The Celtic Answer - myCeltmodv2 -
This mod for rtw1.3 will include:
-if i write "celtic", it means for gaul and britons-
Replacements:
celtic swordmans, replaced by custom model with longshield
celtic elite swordmans, replaced by custom model with longshield
briton woad warrior, replaced by custom model with longshield
gaul peltst, replaced by custom model with longshield
Additional units:
Celtic Chiefguard, the hastati mod with great bodyshields updated with new helmet.
Helmet with neck and cheek protection is one single model now!
Celtic Clanwarrior, the hastati mod with longshield but new version.
Special units:
the gaul will get my new naked warrior!
The britons will get my celtic sword maiden!
Brand new units:
"Celtic Spears" light armored warrior with heavy thrusting spear.
"Celtic heavy Spears" same type of warrior with celtic mail armor.
Celtic Spears:
The basic model was barb_infantry_high.cas (the default slave infantry with shield)
From my point of view it has some useful features;
Longsleeved shirt with undivided surface and long neckhair, well modelled long throuser with excellent shape at the leg ends and the texture has enough unused space to work on.
The "celtic spears" got a new helmet, broadheaded trusting spear and the fully modelled longshield.
The "celtic heavy spears" got the same as above and the shoulder pads of my hastati celts. The option to make the shoulders invisible and change bodyarmor into shirt texture is available.
The "celtic swords" are outfitted like the heavy spears but equipped with a sword.
The option to make the shoulders invisible and change bodyarmor into shirt texture is available.
I will use the "celtic swords" as replacement of the default elite swordman(warguard)
I had in mind to get more replacements of vanilla units then adding new units to complete the line-up of celtic troop types without disturbing the game with more custom units.And to use the new units as new basic celts like all roman factions use they legionaries.
Both celtic factions will have the same number of choosable units!
I think they should be recruitable after the marian reform for best effect.
Tactical Use:
Celtic Spears should create the center front line of the army in battle formation.
They will have good morale, they thrusting spears do pretty much pain but they are lightly armored. A hard wall for every roman sandal-warband ;O), which holds not for long but long enough. (light_spear, spear_bonus_4, 60 men 3 rows, mental 10)
Celtic Swords will create the second row, eager to grant much more pain!
Celtic Clanwarrior will stay in the third row throwing they javelins over the first two lines into the enemy ranks to get they hands free for nourishing celtic fields with fresh roman litter.
If your celtic army has also Heavy Spears, place them on the flanks with some naked warriors behind, "Hey roman cavallry, let`s have a party!" ;O)
Let one unit of Chiefguards protect your general, usually not important but you never know......
......how much lusted troops of godzillianic, feressian mercenaries the roman senate has send this time. *giggle*
"Abu!"
Don`t take my "juicy" descriptions too serious, it`s a game ;O)
for sure you will get the latest skins for all celtic units with the package too :O)
