New idea for mod: early Rome

I like the idea of a general's bodyguard. Might be good to make it exclusive from the main troop tree, like recruiting it separately.

They have good units for that mod, will see if i can use them as a template although i am limited with the models i have been supplied with as i am not a modeller, but the models i do have are good.

Will still prob keep it simple for the first release though.

-----

I know there has been a big gap here from march to may but exams etc argh.
Last one on wednesday and then freedom! So i hope to continue with this towards the end of the week.

I have now released the first version. Will be beta for now as have not checked through fully yet but there should not be any problems. Download link: http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=2964

This is just the basic stuff will put more later, feedback wellcome.

Thanks to GothicKnight, Llew, Lynores, Faradon, Spak, IYIORT and Yoman for their splendid models.
[Lynores' items are in this mod subject to his granting me permission as I have not heard from him for a long time]

Current plans for next release:
- add more equipment for Greek armoured hoplites
- stronger spears for hoplites
- Arch3r's bridge battles
- roaming parties e.g. Thracians
- edit companions
please suggest anything else I could put in!




I have 2 questions myself, first, should I make a new page in the released mods part? second, can someone tell me where is the best place to upgrade my Warband from 1.131 to 1.134 and what the changes are? many thanks.

Not sure Thracians should be wandering about the Italic Peninsula. If you're going from the start of the 4th century onward then you could work with Gauls in place of it, since the migrations/invasions that swept through the Po and ended up with the sacking of Rome were all about.

I know they dont fit, but I have some nice Thracian equipment available. Also, the focus is currently not just Rome, due to the lack of Italian models

although i like your idea, will see about putting in some roaming gallic warbands

Hello Tsubodai,

I'm fluent in Latin and I'm writing a Phd in Roman things. If you need something in Latin just ask me. And if you are willing to assemble a team and a this mod as awesome as Prophesy of Pendor, you can also count me in for historical info or as writer, or something.

In all, good luck with your mod!

Thanks saerossaeros. I do hope to assemble a team and will be most grateful to have your help. I only hope to be able to make this mod as good as Prophecy of Pendor, that will definitely be difficult, for that is one awesome mod.
I do have one request for you, as you may have noticed I have mostly just used random names for the Roman consuls/praetors etc. but if you could get me names of some historical characters from roughly the time when Rome deposed its monarchy and was in the early republic, that would be great.

Hello,

Yes, it'd be nice to have a second PoP

Praetors are more difficult, I don't know if I can find them.

If you want something for lore, you could also use Livy's original lorebook

etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=Liv1His.sgm&images=images/modeng&data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&tag=public&part=all

About Latin words, I would reccomend to change all letters /v/ to /u/ , as well as all /j/ to /i/, because that was how it was pronounced at that time (it changed only in the late empire), but it's your choice.

This is great! Thanks very much.

uhhh
