Different Unit Cards Depending on DEI Load Order?

[Alesandros]

Hello,

I've noticed that many unit cards change in appearance, depending on how you load order of the 3 main DEI parts (1, 2, and 3) - while using the regular Steam R2TW mod loader.

The unit cards featured below are of Rome, after the Polybian Reforms and showcase (Left > Right)

1. Equites Consulares (General)
2. Equites Extraordinarii (x2)
3. Principes (Late) (x4)
4. Triarii (Late) (x4)
5. Hastati (Late) (x4)
6. Velites (x3)
7. Kasatim Shardanim (x3)



The load order (going from top to bottom) of 1, 2, 3





Yields this:





---


However, with a load order of (3, 2, 1)...




Yields this:






Which are the "correct" unit cards?

*Only (3) units of Triarii... not (4). Whoops.

Top ones,

Load order should be 1,2,3.

I guess it's personal preference. I personally use the latter.

To be honest this is something I have been wanting to mention, a lot of the new unit cards look like their necks are missing. The body proportions just seem off. The Principes and Triarii showcase this on the screenshots above. They just look kind of goofy, and the image seems grainier. This isn't the case with all of them, the Hastati look great, but there are quite a few like this. Wouldn't mind them being changed at some point, or even reverted, for the worst offenders. Anyhow just a gripe, as I've heard they are very time-consuming to do.

Somewhat related question: I have always played DeI mod with packs in order 1, 3, 2 since the mod manager puts that order when you reset. The game seems to detect different load order as a different version but could there be different content effects if you change the order to for example 1, 2, 3 like presented in the thread?

do you mean the old or new unit cards?

Part 1 has the most updated content, often it will overwrite content in part 2/3 because its easier and faster to upload/download and steam has put new restrictions on mod sizes for Rome 2 mods for some reason. So, yes, if you don't load Part 1 first you may get a lot of older content or even wrong content.

The standalone is a bit of a different story. If its between major updates, it will have some stuff that may overwrite part 2. But I try to keep it a bit cleaner with those.

Edit - also for those who prefer the older Roman unit cards there is a submod for that on Steam.

Help, 1 2 3 or 1 3 2?

[Dresden]

2/3 don't really matter, but I recommed 1,2,3 as the load order just to be safe.

The new ones are the ones that seem weird to me
