    A whole lot of posts deleted so now this thread can go back to it's original topic, which is the discussion of this mod.
    Several things should be noted:
    -When using other people's work, you are to give credits.
    -Osprey images are copyright-protected and hence not allowed to be posted.
    -We can lose the hostile/agitated attutide.

    Thread reopened.

    Edit:
    Extra note:
    Do not make a second thread, threads merged.

    That is fair enough then You must after all enjoy making your art. What you need is a suitable late Antonine/Severan into the third century scenario to display the units.
    The current Attila map is fantastic for this period, would have to loose all the churches.
    Return the Parthians - at least until Severus Alexander ( So perhaps Fars could be a break away rebellious satrap of Parthia?)
    Reunited Roman Empire without Christianity (or Christianity minority) Legions and Auxiliaries as late 2nd, early 3rd C with some reforms.
    Germans the majority of confederations Marcomanni, Goths, Quadi can stay others would have to change.
    Nomads especially Huns, Bulgars, do not belong in this time frame.
    But would make an amazing campaign, with the family trees adds to the drama

    Those dont look like roman soldiers of the 200s, more like 300s

    Like Basileos Antiokhos Euergetes I hope for a IV/V centuries roman reskin but it would certainly become a chore to you if you don't like the late roman appearance.

    I have not yet Attila but I am fairly interested in a third century reskin. My interest in this period is growing theses day. I am contemplating the idea to make a campaign mod focused on the Third Century. Maybe something starting from Alexander Severus or Valerian/Gallienus. But I admit the amount of work to do is frightening me.

    First of all, your mod for R2 was my favorite among the many great mods out there. I am a 3d artist myself, and I was wondering if you know of any tutorials that could explain how to import custom assets into R2/Attila. Can't wait to see what you have to contribute to this game!

    Great idea. Emperor Caesar has projects set during Antonine and Severan era. The Third Century AD roman units can be great help to him or for Anna_Gein. The starting date from Alexander Severus is great idea, but it will be better to start in 235 at the start of reign of Imperator Caesar Gaius Julius Verus Maximinus Augustus/Maximinus Thrax. It will be more historical to armed roman civil wars as Alexander Severus´murder was not immediately followed by the civil war (I can´t imagine how on game engine you could script the Maximinus succession).

    well if either one makes a campaign that would be great. Then i could make a unit pack compatible for those campaigns.

    Sounds like a great idea. Would be good to see some more mods focus on this period, One of the most exciting and turbulent times during the Roman Empire. Good luck!

    I think when someone makes a campaign scenario your work on the third century legions will be blessing. Till then why not fourth and fifth century legions very much needed.


    last one bit of a wiki but its just for the shield images

    There is already a big overhaul about late empire called Constantine rise of Christianity and a brand new game called Attila so I guess for late empire this is enough. Only century still uncovered is third century and late second, basically one of the most troubled and interesting time period with deep changes. We would definitely need a overhaul mod with dedicated units for it.
