Syracusans or Pergamenes or Rhodians would be cool.

Yeah, I see there is no jav cav shield base variant. Hmm base_javelin_relax base_javelin_fast are the only 2 options. Hmm

Wave = spina.

I think the animation isn't quite right. Other "aspis" cavalry animations don't have this clipping.

Not sure what they're called in game, but they can be seen in Atlas if you want to take a look. Go to Actors and filter "helmet"

I figured giving them Greco-Italian helmet types would drive home the Tarantine origin, but in truth they'd probably wear the helmet types that prevailed in the respective states in which they served.

Yes. Tarantine Cavalry are skirmish cav who use shields (while other skirmish cavalry types didn't use shields). First adopted by the Greek city of Taras (Tarentum), and then quickly adopted by other Hellenistic states.

As you can see the standard aspis clips through their arms, unfortunately.

No, it just means I have an actor available if WFG wishes to use it. Lol

Is that a real problem? The AI names generally mean nothing (though, I have a proposal to make them mean something, but that's a different thread). Seems like the minimum number should probably be 8, just in case someone wants to watch 8 Persian AIs fight, as an example.

No, only a few instances of Spartan women rising to the occasion to defend the homeland. For instance, after the Spartan army was defeated by Pyrrhus of Epirus, the defeated Spartan men rested that night while the Spartan women built a palisade around the city to fend off Pyrrhus' army the next day.

I mean, it wouldn't be a huge deal to just remove 3 ai names per civ. They have plenty others.

I think the really wide one could be reduced in size, agreed. Though, don't the gatherers cast a silhouette?

It's in public mod though?

They have a good mix of citizen soldiers and mercenaries, plus War Elephants. Kind of like a mix between Ptolemies and Macedonians. Republican Romans are based on the Punic Wars era (aka "Polybian era"), during the 3rd and 2nd century BC. The Imperial Romans are based on the high imperial era of the 1st and 2nd century AD.

I suppose it doesn't matter, but it seems weird that your enemy's name is Seleucus the Cowardly, while at the same time you're training him as a hero.

Did you like the new random civ options?

She could look a little like Athena. Maybe that could be her upgrade. Capture a factional merc camp. Spartans get Cretan Archers.

Better take this one out, since it's already the name of a hero.

Yeah I moved auras to their respective folders, something the base game did many months ago. Still tracking down the onesies and twosies bugs. Sane with elephant Stables. Renamed the files to match the core game's naming convention, but I haven't squished the bugs yet.

Check out the ones in the Delenda Est mod. They might be useful or applicable. Many of them don't use the new terrains and trees though, so I might have to update DE's as well.
