Bite, do you loaded the sound and animation files from Total War Center (Link from Hanny)? I can't, descricption and the right way to that place is a little bit confusing for me.

Nevertheless, do you need still more icons with troops for your new mod, then I will make more of them. Ok?

Bite, in your very first post you wrote about six nations, Egypt inclusive. Therefore I made also the Egypt leader and I wanted to make also Egypt fighting troops. It's not necessary?

I thought, that the player of your new mod can choose one of the six nations to conquer Europe? Possible game target. ..

Planned: Town parts, province leaders, troops (light/heavy), ships ... merchant goods for all of these nations, Ok?

I agree it's a shame to waste the air layer, and adding a spy unit that moves like a plane and has high spotting would be historically valid. The obvious unit with Anti spy capability would be Secret Police (or nosey neighbours). Your spy would probably need either a limited life or very low unit strength - hard to catch but easy to kill if you can get it.

Maybe you could have a plague unit with random patrol orders.....

I won't be including them as a separate unit - you can have the thought that they are serving within the Gallic light infantry. (I doubt 10,000 of them ever served as one unit)

Still awaiting a Heavy Infantry (Swordsman) 3d icon.
Espionage system under consideration.
Map complete

For a while now I have been mentioning the fact that I have been working on a project other than WWI or the Mongols... I now reveal it to be 'Imperator Romanorum' - a mod focused on Ancient Rome!

Currently the mod is still in early stages as I have been doing other things as well as modding a lot more lately (mostly playing CK2!), but I thought it would be best if I announced the mod and then you guys have the opportunity to be part of this new idea!

Features I have decided upon:

Map is 100x75 hexes, covering most of Europe (except roughly one quarter will be covered in 'terra incognita' - unknown land)
Game starts in 280 BC with the Pyrrhic wars and will go on until 51 AD
A new decision system that will allow you to recognise nations as Great Powers, Reform the Republic and more...
Diplomacy including trade, peace and war with the other three current great powers.
Six Great Powers in total (Rome, Carthage, Egypt, the Seleucid Empire and potentially Suebia and the Iceni)
A province system. The map is divided into 23 provinces, each with a major town. Control of the town gives you effective control of the province.
Buildable towns that can be placed throughout your provinces (and outside of them if you wish to expand into barbarian regions)
An improved quest system similar to that found in the WWI grand map.
The ability to conquer regions that Rome never got to such as Caledonia, Suebia and Parthia (OK, attempted were made into all of these but none were successful )

Of course, more will be revealed, and some screenshots will be shown as the mod gets closer to release.

Possible ideas that could do with icons as well:

Merchant goods in both land and sea variants
Pirate ships
Spies (designed like an air unit but with a land unit appearance)
