Maybe, though I think it might be necessary to use custom models and textures to do it as I don't think it's easy (or perhaps possible) to just export them from Rome 2.

Someone better versed in modding may correct me here but as I understand it the models themselves are built into the games architecture, which is why most unit mods are based on swapping around existing assets and adding custom textures.

If they can be extracted then it shouldn't be too hard, but if not you'd be relying on custom models and I doubt there are many about as segmentia armour etc. already existed in the last game.

I'm no expert on this though, I've played around with db files and done a little customising for my own purposes but something like this would be beyond my abilities.

Thanks for your reply!!

I believe it will be possible, but maybe not just yet...
In a few months when assembly kit came out perhaps, but i was anxious to create one or two lesions with those old legionaries, to be like a special one!

I can only hope haha
appreciate your input! thanks again

I think this can be done (relatively easy even), but I won't get a chance to try it till thursday. Unless someone else answers before that I'll let you know then

Great News if it happens hope they can be used after you researched late military technology in the campaign. +

doesn't seem like it would take much. just take the existing models for the armor/weapons in rome 2, and slap them on attila's bodies/faces. Of course there more to it than that but really taht's all it should take

Can we please make it so that Kaziels romans are making it into the game? he had the best ones imo.

I cant see to get it right! i have a few experience in modding Napoleon total war as you can see in my posts, so i have an idea how to handle pfm and esf editor, but i never succeeded in modding rome 2... Attila is the same of course...

I really need some help here!
I dont know what to put in armor, shield, man animations and etc... What i manage to do always crashes the game!

If some one could make a starting this mod for me... maybe i would be able to do some from there!
And how do i update the mod? In rome 2 every thing i manage to make it was not updated...

Appreciate the help!
