    Have a great day!

    The Europa Barbarorum team.

    @ Juggernaut: yeah, xprime's work lately has produced some really nice looking units (3 in this preview), including those two Romans. we're excited to have him on the team.

    @ KLA: its a new unit, which is probably why you haven't heard about it before, for which most of the design work took place over the last few months. Perhaps we can post the unit descriptions for some of the new units at some point--would y'all consider that a worthy tradeoff? A few less skins, but several unit descriptions for the new guys?

    The reskin wasn't done because we didn't like the old one - it was very nice itself. The reskin was done because there were problems with the equipment/depiction in terms of accuracy, and the member who made them is no longer active with us or RTW modding.

    oh- ok. but are you sure you cant remove the plume to the cohors imperatoria? according to ardrian goldsworthy, they removed the plumes on thier helmets by then.
    and thier legs look a little chubby.
    and can you make their sheild a little bigger? they are too small, in my opinion.

    Adrian Goldsworthy is usually pretty good and he is probably right, but the point is a bit contentious.

    As to the shield... are you mad? That thing is huge.

    The AI can't retrain. Hardcoded
    There will probably be no new animations for EB1.

    Shield has correct dimensions and shape in both units. If you don't like those units - this is your private opinion. If you don't like situations when models are realistic (human's shapes) - you shouldn't use my models. For example I don't like bananas...
    Thx for objective opinion.

    well, Id like you to find any evidence that they did not wear plumes in this period. Let's see it.

    good job on the legionaries and all the rest...a question though....aren't the legiornaries a bit high poly now? they sure seem so...that will send our FPS to shreds with just a unit of these on screen i guess.... or do they seem high poly, but in fact are Low poly like the ones we have now?

    They look high poly, but have no more than before.
