Sorry for the long wait, but here are the first sketches!
A mix of the city stadium statue (left) and Wikimedia bust (right) with the model already in-game.
First image was uploaded at night so yellow lamp was used. (Edit) The second one is the same but uploaded during the day.
If you want more whiteness, could re-upload in the daytime.Feel free to use these in your editing programs. Do you need more sketches of King Leonidas, or how about other heroes (Brasidas, Agis IV, etc.)?-

Game crashed again with no dialog box tonight 8:22 PM PDT. Only the interestinglog and system info files are close to that time (almost 4 hours of opening the game at 4:43 PM). The crashlog is not recent.
-
Just another crash today, same with previous post: no dialog box opened, forced closed.
-
@Stan`: other than the lack of snakes and studs on the rim, nice try on the re-texture. Hope someone can do better.
-
All right, here's the situation, @wowgetoffyourcellphone:
1. Currently the Leonidas hero portrait mixes Butler's face and helmet (in the film) with the accurate traverse crest not extended to the shoulders. If the 300 Leonidas actor is to remain (for example, as a scenario asset), the helmet's crest position should be fixed. That can be the new spart_hero_leonidas_300.png.
2. For the proposed new portrait, the Spartan helmet extending to the chin (from the statues and the one from the Spartan bust) will be used; totally different from the hoplite helmets which extends to the neck.
Other than that, expect a sketch from me in probably a few days.

The remade aspides look great. The arrow curtains (that you so called shield capes) remake would be an interesting addition since it would require to be animated.
Suggest that the Spartan hero shield (Leonidas) to be re-textured to match the statues in Thermopylae and near the city stadium in Sparta:
-
That Spartan helmet (name?) is different from the Athenian hoplite helmet already in the game? I see.
Will make one in a few days or more since currently on classes.
-
Just checked some other threads. With the current Alpha 24 models in hand, the remade hoplite helmet (preferably the last guy in the yellow teamcolor) would be close to what is expected from the statues:
The only re-textures needed are the dots between the crests of the zigzag (holder for horsehair) and that deerlike(?) carving on the cheek.
If the Butler actor and portrait are to be kept, the hero helmet should be replaced with the helmet as seen in the film (suggest that the horsehair remain black instead of teamcolor, the latter reserved for the cloak and optionally another part of the helmet).
Would be happy if you want sketches to help with the hero portrait improvements.
-
Isn’t the Leonidas portrait still using Butler’s face in the film 300? Atlas still has that barechested actor. No offense to a game striving for historical realism.
Would also want to suggest a change to the helmet (in the portrait and actor) since it does not match the Leonidas statues. Or if there are passages from historians that the king wore a helmet like that as in the portrait/actor. The shield as well, based on the Medusa texture on one of the already-made Hoplite shields (aspis).
Thermopylae monument (could not find one with a better close-up of the head and face):

This thread was an interesting read for me. Now that the Mausoleum is out of the way, what is the plan now? From the earlier posts, the decisions are either the palace at Pella or the tomb at Amphipolis.
-
Before registering on this Forum, had to see some interesting threads such as this one. Has work already been done on garrisoning troops into elephants or chariots (Hyrule Conquest already had such a function mounting a pair of archers into a chariot, what faction was that?). That would add an Archer champion to the Seleucid list. It would be interesting to see pikemen on the walls.
@Nescio, you said there are 3 champions (2 extra because of an upgrade) for this faction but someone said it does not historically make sense because the chariots augment the pike formations (frontline) and cavalry (hammer and anvil). borg-'s mod removed the Traditional/Reform upgrade so all four can be recruited, but will the upgrade choices be removed on future releases?
-
Got them. Turned the overlay on in-game, when I got back to the main menu (after a game or crash), it is still there. My only concern was that the clock (or even the frames per second counter) may not appeal to the eyes appreciating the menu art. Suggest putting them somewhere else (still on the menu like within the menu bar with the buttons), but during a game they can stay there?
-
Another game crash today. This time it forced closed without a dialog box being opened. That's it.
Another crash (no crashlog or crashdump again), this time the application stopped responding and had to force close it manually. This is what happened: commands.txt
-
Had to pause the game for breaks, now it's not responding. Forced closed the program. Good thing the savefile lets me continue.
@Stan`: there was only the crashlog.txt, the dump is not on the logs folder. Thanks once again!
-
@Nescio: it's the shortcut for enabling/disabling Realtime Overlay on the main menu, doesn't help much but it helps. Think this is a bug?

17 hours ago, Stan` said:
What map size? AI ?
@Stan`: Random, "Unknown", Desert biome, Normal size, Me and four AI Petra-Bots (all medium). It was all land with no body of water. Still hanging on the dialog box with the code.
Update: Got a BSOD with "DPC watchdog violation" while *still* hanging on to the dialog box and restarted by itself. Did install Standard SATA ACHI Controller instead of latest Intel® 6th Generation Core Processor Family Platform I/O SATA ACHI Controller and restarted. Finally ran a CHKDSK /F /R. Let me see if the blue screen and/or game crash still persists. Good thing saving my game helped return to my progress!

I was in the middle of a successful Random game when the window restored down and this happened:
Program Error
Function call failed: return value was -100033 (Not enough memory) Location: shared_ptr.h:70 (AllocateAligned) Call stack: 009EEE8F 009F328D 008DAAAB 008D92F8 008D3576 008D34B1 008B2362 008B2029 008780D2 00786E54 007896C8 0078B403 00781035 007810C4 00A3AB61 009EE02F 74AA6359 77307B74 77307B44 errno = 13 (Not enough memory) OS error = 8 (Not enough memory resources are available to process this command.)
On a Dell Inspiron 5559 with an 8.00GB RAM and Intel Core i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.40GHz x64 processor. Already had the GLSL and post-processing disabled (based from the other threads), what else?
Did not press any five buttons below the code (Copy, Continue, Suppress, Break, Exit), still hanging here waiting for someone to reply. Thanks!

Was starting a Random game, went to the in-game Settings to enable the Realtime Overlay, crashed with a BSOD "DPC watchdog violation" in the middle of my successful game. When re-opening the game, the main menu has the Realtime Overlay clock in the menu. Tried turning it off and back on in the menu settings but it still comes back. There will be a short update post for when it goes away after a game without a crash.
The random game in question:
Chevrons and promotion
in Delenda Est
Posted · Edited by Carltonus
Basically, all units with chevrons should be the ones that can promote after some number of experience points. Imperial centurion should have a star instead of three chevrons as their icon. Edit: Centurion and other commander-related units.
The scouts, mercenaries, and a few other units (with icons but do not promote) should have their chevrons removed or must have the ability to promote. If the scouts can be promoted, they could be like the Athenian hippeus or other mounted swordsmen.
