wahey that works. thanks for the help.
Here are some soldiers. Credit goes to Lynores(HOWEVER HIS MODELS WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THIS MOD UNTIL PERMISSION IS GRANTED), Llew and Gothic Knight for their splendid models.
Featured: Gallic Chosen Swordsmen, Hastati, Principes, Triarii and Greek Armoured Hoplite
Tell me what you think

Give the Principes and Triarii Hamata. I'll eventually be making either an Etrusco-Corinthian for Triarii or Montefortino for Principes/Hastatii along with another item I finished that the Romans can also use. My update for my OSP will be bigger than the last one.

Have added cavalry and archers to Rome.
That means Rome and Gaul are complete. Am going to finish off Greeks and come up with something for Etruscans etc. (but have limited models for those factions) and will then release first version.
oh yh Gothic Knight: You're right hamata is more principes etc. armour but i gave hamata to archers and cavalry and want there to be differences from infantry (plus i just want to use the armor as its great). unless you have another idea for what the archers and cavalry should wear? (i'm not too sure, or do you think it would be better to give them all the hamata?)
also can someone help me out, how do you make new banners?

Roman Equites wore breastplates, linothorax, and lorica hamatas. As for Roman archers, I don't think there were any dedicated Roman archer auxilia until later on, and they used hamata/squamata.
Lorica means armor. Hamata and Squamata are the right ones. For now, try giving the archer a copper helmet, and squamata. You don't have any Early or Republican Era helmets at all so there's your problem.

What are you planning, actually? At least the approximate list of features?
If you really want to make your mod "roman", you know, just renaming lords to legates and kings to counsils wouldn't help, so there is going to be a LOT of coding or it will be another medieval mod on the appenine map. Actually i believe 1/4 or even more of the native code has to be totally reworked - just if you're planning to get rid of "lords", "vassals", "fiefs", and to implement magistrates (most of whitch had nothing to do with combat). And that is not really enough i beleave: in early Rome setting you can't allow a player to get a personal army able to conquer the City just because he has renown over9000, can't let him to just "recruit" soldiers whenever and wherever he wishes to. To make the mod become "roman" you'll need some legal system, an ability to enforce laws. To make it feel like early roman, you'll have to remember about plebis fighting for their freedoms and their lands: that is - slaughterings on the Forum to make plebis forget about this stupid tribunes or plebean counsils ideas, recruitment refusals, and so on. And so on. Etc.
And that's almost a new game (well, actually no one says you have to implement all you want at the first release - actually renaming lords to legates and repainting textures is enough for pre-release at least). So, if you're planning at least the half of those things or similar, i'be willing to help in coding. For the less Hegemony is enough, if you ask me. Wish you good luck anyway, M&B needs more roman mods, and your idea is great, really.
