My dear Leonardo, there is just a detail I find not correct in your units (and also in vanilla game) and it's the Lorica Segmentata which in your pics presents 2 leather suspension straps as in the Model Corbridge, while we know that during the late II century and the III century it was widespreaded the use of the model known as Newstead, a semplified and stronger model of segmented armor, in which the iron segments covering the thorax, are suspended to the upper part of the armor by two metal suspension hooks, and all the other leather straps are sobstituted by metal components. Just to be clearer:
Corbridge type A:Newstead type:Spoiler Alert, click show to read:So, is it possible finally having a Newstead Segmentata on Rome 2?Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Sadly, in my knowledge, nobody has yet succeeded in introducing Newstead armors in game, so, possibly the task it's not easy, but let me say that it would be magnificent being able to watch our III cent. Romans displaying their beautiful Imperial Italic H, Hiddernheim and Niederbieber helmets, finally combined with the right armor type!

hamata variant #1 with dura type shield. Units will contain hamata, squamata, and segmenta equipment variations. an oblong shield and new spatha are also in the works.
Stunning work! Can't wait!
WONDERFUL!!
Leonardo,
I know you're ahead in your work now, but if it's any use I am Third Century reenactor in the UK from Cohors Quinta Gallorum, if there's any way I can help provide pictures of kit or information I am happy to help. I've seen you use a few photos of our kit already which is great to see, we maintain a high degree of archaeological authenticity with our kit so you can rest assured any photos of us will be useful for what you; incidently you have modelled the armour which I wear I have a copy of Quinta's kit guide as well as various photos of the kit we have and us at events. If you wish to see any of our stuff drop a line and I'll help however I can.
How far will I go for Rome? At least to the end of the street, I hate walking
great! if you can send me as many pictures as you can from your re enactment group that would be very helpful. I especially need info on the secondary sword carried by legionaries from this time period. I keep coming across what looks like an oversized pugio. also helmet crest attachments. bags, pouches, shield patterns for the oblong type shield
progressing along, new trousers, shoes, centurion, shield designs, icons
No words, just .. wonderful work!
hey Leonardo, Huge fan and eagerly awaiting this mod. Just wondering if you change the angle of the sheaths would they still stick out from the shields. (nitpicks the guy that can't mod)
I love you baby! .. Buon Anno anche a te! (En.: Happy New Year to you too!)
I've found a good site devoted to Roman helmets, it's in Italian and the pics are really great, here the links to three pages displaying III century's types:
GUISBOROUGH-HEDDERNHEIM (I-III sec. d.C.)
WEISENAU NIEDERMÖRMTER (IMP. ITALICO) (II-III sec. d.C.)
NIEDERBIEBER (II-III sec. d.C.)

Any plans for new helmets? Personally I think CA did a pretty good job, but didn't know if you wanted to make any.
Hi Leonardo, first of all thank you for your mods they are all great. I have no doubt that this one will be at least as good as the others. I am looking forward to his exit. Do you have any idea when you planned to release it?
