[Noif de Bodemloze]

Greetings TWC members and mod-users!

In previous game, Shogun 2 I have been worked on my NOBWM -project with bloody cool historical units in Boshin war and it gave a lot motivate for me to make new mods. Rome 2 is now out with new challenge and this is good opportune for me. I know this is still new, but I will aim for better result. In this work, I will work to make good, better and cool units for Rome 2 battlefields. I will aim to historical units for better experience to your battlefield. All feedbacks and reports are welcome here. I wish you will enjoy my mods!

THESE MODS WORKING WITH RADIOUS MODS!

Awesome! I love your mods, they never disappoint. In future versions will you include the option to equip your Spartan infantry units with the classic Corinthian helmets that they were iconic for wearing? (probably less historically accurate but that's why you'd make it optional kinda like what you dd with the Tosa hats in your Shogun II mod)

[Massive_attack]

The title confused me, will we get actual texture file changes soon?

[cloner4000]

Love your Shogun 2 Mods, look forward to your work

[Radious]

Very nice changes, well made, cant wait for more.

Thank you so much. I am happy with my new work and this is interesting like shogun 2, but not easy either. I have made some researching and tests for spartan units with my style corinthian helmet, but I have already seen good spartan mods so I will not rush on them yet. My main focus are now in Hellenic and Eastern units. Some roman are under work now. I have couple joker cards in my pocket, what I will use in my future unit mods like I did in my NoBW. Keep your eyes in thread for new updates.

I hope you will Carthage give some love, they are really messed up. There are quite a lot units missing for them, especially a Numidian and Iberian pool.

Carthage units are under construction here beside hellenic and Eastern units.

[Vallon]

Very nice! Perhaps you and King Louise Assurbanipalcould work together, his aim is also to make the units more historically accurate.

Also hopefully we'll get more armored barbarian units.

Some suggestions regarding unit-diversification:

Units I would like to see (mostly missing late-time units), also most troops look the same, even between factions, only with other weapons. So I made a list containing important missing units. For most of them my source was the famous and very authentic Europa Barbarorum-Mod for Rome 1, I also used the real unit names (can be checked up in the corresponding EB-unit-link I posted to each faction). “Fantasy” & unspecific units are written in cursive. So please bring out some unit DLCs and not just add further factions:


Rome: Unit diversity is fair and good. But you should integrate more Auxiliary troops in battle combat mode.

• Gallic Cavalry as mercenaries (also for custom battle)
• Rorarii (also for custom battle)
• All auxiliary units usable in custom battle mode

Carthage: The most interesting unit-rooster faction is very boring – besides the huge AI problems. Where are all the strong mercenaries?

• Iberian Assault Infantry - Dorkei Hatkafa
• Elephantes Hulaioi Liboukoi (Forest Elephants)
• Kasatim Numidim (Numidian Archers)
• Gldgmtk (Numidian Nobles)
• Iberian Lancearii
• Iberian Scutarii
• Real African Elephants
• Milites Ilergetum (Ilergetan Soldiers)
• More Gallic Mercenaries, too
• Poeni Infantry and Phoenician troops

@igor85 - Thank you about your long list! I will take a look on them soon.

@Cathedralsquares - WE WILL!

Hey Noif..
Congrats for your work mate...
Just a question, I really like to use your Eastern spearmen version, but I prefer the vanilla hillmen's versions cause they were hillmen you know so they couldn't afford armor etc
Is it possible for me to use only the Eastern spearmen version???

Thanks...

I agree and would also prefer selecting & adding single units I like...if this is possible.

If you don't want use hillmen version and if you have PFM, you can open my mod and delete eas_hillmen from the list and save. Then it should be on vanilla.

@igor85 I'll consider it soon.

[Majesticc]

cool mod but is possible you could add all the retextures to one .pack file?

[Choki]

Nice job!!! Have some Rep+!

[Noif de Bodemloze]

Thank you! Today and yesterday I have spent a lot time with my units so 14th evening I will release 6-8 new retexture units. They look really better than vanilla. These units come from Carthage ( include sacred band) and Sparta. Soon I will start working on barbarian units.

[McCarronXLD]

Can't wait! Loved your work with Fall of the Samurai. Thank you for continuing your work in Rome 2. Will you be doing realistic army colors again as well or just the retextures?
