Roman Cataphracts! [Final Version]
This is the complete version of my Roman Cataphracts mod. This adds:
-a new unit called the "Catafractarii" for Rome in both the grand campaign and custom/multiplayer battles.
-a new level 5 barracks building for Rome where you can unlock the catafractarii
The unit has 30 different equipment variants (and 450 if you include the different spears and secondary weapons they can have), making it more detailed than most other units. There is minimal clipping and the model uses 2 compound helmets not found on any other unit in the game (as far as I know) and has a really unique look.
The unit is obviously shock cavalry and have access to swords and axes as back-up weapons. It has incredibly good stats but is very expensive and hard to get, and can be countered by pikemen and other traditional anti-shock cav units.
The main changes between this and the outdated version is that this adds many more models (and fixes an issue whereby the masked variant did not have chainmail around its face), a unique building for them and a unique unit card. This also slightly increases their armour.
Although the unit is used about 600 years too early in this mod I have tried to keep its equipment as historically accurate as possible, if there are any glaring inaccuracies please tell me so I can fix them.
If you have any modding requests, please tell me and I’ll see what I can do.
