Next Update #2 (Est. 31 July)
Hope you guys liked the fixes / changes to the mod in the last update. As some of you are probably aware, half of the planned changes I wanted to do for the first update didn't get done in time. For the next one, I will be getting the rest of the things I wanted to get done.

The next update for the mod will be coming out around Wednesday, 27th June. Updates won't affect saves or anything major to break your games - this mod only affects general appearances afterall.

EDIT: Sorry, got burnt out and took a break for a few weeks. The new estimated time for patch arrival is Wednesday, 25th July.

EDIT #2: Sorry again, the work I'm putting into the next update is significantly more time-consuming than I previously imagined, and so is delayed until Tuesday.

Planned Changes
* = In Progress
    ADDING (6/6 Completed)
  • Add last 27 remaining generic Roman old head retextures - you can finally see all your Roman generals age over time.
  • Add Lepidus old head retexture along with white hair retexture for his 3D hair.
  • Add Polybian Roman politicians for ranks 8 - 10.
  • Add new "Wolf" helmet front plate (recycled from Varus' Lion TV model) for Marian / Imperial general helmets to further increase helmet front plate variation.
  • Add new "Roman_Hair_02" (Bandana) variant without the bandana, for politician variants.
  • Add Polybian Roman uniform art set designation to Wrath of Sparta campaign (for DeI, which features Rome as a faction in their "Macedonian Wars" campaign replacement).

    REPLACING (2/2 Completed)
  • Replace the existing rank 3 - 4 cloak ("Lacerna") with an altered version of the new "Italic Cloak" (this asset is coming with the new Rise of the Republic DLC campaign asset library). This altered version of the cloak has been slightly edited by myself to allow for placement on vanilla armours without any clipping issues - the original version would clip through the chest due to the new armours in Rise of the Republic being shorter.
  • Replacing the black shoulder + bottom stripes ("Pteryges") with white ones. In my opinion, they look much better and more closely resemble the artistic depictions of Roman legates than the black ones.

    REMOVING (2/2 Completed)
  • Remove the existing placeholder beardless barbarian heads. Give the Roman generals who used beardless barbarian heads the Roman heads from Attila instead.
  • Remove the placeholder head from Thrones of Britannia for the young version of Rom_General_32. Give one of the beardless barbarian heads as a better placeholder (for now).

    FIXING (2/2 Completed)
  • Fix texture bug with the old age variant of Pompey's head.
  • Fix Roman Cuirass' texture; the white sash parts should be changed to be a burgandy colour.
* = In Progress

Postponed For Next Update
  • Add vanilla placeholder 3D hair to all rank 1 + politician variants who are still bald.
  • Add new battlefield VMDs with spears to generals, who require a spear when part of a spear-wielding unit (e.g. equites, triarii).
  • Replace the "Augustus_Scarf" neckerchiefs on some of the rank 1's with the better "Neckerchief_03" neckerchiefs.
  • Fix texture UV issues with grey and black winter wolf pelts.
  • Add "Middle" (30-49) + "Old" (50+) aged head variants to female Roman politicians.
  • Add some new clothing assets for female Roman politicians, separated from existing CA content from Rome II / Attila.
  • Fix female Roman's skeleton skin weighting to fit with their hair (at the moment the hair is sort of floating, not 100% fitting with the head - but the fault is with the body's skin weights, not the hair).
  • Fix Dad's inner-mouth texture - make it more red.
  • Fix Dad's eye texture - make it higher resolution + more shiney.

Hi Benjin, It's been a while, and I hope your next update just goes well. My teacher answered me back and point me to this database: http://ancientrome.ru/art/artworken/index.htm?id=10 Its Ancient Sculptures in general, but there is a lot of Roman examples of hairs, heads and facial hair, so feel free to check it out.

Hey, great mod. Do you plan on making Greek models?

Can't wait for more faction to be implemented into your mod ! I really think this is the most amazing mod for Rome II ever ! It's way more amazing than an overhaul, you're adding a freaking immense layer of depth ! Ultra thanks for your work I never thought it possible !

Also, I'm a 3D artist, and I would be very very glad to add faces & ages to the barbarians faction (they lack faces the most) ! If you ever need backup, you can PM me and I'll sculpt a head with pleasure ! ;D

Hey, thanks man - your offer sounds pretty interesting! I'd definitely like to add even more new heads to the game, and if I got some help with that I'd get it done 2x faster. When I get back from holiday, I can send you some example heads from the game.
