Ave RimWorlders,

I've created a mod with the goal to expand the cultural and technological diversity of RimWorld. As the title says it is set in the ancient age.

Short description:

Ancient Rim will expand the technological timeline of RimWorld by a whole new age, filling the gap between the neolithikum and  the industrialization. The player will be allowed to dive into the experience meeting cultures extinct long ago in our timeline, making it more possible to his/her colony to live in luxury without the need of electricity. There will be a lot of new furniture items, weapons, armor and clothing as well as various other content representing each unique culture from our history.

Modules:
To allow the player to customize his/her experience Ancient Rim consists of multiple modules. These are...

The Ancient Rim - Core Mod. It includes various shared contend like resources, crafting stations, research tabs and projects and items appearing in multiple cultures. You will need to download and install JecsTools (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=11022.0) before it.
AR_Core.7z (https://www.dropbox.com/s/uisn03906v4be4y/AR_Core.7z?dl=1)

Ancient Rim - Mediterranean Edition. Here we have the bunch of furniture items, weapons, armor and clothing representing the cultures of  the old Romans and Greeks. There are also some food items and crops important to Rome. It won't run without the core mod.
AR_SPQRim.7z (https://www.dropbox.com/s/2r7hyie8mf0zjc3/AR_SPQRim.7z?dl=1)

Ancient Rim Mediterranean Factions. Ever wondered how it is to be raided by the mighty Legions of Rome? This sub mod will add factions from the old Mediterranean Sea. You will be able to trade and fight with the Empire of Rome, the Kingdom of Macedonia (representing Alexander the Great), the Peloponnesian League (cities belonging to Sparta) and other Greek cities. You will need both Core and Mediterranean Edition.
AR_MediFaction.7z (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ccqwjttw68zw58y/AR_MediFaction.7z?dl=1)

Ancient Rim - Oriental Edition (unfinished). Just like the Mediterranean Edition but with Egypt and Persia instead of Rome and Greece.
AR_Orient.7z (https://www.dropbox.com/s/d6ppgdakc4yy4mc/AR_Orient.7z?dl=0)

Ancient Rim - Oriental Factions (unfinished). Factions equipped with gear by the Oriental Edition.
AR_OriFaction.7z (https://www.dropbox.com/s/fq7puh8i21ohdk1/AR_OriFaction.7z?dl=0)

Future plans:

• improving existing mods
• ancient age: the Orient, China and India
• 17^th+18^th century Europe
• Aztec and Inca empire

Because of that there is many stuff I wan to add I don't think I get everything done by myself in foreseeable time. I'm happy for everyone willing to contribute his/her talent to help me out.

If there is anything special you want to see in here, just tell it in the comment.

Hey Koni,

great mod, congrats to the official release  ;D

Oops, won't happen again, or not so fast. Somehow my browser don't tell me such mistakes.

mine neither, thats what nagging forumites are there for :)

Oh, it's out? Yes!

Thank you and congratulation for the release.

Ave

Now that's something i've been waiting for!
Nice work, particularly the graphics, keep up the good work.

I'm off to test this thing for the next 10 to 40 hours...

Hail to Koni!

Glad it got officially released! I love this mod!  ;D

Awesome mod, thanks for all your hard work! Now I can re-create Caesar's Legion from Fallout, sweetness

Great mod, but I've got an issue, that makes me unable to build flag pole. Colonists deliver materials, someone build it, and it just disappear. Anyway, rest of features works fine, as far as I checked.

Does it throw any errors in the log? At my test the flagpole works without problems. Does this happen to other players?

Good job! Just as it is said, Rim wasn't built in a day.

Nothing bad to report so far, only the mediterrannean smithy isnt turning the ressources into unfinished object when making armors, and so we can't have info on work left. Otherwise i'm using a quite modded rimworld and i'm surprised it worked without problems, great work!

First official update: The faction is now divided in Romans and Greeks. There is also a new chainmail called lorica hamata. And the smithy turns now recourses into unfinished.

What next ?  :D

In the next time I start another mod in that timeline, settled in the near east and the Nile.

man i love this mod!

I loved the mod, but I still get some erros when certain pawns spawn with some clothes, but nothing too bad.
You could also try to make a stepgen that generated some destroyed greek/roman ruins in the maps, specially near the roads.

Could you please make a CE compatible version?  :)
If not patch separating weapons usually makes it compatible.

I can try, but I didn't play CE, yet, so I don't know what it does to weapons or apparel that I could add/change per patching my work.

What errors, I haven't found any in my test.
Ruins: I'm not a real coder, I only made xml stuff so I would need help or frameworks which allow more complex structures spawning.

These are basically Greeks not in Greece, aren't they? But Thanks for offering this. Knowledge is power, and power is good, especially on the Rimworlds.

A Combat Extended patch would be incredible. As an ex classics student I'm desperate to play this mod but I struggle to enjoy rimworld without CE. Of course, only if you want to/know how to!

Is this awesome mod compatible with Medieval Times and Hospitality? :)

Both also not tested yet, but in theory there shouldn't be issues, because I don't override anything in core, expect I gave the vanilla swords and pila new name and texture, and I also have nothing that did something to the behavior of guests.

Also thanks for your research, HatiRagnarr!

Thanks also to you, Lilairen. That would take a lot of time to implement anything you guys gave me at information.

umm mods of this nature should totally change the starting age from 5500 to something like BC, and eliminate the futuristic stuffs, i haven't checked in a long time does medieval do something like that ?

https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=32473.0

Scroll down to Tribal Planet. It should get rid of the gun-using factions and add a tribal "pirate" faction.

It's spelled Bronze, not Bronce. Technically Bronze is made from copper and tin instead of copper and iron but for gameplay purpose it's nice of you not to clutter the game with too many metal types (unlike cupro's alloys (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=32190#msg329352)).

It might be a slightly disruptive idea but considering steel and plasteel can be considered alloys, perhaps they shouldn't naturally occur as raw deposits on the map? This would force players to smelt them from base metals. Also is there a way to disable naturally occurring metal walls? It's both unrealistic and balance breaking when using the set up camp mod.

On the shields side of things, here is the link to skully's shield mod (https://github.com/Skullywag/MedievalShields). It hasn't been updated to a17 (yet?) might be worth checking with him if it's happening.

As I know, materials spawn I walls, based on their stats, like price or flammability, so I should make iron and co. as expensive as plasteel is or as flammable as wood, which is both more unbalanced.
But making higher quality alloys only available by crafting/buying them is a good idea, I just have to find out how to disable the (pla-)steel ores.
And about the shields: I think it wouldn't be nice, if via Faction Colors uniformed pawns spawn with shields in material or the texture color, so I already asked Cpt.Ohu for implementing shields in his framework. I hope he cares about it.

It might be possible to do it without changing those values but using code instead. I created a thread for the suggestion:
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=35382.0

Can you make a version without factions?

You mean just items and research? Should be possible

Yeah, kinda like Medieval. I don't really like the new factions, unless they are variations, kinda like Caesars' legion from New Vegas, tribals who got too smart and started doing shenanigans with Earth history in some distant world.

Bless you! thats a for sure a mod I won't disable anytime soon.

I'm going to continue work next week, after the poll is closed automatic.

Help! When i load a game, it's all right and the world map works fine. But then, i came across your mod and thought "Why not?" and downloaded it. However, i played it once, closed the game and slept. The next day, i opened Rimworld and loaded my save and it was fine at first, then i decided to buy chocolate in a nearby town. When i opened the world map, there was no Planet, no Sun. Just the icons of various settlements  (Except, strangely, Imperium Romanum.) I am sure that the SPQRim mod is causing it as this started when I used it. I already tried turning the mod off, but my save becomes impossible to load when i turn it off and i had made sure i deleted everything in my colony that is from your mod (With the Dev Tools).

There appears to be no way to craft bolter ammo. Am I missing something?

I can't tell you what's wrong. Did it throw errors in the log? Can you give me a list of the mods you've used? Maybe there is an incompatibility.

There are craft at the stone cutters table as "ballistae bolts", after you researched the bolter ballista, if there was no bug.

I'm sorry, but I'm missing a lot of time. In the unfinished section in the forum I've released a mini mod of some old near eastern weapons, to show I've not forgot to work on Ancient Rim.

any news ?

Not sure how to vote this. I say separate the other ancient rim mods, but also do a combined version as well let them decide which they want.

ROMA VICTA

could you add shields for this mod, make it more historical :)

That would require an actual framework, which is compatible with Faction Colors by Cpt.Ohu or high coding skills, which both I have not :(

Update:

• The mod is ripped into the a core file and a specific mod file
• I've added shields! But they're more of an improvised kind. Those shields are only a weapon with a shield texture and will be replaced with better ones, until it is possible to me(I'm still hoping someone does make a FC supporting framework for shields..)

Awesome job on releasing your mod!

I added this to my own game but could you add support to make Olive Oil from the Mill Stone in the Vegetable Garden mod?

I think I can try it, probably I should make a whole VG patch. I'll start this weekend with it

If you do can you also deal with your Grapes vs VG Grapes? It would be nice if both could do the same things as each other.

done

Thank you!

Can you make more Mosaics? Such as an Ibex, Boar and Deer?

Thanks!

Any updates for B18? Possibly on Steam this time?

love the idea, but ya gotta have the hoplon and pelte if you're going Greek...

Know there were mods that allowed you to a shield in A17, but all the combat mods are in a state of total freakin rebuild for 18 atm.

Just a thought.

I won't upload AR on Steam, I don't have an account on there, yet.

I tried to improvise shields in A17, without those combat mods, because I was using Cpt.Ohu's Faction Colors as a framework. Since This isn't going to be updated in foreseeable future, I will use my improvisation until those combat mods are on B18; when AR is at B18, of course

It's updated to B18.
I've make nearly no changes, except deleting minor detail for compatibility with the new RimWorld version. Also Cpt.Ohu's Faction Colors isn't needed anymore.

WOOOHOOO!!! I honestly was not expecting this at all, even though I had checked your mod out earlier. I really wanted a B18 release to, and had no idea it was in the works. What a great surprise, and thanks for all of your hard work! ;D

This turned into a mess for me.

Care: The Universal Fermenter zip does not extract a root folder into your mods folder, it dumps the About, Assemblies etc. directly so that you have to go clean that shit up.

The Ancient Rim mods flagged as not for B18 after painting the error log red.

Always look at your 7zip or winrar or whatever extraction program you use, look at the contents window before extracting. I think I had the same issue with universal fermenter, but that isn't this authors fault. I'm curious if they uploaded the wrong version of SPQR, or that we can just change the version number. It is xml only, so doesn't look like it would hurt to try.

SCREEEEEEENS!!! >:(

I had issues with uploading SPQRim first, that's why there were errors about "mods flagged as not for B18 after painting the error log red". This was still the A17 version. It should be fixed now. Sorry for that.

I'm guessing you need the load order to be AR_Core->AR_SPQRim, right? I think most people would figure this out, but it helps to have it in the OP for people like me! ;D

Is this mod compatible with Combat Extended?

I'm also curious how this will interact with cuproPanda's Alloys, because I think he has copper or bronze in his, as well. Maybe there will be 2 kinds, or they will work together, or whoever is loaded last will overwrite the other? I guess we shall find out! It would be cool if it was just cupro's kind would work with this mod though, because he has other alloys that are great as well.

EDIT: Is there anyway you can have your floors work with Stuffed Floors and/or Architect Sense? I ask because I have 5 seperate entries for the 5 vanilla types of stone you can make it out of, when it could be only 1, or a lot more if you were to just allow the <stoney> type, no? Because we have stones added by mods that we want to use, not every always has granite, marble, slate, sandstone, and limestone.

EDIT2: Also, I cannot for the life of me find those mosaics anywhere. Do you have to craft them? I'll check when I get back.

Hey there.
Whenever I attempt to build the 'Fermenting Barrel (Wine)', whenever a pawn finishes actually building it, it just disappears. I also cannot place a barrel using dev mode, as it just gives the same error.

Got both Universal Fermenter, and Faction Colors, even though it seems to be outdated.
Double checked, and switching the order of SPQRim and Ancient Rim Core around doesn't change anything either.

Ooh! This is really cool! Any chance we will see some Roman Legion factions in the future?

Good Morning Guys,
I've updated AR again, but this time it was the last major update. I named it after the Roman general Gaius Marius, because of his reforms in the legion, referring to the changes I made in AR:

• reworked research projects
• retextured and new apparel
• reworked faction and its pawns
• colored walls for the Roman-villa-feeling, available in red, green and blue
• Shields! (thanks to jecrell/ his JecsTools mod)

(https://i.imgur.com/HEZLaJO.png)
Here's a screenshot showing two of the new shields, some of the new apparel and a colored wall

Doh, somehow I missed that when looking it over. So sorry.
I've just started using it and it is super awesome!

have you looked into making a combat extended patch yet?

I love these mods and your work in general.  Looking forward to combining this with the LOTR mods and Rimworld Medieval Edition for a Dwarf Fortress-esque Rimworld experience.

Thank you!  Looking forward to anything that may come in the future.

Hey Koni, any chance this will be updated to be compatible with 1.0 once it becomes stable?

I don't mean to nag, I'm just excited.

Please update this mod to build 19! This is a must have mod for me!

If Koni is not around. Could someone please try to update it for build 19 until he returns?

Hey there! I'm back with the new update to B19.
Not much has changed since B18. I've just updated stuff to the new game version + two new hats and a wood fueled heater build into the ground.

Because we have a new system how armor is calculated the mod might be very unbalanced. Please tell me everything that doesn't feel right so I can fix it.

Wooo! Glad you came back!  ;D

I can do, if you mean 'steel'. I should make a whole medieval times addon.

Really like the mod, it adds a lot to the game!
One problem I've found is that the factions get massive numbers of troops when they do raids. I'm playing at the moment and have 8 colonists and have just been attacked by the romans with 32 troops! This is not a feasibly defensible attack. The armour they wear makes them very tanky and they get in and swamp my colonists before I can do anything.

Looking at your code, you haven't set the combat power correctly. Most of the units are set to 25 combat power, compared to the scrub tier tribal troop which has 35 combat power. The troops from your factions are easily more powerful than tribals. For a bit of balancing, I would suggest making the different pawn kinds have higher combat power across the board.

One other note, there is a slight incompatibility with Rainbeau Flambe's Faction Control mod. If you set the game to spawn more than one of your factions, they are named 'Errorname'. Simple fix is to just add a couple more names in the faction name maker. "Roman Empire" and "Roman Republic" for example.

Anyway, those're my two cents. Really like the mod! Always have it enabled now, love the artwork on everything.

Thanks for the hard work!

mipen,
do you use the mod "Same spot" maybe ?
Normaly you can position 3 pawn's on a narrow spot like a door, that will block all enemies from passing through.
But that mod change it, so they can move past your blocking pawns.

I don't use it. It's not a matter of blocking them from getting in, but being unable to kill them before they kill me. The always turn up with 'excellent' quality armour and weapons and don't take much damage from gun fire.

Will this be updated for v1.0? Please?

He was last online 4 days ago, so he's alive at least. Just gotta wait.

Factions dont show up

Man, I miss this mod while playing 1.0...

Ave RimWorlders,

I've created a mod with the goal to expand the cultural and technological diversity of RimWorld. As the title says it is set in the ancient age.

Short description:

Ancient Rim will expand the technological timeline of RimWorld by a whole new age, filling the gap between the neolithikum and  the industrialization. The player will be allowed to dive into the experience meeting cultures extinct long ago in our timeline, making it more possible to his/her colony to live in luxury without the need of electricity. There will be a lot of new furniture items, weapons, armor and clothing as well as various other content representing each unique culture from our history.

Modules:
To allow the player to customize his/her experience Ancient Rim consists of multiple modules. These are...

The Ancient Rim Core Mod. It includes various shared contend like resources, crafting stations, research tabs and projects and items appearing in multiple cultures. You will need to download and install JecsTools (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=11022.0) before it.
AR_Core.7z (https://www.dropbox.com/s/uisn03906v4be4y/AR_Core.7z?dl=1)

Ancient Rim Mediterranean Edition. Here we have the bunch of furniture items, weapons, armor and clothing representing the cultures of  the old Romans and Greeks. There are also some food items and crops important to Rome. It won't run without the core mod.
AR_SPQRim.7z (https://www.dropbox.com/s/2r7hyie8mf0zjc3/AR_SPQRim.7z?dl=1)

Ancient Rim Mediterranean Factions. Ever wondered how it is to be raided by the mighty Legions of Rome? This sub mod will add factions from the old Mediterranean Sea. You will be able to trade and fight with the Empire of Rome, the Kingdom of Macedonia (representing Alexander the Great), the Peloponnesian League (cities belonging to Sparta) and other Greek cities. You will need both Core and Mediterranean Edition.
AR_MediFaction.7z (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ccqwjttw68zw58y/AR_MediFaction.7z?dl=1)

Future plans:

• improving existing mods
• ancient age: the Orient, China and India
• 17^th+18^th century Europe
• Aztec and Inca empire

Because of that there is many stuff I wan to add I don't think I get everything done by myself in foreseeable time. I'm happy for everyone willing to contribute his/her talent to help me out.

If there is anything special you want to see in here, just tell it in the comment.

Licence: Actually there is no licence, do what ever you want, but please give credits.

Is this updated for Rimworld 1.0?

I'm sorry for that I was not able to update the mod for the last few month. It's just because I had no time. But I am back now with a new version of AR for Rimworld 1.0.
I've made the following changes:

• palisades are now impassable and not buildable on bridges, as they're only meant to stand on solid soil
• sandbags aren't patched to use iron instead of steel any more, this is a modern technology
• the whole research tree is overworked
• electrical building and conduits need now copper
• ancient tables can be gather spots, oil lamps are buildable on tables
• raids haven't that many warriors any more
• all clothing except coats are worn directly on skin
• mosaics are crafted a bit faster
• overworked various textures
• wine is temporary disabled because the fermenting barrel was too bugged, wine comes
• back until I figured out where the problem was
• bulk smelting of bronze and steel is now possible at the electric smelter
• various other small changes and balancing

I hope you like it

it's nice to see this being updated. this was the first mod I got of the forums back in b18. say, are you going to put this steam workshop anytime soon?

Thanks Koni, this mod is totally unique and best quality.  The best medieval/ancient type mod for rimworld.

Hello, great mod but am I missing something I can't seem to make Lorica hamata armor, I'm using medieval times and CE which shouldnt screw with the mod. Yet I have the Mediterranean smithy and I don't see it under recipes.

Wait, this one works with CE?!?!?

Also, Thanks Koni for a really cool mod for all us history nerds

@koni- Can you add the ability to use Momigalite from【ZP】Rice cultivating civilization mod to fuel your wood fueled items? I love using these two mods together.

I'm not aware that I did anything about CE compatibility, but ok. I shall look into it.

I've uptdatet AR to your will ;)
Along with that you may now also use Medieval Times coal to fuel ancient forges. And other changes were made:

• wine is back
• new textures for falx sword, wine and olive oil, stack textures for ballista ammo
• 2 new clothing items: himation and light cape
• armors and helmets are now restricted by crafting skills
• tried another time to balance armors

Download links of SPQRim and Core remain the same.

In addition I'm announcing that I'll try to mod two new eras simultaneously. These are the ancient Egypt and something set between the Renaissance and Napoleon in Europe.

Love this, by far the best pre-gun Rimworld mod.  Looking for ward very much to anything else you release.  Ancient Egypt sounds awesome!

Mod is on Steam now.

Congrats!

@koni - Can you make it so the oil press can use Olives for the Vegetable Garden mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1185265132) too? And also make your Grapes work with Vegetable Garden?

Also in your Ancient Egypt mod will it have mummification? If so some ideas ...

- Work with the Vegetable Garden mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1185269798) that has Flax and Linen for making Mummy bandages.
- Have Canopic Jars to hold organs.
- Allow corpses to have their organs removed and wrapped in the mummy bandages.
- Allow animals to be mummified too.
- Have special decorative sarcophagus.
- Add Kemetism religion to go with Religions of the World mod (https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1645324706). With possible temple props.

EDIT: Also had some ideas for the Roman mod.

- Arched pillars for a Colosseum style look.
- Chariots to go with the Giddyup mod (https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1216999901).
- Lyre instrument to go with the Musical Instruments Mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1549446374)
- Gladiator style fights to go with the Prisoner Arena mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1668624708). If not the at least some props for it.
- Add Hellenism religion to go with Religions of the World mod (https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1645324706). With possible temple props.

Update news:

• Factions are now on steam
• the factions relation to the player are adjusted
• the Core mod doesn't longer overwrite research projects, these are patched

Download links remain the same

-a patch for Vegetable Garden should be easy but it will remove AR crops and food to not clutter the game with similar items(two diffrent olive trees with diffrent conditions might be irrtitating)
-I guess I must speak C# to make a pleasant result for mummification that isn't just a crafting recipe that includes just a corpse and other items. But jars and sarcophagi don't seem to be a problem to add.
-Religions are already on my imaginary list of things to add. Zororastism an Asatru will be includeded too.
-Doesn't Giddy up just support animal riding? But Roman equites or Alexanders companion cavalary might be an interesting addition.
-Musical instruments are a beautiful idea. I'll see what instruments there can be too, like the Greek double flute.
-There will be gladiator gear. But how does one change a prisoners apparel?

@koni

- I believe the apparel you just drop in the prison area after you strip them.

- That's great news about the Religions! A Persian faction would be so cool! Same with Viking!

- Well the way i see it i you want to make corpses of both humanoids and animal be mummified you would have it be a replace that just replaces them with a new object such as a mummy item. I don't know how it would save the data of the person but it would at least allow for mummies to be made. Should be just like the venom mod where instead of getting meat from a snake it gives you venom glands. Thus getting a mummy instead of meat.

- And yes you can ride any animal. I was just thinking of some sort of custom animal gear. They have saddles and armor. But make it have a chariot attached instead. or even just chariot decorative items.

- Oh yeah the pan pipes would be cool. A brass horn would also be cool (google Ancient Roman musical instruments).

- Well i do like the crops you have that aren't available in VG. So please keep those. Also once advantage of your grapes and olives vs VG is that your can be found in the while while VG don't. I play it as those are wild grapes and olives and VG's are domesticated.

@koni

More ideas for the Egyptian mod ...

- Ankh staff as a social item for Kemetism.
- Papyrus crop that could be used to make scroll in the RimWriter mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1521844535). Which i think would work if you just made it a textile.
- Various Pharaoh head dresses as hats.
- Hieroglyphic decorative walls.
- Obelisk
- Scarab Beetle scupture

I am currently running a game with this mod as the focus and am enjoying it so far, except for one issue: the shields are not able to be put in a storage zone or any other thing that uses the list of items. I believe they miss an xml tag to enable that.

I could fix it myself with some searching and maybe release a patch mod, but practically nobody will truly benefit from it and it will only clutter everybody's modlist.

I hope you can fix this issue, since it is annoying to have all the shields from raiders strewn around the map and having to resort to devmode to clean them up.

Thanks!

The mods (except for the Mediterranean Faction) are updated for bug fixes and a bit new content for the Orient.

All four mods are updated for RimWorld 1.1 but will work as before for 1.0
Features like wine fermenting and shields are disabled for the moment because required frameworks aren't up to date.
You now can find Egyptian sarcophagi in the Orient mod.

Egyptians now populate the Rim. Have fun with the new factions mod:
AR_OriFaction.7z (https://www.dropbox.com/s/fq7puh8i21ohdk1/AR_OriFaction.7z?dl=0)
You need to re-download the Oriental Edition, some  changes were made to support the faction.

With the recent April Fools mod Vanilla Vehicles Expanded  (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2043591062) it got me thinking. Its weird for cars to eat and make meat but no so weird for a Chariot. In short perhaps do just as they did in the mod. Just make a normal animal based on the horse but just have it include graphic of a chariot attached and done in a way for the pawn using Giddy Up mod to sit in the chariot correctly.

(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/616873171982876672/697545086149460079/char.png)
(Not intended to be used. Just giving an example of how it could be set up)

EDIT: Alternatively maybe it could use the Animal Armor mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1541439112) to equip the horse.

Wow so anyway guys, NVGs and tactical tactics.. Oh sorry wrong thread.

Hi I was asked by Hydromancerx to post these, he had no chariot textures since that side view he posted was all he had.

I went to sketchfab and made this with ease, took a 3D model, changed the view to basic colours and then I added black outlines. It's resolution is equal, higher than RimWorld but it's HQ. Hope it's of any use to you, cheers.
