[Released] AAA: Roman Generals (v1.0.1)

[Yumi]

Is there any non-steam link to the submods polybian style uniform and marian style uniforms?

[Benjin]

In preparation for the final 1.0 release of the Romans, I've just made a minor change - swapped the old thumbnail with a new one.



The reason for this is because I am removing the changes I made to Varro in the Battle of Cannae and making my Dad represent Pompey Magnus for a different mod which fully re-implements the Battle of Pharsalus (can find the mod here). I've improved the head model textures a lot (better eyes, better normal, fixed mouth etc) and I made a cool little 3D render of him in Marmoset Toolbag 3 to better represent him as Pompey Magnus alongside Julius Caesar in the new briefing cutscene (which makes use of unused audio files).



Here's what the real Pompey Magnus looked like, for the sake of comparison.

Is there any non-steam link to the submods polybian style uniform and marian style uniforms?

No, there isn't. I'll put it up as a separate download soon.

love the mod bro keep it up. Just one question, after my generals reach lvl 9 and 10 they got their helmets removed and get the purple scarf instead of the red one like in the pictures above. Im using the base mod and the imperial grand campaign submod edit: this cesar model spawns in the grand campaign right? Or you need the dresden historical family submod aswell.

this head is also pure perfection

Hey, sorry I'm not 100% sure what you're asking on your first question - are you asking if it's correct for generals to replace their helmet with a gold wreath at ranks 9 and 10? If so, then: Yes for helmets being swapped to wreaths, but only for some characters - most wear a new ceremonial-style helmet instead. Yes also for the purple cloaks - all Roman characters get a purple cloak at rank 10.

As for the second question regarding Caesar, short answer is yes you need Dresden's historical family submod in order to see Caesar - with his appearance from the “Caesar in Gaul” campaign - spawn in the Grand Campaign. Long answer is that, in the vanilla game, there are historical characters who spawn as recruitable candidates for your faction (and, I believe, for the AI as well). However, there’s an obscure bug with their appearances - they are assigned generic random appearances instead of the ones they are supposed to be given in the database files. They only appear correctly if they are spawned via a payload (i.e. an award from an event or dilemma), which is what Dresden’s mod does (his mod only works for your faction and party though). This is why people sometimes see a “Gaius Julius Caesar” character appear on the campaign map around 100BC for Rome, but without his unique appearance he is hard to spot whether or not he is a historical or a randomly generated character.

Do you need to change anything to the mod if i for example change the spawning time of caesar in the dresden submod. Tried to get him normally but at 367 turns in i conqured all of the map so no point for him to spawn anyways. And if i do what do i need to change?

I know its a long time away but when you do Empire Divided the generals will have more of an attila feel or standard Imperial general

Yeah, it's a while away - Empire Divided will probably be released around the end of the year as there's a lot to do for them.

The Romans (Aurelian) in ED I imagine will have an Imperial / Third Century look about them.

I don't know yet for the Gallic Romans + Palmyrenes. Maybe they'll look mostly similar to the above references but with minor differences. Perhaps their high ranks could be entirely different, more closely matching the style of their faction leaders (e.g. Gallic Romans could have slightly more Imperial-styled armour like Tetricus'. Palmyrenes could have slightly more eastern-styled armour like Zenobia's).

Holy cow with that lvl 10 general i would even fight the 100 percent autoresolve lol.

btw still didnt figure out the Family System AAA general question above (im itching to conqur everybody with Caesar

[Benjin]

Are you asking if you need to change anything to the AAA Generals: Rome mod if you edit Dresden's Historical Family System - Gens Julia to have Caesar's spawning dilemma trigger at a different time?

If so, then no. However, I did inspect the HFS mod's "historical_characters_tables" > "FamilyRome_historical_characters" table and noticed that Dresden didn't assign unique appearances to his historical characters. So, you'll either need to edit it yourself to have Caesar spawn with his correct appearance by importing the new table and editing it (the mod uses an old one from patch 17 I think, which was before CA fixed the issue where spawned characters didn't get their assigned appearance) or ask Dresden to do it.
