Camillan Units

[Octavius-Augustus]

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure that's not the right place to ask, but can you redirect me to some skins of Camillan Romans? I'm inclined to add them to my RS game, but I have no knowledge of skinning whatsoever.. Help?

You want to replace the current "Republican" units with Camillan era units? I dont really know where any early Roman units are outside of EB, as far as i know the (for the most part) Polybian Hastati etc in RS are the generic public domain units that are in many other mods. BUT fear not, in RS2, we are remodeling Roman Punic War soldiers, where the Hastati and Principes start to phase out and the cohort emerges.
So short of getting the units from EB yourself, i dont think there are any proper and accurate Camillan Romans. Hell, the "Polybian" units in RS 1.X are wrong.

Thanks, I should have posted this in the Skinning section of TWC. I do not wish to replace the Republican units, only to add the Camillan ones available for recruitment in an early stage of the barracks. There is one barracks level that does nothing in RS, I believe the 'Legion Barracks' and with proper adjustments the Camillan units may just fit in. I simply want to take the reform feature one step ahead, simillar to EB, but without the historical accuracy 'frenzy' and the heavy scripting. Guess it's impossible at this point. Also, pseudocaesar, I don't care if the units are proper or accurate. They should be a depiction of the Camillan era in any form.

Well, as the Polybian era began more or less within a couple of decades of the RS start date, it seemed pointless to add them.

Oh, yes, I'm not implying that the team should've added these units to the mod, it's just a personal preference of mine. It seems I'll do without them. RS is great the way it is anyway.

Also, this is not the topic of the thread, but is there a way to add spear Auxillia to my Roman roster? I suppose it will not be a pain but do I still need skins/models? What if I just clone the current Auxillia and make them use spears.. Will that work?

That would work, but may actually require more work, again as you pointed out this is a question for the Rome Workshop Unit Editing/Skinning forum.

So on that note, I will close this thread.
