Hero Renders

[Osceola]

lol.. I'm trying!


Just wondering though, what did you guys do for or base off your interpretation of the Minoan army? At the moment I'm very interested in what you have on the Minoans, I mean I had always read before they were an extremely peaceful people with no warriors at all..

[The White Knight]

Hmmm... I don't like all of your renders because they're modelled after the actors in the movies. Please! I would 'accidentally' lose when Brat Pitt is commanding my army...

[Nobunuga oda]

Its unlikely they are gonna have perfectly good pictures of 1 man which was about 3000 years ago, they had to use the movie as a reference because there are not many sources on the war and they look good.

i have no idea what i said but i think it has meaning. :sign_what

6 of 15 are modelled after movie actors, and hektor, aias, and odysseus were due to requests that they be modelled after the actors. It seems that most people either like it or don't mind it this way.

As for Brad Pitt, it seemed right to include a vague likeness. It was either going to be for all myrmidonoi or achillies... and since there is only one achillies as opposed to potentially 100's of myrmidons we decided to go with achillies.

Well, if you read about Idomeneos in the Iliad, he gets into a few scrapes. Or if you read about King Minos in say, Ovid's Metamorphoses, he gets all over the Eastern Med conquering people. When talking about the 'real' Minoans, it is extremely difficult to say one way or the other. They are generally renowned by the ancients though as having had naval supremacy of the Aegean. I think that it's much more likely that they did have warriors, but so little solid evidence survives that it's not easy at all to tell. We based our interpretation off 3 things, basically: 1. Their representation in myth 2. Surviving material remains and symbolism 3. General evidence from the Greek Bronze Age

Aias (Athens)

Congratulations...the mod is so good...

Can tell me anyone in which topic i can post a map with all heroes (both sides) and where is from...

I just want to help to be historicall accurate (as Possible)...e.g Aias (Ajax) is from Salamina...
Menestheus was from Athens,Diomedes from Argos etc

[Prof]

you have to add a script that aias attacks some sheep after troy is taken and then kills himself

[Zhuge_Liang]

Thersandros (Thebes)

[Zhuge_Liang]

Agron (Lydia)



Alternate Achillies/generic phthia (Phthia)



Rhesos (Thrace)

[Zhuge_Liang]

Menelaos (Sparta)




only one more to go

[Claudius the God]

That is Aias son of Telemon (Ajax) isn't it, not Aias son of Oileus (Ajax the lesser). He lookes great!, as do all the others! BTW will Paris and Aeneas be in the mod as well?

[Zenith Darksea]

That is indeed Telemonian Aias. I'm afraid that the Lesser Aias won't appear, or at least not in the first release. There are too many heroes as it is! Paris and Aineas however certainly will show up, and you can look forward to taking them and kicking some Greek rumps (or running away, if you're Paris).

[Osceola]

Awesome as usual! However eh... dont you think our Thracian friend's shield needs a little work? It's a bit... vanilla RTW'esque.

Oh and I loved that Minoan dude so much, I made his render my wallpaper! ^^

[Atheist Peace]

Damn...that's some great work you guys have done. I can't wait for this mod.

I knew you could get really accurate faces on skins! Finally some one did that! Those characters are excellent and very realistic looking

Odysseus - version one with no helmet & old shield (Ithaca)
