Skyshock’s Nicaea Overhaul

The most OFFENSIVE Byzantine Overhaul mod for 1212AD you’ll ever have the glory of playing!

For all your dreams of restoring the True and Righteous – Empire of the Romans!

I did my best to stick to the history that is present as well as the Trends that would’ve continued should the Roman Empire survive past 1453, specifically in regards to the Turkish Populations migrating into Anatolia and arms and armors influenced by peoples of Anatolia, the Balkans, as well as the Italian settlers and Merchants of the Aegean.

Features:

Borrowed Nomadic Tribal buildings to allow for replenishment of Turkic Tribal Units.

Recruitable ALL TIERS of Kataphractoi Toxotes and Kataphractoi Hippotoxotes for the Empire of Nicaea.

+ Recruitable from all Military Settlement Centers from Castle onwards, all tribal buildings, and Standard Military
Recruitment grounds.

+ Recruits from TRIBAL Population.

Changed recruitement method for Nicaean Varangian Guards.

+ Tiers 1 and 2 require Foreigner Camp to recruit. Tier 3 requires Standard Military Camp.

Fixed issues with the Roman Rump States:

+ All Koursores and Megaloallagitai Units now use Cavalry Officers rather than Infantry Officers.
* There is an issue where trying to fix this in the non-earl mod is crashing the game, so this only applies to this
version of the mod.

New reskins for almost all Units for Nicaea!

Units included but not limited to:

– Hippo and Non-Hippo Vardariotai

– Paramonai

– Varangian Guard

– All Allagia Units

– Vigla

– Stratiotes, Cavalarii, and Hippoparamonai

– Hippotoxotes

– Officers

– Reskinned Katelanoi and Mourtatoi Guard!

– And MORE!

This Mod has extra mechanics related to the Spearmen of Nicaea.

– Changed How the Vigla work. T1 Vigla are changed to Medium Spearmen. Every technological upgrade, the stats of the Vigla decrease until you get to T3 where the Vigla are Light Spearmen.

– T1 Scoutatoi Spearmen have been renamed to simply "Scoutatoi" and are made into Medium Pikemen. This is to
reflect Imperial Doctrine of using long spears with two hands in formation fighting. T2 Megaloallagitai Spearmen
have also been changed to Medium Pikemen and are renamed to "Megaloallagitai Doryphoroi"

– T3 Megalloallagitai Spearmen renamed to "Megaloallagitai Skoutatoi".
