Roman Legionaries

Didn't expect they would look that mighty!

Also, if people have ideas for city names, please send me a PM. I will probably need about 60.

First post updated again. Only 5 are still on the list

I will only tell you that to create that Legionaries unit was a huge task . All the 3 soldiers come from different sources, I have to some heavy editing... but I am happy to now that look as mighty as they should

Well odds of -1/-4 against the Epirotes don't come from nothing!

Hi Akkula!

Well made icons of soldiers and town parts!


Bite, here comes some alternative town icons for further use:

Hope you like it!


Question to the troop icons: Akkula made these icons a little bit bigger and without the classic shadows right to left. Do you wish additional stuff with same style or like PanzerCorps style?

Greetings!

Try to do them with the same style that Akkula has been using - his troops make up 2/3 of the 3d models now and I would prefer there be now odd bits.

Though the fortress icon has given me a very interesting idea - Legions that can switch into it (ie build a fortress), where they are then stronger on defence but immobile and weak on attack. Would anyone like this is or is it overcomplicating things?

Also Pyrrhus is finally set up, I managed to defeat him in 274 BC, which is roughly when the real war ended. After that I'll be dealing with Samnites, Etruscans and then the First Punic War.

Beautiful!
Could you enlarge all of them?, I think its better that way to represent units vs fortress/towns.
Anyway, great units Asuser!, please continue creating more.
Regards.

Legionary camps were an integral part of their travels. Having the option to sit tight in a defensive position would add some period colour. I would expect good defence, but maybe only passive attack while in fortress formation.

Hello,

I made a chariot for "mobile" troops, with support of beautiful horses from phcas:

Chariot_01.png (40.01 KiB) Viewed 6157 times

With making that icon I'm still thinking about the right sizes of unit icons. Wouldn't it be better, to make the troops in the original PK measurement?


Second: Whats about the efx...sound and animation of throwing javelins, flying arrows or smashing catapult bullets? Do we have a source of these files ... or could we make it?

[BiteNibbleChomp]

Thanks Asuser! The chariot wasn't officially a unit, but can certainly be incorporated into the unit file.

None of the PzC units have even the slightest chance of making it into the mod, so it doesn't matter what the original game used (think of it just in relation to the mod - I'm going to try and make it a total conversion at some point)

I haven't given a lot of thought to the efx yet - the 2d units aren't going to have any and those are what I am testing at the moment. I have a sound which is quite good for naval movement (the same one that is used in the Mongol project), but other than that I'm not sure on what will be used.

As for animations, it would be very helpful is you could make these (The scenario will have 1000+ scripts, 300 alone going to the calendar system - I'm very busy with those and with real life stuff at the moment!)

Legionary camps were an integral part of their travels. Having the option to sit tight in a defensive position would add some period colour. I would expect good defence, but maybe only passive attack while in fortress formation.

Defense will then be around 18 (compared to their normal 11), and attack half of what it normally is.

Thanks Akkula and Bite for your feedback.


Bite: I understand the gamerules as follows: If troops take over an enemy town, then this town change the flag. Changing the flag could be modificated eventually with a trigger and the definition of the town as a unit. The town icon of the 'lost side' disappear (Strenght=0) and instead the new town icon of the 'winner side' is setting at the right place of the map. Is that possible?

Switching the troop icon into a town icon wouldn't be my favourite. If you think that... to build a town needs a lot of time. Alternative you could switch the troop icon into a fixed command post (small) or to a troop icon with defensive appearance (more shields than swords). With the last recommendation we could need for every troop icon two versions (attack/defense).

The map is divided into 23 provinces, each with a single (Sicilia has 2) city that serves as its capital (say Rome in Italia). These cities behave just as cities in regular PzC do - you purchase units there. The ownership of a province is determined by the owner of the capital (In Sicilia's case, Lilybaeum is used), and the owner can do virtually anything he likes with it. Towns are more like strongpoints that are destroyed in combat occasionally. If a province 'flips' to another nation during a war, the original towns will be wrecked - some will be rebuilt however in a neraby location.

Turns are 6 months long, and Legionaries were very good engineers .

Is all this free to download officially? Because I don't want any copyright issues. And I do have Rome2 (it was the primary inspiration for this mod actualy!)
