The Birth of Rome TW

The Birth of Rome
Romulus and Remus are adults now. They have decided to found a new city near the Tiberis, but they are fighting to decide which one shall be the founder of it. Alba Longa, their old city, ruled by Numitor, watches the fight of the two brothers. The tribe of the Palatium (Palatine) is fighting for Romulus and the tribe of the Aventinus is fighting for Remus. The Latini of the other hills and the nearest regions have to decide for which of the brothers will they fight for. The Tusci, in the north, are ready to use this civil war to gain control of the region and the Volsci and Equi, in the south, are preparing raiders to sack the Latin settlements.
Who will win the civil war: Romulus, Remus, or maybe the other Latini? Or might the Tusci or the Volsci et Equi subjugate the Latini and kill the two fighting brothers?

[Skull]

[Stilicone]

Skull, I've seen you can make very good faction symbols... So, could you make the faction symbols for my mod?
Ideas:
1)Romulus
Julii symbol with an "R" in the middle.

[Stilicone]

Romulus
Romulus, son of Mamers (Mars), grandson of Numitor and brother of his worse enemy, Remus. He was abandoned on the Tiberis and was saved by a wolf with his brother. They were adopted by a farmer and soon became young adults. They decided to leave their adoptive parents' home and decided to found a new city but they both wanted to found a city. So they started a conflict: Romulus controlled the Palatium and Remus the Aventinus.


Romulus, after the start of this war, called his allies on the Palatium and created an army:
Comites Romulii
Comites Romulii means Comrades of Romulus.
This is the bodyguard of Romulus and its equipment is the best in all Latium. They have a light hoplite armour and a wolf skin and can be used as skirmishers or as heavy infantry.

They can make a warcry.

[Skull]

First,thank you.

Second:Your symbol is not that bad... REP.

Third:Can you give me a proposal for another symbol??

[Stilicone]

Thank you!
Remus' symbol should be a wolf (not the capitoline one or the Scipii one) and a "R" on it and a blue background.

[Stilicone]

Maybe a wolf like this (but white, like the Scipii one):

[Stilicone]

For the etruscans I think we should use the chimaera with a grey background:

[Stilicone]

Remus

Remus, son of Mamers (Mars), grandson of Numitor and brother of his worse enemy, Romulus. He was abandoned on the Tiberis and was saved by a wolf with his brother. They were adopted by a farmer and soon became young adults. His brother lived as a thief and bandit and he lived as a shepherd. Soon they have decided to leave their adoptive parents' home and found a new village. The two brothers had to decide which one should found the city so, after a few days, they gathered their allies and started a war.

Remus didn't have external allies (Tusci and Equi) as Romulus, but had good skirmish troops and even chariots from the Aventinus Mons, he also had a lot of troops devoted to certain gods (especially Mamers (Mars) and Menerva (Minerva)):
Comites Remii (Remus' personal guard, elite spearmen, throw spear before melee)
Comites Ducis (general's bodyguard)
Equites Aventini (skirmish cavalry)
Equites Tiberis (heavy cavalry, sword)
Currus Mamertis (heavy chariots, throw javelins)
Currus Aventini (light chariots, throw javelins)
Hoplites (elite spearmen, very expensive)
Praesidies Aventini (elite heavy skirmishers, javelins, sword, large shield)
Hastati (basic spearmen, throw spear before melee)
Pedites Aventini (basic spearmen, use sling before melee)
Pedites Securiferi (two handed axemen)
Vigiles Ianus (heavy spearmen, guards of the gateways of the city, Ianus was the god of the doors (in latin Ianua))
Vigiles (light spearmen, watchmen)
Pastores (use club)
Milites Aventini (light swordsmen, throw spear before melee)
Funditores Mamertis (heavy slingers)
Funditores Aventini (slingers)
Sagittarii Aventini (archers)
Sagittarii Menervae (elite archers)
Rorarii (javelinmen)
