    Default 300 Unit Pack - The definitive collection

    Coming soon...



    Brought to you by [user]Spirit_of_Rob[/user] (EB) and [user]Publius[/user] (RTR), this unit pack will seek to embody the spirit and emotion evoked in Frank Miller's recent movie, 300. Work on this began some time ago when pictures and references were somewhat limited, so expect certain artistic liberties to be taken, but look forward to engaging Leonidas and his mighty spartans against Xerxes, his persians, and who knows... maybe a mutant or two as well!

    More to come soon...

    Nice - I'm liking the fact that many people (now with the film out) are making 300 inspired skins. Just one thing though - it was cool when the spartans and such looked all comic bookey in the film (that was kinda th point) but dont make them look comic bookey and odd for the game...skins like that stand out and are not appealing to the eye (at least for me anyways)

    I'm sure you've considered the options but skins that would be worth trying are:

    -Spartans + Leonidas
    -Immortals
    -Persian Mede infantry
    -those explosive throwers
    -persian elephants
    -persian archers
    -the acadians
    -the far eastern warriors (i.e. the guys in the third battle scene)
    -persian camel riders
    -persian cav

    I dont think rhinos are possible so I think that needs to be left out, haha

    EDIT: also this doesnt have to be in your two hands but this is another good idea for anyone willing to undertake it: blood mod...make blood effects, splashes, and blood stains like the movie

    actually a skilled modeler could make the rhinos, and adapt it to the elephant model slot. someone already made tricerotops before so its more then possible.
    very nice banner pub.

    We have a chunk of those either done or in progress. But as the movie isnt out here yet i havent seen all the possible units.

    Rhino's would be possible (well i think they would as i have seen Bulls and dinosaurs) but it would take a better modeler than me, so while possible it wont happen.

    Rome isnt suited to a blood mod plain and simple it jsut doesnt work well it doesnt even look good.

    This is an independant project me and SoR are doing - I know others (such as yourself) have put out various units inspired by 300, but I didn't know there was another actual 300 mod

    Yeah i was contacted about a mod, and then i was reading about one in the mod projects forum. So many are springing up. I'm glad though, this way I don't have to make the persians because I have hardly any time as it is I'll just download somebody else's

    Here are a few I found

    and there is one planned for M2TW too i think.

    Most look like they need a hand with units.

    Well, the more the merrier really. Always good to give people more options. I can't speak for SoR, but I know that I am only really doing this unit pack as a side project, I can't really dedicate time to anything bigger.

    I really look forward to what everyone comes up with, though.

    Cool, well I look forward to the units and hope you make them somewhat stylised.
