IB2 VANDALS CAMPAIGN SCREENSHOTS

[atheniandp]

The visuals in this mod are absolutely brilliant. Something about those colours and overall grittiness that makes it look very lifelike.

I reserve this post for some screenshots I will take in the future.

When the IB2 team was first started, our leader Ramon Gonzales Y Garcia wanted to portray the armies involved in IB2 as they would look while on a long campaign in the field. Riothamus, myself and the other team members have continued to follow this design. Glad you like the mod.

miidnite is too modest for he has greatly enhanced our mods units and deserves much of the credit

Are there any pics of the Roman units?

[BroskiDerpman]

Sorry for the late response/necro-ing

Many pictures in this thread show Roman units as that's one of the main points of this mod so.... I'm a bit confused.

The IB and IB2 mods all concentrate on the setting sun of the Roman Empire so the Romans will always be the focal point. What we did here is simply named the mod after the Vandals for as of 438AD they had become the WRE chief and foremost adversary above all other barbarian factions in the game. Also the map centers more or less on that confrontation.

If you want post some Vandals pics..

I forgot all about my posts here.

I was responding to Airborneguy who thought that there was a lack of Roman screenshots. EDITlus by the time I made that post I already played a lot of IB 1 and IB 2.

@Diocle, Highly recommend new version of GEM, I personally deleted ENB and used the sweetfx part of GEM with my own tweaks.

Welcome to the forum! What is this GEM you speak about? Is this what you are using, Diocle? Your pictures seem so "real"!

[Diocle]

Rio I'm here to tell you this: THANKS FOR THE MOVIE!

With my new machine, I was conquering the walls of a small town in Spain and I took some screenshoot because I liked what I was watching and then ... watching the screens .... I remained astonished!

Rio your mod is like a movie, it's like watching the movie we will never watch about the Late Antiquity, Rio you're a Master! + Mega Rep!

Thank you Diocle, and am honored, but must say this was created on the shoulders of someone other than I along wih a very special group of IB2 developers I'm forever in debt to

[Sertorio]

Those are amazing pictures Diocle.

[Reno Melitensis]

Hey. Diocle, welcome on the IB II forums. We very much appreciate that people like you appreciate the mod. Come sono le previsioni per il Genoa questa stagione.

Cheers

[Diocle]

Thanks Reno! Now I have a Divine Machine! More screens will follow ... I'm butchering barbarians like a meat-grinder! Mwahahahaahahah!

Il Genoa ...Non so che dire, il presidente vende e compra di continuo, sulla carta la squadra è buona, vedermo!

Anyawy:Only Genoa, forever Genoa!

[Diocle]

Again some screens from the great 'movie' Africa Vandalorum:

Here the previous unit marching in the dust of the streets of the Spanish town, camera from behind .....



meanwhile a unit of Auxilia Palatina is defending their rear .....



Meanwhile on the French side of the Alps, the Magister Militum Flavius Aetius was winning a decisive battle against the Burgundians (in my case the Huns didn't do the job for him!), the barbarians were holding a very good position, probably too good, because in the end, the ground prevented their movements, so this is the gigantic battle:



and its logic outcome, ..... the AFTERMATH:

ROMA VICTRIX again!

[Diocle]

Yes. I discovered GEM lately because only now my new machine can handle the last TW games, from what I've understood the Mod adds lights and a movie feeling to the game (any game!), anyway there are various settings to choose and try, depending on your personal tastes, it works mainly on the quality of the light but not only ... but .... sorry Midnite I don't understand anything about modding, read yourself, it's better, here the link, for me they have done a good job:

Anyway it's the quality of your work that makes the Mod great!

[BroskiDerpman]

GEM is simply a customized configuration of Sweetfx and Enb series by LucifierHawk (Forgot his name) I myself use Sweetfx and tweak with my own settings. I now have vignette in game, tomorrow I'm going to try to make the filters a little grainy to make it look cinematic. The problem I have with GEM is how it looks too gloomy and is like BF3 color filter extreme. I simply can't concentrate or see clearly, hence why I tweak myself.

Can't edit, unresponsive button...

Thanks midnite, I mainly browse other subforums like IB1 but I sometimes check out what's going on here.

Now the edit button works... Please merge this with my post at the bottom of page 8.

Dang we're out of money already. Time to attack somebody...


Oh how convenient a Gothic army sitting near one of my settlements. Attack it! For Rome!


Rome shall prevail!


Forward men!



These picture are all non edited using my personal graphics mod.

[BroskiDerpman]

I stop Fraps during the climatic part as IB2:Vandalorum lags a ton when the battle plays out. (Well compared to other mods, quite weird as it used RTW models)

But I started up Fraps again and continue...

Roman heavy infantry out flank the massive Gothic forces and spread panic throughout the shield wall. The Goth flee being killed in massive droves by missiles from above and the cold steel of the spatha.


A few Brave Goths regroup, trying to make one last desperate push attempting to surprise the Romans. The Romans held their ground quickly tearing through the remaining forces in the way.


Today is a glorious day, Rome has triumphed! Our victory is worthy of Julian the Apostatae!

Cool screenies. I like how some things rtw were ported into this med 2 mod, for instance the image in the financial overview scroll. By the way, I take it the East Roman Empire doesn't make an appearance in this mod correct?
