@Benjin

Great, thanks for the update! Appreciate all the amazing work you put into these mods

Thanks Benjin!

@Arlen84
Yep, it only changes general appearances in a non-destructive way.

Hi, is this mod compatible with Para Bellum?

ah FFS ... im at 36 .... crap

@Zomb3y
Hey there, the issues you're describing sound exactly like the dreaded 35 mod limit. Once you enable more than 35 mods - no matter what aspect of the game they affect - random models and textures fail to load.

Just loaded this mod together with DEI. No other retexture/character appearance mods loaded. I love the new faces and gear, especially the female models are a vast improvement compared to vanilla ... but theres a major bug happening for me that makes me unload it again.

It for some reason deletes several characters models. None of my Governors and Veteran Champions have a body/face model anymore and also in battles I see alot of empty armour running around both in my armies (especially unit leaders and standard bearers) and the enemies armies. Both officer models aswell as normal soldiers missing faces or their whole body with only their armour and helmet running around. Its not every soldier but its enough to be noticeable like 10% or so. Also noticed that some Officer and especial naval/marine soldiers have broken shield textures. Either full on white texture or a large white square the size of the late imperial roman shields on the Polybian and Marian shields.

100k sottoscrizioni per questa mod, sarebbe bello sistemarla e ampliarla

That's what I plan to do for the Easterns very soon, I already have the Arabs done and very soon the Nabataeans. Once I get the Parthians/Persians done, I can release it (wouldn't make sense not to have them at least to fill out the generic Eastern general variations for the likes of Armenia etc).

If it will take some time to finish the rest of the Barbarian/Eastern cultures, could we get a partial or beta release of either mod with just a few cultures for now that are already finished or almost finished?

My generals are missing arms/torso send help

puke

im talking whit youre father

@Spica
Not unless someone creates more heads for me, I think there's currently plenty of variation - there are over 20 heads and an additional 20 old age ones compared to vanilla's 5-8.

is it possible for you to add more variety of the generic generals lol, i can hardly remember who is who in later campaigns cuz they all look the same reusing the same 5 portraits or so lol, dont get me wrong, vanilla was soooo bad

Not compatible also like comparing a mini to a sports car

so i think its not work togheter whit this mod right? Better Looking Generals Compilation

Hi @Benjin glad to hear you still have plans to update this mod, its one of the main reasons I have nearly 5000 hours in haha and DEI also congratulations on the wedding I was just wondering ive been trying to find an appropriate head model using save parser for one of my Roman generals but Id like to use the one you made of your dad so IDK if you know which head model portrait such as Rom_General_30 it is but it would really help me out, thanks mate

I knwo im late buy congratulations i hope you and your wife will keep happy

@Gladiator
You've gone over the mod limit. If you go over 35 enabled mods, vanilla-related assets will start to disappear.

@Tugeris'
They still work fine and I have no idea why the AAA mods would be crashing your game. Only reason why I said I'll be updating them is in relation to changing their appearances, not their functionality - that all should still work.

@bondiboi12
Yes.

does this still work ?

are theres mod outdated? all 3 mods of the same type crash my game, sometimes works to play and sometimes dont. like if i try to enter a battle against etrucan league game crash..

I have missing arms on campaign generals too

Wish the man congratulations on his marriage instead of begging for updates and we may get one

@daanapeymaan
I've been busy, sometimes IRL gets in the way. I'm still working on it.

It's been years since we've been waiting for the AAA cover of the barbarian/Iranian factions lol

@Hoopla + @BigGun
Yes and yes.

Is this savegame compatible?

Compatible with Legendary Empires HD?

@Benjin Nice!

I have missing arms on my generals... Anyone experiencing the same thing?

Thanks for the update @Benjin and congratulations!

Hey everyone, I've been on a break for around 6 months as I was getting married earlier this month and also had to focus on my real life job. I'm starting to get more free time recently which I can dedicate to updating and breathing some new life into AAA and also maybe bring to other TW games (e.g. Pharaoh - I did a lot of new bronze age 3D assets for the R2 total conversion mod "Age of Bronze" which could be used there).

Over the past year and a half, I've been in contact with a lot of fellow 3D artists making some top of the line assets - stuff I've been wanting and can do myself, but just haven't had the time for (making entirely new assets for a whole new culture is daunting work for just one person) - who have agreed to share with me some of their assets to get all existing and yet unreleased AAA mods finished for Rome 2 to cover all the cultures on the Grand Campaign. Expect to see some major progress and some well deserved updates to these mods in the near future.

@vandamsel @Arlie It’s been a while since I’ve played. But I remember there being a cap to how many mods you can have running at once. If I remember correctly, that number was 35. If you have more than that, the character models disappear and leave only the armor.

Hope this helps.

@Vandamsel currently I've been testing and random mods like (Better veterans, HD towns, More levies, TRUE BRONZE ALPHA, etc) have been causing ONLY the AAA Romans mod too lose Arms & legs on the campaign map for generals. Super random.. and game mechanics like those I feel are more important... super annoying

Why some generals get laurel leaves...for me its annoying...i much more like helmets.
All in all superb mod!!!!!

Not sure what's going on by one day my roman generals suddenly have no arms when using this mod. I've always loaded your mods at the top of the list and had no issues.

I totally agree. Have you realized something odd? The northern barbarians are mostly depicted fighting shirtless, while in COLD-WINTER climate, I have no idea if the producers and modders (who keep doing the same mistakes) have an idea of how cold it can be for a shirtless warrior to be in cold regions of northern Europe, its hypothermia, around 15 positive its already quite cold , imagine with snow.
The southern barbarians like the Iberians should be the ones to be fighting more shirtless, it is warm, the sun makes you sweat and you want to show muscles and bravery and the fun part is: no hypothermia!.
Please add more realism and reskin the Iberians as real warrior tribesmen (torso exposed, warpaint on chest etc)

Honestly man it's really nice the way you rendered your dad into the game. I was just looking for nice little mods that enhance the vanilla experience and this was already a great choice, but that little bit is so delightful that I had to download immediately.

I can only assume your dad is in some way responsible for your passion for this topic/game, and thus I salute your lovely attempt to honor the man. Good on ya.

I love that the thumbnail is based on your Dad! What a way to immortalize your real life hero :)

I see. Thanks for replying. I will do some more testing. Good to know I can continue using your excellent mod.

@Mitth'raw'nuruodo
Not to do with this mod, this just changes visuals. None of the TPY databases are affected. I got similar reports in the past and the culprit wasn't with this one.

Regardkess, great work. The characters look much more distinct with this mod.

I am not sure but it seems this messes with 4 turns per year or similar mods. Generals continue aging at 1 year per turn instead of 1/4th (how it should be in 4TPY mod).

Wonderful mod, thanks a lot man!
I've been using it for a while now with Parabellum, but unfortunately as soon as I switched to DEI the game crashes just before finishing to load into a campaign if I enable the AAA Generals. Everything else works fine together. No idea what the problem is, but still great mod ^^

Love this mod and the idea. Only issue is that the Romans are too white lol definitely would be more tan, like in DEI. I think the DEI visual's are better and more diverse, but I love this idea of aging and rank progression.

Please do Barbarians !!!

Does this apply to AI factions?

because the generals still look like they were from the republic era.

at least for the emperor. I don't know if it's possible to modify just for him
