De Bello Mundi

Hey guys. Your mod is fantastic, i enjoy it very much but i would like to express my opinion about some units for some specific factions. Let's start with this, why the Ptolemies don't have companion cavalry/hetairoi and macedon has? You can add also xystophoroi for macedon. Why you dont have hypaspists for macedon,seleucids and ptolemies? Also, why the baktrians dont have cataphracts or hetairoi? That's all. Your mod rocks and i play it with baktria without any ctds and this makes me happy considering that it is first release. Keep up the good work guys. We thank for delivering us a great mod

1. you just reported a bug with Ptolemaic_Companion_Cavalry. they are present in custom battle, but not in campaign.
2. - There are many discussions of historian about Hypaspitai. they are units of alexander's army. in our time frame i found a few references. btw, i could insert them in some later patch.
3. in my research i didn't find reference to baktrian cataphract. And they have a local version of hetairoi, the Bactrian_Sarissophoroi, based on persian cavalrymen.

About the Hypaspists they did exist mate. The Ptolemies had a royal guard named Basilikon aghma, now about the Seleucids, they had Hypaspists for sure until Antiochus II reign. But after his reign, we know that during Antiochus IV Epiphanes reign when he did the famous reforms and made the daphnae parade, we see that there was corp named Goldenshields, many people believe that it was another phalanx regiment, but the most logical explanation is that it was a royal guard something like hypaspists. Now about Macedon, you have a point here because there is no reference about them in neither pydna nor cynoscephalae.

About the baktrians i noticed the sarissophoroi, it is something that i see it for a first time in a modification and i approve it, but i believe man you should have included the famous baktrian caphracts. I have many sources that they used them on the campaigns or battles. I have also a book here, which describes the famous campaign of Menander in India which says that ''his army was consisted with phalanx regiments,local indians,persians,hetairoi and cataphracts''. Because i am playing with baktria now, you can choose the saka cataphracts which is an aor unit in many of your settlements.

That's all man with all the respect i say these things and express my opinion.

LuciferHawks GEM submod for DBM. It enhances the graphics so the whole game looks alot better. See his screens for proof.

I got a bug when my Roman city was attacked. The AI destroyed the gate with battering ram, but then the gate magically showed up again and AI was stuck behind it (they couldn't pass it nor destroy it). Screenshot:

Am I the only one who prefers this kinda of look? Rome 1 was so colorful.

Don't worry, you're not the only one. I like it when things aren't that gloomy, vibrant colors makes things look like they're "alive" or just like an painting with strong colors.

Is it already out?

First off all, great mod from the first impression I got, also I fought a siege on Corsica and a battle against rebels. The units are very pretty and a joy to watch. Also I don't know if this have been already noted by someone, but I had a Hebrew Priest spawned on Corsica. SO I have to say this in italian, grande lavoro ragazzi, questo e un capolavoro.

Cheers.

This is what I've been waiting for: A mod that captured Rome very well + integrated the best scripting and polygonal (and even AI?) aspects of M2. Absolutely awesome. I'm incredibly happy for this, this will at the least keep me busy till Rome, if not afterwards.
