Officers and banner carriers will have their own place to TGC's units.
WIP:

Banner carrier and banner model by Koultouras.
Banner texture by Gogo-t!

[Cro-Gamer]

yeah I loved the banner carriers in Ntw
this is awesome

[Armatus]

does the banner have later Islamic art?

[AnthoniusII]

does the banner have later Islamic art?

Yes...We were unable to find banner symbols in good shape enough to become banners. The banner is of 11th century and after.

the captain doesnt fit with the rest

[Hrobatos]

Yes captains ,generals,banner carriers,heirs and kings/emirs/emperors will be new for all factions.
This replacement will take a while in the step by step each faction's roster evolution.

Deleted by HEX request.

Are you still planning to have the Acrocorinthos as the only castle? Will this replace Corinthe or will it be a settlement in a settlement like the ones in Rusichi: TW? The latter would be a nice feature to add IMO.

[AnthoniusII]

We intead to have Acrocorinthos as citadel shape permannent fort.
Now that the new tools are available.

[Treize]

Will it be a citadel (three layered castle)? Or something new? And will Corithe itself be in the game? This is why I suggested to make it like this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Although this is a TGC mod question please read TGC's way of reqruitment.
Any way...The lack of melee troops for Romans will be filled only by mercenaries.
Most of them will belong to the "event by reqruited mercenaries".
For example after 901-904 and after the 1st Rus raids Rus raiders (vikings) will be available to Romans.

Are that mercenaries like the normal mercenaries that generals can recruit out in the field or are that mercenaries like the latinikon and the others of the Komnenan unit roster?

As for the event mercenaries, will you only have one change to recruit them or can you always recruit more?

[ByzantineCaesar]

Are you going to represent the Anastasian Walls in this mod. It could be something like Minas Tirith's protection in TATW. You could represent the Theodosian Walls that way too

[Treize]

That wall was not in use anymore an partially demolished.

First thing first:
Acrocorinthos will be (if we will get help soon) a separate castle (and object on the map) from the city of Corinthos.
On the battle map we will try that acrocorinthos fort will look like the real one.
Now the mercenaries.
If you read the reqruitment system you will see AOR mercenaries and event through ones.
AOR mercenaries will be available as all mercs in vanilla game.
Event through mercs will become part of each faction's reqruitment pool.

I have something in mind for the Constantinople's city model.
Espesially the Theodosian walls (under the game's and the tool's limitations).
Anastasian walls could be something decorative inside the city.
But first we must have the creator that will deal with it.

That wall was not in use anymore an partially demolished.

Yes indeed.

[Treize]

Ah so you can recruit 'mercenary' units in cities. This is good.

I must admit that I would love to see somthing like the Rusichi: TW settlement in a settlement. More mods should use this.

EDIT:

The Anastasian Walls are the ones outside of Constantinople, the great wall of Thrace. Not the Constantinian walls that would be used as decoration.

Building a PSF wall around Constantinople would be a bit wierd since the city only has one real wall, the Theodosian wall. Prehaps PSF's could represent Blachernea which was not part of the city yet. Or prehaps galata?

It would be better if this would be solved via custom settlements instead.

[Treize]

Ah yes, but that would still ony leave you with one layer of defence. Cities with mutiple inner keeps with their own gates and such are not even possible I think. And you certainly cannot add multiple victory square's to a single settlement.

[TW-fanboy]

Hi, I just wanted to say that I am hapyy about every modder working on the Roman/byzantine Empire. Unfortunately I don't have the time to help you (final exams are near....) either by modding or beta testing, but be assured, you have a fan. As soon as it is released, I will dl and play your mod.
I really wish you good luck, as many promising mods died.

[AnthoniusII]

The new tool that Makayane and wilddog created allow us to create a very accurate model of Constantinople with three sides with one line of huge walls but surrounded by sea and one side with two lines of huge walls (on diferend hights) with atleast three main gates .
No need for "a city in a ity".
TGC has so huge scale map that we are looking a way to add more settlements. Under makayane advice long ago we will add atleast one more "city" or village on the map as PSF.
Instead of castles villages and cities will apear.
That will make TGC more realistic.
For all these we are in a need of someone to create such models.
But most of the creators of such projects are creating buildings and other staff for other projects.
For now...

@Anthonius
Could you ask your team whether they know of any free 3D modelling software?

Regarding custom cities: if it could be possible, I'd love to have ability to actually destroy certain buildings, like in RTW. That would be especially useful for raiding and destroying enemy villages
