I think that the purpose of hamata was to cover thighs too not only the chest. Thighs were exposed and a cut there could suddenly make out of combat a soldier or even make him bleed to death really fast if the artery was cut.
So I don't think there were short hamata.
I remember I have read that vikings for instance targeted mainly legs first since whey were usually exposed and unarmored so that they called many of their swords "legs biter". They were probably not the only ones doing this.

I will need to update the unit pics since much of the unit work has been updated since the initial release. I am looking for someone with the skill to take epic screenshots to replace all the current pics as well as anyone willing to help promote the project. if anyone is interested please pm me.
is there a non steam link??
The biggest problem with this mod is that the custom models are not optimized and contain many times the needed number of polygons, way more polygons than vanilla models. Now if you set the unit size to small and only have a few units in your army and only fight enemies with low numbers of units in their army then this is not a problem, but otherwise with a large battle, with even medium to large unit size, multiply every unit by the number of polygons in these custom models, and your computer will likely freeze.
Another problem the screens are not how it really looks. The screens have been photo shopped with a filter to make them look better.
When you look closely at the custom textures especially of the custom models in the variant editor you can see that the UV mapping is poorly done with many textures overlapping or not lining up perfectly. Probably they did not resize the texture boundaries inside the painter POST mapping.
You still might enjoy this mod. I didn't but you might, Just keep the concerns in mind. Until these issues improve I don't recommend this mod.

hello good work!!!!!! but I can't download at steam... how I can?
You can't. This mod is only avaible on steam.
Right... so I've got this mod installed and all but I prefer to play on the Augustus Campaign. If I want to have the historical generals, Aurelius, Maximus, etc, spawn in there instead, what changes do I have to make to the original mod? This is purely for private use.
You have to edit the add-on (the one who bring these generals to the campaign) whith pack file manager. I don't know if you have to edit the starpos file of the augustus campaign.
