to enhance the Italic faction present in the game.

The idea is to replace the Etruscan League with one of the oscan tribes still indipendent in 272 b.c.; in this case the tribe is the Brutii one.

The replacement is due to historical motivations, because the Etruscan were under Roman control and they were not even coalized in a league, and to gameplay motivations, because the units in the game are clearly Samnites.// OLD PROJECT

All the Italic factions will be slowly improved. The first release will focus on the Samnites, for HATG, and the mod will be called ITALICAE GENTES.

If there is someone interested in the project, feel free to contact me.

Show us (or at least me) more. I'd love to see a playable Italic faction.

After a long absence here I come again!
The mod project is not dead, I just had not enough time to work properly. However I'm back in firing line now .
New models and textures will come shortly!

Here's a small preview of the samnite infantry:

Will you do this for Hannibal at the Gates?

[Solitudo]

Actually yes, I plan to make a first release focused on the samnite faction of HATG; then I will gradually add contents, also for the main campaign.

Wow, excellent job here !
I love the new helmets and the new shields !

[Solitudo]

Thanks Ardionso!

If you are doing Samnites and Lucanians does that mean you are considering all the italic tribes , maybe the social war?

[Solitudo]

I'm considering only the third century, but yes, my intention is to rework all the italic tribes, in particular Oscii, Etruscans, Liguri and Veneti.
My first release will include the Samnites, for HATG, then I'll put all the other tribes for the main campaign, hoping to gather a team in the meantime, to get faster updates.

First look at the heavy infantry. Still plenty of work to do:

This look incredibly beautiful !
I love the accuracy with the new models, however, the new italo-chalkidian could be a little bit better textured in my opinion.
This is the most ambitious work on italic tribes, i'm really impressed !
