Update #2 (Released 30 July)
This update has brought in a lot of things that now make the mod very near 100% completion (e.g. all heads aging etc). Again, I tried to get as many of the things on the planned changes list from before, but I decided to release what I had rather than leave you guys waiting for another few days. Another patch will be coming very soon.

By the way, if the mod says that it's out of date and you're on Patch 19 (Desert Kingdoms), don't worry - it still works perfectly. The reason it says that is because I updated it while using the Patch 20 beta (Ancestral Update / Rise of the Republic), so the launcher thinks that the mod doesn't work - due to checking the version number it was updated on - when it actually does still work.

Anyway, these are the things I fixed / changed:

Update #2 - Change List
    ADDED
  • Added last 27 remaining generic Roman old head retextures - you can finally see all your Roman generals age over time.
  • Added Lepidus old head retexture along with white hair retexture for his 3D hair.
  • Added Polybian Roman politicians for ranks 8 - 10.
  • Added new "Wolf" helmet front plate (recycled from Varus' Lion TV model) for Marian / Imperial general helmets to further increase helmet front plate variation.
  • Added new "Roman_Hair_02" (Bandana) variant without the bandana, for politician variants.
  • Added Polybian Roman uniform art set designation to Wrath of Sparta campaign (for DeI, which features Rome as a faction in their "Macedonian Wars" campaign replacement).
  • Added a few placeholder hair assets for some generals (more hair will come in the next update - I don't want the Roman generals to be bald, unless they're old).

    REPLACED
  • Replaced the existing rank 3 - 4 cloak ("Lacerna") with an altered version of the new "Italic Cloak" (this asset is coming with the new Rise of the Republic DLC campaign asset library). This altered version of the cloak has been slightly edited by myself to allow for placement on vanilla armours without any clipping issues - the original version would clip through the chest due to the new armours in Rise of the Republic being shorter.
  • Replaced the black shoulder + bottom stripes ("Pteryges") with white ones. In my opinion, they look much better and more closely resemble the artistic depictions of Roman legates than the previous black ones.

    REMOVED
  • Removed the existing placeholder beardless barbarian heads. Gave the Roman generals who used beardless barbarian heads the Roman heads from Attila instead.
  • Removed the placeholder head from Thrones of Britannia for the young version of Rom_General_32. Gave one of the beardless barbarian heads as a better placeholder (for now).

    FIXED
  • Fixed texture bug with the old age variant of Pompey's head.
  • Fixed Roman Cuirass' texture; the white sash parts were supposed to be a burgandy colour.

EDIT: Next update incoming.
