Carthage Reloaded - Full Pack Release

[Hannibal Smith]

From what I have read, because it has puzzled me too, is that the Carthaginians did not use the Macadon phalanx, but more of the older Greek phalanx. As a result, the Poeni shileds would be the larger round types versus the smaller type that you portray.

That surprises me I though that after Alexander the old greek phalanx wasnt used anymore. Its not as though Carthage wouldnt have been exposed to that fighting style.

To be honest historical acuracy is the most important thing to me, and I the the two handed phalanx animation from EB looks cool with that animation the shield needs to be smaller or the spear sticks though it that also why I needed to move the shield up the arm.

From what I have read, the Carthaginians learned the Greek hoplite phalanx from fighting Syracuse which used the older hoplite phalanx versus the newer Macadon phalanx.

You could always do what the EB mod did and have the vast majority of the Carthaginians use the Greek hoplite phalanx and have just one of your Poeni units fight in the Macodon phalanx style. After all, it is only a game in the long run and it is meant to be fun and creative.

P.S. I do like your units and look forward to your final results.

When are you going to release the first pack?

[Crawe]

Cool units.

[Hannibal Smith]

Just updated another model trying to get them all done before I release the pack. I have updated my original post with new renders. Here is a before and after

oh very better... can't wait for the pack

[Salvor Hardin]

Great work, Mr. Smith. The black colour suits the unit better than the blue, in my opinion.

[Hannibal Smith]

I re-painted the shield mainly because I thought it was too bright. You can see better on the render (post #1) but I've also remodelled the helmet and shield. Its made the cas file a good deal larger than the original though

[Salvor Hardin]

Thanks for the information, Mr. Smith. As Florin could tell you, I am not too good with details. But, anyway, superb unit.

[Andalus]

Ah, very nicely done, Hannibal Smith.

[Hannibal Smith]

I'm nearly finished updating all of the models now. I have been rendering some images for unit cards and such, and decided to have a play and see if I could put together a little scene with a few figures. Let me know what you think

Very nice!!!I see Carthaginian soldiers has conquer the city

[Emperor Domitianus]

I was thinking if you could add an archer unit with helmet similar to the Vanilla one.

[Hannibal Smith]

@ ED once Ive finished working on updating my units I will have a go

Updating my numidians, I was never happy with the hair. So I've been experimenting with layed hair using the alpha channel. Thought I'd post the results I think it looks better.

[Legio]

It looks excellent, and I also like the render you posted above!

[Emperor Domitianus]

Thx Hannibal. I hope you will be able to release your excellent work soon.

[Hannibal Smith]

In game image of the numidian skirmishers

[Salvor Hardin]

They are looking excellent. I also love the scene that you posted above. It would make a superb intro screen for the game.

[Hannibal Smith]

Thankyou salvor.

Just got to update the slingers and the Sacred band and will release the pack. The Sacred Band unit was the very first I made, I think both the models and the skins have improved since then so I think they look a little poor in comparison. Think I can make a good job of them now though

[JOHANNES]

the release is soon ?
