data right?
data right?
Are you inquiring about the installation of the pack files?
Yes, they go into the data folder.
Very nice.
Great job. Thanks for separating the packs also.
A quick thank you ! Being a fan of HBO's Rome, you're my new hero !
I just can't decide if I prefer the Historical Marian V1 or the HBO guys ... looks like Marian V2 pack is gonna settle this dilemma
In fact, I paused my Roman playthrough because I can't stand to look at my new army of vanilla veterans : so you Sir managed to put an entire Legion to halt with your wonderful reskins ! ^^
What faction colour mod are you using now? I don't remember the faction recolour mod having red and white tunics for romans.
Never mind, I didn't see you'd done it yourself.

This mod is just...Just awesome Thank you for making it, thank you a lot <3
Keep the romans coming mate look hot
and thank you
When will this version be available for download?...
Hey guys, thanks for all your compliments!
@ HUNK I'd say probably this evening (U.K. Time), mate. I'm just doing some finishing touches on the Marian veterans and the Iberian auxilia, and then I'll need to take some time to work out how I'll release the units, and consider/work out compatibility issues.
Here are some quick pics of the First Cohort (almost finished):

What do you guys think??
Unfortunately in Rome II, a lot of the clipping can't really be avoided
edit: I'm going to see for other helmet types I can fit into the unit, there's not enough variation for my liking.
If some of you are a bit dubious about the presence of some of the hellenistic/attic helmets in my Marian units, don't worry, they are accurate: I'll be presenting my case in the historical context section. I'll also be doing a section on the colours I've used looking at some of the dyes/pigments used in the Roman army of the period.
I know a lot of the history sections haven't been filled out yet, but there are a lot of pics/info I need to get in there, so it'll be a gradual process.

Beautiful :') In my opinon..Those orange tunics look pretty nice.
Thanks
It's frustrating at the moment, I'm constantly having fiddle with the red tunic colour. As I stated before, I want to make them as accurate as I can. Red was indeed used in the Roman army, but it was in a different shade than what we usually see.
The fiery red you see on the material on the bottom is the sort of colour you'd be looking at with red tunics. I'm trying to find a good balance with the red because currently it's too dark. I'll get it in time. Worry not though, the units will be out this evening.
Looks like this would be my best bet:
R: 200
G: 34
B: 22

Really appreciate your fine works, really. thanks.
Could you also do the first cohort with squared shields? (And when you can with HBO colors )
And can something be done with the velites??
And yes, its me again
They look amazing!! Can't wait! (Question though, since Radious changed his veteran legionaries to spearmen, will your mod still work with them?)
Hello again, I have a few more screens for you, but I'll answer your questions:
@3enrique, yes I can do that for you after I have released these historical ones. Do you want the eagles on the shield still? And shall I get rid of the thracian helms and just keep montefortinos to go with the HBO helmet look?
@Falco, yes I think that was mentioned before. I'll release this version first with the more accurate sword-armed veterans etc. Then I will have a look into it and put up a Radious compatible version. I think it will just be a matter of changing the weapons and attach_points on the VariantMeshDefinitions. I will then upload the veteran spearmen as a separate link. It shouldn't take long at all, so you can expect that tonight, I'd say.
Since each unit will come in a separate .pack, you can play about with the other ones while I'm making my radious compatible veteran re-skins.
Right, i've finished the units now. I'm going to organise the files....
The re-skin will come in one archive file, with two sub-folders. Each folder will contain the same units, but one folder will have soldiers with the colours you have seen in the preview (similar to my HBO Legionaries, where the individual units are coloured but don't affect your faction colours), the other folder with have soldiers that are coloured according to your Roman faction colour scheme.
I may also have to consider other comparability issues since I have also edited "_VariantModels" to make the shields uniform in colour (otherwise the legionaries would have beige shields mixed with red), and also change the first cohort shield into an early republican.
We'll see what happens, the units should run smoothly with most mods that don't re-skin the same unit.
EDIT:
(Screens) Tunics and shields now have accurate colours. The red tunics represent ones dyed in the popular Madder, most widely used in the Roman empire to dye clothing (including military tunics) red. The shields are in the proper shade of Kermes.
Iberian Auxilia, based on the relief at Osuna:
Once I learn to make new units, I will make them swordsmen....
