Byzantine Early Units
I wasn’t too happy with the way early Byzantine units looked, so I decided to tweak them a little to make them feel more unique.
This mod features :
– Byzantine heavy infantry : a (mostly) historically accurate retexture of the Iberian unit pack light infantry model – threw in some pteryges, late Roman puttees and retextured the helmet into a Byzantine model from that time period. Also game them kite shields from the English unit pack that came with Monks and Mystics, and made them into spearmen because I think they look better that way (see screenshots for comparison). /! Don’t worry, this WON’T replace or interfere with the regular Iberian light infantry model.
– Light infantry : made them into swordsmen, gave them kite shields & a spangenhelm.
– Pikemen : gave them a different helmet + kite shields.
– Archers : gave them a proper helmet instead of that fur hat.
– Light cav : same model as the heavy infantry, with an Avar style lamellar helmet
– Heavy cav : gave them the cataphract model from the regular, mid-game Byzantine unit pack.
– Horse archers : different helmet.
This mod requires Charlemagne, Monks & Mystics, and the Iberian & Byzantine unit packs.
Be sure to let me know if anythings is or looks wrong.
