Ex-Roman Soldiers Unit

[Gritus]

Just getting back into RTW/BI.

Iam on dialup so the big historical mods are too much to download so iam taking small mods and changing files in order to create my own, more than stock, historical simmulation.

Learning alot on the game and the history of the time

Ive realized that its better to have as many factions as possible sharing the models in "descr_model_battle.txt" , cause of the 255 limit, and then use different skins and attributes in "export_descr_unit.txt" to be able to have the most diverse units as possible.


Working right now on creating a recruitable Ex-Roman Soldiers Unit for some of the non roman factions in BI

I have no 3d software so iam just reskinning with photoshop. Maybe use KLA's Celtic swordsman model and then do different skins.

At the moment I have only one book on Rome and it covers only the leaders.

Is this a historical possibilty for some of the factions?
If you have some good websites that cover BI share them.

Great idea! the unit should be named "Roman Renegades" perhaps, and be recruitable in roman territory only by a few barbarian factions.

The Dacians were the people who used more of this Roman Renegades.

Why not? Sounds like a good idea
