Watchtower Romana/Byzantine Project 1.0 (MedII/RTW)

[DAVIDE]

Hi everybody. I m davide.cool and i am making a brandnew mini-mod project, this time related to "roman watchtower" viewable on strat-map.... why am i doing this particular thing? simply because i always thought CA lacked in some "realism", especially in smaller things as a simple watchtower. Everytime i entered vanilla game with Roma, a sense of discouragement about "historically incorrectness" punched me in the face.. and it hurts

As u already know or remember, vanilla Roman tower's shaped as a very primitive little tower.. perfect for little sighting in the middle of nowhere / quiet places inside SPQR territory, BUT useless to sight in dangerous areas close to the limes or in interior zones, where "rebellion seed" is growing up faster


To show you the Roman engeneering on sighting, i make u see a a modern reconstruction of a tower at limes Germanicus, based on historical Roman accounts:








And this is the WATCHTOWER ROMANA 1.0




This could be classified as an early tower, in fact has just the palisade around as protection and not a stone blocks bunker protection/reinforcement. I reinforced the "trunk/body" of tower with vertical and horizontal axis, to protect the original structure against natural disasters as earthquakes etc and to distribute uniformely the weights, as it was in reality.



Here below, a closer detail of Roman style balcony + reinforcement axis







How it look like in MEDII





how it look like in RTW vanilla

That is a great model and corect thinking!!
Can you make a stone version of it???
It would be wonderfull for "Byzantines" in varius mods!
TGC could use such a version!!!+rep...

in a future why not

i didnt charge the tower in details, because in game tower will be small (big as vanilla one circa)... so many particulars will be not visible anyway

You could also change the "camp" model ussing this "material of yours...
Wooden walls with 4 towers on the corners...
Mods with romans would love such a new fort !!!!

You just want it to replace the existing watchtower? No text editing needed I think. Just save it in data/models_strat... under the correct name.

[DAVIDE]

ok i will replace the vanilla one as test

[DAVIDE]

do u like it?
