37 Is okayish i guess but it's twice as much as the current state. 100 however is 5 times more which would be a bit more problematic in the long run... Nothing compared to the 300+ on the ships but still... @wraitii @vladislavbelov can we make something to not doom the next alpha for low end computers ?

Very nice armor BTW

Note; the spartan aspis have a more orange/redish look following the old texture, athenian bronze shields follows the same helmet tone.

@Nescio let me know if want the greaves for your mod.

Changing the sun position really helps to see... and i always thought it was the color being baddly baked, but is just illumination.

I would do this:

Basic: No greaves

Advanced: Greave on left leg only

Elite: Greaves on both legs

For Romans.

Ideally we need true lods (multiple meshes per model) and lod materials for that.

The greaves look nice, but I wonder if they are truly needed.

As @Nescio pointed wearing two greaves was just for show off, most of them use 1 for the frontal leg:

our meshes in the current state don't support asimmetrical textures.:

Plus normal maps:

Will you go thru all the unit textures and replace the leg textures? Just curious how far you're wanting to go lol

Yeah, having them over the bronze texture doesn't really help, any good legs textures i can rehuse for all?

En la sección de arte de la wika puedes encontrar un zip con varias texturas de varias etnias

So is this project green-lit and good to go?

Well @wraitii's solution extended to actors with old meshes rigged the the new armature could be good enough for now.

Getting rid of the blood lag too.

IMHO this is nice but the cost is too big. All those textures to edit, the actor files, the performance cost. Maybe doing something else would be more productive Like I don't know... Animating Micket's models.
