Unit Types Reskin
Reskin of existing in the game units (with the use of base game assets) to achieve visual variety between heavy and light infantry, so that you would easily see – these guys are definitely lightly armored and these are surely heavy ones. Also, Greek heavy infantry uses spears like they should.
Yeah, I know, it is still horrific from the perspective of actual history, but I tried to remain as close to it as possible while being restricted by assets, I had at my disposal. Anyway, some visual variety here and there won’t hurt.
Currently reskinned: all base game units & all existing DLC units (Upd.11.03.20 – right now Indian, Nubian and Numidian units are returned back to being unchanged).
Future plans: to add specific models (nope, still not going to draw anything, I’m useless as an artist or modeller) to some nations, like Greek colonies all over Mediterranean, probably some Italic nations too. Also, I’m going to update the mod with the new PDX assets, they would add with new DLCs.
Thanks to MadGod and his "More Hellenic Flavor Armies" mod without which I had little chances to reverse engineer method.
Big thanks to Xangelo7 and MrAdrianPL and their "Chronicles of Omniluxia" mod – custom unit models there are insanely cool and it was very nice of these guys to allow me use their work here. Also, structure of their mod parts related to the units also helped me to reorganize a bit my own mess of a mod, so I would have way less problems with expanding it in the future.
Compatibility: probably with everything – pure graphics mod. Due to same reasons – should work with Ironman.

If you see any problem, like incorrect working animation (missing shield/weapon where they should be and etc.) – please, report it here – I definitely need some playtesting of everything.
