Why does this mod reverse the reskinning of roman soldiers?

[P Funk]

I noticed when I loaded after installing that all the icons for the legionnaires are the regular red. Why isn't it like the RTR ones that are different colours?

I just want to make sure I haven't installed it wrong or something cause I don't want to have to go through a lot of turns to figure it out. I know that the mod information page talks about in previous versions there being an optional Promethean skin pack but I didn't see any options when installing the latest version and patching it up.

Really I want to play this version but I like the regular RTR legion skins. I still want the 4tpr and leadership mod and the italian legion units.

I happen to think that we've added a lot of nice features to the game, but I'm biased.

I think that MCM's original 4TPY mod (which ExRM is based on) does everything you want. I'm not sure which models he's using for the legionnaires.

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I adore this mod. I've used a previous version many months ago, probably last year.

The thing is that when I load up a new Roman campaign and I think the soldiers I see are like the vanilla ones, all dressed in red, none of those diverse pastel ones you see in RTR Gold or Platinum. I recall reading that there is some Promethean skin mod used as optional in a long past version but I don't know how that applies to this one given there aren't any options.

So I just want to know if the legionaries I'm seeing in my game are correct or the result of some bad install I did.

It kind of bugs me to see them after all that insistence pounded into you by the RTR team that it was fake to see roman armies all in red.

Just want to know if these soldiers I'm seeing all in red are a deliberate result of the mod. I installed Platinum along side this in a separate game folder and the skins are different like I expected them.

Point is that the skins for roman soldiers look nothing like they are even represented in the Ultimate Guide which is made to be used along side Extended Realism.

I made some screens just to cross check with you guys to see if I'm seeing the right thing or not.

That looks right to me.

The reason it's different is that pretty much everyone wanted the Promethean skins, so that's what we used.

That said, I think I left all of the original textures and models commented out in the DMB. If I didn't, you can just get them from RTR and put them back in.

Ah thanks. Was just a little confused because the icons used in the strat map look just like the vanilla ones so I wondered if I'd done something wrong.

Honestly though I could have easily just gone with Platinum and avoided making this thread but I had to have the leadership mod and all the other stuff. You guys make a fantastic mod.

Just curious because I've searched out and read so much in the last week trying to get back up to speed on RTR and its sundry mods and I can't keep track of all the details I've absorbed. Do the promethean skins make it so that my Italian equivalent to the roman citizen legion look exactly the same? Cause I dig them looking different. Any help setting up textures when I figure out what I want specifically would be grand.

Sorry to bother cause I know lots of people never read the FAQs and always ask the same questions.

So what I would likely want is to have the Italian Roman Legionaries to look like they would without Promethean skins on them (think I read that Promethean skin pack overwrites Italian Legion skins to make them identical to all Roman Legion) and I would like to try thre Promethean skins on the Roman legion. However I also might want to give changing the little picture that shows them in the status bar on the strategy map. Just a picky little thing. When I mod a game to my taste it gets kind of anal.
