Immersive Campaign: Greek States Pyrrhus of Epirus Faction Leader Reskin (Standalone)
Anyone who is playing the Vanilla Grand Campaign and wants to feel more immersed in the campaign map playing as the Epirus, the Greek States or as any faction interacting with the Greeks.
Exactly as described on the tin: Enhances the Faction leader of Epirus by reskinning them to a more historical feel by using existing vanilla assets, without going overboard. This only changes the Faction leader, nothing else.
Because I never found any mod that did what I wanted it to do – and be standalone.
I took inspiration from the marble bust found in the Villa of the Papyri located in Hercalineum, which has so far been the only bust ever found of Pyrrhus. I took further inspiration from historical depictions of the Epirote army during this time period, and coins with Pyrrhus’ image.
In addition, Plutarch writes in Pyrrhus’ Biography that he was famous for his Horned Greek Helmet, which is what I gave him.
Using the vanilla assets I modelled him as best I could while staying true to the in-game feel. The only downside is that Creative Assembly didn’t bother implementing a unique front-end faction leader for each faction (although they did create them for the launch factions, just never properly implemented them ingame). This means that you will unfortunately see this particular general skin pop up at different greek factions as a generic general. Nothing I can do about that unfortunately.
Nope – it only changes the textures of Epirus’ Faction leader – this is meant for Vanilla.
I personally play this with a 12 Turn Per Year mod enabled.
