DEI version? Please? This is gorgeous

can you make this for dei? looks pretty but i dont play vanilla camping for years xd also a lot of ppl plays whit dei

Great skins, but in order to keep historic fidelity I must say ancient cavalry never used infantry shields at all, only small round shields in some units. Rome 2 deserve more accurate depictions.

My work on the all vanilla re-skin continues! My work schedule slows things down significantly, but know that it's still a priority!

This looks cool. It's possible to make an 'all in one' version, featuring every faction? I have a vague memory about a huge reskin pack, 1+ gb and etc... But I forgot the name =/ Or if you can recommend more reskins, that would be appreciated. I tried to search around, but there's only roman reskins. From that pack, the author even reskineed the naked gaul units, lol

Naja ok thanks for the info. Btw this reskin looking great too. Btw why can only use a reskin mod not the mod that i like from all and all the other reskin mods CTD the game. I always unchek all of the mod that i have and try with the other.!??? Again i play with 17 patch not the new one.!???

This mod is no longer supported. I'm working (ever so slowly) on a complete re-skin/re-texture for all of RTW 2. It will incorporate a total re-do of the Roman faction too. They look even better in the new mod than this old one. ;-)

Hello. I have problem with this mod because it says that is for an older version of the game.!? Btw I play with patch 17 and the other problem is that I can only use just one mod reskin for Romans and all of the other I have CTD..!

not correct DEI for!

can you cooperate with the divide et impera team and make a reskin for their units as well ? that whould be much appreciated . your reskin is much much better looking than theirs .

@Naja could you add some diversity to the veteran units (First Cohort, Evocati, Eagle, etc) such as cloaks or accessories? As they are all identical to the regular legionaries. Great mod though, best Roman one around :)

0k .. thanks Naja ... :)

Because in Divide et Impera, there are unique legionary units. This mod keeps the generic Legionary Cohort, etc.

I use the divide et impera mod, but when I instal this mod, the units in the game stays the same. Any suggestions what to do?

Sounds exciting, looking forward to see what you do with carthage.

That's the point, Drake. I made them into generic, all-purpose archer auxilia. Just a personal taste.

FYI, this mod is prettymuch abandoned. I am working on an entirely new mod to re-skin and re-color every RTW2 unit. Very ambitious! It will be called Imago Verum.

Actually there is 1 update needed, when you reskinned the syrian archers you forgot to tag the auxilla resource required for them, so they are recruitable anywhere.

Just a reskin, no update needed.

please update this thanks!

i love this mod

Naja please update this wonderful mod :(

update please

Naja please update this mod i like this reskin

needs updating

Last thing, I know that this is possible (other modders have done it) - could you give auxiliary units faces from different cultures? - since they were recruited from non-Roman-citizens they should have different facial features to reflect this (German, African, Punic, Desert Nomadic, Eastern, Greek): in addition to this, could you give Auxiliary Syrian Archers the helmets that normal Syrian Archers use - they should still wear Roman lorica hamata, but Trajan's Column shows that they did wear "Eastern" helmets (that the normal Syrian Archers wear). Keep up the good work!

I've been looking for a Roman reskin mod to use for a long time, and I shall be using this from now on! I think, however, that you should make legionary and auxiliary cavalry look more different from each other; they do have different shield designs, but I think legionary cavalry should have more armor (they currently use same armor designs - maybe give legionary cavalry lorica segmentata among their armor, and have them only use steel helmets as opposed to auxiliary cavalry, who might only use bronze helmets). I also think that Praetorian Guard should look more distinct; they do have their distinct helmets, but maybe you should give them all lorica segmentata and red capes (not purple!).

can you please label the pictures
Spent a while trying to figure out with post marian unit was which

I'm...I'm afraid. :( lol :D Will do next time I actually play. ^^

Not sure. Why don't you try it out and see?

Question: Can I install Kaziels new republican units together with your mod and load your mod second? So I get his republicans but your units for the imperial era? Thanks in advance.

Big update. You should notice special officers for Polybian-era units, new shields for Signifers, and now Syrian Auxilia Archers all automatically look like Roman Sagitarii.

Thx for update

Okay, thanks for the info.

I believe so. It will probably just affect the Romans' coloring.

Will it colide with the "Ancient Colors" mod?

Aaaaand one more update. I noticed some bugginess with unit coloring, so I made sure to include a file that ensures that your Romans will look dapper dark red. Also affects all the other DLC campaigns (Gaul, Punic, Imperator Augustus).

Thanks for the update. :)

Well, I experimented with the braccae and segmentata on auxilia, and both looked rather lame unfortunately.

However! I just completed a pretty substantial update that adds a lot more color diversity on Polybian-era shields, and more diversity for late-Republic/Principate-era shield textures as well.

I think you'll all enjoy this!

Well that's pretty late, isn't it? I guess you'd have to balance gameplay for historical accuracy. Realistically, many players wont even play that long so that the braccae would become historically accurate. With that in mind you might as well go ahead and add it, so that people can enjoy the diversity. ;-)

In this case gameplay should rule over historical accuracy in my honest opinion.

Also, in Adrian Goldsworthy's "The Complete Roman Army," he mentions breeches like braccae having strong evidence from monuments left by Roman soldiers, as well as the Vindolanda tablets, as early as the 1st century AD (so even early Principate).

Braccae were pretty common, especially starting around the mid-Principate (period of the Antonine emperors). Here's a picture of a legionary with them:

Update sounds sweet, I'm still quite early in the game. Looking forward to the new shields. :)

And about the changes...well the former needs sources that mention their widespread use in that era while the latter only needs a few hints I guess. Since only a few auxilias will wear them. ^^

Can you link to any sources or are these book-sources? Thanks in advance.

Also, I'm debating whether to add braccae (legionary trousers) to Principate-era legionary cohorts and auxilia. Additionally, weighing whether I should add a small amount of segmentata armor in auxilia units (historically they likely wore the armor along with the legionaries).

Major update! For some reason, the Emperor Edition bugged out some shield textures. So while tending to this problem, I decided to completely revamp all the Polybian-era shields. Your early Republic-era Roman shields should be significantly more diverse now, with a lot of extra colors thrown in. Enjoy!

Just noticed if you use this mod in the Emperor Editon, all the Roman factions have red sheilds.

What was the second update @ september 17th for?

is it the same colors for all Roman Civil War?

Already updated? Great work!

Thank you! :)

Updated for the Emperor Edition.
