The most vital part of Reign of Olympia will be it's human base model. At the moment, I am working on the male human base model, and once that is completed, it will be some time before I move on to create playable human females. The main reason for this is that in Ancient Greece, in most city-states, women were opressed and forced to live inside for most of their lives. Also, it means less work for me for a while. Eventually you'll get to roleplay your prostitutes and lesbians, don't worry 
First I downloaded a royalty free model from Turbo Squid. Next I had to cleanup the mesh (removing mouth interior and unecessary eyelashes). I cut the head from the torso and decimated each seperately, leaving the face with much of the original detail while removing alot from the body where it is less necessary.
Before texturing or animating, I am going to create several modification meshes to attach to the base model. These will be all "clothing" item types, from cloth wrap, actual clothing, leather armour, and plate armour. All modifications to the human mesh like this will be stored in the same blender file for easy animation reference.
Here are some of the clothing items I wish to make for the human mesh:
Basic newbie clothing.
More expensive cloth, for philosophers, priests, politicians...
A selection of items I want to make for warriors and fighters.
Some more cloth apparel.
Hoplite armour.
I'll post updates as I go. Don't be afraid to ask questions about this stuff.
