Late Roman Legionaires

[midnite]

Just in case you need it, midnite, here is the export_descr_unit file from the non-EDU version of EB II v. 2.01 (i.e. as per the official release, not QuintusSertorius's current EDU that mods unit stats, which may or may not be save-game compatible and might not work with campaigns).

b0Gia was right! Chrome is needed instead of Firefox for uploading these files.

I will check out the files. Which units do you want in particular? I will try one first and see how it works.

How about you try the one I failed to transfer (as explained on the previous page): "Legionary_Victrix6", one of the lorica segmentata legions. If it works, you should consider also doing the four lorica hamata legions I listed on the previous page, since the EB II time frame does not cover lorica segmentata legions that belong to the latter half of the 1st century AD / 2nd century AD. Tell me how it goes! Once again, you might run into trouble with the skeleton if DBM ones are drastically different than those for EB II models.

And once again, if you're feeling really cheeky and on a roll, feel free to add those mounted Han Chinese crossbowmen too.

I will give this a shot this weekend.

Success . I have the Legionary_Victrix6 working. Pics Tomorrow.

Excellent! I sure would love to know how you succeeded where I failed, though.

Since you're an Invasio Barbarorum II team developer, are there any late Roman legions or units in that series of mods that would be compatible or at least suitable looking for early Rome and the late Republic?

Seriously, how did you do this? It's so awesome! Cheers. I would rep you again for this, but I've done so too recently.

You should start a new thread for a sub-mod download when all is finished. That way everyone can come and pay homage by repping you. I'll inform everyone here about your glorious and grandiose work.

Is there a away to transfer unit cards from DBM? It's a minor point, but if it can be done it saves the effort of finding new UI unit cards for this new unit.

[midnite]

what other units are you looking for?

the unit icons ( as I call them) shown when you create an army in a custom battle scenario are stored in this folder - Medieval II Total War\mods\DBM\data\ui\unit_info\romani (roman units folder) in tga format

I have not tried it but I assume you can just copy them over to the EB2 mod.

If you release this as a sub-mod, would you be able to include that in the overall package? Surely it just takes some copying and pasting for those tga files.

I'm not exactly sure. I've only played the first Invasio Barbarorum mods like SAI (for Rome Total War). I'm waiting on IB Flagellum Dei II to come out. I haven't gotten a look at the units yet, although the mods released for IB II's North Africa and Britain campaigns look pretty cool. It was only a thought. If there's nothing that's compatible for the 3rd to 1st century BC, don't worry about it.

I have not forgotten about this sub mod. Just need some time to work on it!!

Hmm....Perhaps you should hold off on it for a little bit, until the EB team releases a new update for EB II, which is coming very soon judging by the fast-paced development showcased on their Twitter page. It would make more sense to have your sub-mod compatible with the new release, and not just v. 2.01.

Well midnite you can always do your submod and i will take care of it being compatible with future releases of EB II. The next major release is going to be release summer mid or late (maybe early too but many have exams then for example me) . Don't know if it is planned for example to release it again 25 august one year later after the first release. Just my thoughts.

Thank you! I will pick up the pace soon!

In conjunction with the full Polybian roster that the next EB release is going to have, these Marian-era legions are going to be a great addition. I can't wait! My mouth is already watering.

*Crickets chirping.*

I think this means that Midnite is busy developing the other mod Invasio Barbarorum II at the moment.

Don't worry, he'll probably release this mod by the end of the summer, when EB II comes out with its next release.

My current patch for IB2 is done and I am awaiting the next patch from my team members. Let me see if I can resurrect this mod.

[midnite]

I have

Legionary_Victrix6
* Legionary_Alaudae
* Legionary_Ferrata6
* Legionary_Fulminata
* Legionary_Scythica

in the mod and all working in custom battles.

Excellent! Are you going to release this soon or wait for the late September release of the new update for EB II so that it can be compatible for that? Are you still collaborating with team members here on that? I think most people, once the new version of EB II comes out a month from now, will be playing that instead of the old patch.
