Future Plans:

This mod is a continuation of the true Rome II HD project that aims to reskin the entire game with custom assets while keeping the spirit of the vanilla game alive. We strive to make quality content that covers the future Roman eras and eventually the enemies Rome faced. This means there will be full reskins for the Early Imperial (Augustan) era, Late Imperial and Third Century down the line. Stay tuned for more information on these projects.

Performance:

Performance has been optimized with texture quality ranging from 256-1024. Frames per second and overall smoothness of gameplay should be comparable to minor reskins and even vanilla gameplay. Your computer should not struggle to run this mod.

_____________________________________________________

Compatibility:

This mod reskins the units of the Caesar in Gaul campaign so any mod which does the same thing will be incompatible.

THIS PACK DOES NOT COVER THE GRAND CAMPAIGN UNITS.

This mod is not compatible with Divide et Impera nor any other major reskin of Roman units. It is meant to be standalone and used with the vanilla game.

Permissions:

This mod has case by case permissions with many assets available if permission is requested. Some assets may be barred from use if their original creators disagree with the request. Some contributors have asked their work not to be shared and we must honor that. Anyone found in violation of these permissions will have their mods flagged and take down notices will be sent. Those modders looking to use any asset will contact Celticus directly and put in a request for the specific name of the rigid model they wish to use and permission will either be granted or declined.

Special Thanks:

A huge thank you to Benjin and Kagarino Kirie who put in a massive amount of time and effort into making this reskin the best it can be. This mod would not be possible without their work and support. Another huge thanks to Attila and his wonderful shield patterns he crafted for the equites and velites. Finally a thank you to Phazer who has produced a wonderful Rigid Model Editor tool that allowed the mod to be made in a timely fashion.
