Under Perun’s Light: Slavic reskin

The first time the Early Slavs were recorded was in 6th century in historical accounts made by the Eastern Romans. Due to this lack of historical records, not much was known about these people or their origin; this unique society was shrouded in mystery and mythbuilding. One of the few things that was known about them is that they were hardy and tough people, Roman historian Procopius writes the following about them:

"For they are all exceptionally tall and stalwart men […] And they live a hard life, giving no heed to bodily comforts…"

The 6th century proved, despite fierce resistance from other tribes and the ravages of the huns years prior, to be a period of expansion for the Slavic nations and people.The people of the Eurasian steppe such as the Scythians, Alans, and Sarmatians were absorbed into Slavic civilisation. They expanded to the west, from Eastern Europe to the river Elbe and south towards the Balkans; conquering the Illyrians and Thracians in the process. Over the dark age period, the Slavs made history and proved to be one of the most important historical societies in the forming of Christian and contemporary Europe.

This mod is a complete reskin overhaul of the historically important Slavic factions. All land units, naval units and faction leaders have been reskinned. Generals and officers will be reskinned at a later point as they are tied to the other germanic and barbarian factions.

A lot of work has been put into making realistic Slavic soldiers and infantry, bringing a variety in armours, shields, weaponry, and equipment. With this you get a unique experience playing as the Slavs on the battlefield.

I have made this mod compatible with WhyXelzink’s Slavic Officers mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1484982995
