SP Antiquity [WB] Roman Imperial

[SirMaltier]

Now, I know what your thinking. Another Roman mod, who cares? Well this mod is going to eventually will be a game much like Rome Total war. That is the goal, to make a strategic 1st/3rd person battle mode to simulate the strategy, and to give the player a realistic representation of how to lead a roman war machine. This mod shall start in early republic, and last until around 600 AD.

Good luck and all that, but rule no.1 of modding is that you should never give a release date. Especially if it's less than a month from now and you haven't got anything to show for it. People aren't going to support you if there's no models or actual content you've created yourself and can show in screenshots.

 

[SirMaltier]

Actually the Roman Troop basics are done, just have to add a bit more. Most of them are done, and I'll be uploading screen shots shortly.

As for the release date I was really hesitant about adding it, so I'll take that down.

And thanks for the good luck

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

It looks like this is going to be yet another "roman" mod using Llews models/textures, renaming the troops and that's about it. No one is interested.

You don't have to put down everyone who's starting modding, we were all at this point once. And who's to say nobody will be interested? Have you performed a census?

 

[Gothic Knight]

I await your mod with intense anticipation!

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

Get off the hater train dude.

All of our units will be using new equipment, skill sets, and after the Alpha models and textures. Even though it may "look" like it's just going to be the same of everything, after the release it will look much like a hybrid of Rome Total war, and mount and blade requiring city management, and army management, along with ability to take command of the armies, and crush your enemies. The only thing we may take from an OSP is auto resolve enchantments, after that I will work on our own map, cities, units, models, and everything else this mod needs to be successful.

Good luck !

So from what I'm gathering: You're remaking Rome II on the Warband engine? With all brand new equipment? With no team? Ignoring any kind of historical boundaries?

Well no not at all.

I simply used the term rome total war as something that you can compare it to, it will still be much different than rome total war, I'm simply borrowing a few of the ideas that they have, and still those ideas are going to be heavily modified.

Thanks for the good luck! As everyone can probably tell this is the first mod I'm making. Hopefully it's not the last either.

Good luck...
So what are you working on first? Will you be making a new map?

requiring city management, and army management, along with ability to take command of the armies, and crush your enemies.

How is that different than Native? All of those things already exist.

 

[SirMaltier]

Well the first thing is to add more units, along with converting 4 of the factions to roman era factions. the other two in native will be converted later, and after that then I shall personally start working on the map.

but if someone is willing to work on the new map before that, then I'd be more than happy to get that into the mod earlier.

With the new city management options there will be a lot more options to build, *as long as I can figure it out* such as temples that raise your relations with the city, market places to encourage trade, improved walls, and more.


With the army management new options, there will be more of an ability to ration your food, do wargames to improve your camp happiness, doing parades to improve town relations, and soldier relations, and more.

There will also be new features in commanding your units, such as building of field fortifications, formations, and possibly ability to call in catapult attacks, and ballast attacks from outside.


I'm going to have to take a long look at the code for some of the more complex features, so they may not be put in.

Here is the link to what will be the unit that the Roman faction will have.

Just finished the coding for the roman main infantry, just need to do auxiliary units, and I'll upload some screenshots of the new units, all of them are completely customized featuring different equipment(from native), names,weapon proficiencies, and skills. Before the final release they will also get new models.

That would be really great! If you wouldn't mind doing it, then I would put your name in credits of course!
