nice idea! Although I haven't seen anything, it looks professionally set up
Q: How are you going to represent the civil war Between Marius and Sulla? with the Roman Rebel Faction? If you are, how are you going to do the battles in Asia? or will the player not fight these?
Note: I don't think completely scripting the battles is good, you still want the player to play the game, not the script. (also I think the scripts will bring major problems, if Sulla is, for example, already dead in the campaign.)

[VenetianWarrior]

Thank you.
A: The civil war will trigger in 83 BC with Sulla spawning in Asia Minor with 3 stacks. The other battles will trigger in the same way.

HOLY CRAP THE SOCIAL WAR.


Go on man.I'll follow this.

[VenetianWarrior]

Thank you Nomad93.
I need some help in:
Scripting
Researching
Modeling

I'm good at skinning and I'm learning modeling.

[VenetianWarrior]

Some research (I need someone to make descriptions):
Imperium Romanorum
Ave consul!
More than 30 years ago Scipio Aemilianus, roman consul, destroied Carthage, and in the same day, the great Greek city of Corinth was destroied by Roman troops. That day signed the start of a new era for us: from that day we call the sea "Mare Nostrum", our sea, in fact we are the rulers of the Mediterrean Sea and the other nations are just small upstarts. You, oh great Gaius Marius, have reformed the army and now are fighting against the Numidi, once one of our most reliable allies and now, one of the greatest scums. In the north, on the other side of the Alps, there are the fierce Germans, who are brave and hardy warriors, but even wild and uncivilized, they are true Barbarians, a great menace for our strong republic. In Italy, the Socii are starting to uprise because the Senate and the government are treating them not as allies, "socii", but as slaves.

Let me show you, consul, your great army:
ROMANI et ITALICI
Equites Consulares
Equites Romani
Equites Italici
Legionari
Pedites Italici
Sagittari
AUXILIA
Auxilia Gallica: Pedites, Equites, Rorarii
Auxilia Germanica: Pedites, Equites, Rorarii
Auxilia Tracica: Pedites, Equites, Sagittari
Auxilia Graeca: Pedites, Funditores, Sagittari
Auxilia Hispanica: Pedites, Equites, Funditores
Auxilia Numidica: Equites (skirmisher cavalry), Equites (heavy cavalry), Rorarii
Auxilia Asiatica: Pedites, Equites, Sagittari

Hmmm...looks good,i know little about the romans at this period...but my reccomendation is:use the vannila units at the start[at least for the romans],then,later on,when people get intrested in you'r mod,you can gather a team and get everything you whanted done.

Good luck,i will wach over this mod,and wait,and hope...that it does not die...

Well, I'm working on some gallic units, and I'll keep Vanilla's Romans (except urban cohort, praetorian cohort, praetorian cavalry, legionary cavalry because they are unrealistic).

[Irishguy]

and I'd suggest adding/changing some provinces, especially in Asia Minor

[korsakoff]

scripting im not bad at. i can add campaign descriptions and other such things if you are needing help with any of this sort.

good luck with the project

tracking

[VenetianWarrior]

I can do mapping for now (later I'll need a mapper to create a new map).
New provinces (and historical names for the others):
Trapezus
Corduene
Sophene
Adiabene
Likia
Pelusion
Ctesiphon
Arbela
Carrhae
Akragas

Gallia is divided in 6 regions:
Aedui (faction)
Veneti (rebels)
Aquitani (rebels)
Parisii
Gallia Narbonensis (roman province)
Belgica (faction)

[VenetianWarrior]

Aedui
You are the chief of the great tribe of the Aedui, one of the most powerful tribes of Gaul. We are allied with the Romans and trade with them, but we don't trust them very much: they are a menace to our society, to our culture, to our power. The other gallic tribes are just small scums, except for the Belgae, fierce and hardy warriors that even the Romans fear.

This is your army, great leader:
Equites Ducis
Equites Aedui
Equites Gallici
Equites Antesignani
Ferentarii Gallici
Sagittarii Aedui
Antesignani Gallici
Bellatores Aedui
Hastati Gallici
Militis Aedui
Conducti Germanici
Conducti Belgici

Καππαδοκια
Χαιρε Ηγεμον!
Καππαδοκια gain independence when Alexander conquered these lands. Our greatest king, a Persian aristocrat named Ariarthes I founded a new kingdom that lived in peace until the death of Μεγας Αλεξανδρος. The Βασιλεια Ποντου has always been a menace for us, and now is a real danger becaus of its expantionistic policy. The Αρκη Σελευκεια once was a danger, but now it is slowly dying and we have a chance to conquer it and gain control of Συρια and Φοινικη.
Our kingdom has an Eastern-Hellenic culture, and we have the great Persian cavalry and the great Macedonian phalanx.
Here is you army:
