[RS 2.1a] Seleucid Unit Expansion Version 2

[NightEye]

@MDT I'll try once I find some free time.

@Revan the Great So far I only had to replace one unit for the Agema, the Cimbri Elite Skirmishers. The Epibatai is actually a shared unit with the Ptolemies.

@Sir Naked Emperor After checking it myself, yes you have to. Real sorry about that, big fat oversight for me there.

A CTD occured when I was going to battle against Ptolemy at Raphia. I edited the file to insert the Agema in the army, but it CTD'd at the time it was loading.

It said they could not find the texture files.

[NightEye]

I went tried putting them in myself and it loaded just fine.

[kingman1337]

Strange...

Did the game crash when you go into battle in with the Agema before this? The only reason you'd get a texture problem is not putting the submod in problem place, which is the Play_Seleucid folder.

NEW ADD-ON AVAILABLE PLEASE CHECK FIRST POST

I found some time to edit and test Tone's Alternative Stack and Battle length mods to be compatible with my mod.

I put it in the Seleucid folder when first installing. I'll test it again when I re-install it.

ADDITIONAL NEW ADD-ON AVAILABLE PLEASE CHECK FIRST POST

I've made EDU sets that merge Tone's mods and my Seleucid bodyguard preference patches.

*Looks at growing downloads section* Lord help me when Dvk releases that patch...

[Grouchio]

...And you probably need to begin a new campaign before using the agema, etc.

Thanks for mod.

What I've noticed in RS2 also is that Seleucia and Babylon are misplaced on the world map. Perhaps we could rationalize this as representing the recruiting ground, military bases, countryside of Seleucia/Babylon, but otherwise they are not where they are supposed to be.

[NightEye]

@Grouchio *Groan* why do I keep forgetting that part... The appropriate disclaimer has been added.

@ironstatue Unfortunately I don't have much knowledge in regards to map editing, so I can't move any of the settlements.

[Grouchio]

Strange... I don't seem to be getting new generals when I have the Hetarioi bodyguard.

[NightEye]

Which version?

[Grouchio]

what do you mean?

[NightEye]

The basic Hetairoi bodyguard EDU patch or one of the ones merged with one of Tone's submods? And I already checked them all, they all seem to work fine.

[Grouchio]

the basic EDU patch?

[Grouchio]

Also, is this compatible with the 2.1 patch?

[NightEye]

Sorry been a bit busy, when I say basic EDU patch I meant the one that's not merge with any of Tone's EDU mods

As for 2.1 compatibility, not sure as I haven't downloaded it yet.

MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! SOMEONE WAS LISTENING TO MY PLEAS! SELEUCIA! THE GOD'S HAVE ANSWERED YOUR CALL!!!

thank u sir


This work looks stunning sir, I shall download either today or tomorrow.
I do have a few questions though, firstly, will there be any more units? It seems you plan on one more, in which case I would love to see the Elephant Archer Models replace the regular Archer models, they look more badass simply.

Secondly, I can make the heitaroi or the agema my general's bodygaurd? Agema ftw forsure!

The new shields and the marines look awesome btw, can't wait to carve up the ptolemies with those badboyz!
Dude, + rep, this is amazing work, and i'm glad that someone out there wanted to see Agema on the battlefield as much as I did!

Btw.... how much ammunition do the agema have? Are they low, or relatively well supplied in arrows?

[NightEye]

I'm kinda busy as of late, though yeah I'm planning to actually add one more unit, though I was thinking of doing one based on Thracian Elites. I originally intended to replace the archer texture but decided not to because they're supposed to be a cheap unit.

Yes, I included options in my mod for you to choose which unit will become the general's guard.

The Agema have 15 arrows per man, I intended them to be a shoot first then charge unit but sometimes they tend to use up their ammo first then charge.
