A few developments underway,

1: Creating a font to go along with the current Roman pack: Trajan Capitals (Upper case) and Rustic Capitals (Lower case), and revamping the textures, primarily diamond armour to make it look more distinct from the iron armour. Netherite shall also be added eventually.

2: Under development right now is a Late Roman pack! Armour textures are nearly finished. Atm just using the weapon textures from my Roman pack as placeholders, but they shall be changed as well eventually. Going to try to add records, although I shall also release a version of a pack without them for people who prefer the default records. Font is also being created: Rustic Capitals (upper case) and Half-Uncial minuscules (lower case).

3: Future developments: 'Anglecraft': Anglo-saxon themed Vendel period/viking age pack. This pack will have an Insular font, a full set of armour textures based on historical Anglo Saxon and Norse Vendel period and Viking age armours. Don't want to give too much away but several historical helmets found in England will be included, such as the Sutton Hoo (gold), Yarm (iron), and Coppergate (chainmail) helmets.

All this will probably take quite a while, I'm a one-gal show lol, so your patience would be much appreciated.

Interesting sounding project[​s]

Wondering at the prominent Chi-Rho symbol as it's not something I think of as particularly Roman even after Theodosius…

I elected to go with the chi-rho as it is a recognizable late-Roman symbol, seen in period art on both shields and standards. As well, I did not go with an imperial eagle or byzantine double-eagle as it would look too similar to my original early imperial roman pack.

Thx for the explanation: product differentiation makes a deal of sense.
(Back when I was first learning history this symbol was generally considered as primarily a Christogram… )
