Smarmy’s Roster Expansions ; SARE/EARE/AARE/BRE/MPRE/ACRE/ROH
This is a combination of all roster packs I have released to date, to address the issue of the mod limit as many of you have requested. The mods in question are AARE, EARE, SARE, BRE, ACRE, MPRE, ROH. That is the expansions for Athens, Sparta, Epirus, Baktria, Carthage, Pontos and Armenia. All of my work is based upon my love of other mods that came before me, being a huge fan of Europa Barbarorum and finding inspiration in other mods such as Roma Sur♥♥♥♥♥♥. So most of the units you will see are attempts to port over units from those mods that are lacking in Rome 2, trying to make units that mesh as cleanly as possible with the vanilla content in terms of appearance, balance and historical authenticity. These mods also make use of texture work and other ideas created by other modders, such as Ahigas linothoraxes and leather muscled cuirasses, so I take absolutely no credit for any of the custom work you see in my units. I don’t consider this compilation finished by any means, and I continue to tweak and create as time permits, balance changes are also of course on going as needed. All of my mods are also of course open source, I don’t require permission or credit, you may use my work to help you with your own as you wish.
If you have any problems with my pack, please let me know in the comments. I also greatly appreciate feedback on unit balance, so if in the course of your campaigns you find a unit costing too much or too little, being made irrelevant by another unit (which is likely considering EE’s recent upheaval), being too strong or too weak, etc, please let me know.
I’ve also uploaded an enormous amount of screenshots as you can see, plenty of battle shots from my testing campaigns as well as a few previews of things I am working on.
Most if not all of my mods are also included in the UPC translation project, so look for that on TWC if you’d like translations of unit names/descriptions for your native language.
There are a few mods I also highly recommend you use, such as the Seleukid reskin by Arthalion, this mod in particular enhances BRE, as it affects the textures of cataphract horse armours, changing the hellenic cataphracts as you will see in some of the screenshots to ride horses in bronze armour.
