The Last Roman Overhaul (1.1) part 1 of 3

Welcome to the updated overhaul (version 1.1) of The Last Roman DLC.

Major changes for 1.1:

• Basques, Bretons and Burgundians

  now playable, with unique rosters for the Basques and Bretons. There is still some work to do to round out these factions.

  Known bug: the starting armies for the Basques don’t charge upkeep for some reason. Either disband them, or enjoy the free armies.

  The AI recruits more armies and puts up a better fight in the campaign. Highly recommended.

  Minor changes for update 1.1 include:
• Irregulars’ colours fixed
• fixed smearing on Sagittarii unit card
• added coloured spears to various Roman units
• added custom officer to desert light infantry units
• fixed Herulis’ colours
• reduced saturation for ERE colours
• increased melee defence for Ostrogoths’ Milites unit
• included compatible improvements from Unofficial Community Patch
• added custom skins and unit cards for numerous Germanic units
• fixed issue with Onagers being recruitable by factions that should not have them
• Ostrogothic Javelinmen and Frankish Skirmishers reduced from 300 to 180 men
• added small sanitation bonus for churches in minor settlements
• slight increase in standard arrows, crossbows and flaming arrows’ accuracy
• small reduction in great power penalty
• over 30 new skins added
• added Lombard Lancers and Dismounted Lombard Lancers to Roman roster
• unit sizes adjusted in startpos for starting armies and key garrisons
• added Custom Battle Crash Fix by Swiss Halberdier
• other changes

Mod features include:

Using the beautiful textures of Celticus and alongside a few of my own modest attempts at creating tunics and shield facings, I’ve attempted to give each faction a unique flavour and broad theme. For example I tried to give the Ostrogoths a mixed Romano-Germanic appearance, while the Visigoths, Vandals and Franks tend more towards their own Germanic roots. The Langobards remain consistent with their 5th Century appearance.

The Moors and Berbers have a more lightly armoured appearance than vanilla.

For the Romans I built on Celticus’ textures and tried to follow various imagery and ideas from my own research. Generally they are more lightly armoured than their 5th Century counterparts.

This is a work in progress

• Melee and spears increased to 300
• Cavalry to 120
• Ranged up to 160

• Melee hit chance reduced
• Melee attack intervals reduced
• Whistling arrows removed
• High arcing shot, heavy shot, flaming shot and standard shot for archers. High arcing shot has reduced armour piercing damage but greater range.
• Projectiles less accurate
• Onagers reduced to two guns and their range and accuracy reduced
• Towers are less deadly
• Fire ships removed

I made various changes to create a progression from limitanei to pseudocomitatenses, and to include historical units.

• Exploratores and Praeventores changed to Auxiliares Legio Limitanei and Auxiliares Pseudocomitatenses.
• A Pseudocomitatenses unit created to fill a gap in the roster.
• Scout Equites changed to Equites Auxilia Limitanei.
• The Levis Armaturae are now Irregulars.
• Foederati Cavalry are now Heruli.
• Foederati Horse Archers are now Hunni.
• Equites Promoti are now Koursores
• Dromedari removed, and other changes.

• Onagers and Large Onagers removed from rosters except for Ostrogoths and Franks who can only recruit 2 onagers.
• Slingers capped to prevent AI spamming.
• Mercenary pikes are now Spear Band who can do spear wall. Pikes in general are a problem and I’m continuing to work on them to make them less horrible.
• Many other changes.
