Is there a way to use this mode with fall of eagles regardless of unit stats compatibility?

For those who don't like the strange way the Praeventores throw their javelins:

Open the modfile with PFM, open Praeventores in Variantmeshdefinitions (rightclick, open as text), at the end of the text make this change:

<SLOT name="weapon_4" attach_point="weapon_05" >
<VARIANT_MESH model="variantmeshes\_variantmodels\man\weapons/javelin_leaf_01.rigid_model_v2" />

And yes, they are holding the javelins in their hands before throwing them. Do the same for the Exploratores.

love this mod forever

i can´t use this mod :( , why?

@flying llama youll probably never see this but huge thanks for this mod, its just the right amount of buffs to elevate the dog vanilla roman armies to proper power. Really saved my interest in this game.

so is this mod dead?

hey i dont know why but my this mod casues cavalry units to not be on horses , i doubt this is intentional ,any idea why , or is it just conflicts

awesome

@kellymorty - Hurry up and reach puberty. By leaving the mod up, anyone (like you) can download the mod, edit it, remake it or update it. It's the beauty of modding.

Does this mod enable Rome to keep using infantry generals?

Could you make a version where this would simply apply for the ERE and not the WRE?

Sorry, this is no longer being updated as I'm not playing ATW any more. Feel free to do whatever you like with the files.

i have no only AoC DLC so if I subscribe does the mod work or crush?

Can I add you as a friend? I have a question I need to ask and it's kind of in depth.

@portuelmarine Western Roman Empire (WRE)

is compatible with Radious ? *O*

plz add belt at Herculiani Seniores & Palatina spears

Do all the DLCS need to work?

when it says it's for the WRE version, what are you referring to?

Also, could you move the modded names to a new file? This mod overwrites my "Historic Roman Unit Names" mod.

The Protectores and the Armigeri should probably be a seperate defense-orientated line. They're kind of like elite town watch units. The Armigeri should also come before the Protectores, because the Protectores were the men actually guarding the emperor. You should also remove the Ravenna Ballistarii and the Eastern Armoured Legion because they never actually existed.

I look forward to the ERE version. This is probably the best Roman overhaul out there.

No Berkasovo helmet for elite units ?

PS. Maybe chainmail with shoulder gaurds aswell, in my opinion, it would look so much better.

If you don't mind me suggesting, but I feel all these units would look way more Roman with an old scutum shield (the rectangular one with curved edges). Might be selfish, but i just want them to look like the old roman legions.

Do all of the Infantry have berkasovo helmets? (Expect for the Herculiani) Since the Limitanei don't have any helmets, (By the looks of it in the screenshots) could you give them Intersica Helmets? Maybe you could give a few more units as well if you want. Limitanei are suppose to be well equiped soldiers in the 3rd and 4th Century even if they were farmers when they weren't fighting or defending the border.

Hm not sure, I haven't modded the siege equipment in this one!

Sweet, I've noticed an insane amount of siege equipment can be built in a single turn and wasn't sure if it was a feature or compatibility problem with lack of DLC

I've used some armour skins from the DLCs but from what people have said in comments, it seems to work fine without the DLCs.

Will the mod work without all DLC's?

Thx for noticing that, I will check this weekend.

Can you check on the praeventores (ERE) they have missile attacks but they are not holding any javelins when engaging in ranged attack/ charges.

seems to have worked. Ive been in a very intense war with the Jutes over Britannia and although I loved the reskin I noticed most of the issues agianst them. but now things seem to be getting a bit more evenly matched. My war effort is back on track (and yes) now my little roman Paragons of civilization are back to laughing at the savages as they fight in the shade

Updated version uploaded.

So in testing it turns out unit HP is very important for missile survival, and I'd lowered the HP a bit in some units to compensate for increased melee defence - so I've improved unit HP back. Additionally, I've made a couple of new Roman shield types with slightly better missile block chance. All standard infantry now have slightly better missile block than barbarian equivalents, and all elite infantry have 'good missile defence' stat. Thirdly - I've buffed shield wall and spear wall formations vs missiles to encourage their use. In my battles I find myself changing formations frequently depending on what's going on.

In testing now, missile survival is significantly better than vanilla (to help counter barbarian missile spam).

You can definitely feel the extra missile defence compared to vanilla, but standard units will still get routed in 10-15 minutes by an archer army if not kept in testudo / wall formation.

So I did some testing and you are completely right. Some of the modded units die about 25 to 50% faster than vanilla units to sustained missile fire (although some of them survive longer). I have no idea why but I'll look into it and try and find a fix.

Thanks for the feedback! I have to say, I'm not sure where the problem would be because they have the same defensive abilities and same shield type as vanilla spearmen (similarly the T3 infantry). I've not had any issues with cavalry, but on VH I do struggle against missile spam. I'll compare the unit stats again see if I missed something.

the spearmen really need more defensive abilities. i love the mod but i just watched them get destroyed by calvary. also i find a common problem with you mods (agian which are awesome) is that u leave the romans, who were a very shield based infantry. Heavly exposed to ranged attacks. my T3s get mowed down by archers. seems unrealistic

@СКОРБЬ - posted this [www.twcenter.net] when it was released :). @Magolwanin - because they look cool .

Why using all the unhistorical assets?

Please post a thread at twcenter

Uploaded Native Rebels mod. Rebellions now made up of native barbarian troops instead of elite roman armies.

Uploaded Garrison Mod . Three new units that are ony found in WRE town/city garrisons.

Yes, same armour, different tunics. Few minor updates. I've uploaded a skin only version here , but don't recommend using it over this one .

the officer with the scales si that from last roman too?

This mod looks very promising, i like how units look realistic unlike with some mods that make soldiers look like in hollywood films...anyway i hope u finish ERE too so i could subscribe :)

Looked up Notitia Dignitatum and found this site [lukeuedasarson.com]. That is very cool, especially all the shield patterns. This mod isn't supposed to be super-historical but its super tempting to do some sort of historical reskin from that document, though I'm not sure if its been done already in one of the overhauls?

I'm having trouble with garrisons because without startpos editing, the game always spawns new garrison units on 40% health. I will probably release that as a separate mod with a buff to increase replenishment rates. I want to do something about rebels as well - in my current game I'm having stacks of protectores and onagers pop up as rebels from discontent which is a bit silly.

i like the idea of creating a mod while playing :) eager to see it working for my favorite ERE

Nice but, this mod, completly ignore NOTITIA DIGNITATUM. To make very good reskin need to offer most important legio comitatenses, such as Septimani Seniores that in this mod are simple limitanei! No, very bad.

Yeah just the reskins as a standalone mod thanks mate

Great mod! I don't have any problems with the skins and I don't have any of the dlcs. Keep up the good work!

I think it is one of the skins in the last roman dlc.
