Units i would like to be changed...

**Cowellini** · January 25, 2007, 08:50 PM

Hi. I cant help it anymore but i need to say my disgruntled feelings. I love this mod more than any mods even though there are mods offering uber unit skins like in RTR. but im not sure if RtR has the same gameplay style like in spqr where enemy nations will recruit almost all its men to insanity level giving us a monstrous battle almost every turn. **But i was just really hoping if Lt will at least change the roman republican legionnaire. i just cant stand looking at it sometimes where i could see that tiny little "necklace" thing in its neck. it looks like the guy i see singing in a beerhouse or bar. i dnt know but it annoys me

and i hope we could also have a naked barbarians in our mod coz it really makes me feel like im fighting a forest living tribe if theyre naked like the one i saw in that other mod..i just forgot its name though. **and what i dnt like also is the gaulic superior swordsman... its just so heavy built and its even wearing a shoulder pad like as if its going to ride a motorcycle... it wud be better if its wearing a chainmail or something or just simply naked. im not a porno guy who likes nudity but thats just some of my wishes. **and and the urban cohort yay

theyre only wearing stuffs like a militia sigh. i watched history channel before and they have the urban cohort in it also... they have the urban cohort shown like as if its a legionnary also. dressed and armed like a legionaire. one of the best armed guard of the city thats why theyre feared. I just wish this three cud be changed with some kind of patch. But hey i love this mod and whatever happens im here for spqr always.

just make the changes yourself it isnt difficult take the models and skins from where you want and put them in SPQR change the stats if you dont think a unit is hard enough.

Urban Cohorts are NOT an Super Soldier they were RETIRED Legionaries, and were most likely suplying their own equipment. Only Praetorians were a special gaurd and even then they were NOT as good as the Legionaries that Fought ALL the time. More of a political appointment than Combat, infact the Patroled the city in Toga's not Armour. lol

As for the Naked Warriors, no one has made a model yet that wasnt over overly Nude, after all I play a Game not a Porn Show. Large Penis on a model is a little too much.

Nobles which is what made up the Elite BARBARIAN swordsmen were Heavily armoured because they could afford armour which was expensive back then, I think they are nicely done and look the part.

The Republican Cohorts are styled after Ceasars Legions and not Augustus, therefore the rounded Shield, I think the look Wonderful myself and blend in with the later unit auxilia, but skins are like ART everyone has a different opinion on what looks good.

The Neck issue you speak of is visible at 1200x1024 and above and on LCD monitors,. I NEVER noticed this issue on my CRT monitor but when I switched to the LCD they were there, I think there is no way to fix this as it only shows on the LCD or Laptop screens at High Rez.

And your right RTR gameplay is totally different to SPQR, that is what makes SPQR unique.

I havent found anything that I didnt like about SPQR yet. It is amazing what you did to RTW.

Spqr skins are really unique,specially the gauls chosen swordsmen and the german chosen axeman,and the praetorians are truly amazing.
I wish you changed though the mercenary units,they re geting a bit old I think.

Sorry for all those complaints

i did tried doing some editing on how my roman soldiers will look but failed. I just messed how my soldier looked like. One time i edited my legionaire and they ended up wearing a helmet that looks like a spagetti water strainer. all the grafix had been mixed i think

.
Im just glad that we have very nice options to choose from here in units and theyre very realistic. Coz in other mods that i played.. their units are very colorful.. like they dnt have much details.. they just simply have a blue helmet thats all lol and they have so many to choose from it just makes the game confusing. Im happy too in spqr coz we dnt see the "green" armored spanish mercenary i think and that "green" mercenary barbarian. plus carthage units are so nice especially the ones wearing that cool shield.
And mostly.. i really like that spartan elite wow with that red cape and that very solemn headgear that covers the face and the way they hold their spear is sweet. **And dnt forget the way the roman soldiers hold their sheild! they hold the sheild very tight to the body like as if theyre telling to enemy to get close to them and i love it

Yeah spqr is right.. barbarians with too much nudity isnt just right. but ill try to get that german spearman in other mods the one wearing a ponytail with strong abs. ehehe

hello

i would rather there was a slight change to the greek models! its picky but i would like to see a more detailed greek hopolite and varied types (sword etc)
but thats just cheeky lol.....spqr units are great (not the ones i skinned lol, fallen out with them now)

**ferres** · January 26, 2007, 04:05 PM

Hmm.. are you referring to the hook on the chest connecting the shoulder pads of the hammata? That is really part of the Legionnaires gear.

To make it less visible, turn on glints and reflections so it will blend better.

I think all the units look pretty awesome to be honest, and I'm glad you decided to just soup up some of them (like Carthage Sacred Band, my personal fave) and keep the distinct style that seperates them from the non elite. Their helmet with the white plume is so menacing and ambiguous and puts RTRs to shame, even if RTR's version may be closer to accurate in some cases.

I do have one question though, I'm trying to modify it to make it a little harder for Carthage and other nations etc, but I'm stuck on one thing. How do I increase the unit size? I need to make Roman cohorts upto 240 men on average, in order to provide more of a threat earlier on, all the other stats I can do for myself, but I can't see one that seems to relate to the units size in the units edit section. Also, is it possible to increase a horse unit to 240 men? Or is there a cap in their case?

Thx for any help.

answer to your above question is in the C:\Program Files\the creative assembly or activision\Rome - Total War\data\export_descr_unit:::: in soldier roman_praetorian_cohort_i, 60, 0, 3.5

**kajo** · January 27, 2007, 04:30 PM

Bingo, ty sir.

**mercja** · January 26, 2007, 06:00 PM

I agree with lord geordie, I would like to see the more diffrent types of hoplites for the greek cities; athenian, corinthian, etc. like in extended greek mod. I know I can add these to SPQR but I forgot which files I would need to change in order to make this happen, such as skeletons TGA skins and settlement changes and such.
