@UMCenturion, so this mod changes just the imperial legions, right? saying that because pre imperial, everything is covered by Little Legionaire and Solitudo submod.

The file contains variantmeshdefinitons to replace some of the vanilla DEI units, but they aren't actually used, for now if you keep LL's file above this one, none of the regular units should be affected.

[Eldgrimr]

It also covers Marian and Augustan legions.

[UMCenturion]

It's a modification of all legions. As far as it being save game compatible, honestly I have no idea. But it's worth a try.

[Totalknight]

anyone else notice it takes longer to load after a battle?

[Dardo21]

The patch should be save game compatible, the imperial units are in the game but they currently do not work with the imperial reforms (are tied to the advanced_barracks_construction tech I believe). When it becomes between choosing between the normal patch and the imperial one it's quite simple, the normal ones has the imperial units locked outside of the reform script so you can reach the marian units through the reform system, the imperial patch unlocks the imperial units from the start meaning it's meant to be used with the Augustus campaign (or during a game where the imperial reform has already been reached yet). I might give the imperial reform another try tomorrow or something, but from past experience I have learned that adding units to the script is impossible, or i'd be doing something wrong, which would be odd since adding the marian ones worked just fine.


EDIT: I think you may have copied the the reform script from my imperial version, since the imperial units are in the script (they are however not in the unlocked part of the script, oddly enough). I just gave adding the imperial units to the reform script another try, as long as I don't add the upgrade unit tech from marian to imperial, the imperial units stay locked, however I haven't tested yet if the imperial units actually unlock after the imperial reform.

EDIT 2: I succesfully managed to add the imperial units to the reform script, they correctly stay locked and get unlocked after the imperial reform, HOWEVER, they do not play along with the imperial upgrade technology. So you can either keep having the imperial units locked to a normal tech, or have them locked to the reform script, but then you'd have to recruit them as new units for now. Potentially you could use a second file that adds upgrade tech for the imp units, which you would only activate after you've hit the reform, but that's a bit tedious.

Here's a small hotfix that will enable the imperial units to be recruited through the reform system, but as I said, they can not get upgraded from the Marian ones.

So if i understand correctly everything works as intented but once i reach the imperial reform i cannot upgrade my marian/augustan legion to the imperial legions ?

But you fixed that once i reach the imperial reform i dont have to close my game, go to the userscript activate the imperial patch and start my game again ?

Also i dont need the imperial patch anymore for the augustus campaign or do i still use it there ?

As far as i've seen, all my patches should no longer be neccessary, the imperial patch was only meant to be used for the IA campaign, since it unlocked the imperial units from the start, however, you could activate that one after you actually reach the imperial reforms so you can upgrade the marian ones. But untill you reach the imperial reforms, you only need Centurions file and my hotfix if you want the imperial units to be unlocked by the reform script.


@Eldgrimr
Place centurion's mod above your dei files, if you use my reform hotfix, put that one above Centurion's file.

[Eldgrimr]

Should I place this above or below the other mods?

[UMCenturion]

Should I place this above or below the other mods?

Above - but i should automatically place itself there. if not manually edit the name to get it to do so.

[Totalknight]

Dardo this is getting really confusing.... questions:
- are these ceasars legions or UMCenturions legions?
- I know for Marian they are the same but differ after that
- I personally want UMCenturion's full legion set with everything.
- there are many downloads now, can you update the first page with the last official update with a good explanation?

thanks

[Dardo21]

This is Caesar's mod with UMCenturion's/Ancient Empires skins and unit cards, normally you longer will need Caesar's original mod since this file seems to include everything. He used my compatibility patch to make it work with DEI 1.2+. I suppose I can update my own patch to play along with this mod and the original one. But if this mod stays updated that wouldn't really be needed, I'll also change my imp version into a file that only includes the upgrade tech for imperial units, so you can activate that file above this file whenever you hit the imperial reforms.

Thanks Dardo for the explanation.

I'm not sure if this is due to Dardo's patch or UMCenturion's mod but:

Legio I Germanica Cohorts Prima and
Legio I Germanica Legionarii don't have the new unit cards.

I noticed that too, same goes for Legio Cohors II adiutrix, I think those aren't finished yet.


@Totalknight, the legions are AOR, but I don't know how they are placed unfortunately, maybe there's some info on the original mod's page.

Υeah, it's fine. Nitpicking mostly.

[UMCenturion]

Here's some clarification. XIIICaeasar gave us permission to use his legions in the AE mod - We used his units, his db information etc - but i decided to expand upon it and make new models and textures for the 2nd level and 3rd level legions.

There are 3 sets of legions the AE and I have created:

Caesarian (some people refer to these as Marian) - 1st set - The skins and vmds are the latest that XIIICaesar has done. I never changed his vmds or textures - only made units cards for them. Again these are the early legions

Marian (some people refer to these as Augustan) - These legions are all new, retextured and new models.

Imperial - These are all new, retextured and new models.

Unit cards should be working, but ill check soon to see the issue. Eventually i plan on redoing the whole unit card set to match the new DEI style.

[Totalknight]

OKay, think i got this figured out, is there an AOR for these legions?

thanks,

Alex

UMCenturion - Can you upload this to the Steam Workshop? Nice looking units I finally got them
