Carthago Preview for 0.89

[jmilan77]

Hi all, sorry this took a while. For our first preview, we shall show you some of the units included in the upcoming 0.88.5 release. Before we start can we say that this is still a WIP so if there are any irregularitys in the anims stances, this still is yet to be fixed. Also please keep checking each sticky, as i shall be editing this original post within the week to hopefully release more info such as building trees, strat map pics, more units and maybe a vid if i get enough time.

What the... is it even possible?!?!?!

Hats off to you guys, those units look SLICK. Better by far than RS2 (I hate how dey be herp 'a derping, their eyes are ridiculous)

Small comment though, the breastplate on Scutarii look too... hastati-like . Is it possible to change it to a leather armour, or a circular breastplate?

[jmilan77]

thanks my friend

Funny that comment, we have already changed that, got some retexture touch up today and it has been removed to make it a bigger difference between them and the heavy Scutari, you can see them in the Iberian Scutari cavalry pic, sorry its not a great one of that unit

[debux]

A-ha! Great! I can't wait to recruit them into my great Carthaginian army!

Few changes to original post

Carthage itself doesn't seem to be doing so well with the financial crisis lately...

[jmilan77]

oh yeah, cant fix that because its the way the engine works out your finance divided by the population or something, its not that bad in debt though:P
