Imperial Legions of Rome

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

Sorry, I meant the Gladiator movie Praetorians

Commudus may be the next character. Only so i can add him to the campaign map along with maximus and marcus.

I suggest to give Commodus the white armor and white dress of the last duel, it looks very cool.

[LEONARDO THE GREAT]

Next unit:

Tribuni Militum


Military tribunes (tribuni militum) were originally infantry commanders. Under the early republic there were six to a legion; some were appointed by the consuls (chief executives) or military commanders, and others were elected by the people. Under the empire (after 27 bc) the military tribunate was a preliminary part of a senatorial or an equestrian career and subject to the emperor’s nomination. Tribunes commanded bodyguard units and auxiliary cohorts.

The tribune will work as a mid-level commander on the field
The unit will have a small cavalry guard equipped with a spathas as their primary weapens
Will also be available as a cinematic unit

The tribune himself will be identifiable by his white cloak and purple stripe on his tunic

Very nice addition

It is unfortunate that such a strong modder engaged in toys like Maximus or Commodus.

Have you considered putting your great legions on in suitable timeframe?

can you rephrase, i do not understand the question

Uhm... the model is nice. But can I suggest you change the position of the long sword on the hand? It doesn't look very natural right now. Currently it looks like the soldier hold the sword like this: _| But the way the fist is modeled makes it looks off. I think you should change the position of the sword to be held like this: _/ I think it looks better with the current fist model. Just my idea

Sorry, Have you considered changing statpos: date and regions to suit Antonine era?

that was just the angle of the pic, i did not adjust placement of the spatha, it is set to the vanilla placement . here is a better view

well the date would probably not be that difficult to change, however the regions would require heavy startpos modding. I am not a startpos editor so someone else would have to volunteer to take on that project

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

I have been trying But I keep doing something wrong. I thought I would just keep it very simple at first, using Augustus map. I will let you know if I succeed

Have you thought about third century legionary? Simply take those Marines and give them lorica squamata.

True, but third C legions did not all wear lorica squamata in fact most 'probably' wore hamata

But truly these legions and some of the others (for me at least) need a later date to be campaigned in, against the Parthians, various Germanic tribes, and of course fellow Romans ...from my point of view the second most ideal scenario

PS would need a Septimius Severus character

[andrew881thebest]

I suggest a very good website (it's in Italian but use Google translator) for late roman armors and soldiers,
http://soldatiromanideltardoimpero.b...a-del.html?m=1

I found there that main armor for third century was lorica squamata such that showed in second picture together with some hamata (surely they still had those made in previous centuries) . I think that squamata was cheaper and in third century there was a big economic crisis.
I noticed that even if some Shields are simply flat oval so the standard model of auxiliary infantry could be used, some others are oval but convex keeping something of the convex shape of the early empire shield. Maybe this model was more expensive, I suppose, so in later period (4th century) it was abandoned (but not in palatine soldiers) to go back to oval/round shield in simple wood panel (not overlapping wooden panels which were used since samnitic wars to prevent javelins from piercing), going a lot back in time, to 5th century BC, as technique of construction.

A full-fledged 3rd century mod for Attila may be a possibly , but not for Rome II

Seeing more and more Attila footage with armours/tunics/etc from Rome 2 in them, so if we're lucky, a large chunk of Rome 2's stuff will also be included in Attila. If not, it wouldn't be too hard to port stuff over from Rome 2 (assuming CA doesn't mind, which they might, understandably).

So we have had a 4th century mod overhaul (Costantinus) but we cannot have a 3rd century mod? Why?

Because he doesnt want to thats why. Its his mod he does what he likes. Be reasonable. If you want a 3rd cen mod pay him or go make your own.
