hy, thanks for the mod, can you make one with more simple scout , less drawning? tx

I'm sad to not see a mod for add AND Balance the tarquinia units for Etruscan League...
Lot of mod simply add tarquinian units... but it's not balanced ... (tpically... etrucan hoplite of ROTR was very nerfed in comparaison of Etruscan hoplite mercenary of grand campaingn...

I noticed the only unit that doesn't have a 3d card is etruscan axes. I'm using nordo pic 3d unit cards that's the only one that doesn't have a 3d card.

update?

Great mod! Love all the new units :D

update please

Can you please update the mod? Thanks.

Hey just wanted to say I've had a great time with this mod, and just wondered if you were going to update it more and if you have any other rome 2 projects in mind?

Can you make an update where you don't need the "All Playable" mod? There are other mods
(more updated) where you can play as the Etruscans.

I made an axeman card for you.

Rename axemen to 'Etruscan Axemen' (there are no other Etruscan axemen in the game so the specification is unneccessary) and either remove the shield from the card or replace the two-handed axe with a one-handed one and give them shields (I believe that would be more historically accurate). I've also never seen a mercenary axemen unit (or any of the new units as mercenaries) so I assume you didn't make them, but it doesn't make sense when Etruscan hoplites are available to everyone and Etruscan axemen aren't (also Etruscans have currently got 'Etruscan Spearmen' and the mercenary unit is still 'Italian Spearmen'). To achieve perfection, make it so Etruria can form legions when cohort organisation is researched!

Remove that falxes.

I dont think Etruscans had Falxs

The main problem is that your roster just replace the basic one for all "italic" factions, like Samnites or Lucanians, and not just for the Etruscans.

I have been away for a week, but now i am back and will take a look on some of the problem you have had with the mod.

Nice mod, but the a unit has invisible two handed weapons.

ok. welli think you should still bugg the swordsmen and spearmen. their utterly worthless as is.

Are you noob

The aim of the mod is to have accurate units, not a lot of them, everything must have a serious bibliography.

In short, Swastika is an anicent symbol of Sun use world wide around the world for thousand years. Was use as good luck bless. But thanks to Hitler, his madness and idiotic ruin the Swastika.

Swastika is not only Indian symbol, the oldest swastika was found in Ukraine, and use spread wide in Rome, Greek, Germanic, East European, even found on stones at North Amercia before Colonial Age, for thousands years since Stone Age as a good luck (the Sun) before Nazi turn it into war crime symbol.

45th Infantry Division used Swastika as their unit symbol before 1930s.

on the two handed axes

axes arent visible in game by the way. they dont show up.

oh and I think you should team up with another modder who has more experience so you guys can get some more units that arent just renamed. and maybe you can boost the etruscan swordsmen a little. they are pretty week. sometimes even lose to unarmored shortswords which is kinda sad to watch tbh.

a swatstica was not only an indian symbol? Greeks used it... nazis used it... and its actually four of the greek letter gamma put together... and yes etruscans did use swatsticas so... get rekt helix

swastica was an indian symbol

Good looking mod, I'm using it too now. It goes well with my mod Ager Romanus - Italia Renascitur where I have unlocked Etrusca, Lucania and Samnites. It is available here in the Steam Workshop campaign section.

If I don't wrong, Estrucan use a lot of swastika symbol for good luck and their skirt is shorter.

Says it is older then my version of game so can i play with this mod?

Very interesting variant of History...Thanks...Unexpected idea and ...that is why wonderful ! Good for you! I think ,that my Etrusian troops will be bored without desperate Femalewarriors...Yes?Do it,please!!!Thank you beforehand...Good luck!

i can't see axes of "Etruscan Two-Handed Axemen " what i can do?

However now the clever author of this mod has the PDF I wrote, which is a synthesis of the "Gli Eserciti Etruschi", written by the archaeologist Ivo Fossati, the only published work on this subject. So everything you'll see will be as accurate as possible.

Where did you find reference for a massive use of handed axe in the late hellenstic period @Fritz? Chariots where used in war only to transport the general and not to fight, as the hilly Tuscany doesn't allow such use. Then, chariots were no more used after VI century BC.
Etruscan never used throwing axes, but javelins (pila) after the IV century BC, as they became common in area after the arrival of the Gauls.

Ahh great :D impatient to break some Hoplite phalanx with those.

a good base for levy axes would be karian axemen and just change their shields

you should also add a levy axe men and an axe men. just so you have some more units who arent just renamed.

nice! please dont stop updating this like other people do.

William. I would like to see what you got.
I have made two-handed axemen by porting the two-handed axe from Attila as placeholder, just so the animation dont look weird it will be in the next update.

some historical refrences say that used two and one handed axes. and they threw the onehanded axes, but since thats not possible maybe they could have like a couple javelins. and they known for their chariots to.

I like it. Simple historically plausable units rather than fantasy ones. I recently saw the Etruscan exhibit at the British museum.I have photos of real Etruscan equipment if you're interested in improve the mod even more.

You forget the Etruscan Axeman (Faesiz) wich had he big role in the battle.

Great idea, rather than having their units genric in the vanilla as 'italian'. Should make for more diversity, keep up the good work!

The problem with pictures is that they normally show Etruscan armie of the VI century BC, more or less. I'll send you also some images.

Sure it would be nice to see what you got. i have only seen some pics from library books.

Nice job, I'm the author of that post. I agree with almost all the mod and I suscrbe to it, the only problem are the "scutum". The ones you used are the samnite style, you should use the roman style, like hastati/princeps/triarii. If you want detailed information about equipment I can send you a PDF with all you need in it.

Thanks, maybe you can do the same for the other minor units.
