Description:

This submod introduces cosmetic and small animation changes to the AE Roman polybian/socii infantry units and officers:

1. Hastati and principes will more often carry the early and late versions of the gladius. Early variants will still retain the Greek xiphos sword to stay in line with the campaign tech tree.

2. All hastati will have a chest plate in the early variant. No longer will they be seen without any body armor.

3. Hastati and principes helmet variants have been adjusted to resemble their update 2.0 versions.

4. Early socii infantry units will carry either the Greek xiphos or kopis swords, whereas some previously carried a mid-Republic gladius. Everything else cosmetically remains unchanged for the socii infantry.

5. Roman Republican officers have been adjusted to better fit the equipment of the unit they are tied to.

6. All Roman Republic melee infantry will now march in the ‘low-ready’ stance, similar to their update 2.0 form.

THIS SUBMOD DOES NOT MODIFY UNIT BALANCING!
