HCP’s Ardiaei: Reskins, New Units and Fixes!
Pirates! Raiders! Shock Infantry! Oh my!
The Illyrians, specifically the Ardiaei, were total badasses. When they weren’t fighting each other they were raiding the Adriatic for plunder and conquering neighboring kingdoms (I’m looking at you Macedon). Renowned warriors that they were, its a shame that they are represented so poorly by CA.
New units:
Archer/melee stealth unit. Wielding Sica (thanks to Sebidee!) and small shields, these troops can engage enemies from a distance and can handle themselve’s in melee against light troops. Recruitable at woodworker II.
Mace melee cavarly, with "Use the Whip," recruitable at slave market III.
Heavy Shock Infantry. Raid leaders, distinguished veterans and minor nobles clad head to toe in armor and weilding terrifying 2h maces. Recruitable from Tier IV Artisan.
Reskins:
All units, generals, and politicians have been reskinned with unique Illyrian textures by legend Kraut and Tea!
QoL fixes: Illyrian Levies and Marines can now be recruited from the Military Port building chain (Tier 2 and 3+4 respectively). This is lore-friendly (seafarers, duh), unique to the Ardiaei, and a huge help for their difficult early game by freeing up a precious building slot for economic/public order buildings.
Feedback is always welcome!
