Mages in Rome: Total War!

[orgo.love]

Hi. First time poster here.

This is a mod I made to see if I could make the most powerful unit possible in RTW. Everything (except 3d modelling) was used to create the screenshots below. Enjoy!

(Battle of one unit of Energy mages and one unit of Fire mages vs 20 units of Urban Cohorts in Large unit settings)





















I had joined totalwar.org a few days ago, but it seemed like their rome modding section was a little "dead." So, I'm posting the pics here too. If anyone's interested, I can upload the mod for this

More screenies! 1 Fire mage assaulting Rome with 10 units of archers auxilia and 10 units of urban cohorts:
(note how the mage smashes open the thick gates of Rome with no other equipment other than his "magic" )
(also note the mage's force field attack that launched entire units of urban cohorts into the air >)

Those are some wicked pictures, orgo. Looks like Harry Potter and his friends are using their magic to take down those mean Romans

Bonus, Tanks in RTW?!?







Another battle, "tanks" vs in-game oliphants, supposedly the most powerful unit in vanilla RTW:








Finally, modified "Tanks" sieging:

How do you get Yubtseb elephants again? I've forgotten how they work. Magnificent screens by the way.

although thats really cool i have a feeling they maybe a bit unbalanced who reckons they could complete a campaign with 1 unit of mages as your army, peasants for garrison. thats it

If you make a Roy Mustang skin with that ability that would be AWESOME!!!

[Valerius Tiberius]

how do you use yubtsebs in custom battle??
nice screen btw, a little sadistic though

[The10thLegion]

Hi.

To get YubtSeb elephants in custom battle, you have to edit the Yubtseb elephant entry in the descr_unit_new.txt file. Look for no_custom, and delete it. Define which faction you want the yubtseb to be available to, and add that.


Give me a Roy Mustang skin and I'll apply it and show you.


Of course this is unbalanced XD That was the point in creating these units!



I am still in the process of making more edits, this time to create suitable siege weaponry as well as flying units. Once I'm done, I might create a full blown mod replacing the numidian faction with a new "mage" faction that starts from Sahara. But until then, I don't want to just release the files for these units only.

ok, it would just be fun to create a "mage Numidian empire"
