[Farewell]True Legions for True Romans / Obsolete

[Maetharin]

An argument against that would be that the Scutum seems to have developed in the central to southern parts of Italy, whereas the Celtic people settled in Cisalpine Gaul.
Their cultural influence would have at first reached the Etruscans, who IIRC retained their Clipeus until they were conquered by the Romans.

I can imagine that the Celtic incursions influenced the development of the Scutum, maybe it served as incentive to make it bigger.
But IMO ithe Scutum would have developed rather similarily in all of Italy, with local flavours of course, but with constant intermingeling of influences due to the romanisation of Italic warfare.
IMO the Socii would have followed Roman armament closely, with their own styles also each influencing the Roman one.

Agreed. I too think after a good portion of the Italic tribes were made Socii by the Romans, their weapons and armor would become more and more Romanized over the years.

Are these changes to Epirus and the like going to be compatible with the Hellenic overhaul that is coming out in the next DeI update?

They will be made compatible with the upcoming update after it is released to the public.

Thanks a lot mate, pleased to hear that!

By the latest updates including the Samnite one we're happy to portray Italian units as a whole branch including Romans even more authentic.

[Maetharin]

They look awesome, are they from Solitudo´s Italicae Gentes mod?

[Falco]

Oh man I love those feathers lol.

Yes I can see that Romans are far better with the latest changes.

@Maetharin & Falco,
Yes guys its from Italica Gentes Solitudo was preparing another batch of Samnite helmets. When is done with the new stuff we'll be able to release it until the Sol is satisfied with the results.

Sure mate no problem.
Thanks for your kind words. Yeah we did some heavy researching and Koultouras (our lead unit designer) can do wonders with skins, but you know I believe the true meaning of modding is sharing and cooperation between modders so the Community expands and prospers.


EDIT:

By any chance would you provide me some pictures of Etruscans from in game? Just wondering the look of this unit

Here you are mate

Much appreciated my friend!

They look good enough to me btw with some couple touches like the helmet and new lino set, at last we're able to give them Etruscan characteristics and made this unit more distinctive compared to rest latin culture units.

And thanks to Willson for his suggestion about the Etruscans

Idk if it's just me but when I zoom in the models have surprisingly low texture res. Quite blurry.

Which models in particular because just like many mods out there aside our made stuff there are also many models of vanilla, other modder work and etc. you name it...

You know what they say buddy, take a screenshot or it didn't happen

[diego007]

sorry for the late feedback on ss. But here it is, most noticeable on the legionary helmet. The praetorian one is excellent though, never seen texture as sharp as that on a helmet.

Thank you Diego, we'll look at it
