The Army of Sol Invictus
Arise!
A very simple first attempt at a reskin of the Roman faction on the Grand Campaign map. All soldiers have been reskinned to have a uniformed yet customised look. I also added archer units to the Roman faction just to complete the army.
When you reach the Professional Soldiery tech the units will become the reskinned models. This is to simulate the rise of the worship to Sol Invictus.
No stat changes, just a badass reskin (or so I hope) 🙂
I tried to make the models in tiers, so your most expensive troops look fully armoured and with some customisation, and then the cheaper more plentiful units look more basic and less armoured.
Known bugs: Generals currently T-Posed on campaign map but working perfectly fine on battle map. Trying to find a work around but my modding skills are minimal.
I intend to add the temple of Sol Invictus as a buildable building but I have not developed my skills that far yet.
This mod is just abit of fun! This is not intended in any way for historical accuracy, just fantasy. And I rather enjoy having a faceless army.
Just for abit of back story to make this reskin make some sort of sense:
In my imagination – at some point during romes rise to power the worship of Sol Invictus became prominent. Through the constant wars and plagues that gripped the empire the people needed an answer, anything to stop their plight. With barbarians invading constantly and massacaring innocents by the thousands and no solid defense along the stretched borders the situation seemed bleak.
Then a new emperor comes to power. You!
Your first decree is that all shall worship the solder god. To make rome strong again the people must give themselves fully to Sol Invictus, forsaking all else and giving their very lives and souls to the one god. The people, eager for an answer to all their problems succumb willingly…..and so begins the reign of the Army of the Sun!
