Patroid

Hastati
Preatorian Legionaire,
Early legionaire Cohort

Velites
TownKeeper (sry i forgot in list) weak infantry yust able to hold back slave aztacks
Teamcored legionaire

Well they dont quite look "roman" but if it is histotically correct i dont mind.by the way, there is already a roman archer topic called roman saggitauri opened

Cool. Some of the images don't look quite perfect but I do really like the cohort.

These are great ideas. What will their stats be?

Hi
@Blue...:
What do you mean with:"they dont look roman"???
Wbat is a roman look for u????
@COOLguy:
Well i see that the velites image needs rework,
What else???

Stats: i gonna do a few stats later now im offline for 26 or more hours.


Patroid

Well the velite looks more barbarian while the rest have a lot of persian look(mostly due to the headgear)

I mean, for some reason a lot of them seem proportioned "oddly". I don't mean that they look bad, but they seemed to be shaped differently than the legionnaire, and I think the spears look a little odd - maybe extending the size with an overlap might help.

Also some of the clothes do not seem to be nearly up to your shading standard.
That is why I said it that it didn't look like you had perfected them yet. But that is just what I thought.

I know that Alexander82 will be really happy - he ha been wanting more Roman units for a long time.

Hey,
I was on a party all night but had some time when all was asleep

I fixd the velites a bit!

Patroid

Edit: i made this before i read the posts, so i gonna reshade it soon
(I yust used a already implemented unit of AoS as base so
Ify units are a bit odd (means sth like strange here? ) i have to change the original too!!!)

It was the slinger.

Well patroid what is the animal skin like thing he is wearing? Makes him look barbaric

Google it
Well they wear a wulf on the back.

Easy! .. blue, why bite one of the hands that fed you a game like aos, Patroid has been a big part of this game. Show some Respect

Yes I think the red color could use some of your shading. And that must be what looks a little odd - the slinger's helmet looked a little odd to me. But that part is no big deal in my opinion.

The velite looks much nicer, I think!

PS that's a little funny to say, because to the Persians and Greeks, the Romans were barbaric. And in the later years, the Roman army was composed primarily of German Barbarians.

Well i never said any thing to patroid and do respect him he asked me what i felt wrong and i did just that.he isnt offended. Then why are you?
@patroid- ok so if it is historically correct i have no problem with it
@coolguy- wait, werent romans civilised? Enlighten me!

lol civilized is from the point of view. Basically every civilization calls itself "civilized" and everyone else "barbarians". In some ways the Aztecs and Incas were more civilized than the Spaniards, but they were branded "barbarians" and then conquered.

Hence, why Americans are viewed as "uncivilized" by many Europeans.

Ok lol

1. Two reshades!

Patroid

My mistake n apology, BluePhoenix

Yes, very nice!!!

(So glad the real patroid is back )

Hmm i am a bit unsatisfied with the shading of the hastati a bit.
@ River Raider- No problem

TheBluePhoenix wrote:Hmm i am a bit unsatisfied with the shading of the hastati a bit.

Hmm. Maybe the shield? It is a little hard to tell between the reds? But I think it is pretty good - or maybe we could make the shield to be player color?

Hmm no its just that i cannot see any shading clearly. In the game it will not be visible. It has to come out a bit. Maybe radiant colours might help( the rest is upto shady guy )

Hi
@BluePhoenix
I dont really get what u mean... do you reakized what i changed with my shadong??
Or did u saw the original hastati insteadof the reshade??? (Posted both at same post)??
If not..pls make clear for me...what u mean.


Here are some more reshades and a bit reworked too!

Patroid

Those are great!

I really like the Praetorian.

Looks very good.
The shading in hastati is not very visible and radiant (as it is in these two images) i had to look very closely to see the difference, which may not be visible during the game at all. So all i asked you is to take a bright colour for shading so it becomes visible
Thats all

Hi,
Any idea for the stats?

Coolguy can u pls send me your mailadress in a pm
I wanna send u the .json that u can test if thes are ok!!!

Patroid

I think I have your email already.

I just sent an email to what I thought was yours. Please let me know if you get it.

Does any image need a change??
If not i would send the .jsons to Daniel to implement.

Patroid

Yes, except for the hastati might need a little extra shading (his arm is a little flat looking)
