Hey I noticed the German spear warband is changed to not be a phalanx? I think this is a serious issue as it completely destroys the balance. the germans do not have a realiable hold the line unit.

this mod when i enabled it when im loading into a battle it takes like 10 minutes and even crashes

Any explanations?

wish there was a submod that makes this compatible with hold the line.

Awesome mod, i wish i could use it with Vanilla Plus mod, any chance for a compatibility patch?

Good day! I wanted to tell you that your mod is still relevant. The RIS team has been in a stupor for almost a year now, and is moving very slowly. I think that your mod will be relevant, even if they completely finish their mod, because not everyone needs such a detailed mod, someone will be satisfied with an expanded map and new units. Maybe you can continue and make units, for example, from those nations that RIS will probably only reach in 2 years. For example, the Britons, Scythians or Spain?

This is a fantastic mod very well made thank you! Just wish there was a submod that made Egypt Hellenic.

Amazing mod!!! great job!

Love the mod, noticed a problem though, for whatever reason the German spearman have been changed from a phalanx unit into a normal spearman unit. Was this intentional?

It would be cool if you could remove the blue and black paint from the Gallic and other barbarians except for the Britons and perhaps the night raiders. Also, it would be nice to see some tunics mixed in and so forth. Otherwise, it all looks great.

Does this mod work for Alexander?

What a great idea, keep doing

This mod is perfect! I've never seen such an incredible and vanilla mod, and it fixes what bothered me most about the original Rome: the blue, green and purple Romans (I think the red ones are fine, but your skins portray the Romans in a much more historical way)

The problem with updating this mod is that it would probably take just one update from the RIS mod to make it all completely superfluous. I mean, I've learned A LOT about modding since I made this mod and the BI version, and an update would probably be night and day in terms of quality - but still nowhere close to RIS. It's not just RIS, either, because I'm sure there are other very talented mod teams lurking out there ready to release something special for this game, which includes unit variation. I don't know, I have to think on it. If I did make changes it would primarily involve porting over various models from Rome 2 like shields, weapons, helmets and armour and basically make hybrid units using both RR assets and those from Rome 2. I already know how to do all of this so it wouldn't be an issue on that front. The issue is time spent, and if it is worth it in the end. That's the dilemma.

@Dux I appreciate all the work you've put into this mod because the final result is damn good! This is what I was looking for. I hope you will find the time to update it as there is always room for improvements. Also I am curious what changes would you bring us.

@DexOrion53 I've just uploaded a simple add-on to this mod which now includes officers and standard bearers to most units in the game. It should be visible on the workshop within the hour. As for having a more sophisticated mod with officers including variation - I might just do that. Reviewing this mod while I was adding officers made me realise I want to make some upgrades. I can't promise anything, though. It all depends if I can find the time.

@Dux I hope one day you can get this mod to work alongside the officers mod since that would complete it to have every unit have both complete variation and a officer of their own, maybe even with Variation as well.

This mod is not compatible with the "officers" mod sadly...

Fantastic mod, can't play vanilla without it. Have discovered a small bug however, German warband has phalanx disabled, which I believe is a feature from your other mod.

Scratch that i saw the answer on a previous comment.Cheers!

Awesome work....any chance we get a compatability patch for danymok's mod? Cheers!

@Dux Changing the Unit Color Scheme to realistic seems to have fixed the issue, at least in custom battles, I don't really want to test more now, as it's late. If I don't post anymore, then it's all working great and I really enjoy the mod. Happy new year.

@Pumciusz I haven't been able to reproduce that bug while testing. I'm on 1080p myself with a fairly old monitor, as well as ultra settings on units, but I can't say I've seen any flickering.

I've just released the final update of the mod; try it and see if it's fixed the problem. If it hasn't - I don't know what might be causing it.

@Dux Pretty much every hoplite unit other than milita hoplite, and some random ones like Parthian archers.

@Pumciusz Is it every unit or just some specific ones?

There's flickering on units(greek and macedonian) in custom battles while moving the camera. Haven't checked in campaign as mod didn't apply on already created one Works in campaign, but still flickers. 1440p, ultra/high settings with vsync off. I had mods that could do stuff in battles, but I disabled them and it still was a thing. 6750xt with newest drives, and in campaign without the mod it doesn't happen.
But they do look great in stills.

Maybe is too much to ask but could be possible to reskin some egyptian units into greek style? Maybe as a submod or something. Great work mate.

Hi Dux!
I just finished merging my Rome Rerostered V2 mod with your work and uploaded it to the workshop.
I made sure to give you credit and link back, I really appreciate your work.
If you will ever release a Barbarian Invasion version then that would be totally awesome!
Keep up the good work!

Yeah, this will be the final update. I'm basically cleaning the mod of bugs and other oversights.

Hey, so you're confident this is the final update? I plan on doing a big change to the export_descr_unit file, and upping defence and morale across the board to make battles longer and more tactical, but don't really want to go to all that effort just for an update to break it. Cheers, and great work on the units. Vanilla friendly while solving the clone army issue.

Hoping for a Barbarian Invasion one

@Dux How do I make the units randomize but only one type at a time? To kind have a middle ground between immersion and continuity.

Well, after I'm done tinkering with this mod - which hopefully will be done before the year is out - the plan is to start working on a BI version.

Dude, this is impressive! Do you know of any such project for BI?

Oh and by the way, if anyone spots any visual bugs or other strange things while playing, please let me know.

Thanks for the update Dux!

Okay, the update is out and this will be my final substantial update for this mod, I think. Any update from now on will be bug fixes - if there are any to be fixed. I never intended this mod to be anything other than a distraction until more serious mods come out or RIS reaches a more complete state.

Well, even with the updated assets, there's still the awful animations, but, i suppose that's something folks just have to bear. Unless another hero swoops in to save the day

@Mongol The Unwise thank you, it means a lot to hear that. My planned update of the mod will probably come out in the next couple of days.

To the dev of the mod, i say, thank you. I was very dissapointed when the remaster came out, and all the troops looked like clones, save for the bodies and heads. I was really hoping that they would've chnaged that, but now you have fixed that blatant issue. Thank you

Hey Ho! Great improvements here! Units looking so much better and colourfull now - leave you some clapping hands + regards

Hi Dux,

Thank you for your reply and great to hear this!
Good to know you are working on a sizable update, so I'll keep track of your mod page for updates.
Once I have some time myself for modding, I'd probably be looking into merging your content into my Total Rebalance mod, it's a very nice addition, of course credits and a link back will be given.

Thanks for your work, keep it up!

I don't really mind others using my mod as long as it is credited. Although I should point out that I'm currently working on a sizable update that includes model variation within the same unit and some other things.

@JonkoXL you dont allow others to use your code so why should he allow you

Great and very impressive work, Dux!
This is such a great and welcome improvement!

As a mod creator (|Total Rebalance) myself, I'd like to ask:
Would you allow other modders to use your work from this mod in their mod(s)?
(I.e. include your Unit Texture Variations into their mods?)
Of course with proper credits given :)

@GG You don't have access to Total War ROME REMASTERED\Contents\Resources\Data in your Steam game folder?

does anyone know how to mod the Steam Version of the game IE the downloaded version. Theres no folders to mod. It'd be nice to mod export_descr_unit

this is looking awesome! keep it coming

First I would have to get permission from the mod author and then start modding every individual new unit in the same way I've done before to make it seamless. However, it would only impact the Danymok's base mod. None of the extra mods or add-ons for Danymok's Expanded Rosters would be compatible because my mod and Danymok's have radically different text files.

Ok, keep the good work. Another Question, is posible to make this compatible with Danymok's Rosters Expanded?

@Cell TV There is a way to incorporate different kinds of models in the same unit group, which I only just learned. That means, theoretically, that one could use the different styles of hoplite helmets already available in the game for one hoplite unit. I'm still bit of a noob when it comes to modding, however. This is the first mod that I've made - for any game - so I'm still very much in the learning stage.
