Great work! Are you planning to make eastern generals?

I really hope you make mods for all the other cultures, because your work is wonderful!

Yea, I want to see a Punic version

Hey Benjin I have some ideas that you could use for hellenic/greek generals. All are taken from Total War Arena alpha.

- For Epirian generals this helmet (Taken from the Tarentine cavalry, maybe it needs a recolour) it's kind of unique and it could be used for Phyrus. I know that this helmet it's totally different from the Phyrus depictions but it could work. Also that cloak could be used for variety.

- For factions like Carthage, Samnites or even Epirus this cloak and tunic would be a good addition. The brooch reminds me the samnite chest armour from Rise of the Republic (https://co.pinterest.com/pin/81064862018832141/?lp=true). Also this boeotian helmet looks different from others and perhaps could be used for Greek high tier generals.

- This armour could be used for Successor factions (specially Macedon's Companion cavalry). It's a basic armour but I think that could work for 3-4 tier generals .

Hope that you like them and take them in consideration. Keep going with this amazing mod!

Hey, thanks for the suggestions!

1. Not sure about the helmet, but the cloak definitely - I was thinking of using that one eventually.

2. Where did you get that one? I don't have it in my files - my "premium_prodromoi_scouts" asset looks like the one you've linked for #3. I've never seen #2's version before. If you can send that one to me, I'll definitely take a look at it + separate the assets out (helmet and cloak be separate from the tunic).

3. Eh, I'm not convinced - I've seen it before and I just don't think it would give off the right impression I want for the Greeks / Successors. I might use it for other Hellenic-style factions in the future though (e.g. Balkans, Massilia etc).

By the way, I noticed you're using the vanilla Attila Roman skins I used for "AAA: Generals - Romans" - you might want to take a look at the skins I used for the Greeks and Rise of the Republic generals. I re-sized all of the Attila Roman skins to fit with Rome II assets and split them up into Italian + Greek looking ones. I made different arm / leg / head cuts so that they could fit with anything, much better than the vanilla version I was using before. Eventually I'm going to update the Roman general mod so that they use them (along with new hairs - I don't like how most of them are bald).

Hello there ,

I'm currently playing an Imperator Augustus campaign as the Ptolemies.
Don't know its name but I'm a big fan of the late "Boeotian" helmet you made for early generals' ranks.
One thing however is that there is no hair beneath the helmets, even though the generals have long hair. You don't even see stubble.
Now I thought it would be very cool if sometime in the future, you would consider adding that. At least for helmets where it's reasonable, like the one mentioned before or the early helmets for example the Massalians wear, or even some of the early republican roman ones. Not for helmets like for example the Imperial roman or seleucid "mask helmets" obviously.
A few examples I could think of for longer hair you could use, are some of the barbarian hair models with shoulder length or "tucked upwards" beneath the helmet.
Another would be one kind of similar to the shoulder length one, but a bit more "messy" looking and as it looks like starting lower down the neck.
So you maybe could use certain ones like that for helmets going basically just down to or slightly above ear length, and others for helmets going farther down to the neck.

Kind regards, and keep it up with the awesomeness

Edit; I just thought maybe one or two more skin tone variations would be cool, where they're a bit more tan, for the Romans too. Only a little bit though, we don't want an Assassin's Creed Odyssey situation here :D

Assuming you're still working on this, i'd suggest giving the greeks more varying appearances. Blue or green eyes even, if possible. All of the greek general faces look overweight and in general quite ugly in this mod. I realize you're using existing assets, Like Faces from Atilla total war, and there isn't too much you can do with them, but maybe use some of the face options you used for the romans. Greeks are a pretty caucasian looking people, Just like the romans.

please don't take this as negative feedback in any way, Your mod is excellent, I just feel the greek generals look a tad....Rough.

I understand that earlier I had greatly annoyed you. I simply want to ask if would you consider doing these sort of character portrait aging mods for the other Historical Total War Games and the other none Historical Total War Games?

Showing 1-8 of 8 comments Since those other total war games could seriously use the similar sort of modding that you had done here with these particular mods for Total War Rome II.

With your AAA: Generals - Greeks (Aging, Advancing, Acclimatising). Cleopatra wasn't included sadly in fact she seems to eventually be replaced entirely and mysteriously even if players are trying to create a alternative history timeline where Cleopatra didn't die.
