Roman Skin Replacer

Description
Ave! And welcome to Roman Skin Replacer. Rome II shipped with the ugliest character models in Total War history. This mod fixes that.

Hope you enjoy it, and remember to give a thumbs up above to help other people see it!



What it does
I've brought in character models from Total War: Attila and replaced the skins used for Roman character models. I added in a variety of faces, but skewed more towards the younger-looking ones as the average age for a Roman recuit was 18-20 years old. All troops and officers should be replaced, including in Empire Divided where troops wear long sleeves and trousers. Generals are not changed—there are great mods like Benjin's AAA series that you should definitely be using!

Roman dignitaries and champions also use the new skins (just their porthole models when you click on them, this does not change the look of the agent that moves around on the campaign map).

Compatibility
For best results, place this at the top of your load order. This is a lightweight mod that should work with your favorite armor reskins, and will be compatible with any mod that just changes armor designs. It will not work with mods that also change character models (like the Rome II HD mod series) but I've found that mods like that are fairly uncommon, so you should be all set.

Likewise, this only changes Roman character models, so I highly recommend you pair it with the Faces From Attila mod or another non-Roman skin replacer of your choice.

Keep in mind that there may be some clipping with the occasional helmet or armor model. I did some checks and tests but obviously haven't been able to check every mesh.

Anyone know the names of similar mods to this (like Faces of Attila) that I can use alongside this?? I want to add them to my reskins collections for others to use

Oh right, I forgot the iberian-illyrian tribes issue...they look more civilised now lol. Would you consider finishing your follow up mod? Your solution to it sounds pretty cool
But anyways, thanks for all your work, great mod!

Hi Sanakan - Iberian and Illyrian units also use the Greek skins in Rome II, and I feel the Roman skins don't work as well there...I was working on a follow-up to this that would have similar-but-slightly-different looking skins for Greeks / Iberians / Illyrians, but I never got around to finishing it. Either way, feel free to make any adjustments that you'd like and that you think look good!

Hey D0tDash, I modified your mod just for personal use to make the greeks use the same complexion as the romans in your mod. Do you think the Attila skins fit the hellenic troops as well? I think it kinda fits

compatible with Para Bellum?

I don't know why people freak out over accuracy for mods, these are usually made for specific kinds of people. Some sacrifice the "color" correctness for less ugly models. I like this mod.

the mod said that it bought Attila's head model to Rome 2. And these are the Roman_skins in Attila. It's nothing about the skin color.

(seems to me that they use the same complexion for the Western and the Eastern empire, and since the development revolved around the Eastern empire, either way, just because it's in the game doesn't mean it's correct, you yourself are "correcting" the game with the unrealistic complexions)

(Tell me you've never played Attila without saying you've never played Attila)

So.. What your mode does is that it replaces Italians with northern Germans, Celts and Slavs? I mean sure, it's not a mode for me, so why am I not just ignoring it.. But dude, the HBO TV Show (from which you are I think inspired) is American and the actors are mostly British or American (which is mostly pretty much the same)

Also, Roman soldiers served from 16-17 years old to something between 40-50, and even when their empire stretched across the Mediterranean, the bulk of the army was still Italian, recruited mostly in northern Italy (yes, it's north, but they were still a little brown)

Don't take it negatively, I just think that if you like Rome as much as you seem to, you could find this intel useful. (unless you knew all this and just didn't care, if that's the case, then whatever I guess) :duranceleft::duranceright:
