MRD Egyptian Army Expanded

v2.04

Hello again fellow Rome 2 fans!

This is my latest unit pack from my Expanded series, this time focusing on Egypt. I hope you enjoy it!
I’ll update this mod many times in the near future, adding more units and correcting any bugs I can lay my hands on 😀

List of contents:

1) NEW UNITS

Anubis’ Chargers – shock and attack infantry inspired by Age of Mythology Anubites. Can move as fast as cavalry on the campaign map. Devastating charge and attack strengh, while defense and armour are nothing to write home about. Very good stamina. Can be recruited from level 3 and 4 infantry attack buff building, limited to 1 per campaign and battle.

Horus’ Chosen – powerful hoplites who make up in defense skill for their lack of very powerful armour. Similar in strength to Carthaginian Sacred Band spearmen. Can be recruited from level 3 and 4 Horus Temples, limited to 1 per campaign and battle.

Sekhmet’s Daughters – female sword & shield infantry. Good at both offense and defense (stats may be changed over time). Can be recruited from level 3 and 4 imperial temples, limited to 1 per campaign and battle.

Egyptian Chariots – 2-horse chariots with spearmen. Also has javelins to throw.

Set’s Camels – elite spear & shield camelry of Set. Can be recruited from the level 3 and 4 cavalry buff building, limited to 1 per campaign and battle.

Late Egyptian Infantry – upgrade of Egyptian Infantry, available after researching Land Grant (Military Management)

Advanced Egyptian Infantry – upgrade of Late Egyptian Infantry, available after researching Weapon Proficiency (Military Tactics)

Late Egyptian Cavalry- upgrade of Egyptian Cavalry, available after researching Land Grant (Military Management)

Advanced Egyptian Cavalry – upgrade of Late Egyptian Cavalry, available after researching Tactical Flexibility (Military Tactics)

Advanced Egyptian Pikemen – upgrade of Egyptian Infantry, available after researching Weapon Proficiency (Military Tactics)

2) RESKINS
I have reskinned several vanilla units: Egyptian Infantry, Egyptian Cavalry, Egyptian Archers, Egyptian Slingers, Egyptian Javelinmen, Egyptian Pikemen.

3) NEW EGYPTIAN OFFICER SKINS
I have created an officer and a standard bearer sking specifically for the Egyptian native units. I hated to see Greek officers leading archaic looking Egyptian soldiers.

FUTURE PLANS:
Reskin Sobek Cultists.
Add some more religious units.
More shield patterns.
