Ancient Colors (Emperor Edition Update)

[Épaminondas The "Oblique"]

Thks Post Hoc, I haven't decide yet if I will do mixed color for each units or single color for each unit.

Shiver: GEM 3 Truecolor

Will you be updating now that Pdguru has his new version released?

Shiver: GEM 3 Truecolor

Ahh, thanks

And let me add that you did a great job with this mod, I would have never thought this saturation/color adjustment having such a huge impact on the ingame look and atmosphere.
Amazing!

One of the best mods yet for Rome II! +1 Rep! Any plans for improving the textures for the rest of the barbarian factions and new expansion pack factions (Scythians, etc.)?

[Épaminondas The "Oblique"]

Thank you for the kind words, I'm fully working now on the AGA project for the visual and research to make it the most realistic overhaul on TWC. When we will have the next release for the graphical sub mod i will upload a link here as well as screenshot.

I'm working on it with Selea (team leader), Kymmuriel (coding, meshes), LittleLegionnaire (unit skin and texture. We have permission to use Kaziel, LittleLegionnaire, Meneros and Artstudio's skinpack and texture as well as many others so this is very exciting ressources ! From my side i do faction colours (^^), unit individual colours and historical research (will post a preview soon of those parts).

So as you see Ancient Colors is turning into the graphical overhaul of the AGA project which is the best battle/campaign gameplay overhaul at the moment !

Stay tuned !

Will you release new versions of Acient colors seperatly for those of us that wants just it and not whole aga for now?

[Architeuthis]

An excellent mod Épaminondas! This realistic colors are a most welcome addition to the game. One question though. Unit variety (specifically the color of the tunics) seem to be determined by the graphical setting of the 'unit detail' option. It seems that with the Ancient Colors mod units are stuck with one color tunics until this particular setting is changed to eultra or extreme. E.g my entire Ptolemaic army is wearing blue on 'very high' unit detail or lower. I don't remember this being the case with the vanilla uniforms, although I could be mistaken. Did you change something in the config that would allow for this situation?

[Épaminondas The "Oblique"]

No but indeed, low settings are limiting the unit variation. I will rework the base of some elite unique colours on the next version so even on low setting you will have good level of variant inside a same faction's army.

Much appreciated. I need all the frames I can get so I'm looking forward to that. Keep up the good work!

Have the same request Epaminondas...
Please don't make it AGA only...many people would like the colors only...

Also I think that the mod stopped working after patch 7

Cheers...

[Épaminondas The "Oblique"]

Thinking of doing more historical Macedon and Ptolemaic ==> less black and blue more red and white.
AGA is on the edge of a major update, a quick fix as been released for patch 7 i think on the main thread.

[♔Greek Strategos♔]

Epaminindas@ I mean ancient colors is not working after patch 7...
could you check that please...???
Also what about the standalone version of your mod...???

[Frei]

I'm using patch 7 beta and this mod works fine. You must be doing something wrong if yours doesn't work.

I will recheck for anything that may breaking it then...

thanks...

EDIT: I have rechecked every possibility and even tested it without any other mods, just Vanilla...
The color stays the same without any change...
For example as it seems from the pictures eastern spearmen should be mostly yellow...
Mine are purple....

Any help would be appreciated Epaminondas...
