    Hey Luciano,

    I“m following the work on several mods for RTW and I must say that Paeinsula Italica looks very promising. It“s one of my favourite projects and I hope you“re gonna bring this to a succesful end. I like your greek merceneries very much (as all I have seen yet). Not only because you obviously design fantastic models but also because you put so much effort in their historical accuracy. I“m very curious how your mod is gonna be overall.

    Keep up the excellent work!

    I have to say that I am anticipating this mod more than I am any other. I'm really interested in early Roman history, and it looks like you guys are doing a great job representing Italy as it really was politically. The units look great, and Rome looks freakin amazing. Keep up the good work guys! No doubt the support of the community is behind you. Now, if we could just get a beta...

    Cheers guys.

    Let me say that I can't give a precise date for the release of the mod.
    The largest amount of the work was done, and we are putting together the stuff to produce a first beta-version of the game.

    Rome wasn“t build in a day, guys!

    Give this mod the time it needs to fulfil what it is promising.

    I don't know how accurately they are depicted, but these Spartans are well made and look very good!

    But Idomeneas, your avatar is a picture of a Spartan, isn't it? I've seen no skins for Spartans like that and I've been searching for them to look like that (I remember a book about the ancient Greeks where the Spartans (Hoplitai Spartiatai) were depicted almost exactly in this way: the same detailed and angled crest, the same type of helmet, long hair, white shoulder piece corselet with black and red details (ornamentation) on it worn over a red tunic, and a large, red mantle a little to the side to free their right speararm). Are there Spartans like that to be downloaded somewhere, and if it is believed that they used to look like that, to what era do they belong?

    PS. Scrolling down to the mercenaries etc I must agree with all critics: this mod looks very promising!

    Just a new regional unit reproducing a light spearman of the "Siculi" (Sicels), available in the center and in the eastern portion of Sicily.

    The reference material for the Sicel warriors is very fragmentary. The archeological evidence suggests a mix of native and Greek items and features. The Chalcidian helmet comes from a Sikel tomb found at Adrano. Greaves and a leather belt with a bronze clasp covered with deocrated bronze plates were common among Sicel warriors. Some bronze statuettes depict belted spearmen with a short torso protection which ends just over the abdomen. The available sources report that the Sicels wore long wool tunics in ochre color, and used leather armour. The decorative motivs in use among the Sicels reflect the influence of the Greek art.

    Sicels?
    Ma da dove escono fuori questi?
    A parte le colonie Cartaginesi e quelle Greche,gli abitanti dell'interno (Sicani) non erano certo nč organizzati militarmente molto bene,nč sicuramente usavano la panoplia tipica dei greci,erano montanari/pastori,abbastanza grezzi e imbarbariti,che avevano come unica risorsa,il fatto di vivere in villaggi montani fortificati e poco accessibili,ed in territori poco appetibili per entrambi i Greci ed i Cartaginesi,se hai documentazione diversa al riguardo,mi piacerebbe conoscerla dato che mi occupo di archeologia...
    Un'altra cosa,graficamente i tuoi modelli sono ottimi,purtroppo le decorazioni degli scudi (ammesso perņ che tu ricerchi la correttezza storica)sono molto improbabili,a volte anche l'aspetto generale non č corretto,complimenti comunque.
    E fra chi lo ascoltņ,alcuni erano buoni
    molti erano malvagi,
    e molti non erano niente,
    come tutti gli uomini...in qualsiasi luogo....

    How many times must it be said that these are English language forums? There's a separate place for foreign languages.

    Hi Luciano, I like the latest units. You mentioned an alternative campaign might be appearing in the future. I was just wondering.. would that be including the emergance of rome? with the other italian factions and maybe a few new greek factions like Epirus?
