KLA's better Roman Legionaries Mod (Empire Divided)

Description
I made the mod of Roman legionary units for the Aurelian Empire.

The mod changes units fighting in the traditional Legionary mode: Legionaries, Cohors, Levies, Evocati Cohors, Praetorian Guards, Ioviani and Herculiani.
Units that looked very bad in the basic version of the game. Worse than the cavalry.

They had too many elements from the time of Augustus (the 1st century AD), as well as those transferred from Attila (4th-5th centuries AD).

I decided to remove the ridge helmets, which appeared only at the end of the 3rd century AD The oldest ones come after 280 AD however, in a very simple form and weren't as common as in the game.

I added a lot of new elements and also selected existing ones to fit the 3rd century AD.

In addition, units are more diverse and interesting.

Please KLA, keep working on this great mod when you have the time! :steamhappy:

Excuse me KLA why you dlete original shield to ioviani and herculiani? This is no meaning, shield of these units are historically accurate, why you change????? Please put again orginal shields for these units.

Congratulations for the mod, it corrects most of the vanilla mistakes. Thanks for the excellent job!

This mod is brilliant, but the elite units are too heavy and and the light units look too light. There's got to be a way to spread that armor out to make the armies look more professional and less arcady (granted CA's concept)

Please keep working on this mod when you have the time (I'm sure that you have other things to do during Christmas than Rome II, so everyone understand that :steamhappy:). When the next you update this it'd be great if you could keep in mind of what we spoke of earlier (mail coif's and limiting their use on units).

Are you planning on reskinning Palmyra as well? Great Job btw
Ammianus Marcellinus Dec 16, 2017 @ 5:21am 
yes, thanks, more historically accurate indeed - including the dura europos style mail coifs.
