realistic units

**joecool250** · August 01, 2006, 07:41 PM

are there any mods that do not change the map, just the units to be more realistic?

I doubt it. As changing all of the units to be more realistic is a very large part of the game, they are often only found in total conversion projects. However if you are really cool (like myself) you will download a bunch of mods and handpick what you want. Its a bit of manual coding to be sure, but well worth it

Id suggest downloading one of the mods with the realistic skins + a new map. Trust me, you will like it more than units and no map

which one do you suggest, i got RTR but dont like it a whole lot, do you like imperitum roma or whatever its name is?

EB is very good, but also very unfinished. A good balance is TE Gold or RESGESTAE Id say. As far as pure units are concerned, RG is the one to go with.

Also dont neglect mods like Troy and Chivalry - they make for a completely different atmosphere.

ok, please spell out those acronyms for me, i have no idea what your talking about.

TE = Terra Expugnandae (not sure of spelling there): A mod with a good map and a lot of good units from various sources
RG = RESGESTAE: A mod which has a lot of very nice extra features as well as amazing units (imo)
EB = Europa Barbarorum: A historical mod (rival to RTR) which has very good (obviously historically accurate) units. The names may throw you for a whirl though

All of these mods and a lot more you can find in the Hosted Community Section of the Forums

have you tried rome total gameplay? are those units good?

**Lusted** · August 02, 2006, 06:20 AM

It does not have the detailed units of EB or RTR, but still has some good ones.

**joecool250** · August 22, 2006, 10:28 PM

what mods have the area of recruitment or zone of recruitment from the TE, EB, or RG? also in RG, cant you build an entire legion instead of just smaller units?

Res Gestae only released new roman units. They did not release new models for the eastern, barbarian and greek. Am I correct? If not please post the link to download the whole new set of Res Gestae units.
