Ok, but could you give me a link? I forgot to bookmark it previously.

RTR 0.5 Imperial Campaign / Re: Roman Unit Descriptions

Ah. Not early republic. Got it. Someone told me the Marian reforms marked the late republic and everything before that was early republic. But no matter. I'll correct it.

Here is the first one. Roman Velites.
The Velites are the youngest and poorest among the Early Republics ranks. These men cannot afford to equip themselves with the gear required to serve in the Hastati. The Velites arm themselves with the Hasta Velitaris, a light javelin, from which they get their name. The Velitaris is of similar make to the pilum, the tip designed to break upon impact and make the javelin useless for enemies to use. The Velites used a Parma, or buckler, in case they were drawn into melee. They wore a light headpiece, such as a wolfskin. These could be used by commanders to identify the soldiers. The Velites were not organized into units, but were instead attached to Hastati units. Their tactical role included harrying the enemy into taking rash actions. They were also used against elephants and chariots, their lighter mobility making it easy for them to outmaneuver the clumsy beasts and chariots.
Please tell me what you think. Where can I improve? Any wrong info? All feedback is welcome and encouraged.

I'll get cracking at those descriptions soon. Please let me know what you think of them. Constructive feedback is always welcome.

I beg your pardon, I may have given you the wrong impression.
I am willing to do as much work as I have to on the unit descriptions. The only thing is that I know RTR has a high standard, and I don't want to provide anything below the expectations. When I said higher-ups, I meant someone who could tell me if there was anything wrong or anything to change. I don't want to force my work on others.

I was thinking it would be better if I sent it to one of the higher ups first so they could see it and edit it. Anyone in particular I could send it to?

Just one last thing. Where should I submit my descriptions?

Could I get a list of some of the roman units to begin the descriptions? Or is there somewhere on the forum that I can find them?

I can do the unit descriptions, but I need some instructions and guidelines.

I am Principe. I came over from the Total war Forums when I heard that this mod was being created. I can write unit descriptions and building descriptions, but I am the worst person who ever modded a game. I guess that disqualifies me, but since I have some free time and someone said you needed Unit descriptions, I wanted to help you out in any way I can.
