Hoegni as I said before this is one of the best mode for Rome 2. Because your mode is one of my favorite to play, I want to be helpful through the progress of the mode. I like every think witch I don’t mention here. For example Cartage, Spartan and Suevi units looks amazing. There are some minor things which I don’t like so much. As I have a respect to your work, if you don’t care about my suggestions, that’s also ok.
The Praetorian guards are the most elite unit of roman army. However instead of a strong unit they looks like a barbarian tribe horde. Your Veteran Legionaries skin could be a good example of the mighty praetorian guard units. Roman Auxiliary troops skin are looks like from Games of Thrones and this is not a good thing for a Roman unit. They may look like more Rome 2 era style.
As the main body of the roman army are Legionaries, if their uniforms are red it could mean a lot rather than green. With green the main body of the roman army looks like Gallic Auxiliary units.
All the soldiers in some of the units looks identical. As I notice so far, such as Roman Triari and Some Suevi female units. And the Eagle cohort. Actually I prefer your previous eagle cohort units models. A whole unit, full of centurions helmets could not be a so good idea. It may look really fascinating if the "officers" of the lower tier units could be centurion and the upper tier units officer could be your general skin. Or I don’t know if it is possible but, may be the Banners of the higher tier units skin could be centurion skin and the officer could be same. For your information I tried and notice that Benjin' s centurion mode " Roman Centurion Visual Overhaul" is able to work with your mode.

Hello again! I'm super happy that this mod is to your taste :)
Ha it's cool if it works with benjin's! I'll add it to the compatibility, did you put it on top ?

You're quiet right on that green legios thing, I was hesistant but it was the Arena color scheme, but it does look weird x) I myself played them red/black.
I'll recolor them and the praetorians for that purpose!

The auxiliary infantry reskin is indeed a anachronistic reskin, they are 3rd or 4th century raetians soldiers apparently, and I understand the issue. Maybe I could replace another unit in the auxiliary section with those, as I still want them included in some way!

That's a very good suggestion for centurion/standard bearer replacement. If you like, that's what I did with the celts and germans, and itshould be the best option for romans too! Though no standard then ! But who cares about the eagles :p

I'll do all of that whenever I can tomorrow!

Here comes the limitations though:

You mention some units being clones, and that's right, Arena was made on efficiency, with a minimum of models per unit. So I definitely cannot have varied heads for a unit, especially in the case of the Spear Women :|
The triarii I can add some head variation if they don't clip through the helmet, because none were made to fit that particular helmet!

Also, I see you mention the units by their original names, I actually renamed the whole rosters for the english location... it means you don't play in english ?! x)
Whatta shame! you're missing on some sweet unit names :p

The 'Praetorian Guards' are actually 'Auxilia Palatina' in my Arena:Total War reskin! That explains why they are some brute germano-celtic badasses ~~
Hi there, didn't play the mod yet but here's . a good suggestion : commander/ general models or said arena commanders implemented in the game ? would this be possible
