I've got 2 gigabytes of Osprey books about Antiquity in my pc. Should I upload it?

YES

So we would need permission to use these, and then we would need to do some extensive editing to make them fit in to RTR, but CATW can definitely be a resource.

No offense, but they don't seem very good, quality wise.

Hence why I said they would need extensive editing to fit into RTR. The models are good, the textures are not.

[Jubal]

Yeah, the faces are badly done but the models underneath do look good.

[ahowl11]

I'm not a fan of the uniform textures as well. Man I need a 2d artist!

[Bercor]

Some of the models seem a little too squeezed, but maybe that's caused by the rendering.

[ahowl11]

Could be, it's worth looking into.

Woohoo, finally got a new mouse . On Topic, I beta Tested for Classical Age Total War for a bit, mostly for bugged units and honestly, this might work. Sure some of the units will need some work and are overly glammed but for the most part they would fit nicely, just take some of the shine off so they could work with the other units. You know z3n is still working on this mod, if you offered him some stuff to help him with his I'm sure he will be willing to share units with you, with permission from coco of course.

[ahowl11]

Yeah I have a good relationship with z3n and I don't think coco would mind. O think I would just use the models and by then hopefully I'll have a 2d artist who could assign a texture to it.
Glad you have a new mouse, we missed you.

Killed me not being able to play total war for so long

Here are some resources for mapping thanks to Gigantus. These tutorials are for M2TW but it works the same for RTW.

For further reference, here is a link to the French Wikipedia and a map showing the borders of the Aedui confederation. Red are the Aedui, pink their clients, brown their allies, and grey their major ennemies. The map and corresponding article usually refer to Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico

The confederation seems to have included these tribes:

Aedui

Clients: Ambarri, Segusiavi, Mandubii

Confederates: Brannovici, Bellovaci, Bituriges, Senones, Parisii

They also seem to have been on friendly terms with their northern neighbours, the Lingones.

This should be of some use gameplay-wise, as it gives us enough reasons to grant them a good number of starting areas. The territories of these tribes encompass cities like Bibracte, Alesia, Avaricum, Lugdunum and Lutetia.
