Principate-style General

[black_arrow28]

First of all, thank you very much for this great Mod. Its a great experience to play in this decisive period of Roman history.

Still I have one question and since I'm no expert on modding I hope its not too far-fetched

I really liked the way that the generals unit was displayed on the battlefield im the "original" Roman fashion with the traditional helmet with feathers and the lorica segmentata.

So I was wondering if its is possible for me to somehow replace the texture of the Emperor and the Roman generals in the IJ-game with the unmodded original texture??

Thanks a lot in advance!

This style of helmet and armour had not been used by the Romans for about 150 years by the time frame of this mod. So, it would not be either historically accurate or in keeping with the mod I think to do this.

Blasphemy!
As previously stated it would not be historically accurate but it's possible to do it, I guess. Perhaps julianus or someone else versed on the modding part can help you, because I know I can't .

Well thank you two for the information, still whether it was historically accurate to put in such a texture or not was not really part of my question was it?
Thats why I put the "PRINCIPATE" bit in the topic title because I already felt like admitting that it wouldnt be so.

Also how long the lorica segmentata & co was used and who used it is one of the oldest discussions in Roman history

I would still greatly appreciate if someone could tell me how to bring in another texture and overwrite the old one, thank you!

Touché . Hopefully someone skilled enough will help you. Good luck .

what i know is that lorica segmentata was introduced around 9 BC and fully adopted in the final years of Tiberio's principate, then it started to be replaced around 200-220 AD and disappeared totally between 250 and 290 AD....someone knows something more??
About the texture's question i'm sorry i don't know almost nothing about that.
