Wab-sabi

This item is very much in the spirit of Wabi-sabi for Troy[http//url%3Dhttps], but and tuned for Rome II.

Its goal is to make warrior formations look less like the bloody robots they are and more like actual human beings. My aim was to reintroduce that sense of haphazard haste and emphasis on the human factor from the game’s earliest promotional material back in 2012, before those touches were scaled back (apparently to differentiate Rome II more sharply from Attila).

I’ve struck a balance in how the soldiers stand on the battlefield: not as rigid as tabletop wargame blocks, but not as loose as a totally random crowd either. You’ll notice wave-like undulations in their lines; just enough to avoid looking artificially perfect, without being so messy that it disrupts the flow of the battle.

Unfortunately, I’m not able to tweak the soldiers’ positions on the walls, because those placements seem baked straight into the wall models themselves.
