'De Bello Gallico'

[Maяcel]

A Roman Era Mod of Caesars' Gallic Wars

Main Features

• Brand new campaign, centered on Gaul
• Brand new and unique units, including different legions, unique generals, and loads of Celts, Belgians, and Germanians.
• Dozens of new factions, including Rome, and dozens of Celtic, factions never seen before in any mod.
• All new historical battles fought during 'de Bello Gallico' and afterwards during the Roman civil war.
• New battle map environments*

*All that can be changed will be changed

The Campaign

The campaign is made up of Celtica, Belgica, Narbonensis, Aquitania, and parts of Germania, Gallia Cisalpina, and Britannia. The campaign starts at 58 BC till 51/52 BC, with turns lasting ~2 weeks, thus 312/156 turns total. The above image of the campaign map is no longer accurate, the current map extends further south, including Rome, as well as further north and east, to include more of Belgica/Germania.

The Units

The mod will include all new units, made from the ground up. Included will be unique roman legions, in a similar fashion as Roma Surrectum. Unique generals, including: Julius Caesar, Titus Labienus, Mark Antony, Ambiorix, and Vercingetorix.

Looking awesome man

[Sulfurion Blackfyre]

Yeah looking forward for this. Do you already have any skilled modellers? Because if you have that right at the beginning, life is much easier.

[Maяcel]

yes, I can do modeling/skinning. Ill be making a huge 'Library' of models, from which we can easily assemble the units. This also enables us to have high quality stuff without spending ages on one unit.

here's a work in progress as example:



they'll be slightly less high quality in game, but thats hardly noticable

thanks for the support guys

@Hesus, PM sent

@Black, good luck with that then

@IVIarkI2I, we've already got a basic map, but we're still deciding on the scale. it currently is 440x360 IIRC, and we might scale it up a bit.

@Hereje, thanks a lot, from what time is that map?

@Hereje, thanks a lot, from what time is that map?

before gallic wars.

[Killerbee]

Good thinking Marcel !

Keep the amount of factions as low as possible. It's too hard anyway to create greatly varying rosters when you're working on such a small campaign

[Hrobatos]

it can be an interesting mod if you get it done, how manny factions didi you planned to make?

[Maяcel]

Thats something we still need to decide, and also why we really want to have some historians on board, to help us decide who was important enough to be included. We'll only have one playable faction at first, so that cuts down on the work that needs to be done.
