Belisarius DLC?

[Magister Militum Flavius Aetius]

Saw this by one of the Attila artists on Facebook:



I find it funny how their concept art is more historically accurate than the game itself. The only immediate inaccurate things I see are the horse chamfron, which is 2nd century AD, the leather lamellar, and the stirrups, which don't first appear until 558.

Still, I'm thinking this is going to be their next DLC.

This concept art is in the loading screens. I wouldn't be surprised, as Hannibal had his own concept art before HatG was released and they did more.

Magister Militum Flavius Aetius can you link his facebook page please ?

[Riekopo]

I wish people would refrain from talking about DLC when the game just released. If anything, we should be hoping for new features in future updates not just content DLC.

[prithupaul]

I am 95% sure we will see this or a Rome : Resurrection DLC.

I am still also hoping for a Danelaw, Historia Brittonum (with Arthur) and may be even a Rise of France DLC.

How do we know that the pic is about Bellie? Anyway, imo it's not very probable that there'll be a DLC concerning him and the rest of Justinianus campaigns. They are simply not known enough to worth the effort. Not that I wouldn't enjoy them, personally, but don't think CA is going to invest in such an "obscure" campaign. In fact, I don't think there's gonna be any other Campaign DLC apart from Arthur.

Belisarius and Justinian are not known enough?!!! Is that meant to be a joke?

[Linke]

Hope we get Arthur instead. I world prefer Justinians Empire, one of my favorite eras as a mod rather.

Also could you give the artists name?

My friend Magister i doupt that the next DLC will have Belisarius as main theme.
I strongly believe that the the Saxon and Angles invasions in Britania will go next.
The work for the new map will be minimal and the Rome II celtish textures/models can provide that era celts too!
Also that DLC will attract anglosaxon origin players.
More money with less efforts.
In the future a DLC "Belisarius on Italy" could be released to re-new the players interest for Eastern Romans that are presented in this game so inaccurate!!!

But isn't that good, I mean CA will most likely not take the time to represent the Gothic Kingdoms or the other factions very right anyways. If they do Britannian invasion then they wont have to care as much nor fail to represent the time of Justinian

I could get into this! I just hope they put some historical thought into design, unlike ALL the campaign dlc for TWR2.

The schools in the US teach nothing about Attila and Aetius, the focus of the main game, but they at least gloss over Justinian and by extension Belisarius. Belisarius is far more well known than Aetius.

This is a depiction of the siege of Rome in 537. I'll link to his facebook page.

Yeah, I know. My remark was meant to showcase my dismay at the presumptuous comment above mine.

[MathiasOfAthens]

A britannia campaign would be nice. One could mod in a Roman invasion mod and with Ted 2 you could make new cities like gallic hillforts.

[-iceblade^]

This'd be interesting...

[The Wandering Storyteller]

Can anyone link me to more concept art?

[Sommo James]

With need a dark age DLC, something set after Attila, with carolingian kingdom and muslims and the rise of chavalry as battlefield main weapon. Might be our only chance to see this period, considering CA is going towards fantasy next

the leather lamellar

No, armor is simply armor. Armor is an aid, it is not something alone that makes the soldier. Rawhide laminar and scale was used in when the metal alternative was short supply. The metal alternative might have been longer lasting, but the leather alternative was almost equally as strong, lighter, cheaper, more available and took far less skill and time to manufacture it. And with the bonus that is was a insulator when metal certainly wasn't. I dance on the grave of metal armor!

[Dangerman]

I think there won't be a Belisarius DLC on a small scale but probably a grand campaign re-vamp ala Imperator Augustus for Rome 2 (hopefully an extra province in Gaul, Greece and Egypt at least and hopefully extend the map a bit north and east).

[Belisarius]

I obviously approve of a DLC in my Honour.
