@everyone: Demo picture of my new shield mod, many shields are not done so there is a lot of "repeating" going on. (much more variation in finished version)

But it actually RUNS now, so I COULD upload it as beta maybe...?

@everone: I am currently working on the textures of the armor and shields of the soldiers, making 2K HD textures for them all, what soliders and what gear, from which campaign (Grand Campaign/Cæsar/Augustus, ROTR, Empire Divided, etc.) do YOU think I should start with?
Which soliders are the most important? It is going to be a very long process, so I wish to start with the ones that most people want upgraded. It not even sure, that I will finish this massive project, but I at least want to try :)

@everyone: VERY different, All new barbarian city, much better: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1642088258

@everyone I will be very happy to make a MOD that updates ALL (or the most important) swords in Rome 2 to 1-2K HD. I just need to know which are the most urgent, and also at first from the same campaign if possible (Grand Campaign, or Imperator Augustus, or Cæsar in Gaul, etc.).

New REALLY good Gladius mod, based on a new model, and looks great::

[Info] New Mod that draws cool markers under the soldiers, points which they are headed and also looks cool: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1558811062

I think it might replace some of the gladii in DeI, but could make a dedicated submod for DeI with this gladius, but then should ALL the gladii in DeI be replaced or only some of them?

No, Not yet.

does this work with dei

Well. phazer-if you dont want to edit the mod, Ill just make a couple of mod requests to you: could you make the Celtic swords with wooden hilts, and make the blades longer? IRL the Celtic longswords were a little longer than the CA Vanilla version. Oh, and could you also fix their LOD? In addition to that-could make a mod wherein the Thorax swordsmen have Xiphos swords? CA gave them Celtic swords-for whatever reason. Thanks man-appreaciate it!

Here's the link for the mod/ PACK FILE: https://gamemonitoring.net/en/workshop/total-war-rome-ii--emperor-edition/wood-hilt-celtic-sword-shiny-rhomphaia-falx

Yeah I have. Some sort of wierd error message pops up! Also-just so you know-the original mod maker has up and vanished from STEAM-I doubt he/she would even CARE about anyone messing with the mod. In fact-the mod is not even really accessible on the workshop anymore. I found the PACK file on a website by chance.

aubreycw: It is sort of against the unwritten rules to edit other peoples mods. Have you tried placing the .pack in the data folder and then enable it in mod manager?

Hey Phazer! I like what you've done with your gladius mods. I had a favorite mod which changed the Celtic sword models, but the author deleted it off of STEAM, for whatever reason. However, I was able to find the pack file. I can't get it to work, though, and I'm not great at modding. If I sent you the pack file, could you make it work?

[NEW GLADIUS]: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1540145203

GhostOps21: Well there are many Gladii in DeI, early ones, late ones, there at least 6, which one(s) should be replaced?

I'd be interested in a DEI version, but totally up to you.

It will only replace the swords where they have used vanilla models. And that is not many, I could make a DeI version though.

work with DEI?

---[INFO:]---- Please press "Thumps Up" if you like the mod, I don't at any start if no-one rates the mod. Thank you :)

thank you

It is Celticus Magnus' Rome II HD, search for it.

what mod did you use for the princeps?

michimatsch: Yes it will work, but I not sure how of the swords it will replace, then I should make a version specifically for DeI, so it replaces more swords.

just to be sure: this works with DeI?

Frenetic: I can't send it here, I have tried, you will have to friend me.

Frenetic: am not sure I have that excat one anymore

phazer: I would appreciate it if you would send me your preset or upload it somewhere. Especially the first picture looks very nice.

VityViktor: Ok I will look for them and see what I can do.

@phazer I don't know what particular faction uses them. I've seen it being used by Greek, Iberian and Carthaginian units.

VityViktor: Yes, I can in theory to it for ALL the swords in the game, but it is blade that gets the real upgrade, looking like real metal and looking sharp, the different parts of the handle will get sharper but still be the vanilla design. She kopi is a bit difficult because I can't really use those lines to add depth. But I will def try at some point. But what faction is using them? I need to know that to find then files.

Frenetic: The gem preset is just something I made, I make new presets for each picture. I can send my current preset.

Can you do something like that for all these low quality Kopix/Falcata swords?

What GEM preset are you using?

Thank, but much better than what:)?

Thanks for the link, This is a much better gladius and I added you so we can keep in touch! -Tactical Nudes.
