A (Hopefully) Small and Completely Unnecessary Request

So, I wanted to make a (hopefully) small request for a very specific and odd piece of vanity gear. The laurels on Greek helmets. A lot of them run front to back, face to rear, like you see in Greek Spearman or Hypaspists now . Some run side to side, shoulder to shoulder, like the treasure Hoplites or Prodromos. I really like the side to side ones, I think they look more Greek and the front-facing ones look more Roman than Greek. Would it be possible to maybe one day add ones that go side to side and match Greek Legendary colors as vanity helms one day? I know it’s superfluous and whatnot, but it’d really improve my enjoyment of the Greek Civ.

Thank you for the consideration! I know y’all are busy, so I get it may never happen, but you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

 

Yeah, I’ll try to take a screenshot later.

 

I’ve never uploaded pictures before, so forgive any issues please.

The first image shows four units, facing forward. The two on the left, the Gastraphetes and the Prodomos, have the Laurels in their helmets in the style I like, the two on the right, the Hippikon and Hoplite, do not.

The second image shows the same units facing towards the side. Note the laurel on the helmets (the featherish part is called the laurel, right?) and how it’s oriented.

The third image shows the Gastraphetes helmet changing after it upgrades into a Champion, maddeningly.

I was simply saying it’d be nice if someday somehow there was a vanity helmet emulating the style of the Gastraphetes in the first image. I know it’s frivolous, but I’d very much enjoy it. That’s all.

 

Yes! That’s the word. Sorry. I’ve been working twelve hour days for two months now, and it’s made me stupid.

 

That’s a bummer. I figured it was a long shot, but thought I’d throw it out there.

I’m not trying to argue the point here, but I am curious. How does a vanity helm changing the direction of the crests violate some kind of sacred cow in a game where my archers currently have snowmen heads? Especially given that Hoplites with the different crests are already represented in game by the treasure Hoplites? Again, not looking to argue, I get that there are other things that need development resources more, I’m just curious as to the thought process here.

 

That all I was asking. Just the consideration, nothing more. I appreciate it.
