Skidvar’s General Overhaul (Grand Campaign)
USE WITH 2D GRAPHICS SETTINGS FOR BEST RESULTS
TRY IT WITH THE COLOURED UNIT CARDS & UI IF YOU ONLY USE VANILLA UNITS
Here is an overview of what this mod is about:
Total graphical overhaul (2D & 3D) of all vanilla generals with background images (both for statesman & commander), based on subculture rather than faction (Rome II style)
Added 2D background for all agents (including generals), wives, & kids
Added 2D & 3D statesmen uniforms for Attila (when not faction leader), Ybor, & Ollam Ri
Bugfixes (Ybor spam for Alamans, wrong matches, etc.)
New general graphics (statesman/lower level/higher level/faction leader) for all cultures. As a rule each general has one upgrade at level 4, which creates more diversity in characters.
Total amount of generals per culture beside the starting faction leader for playable characters:
30 barbarian (vs 17 in vanilla)
22 nomadic (vs 17 in vanilla)
22 roman (vs 17 in vanilla)
22 axum & garamantes (vs 17 in vanilla)
22 eastern (vs 18 in vanilla)
In this mod I also include a fix for the known Ybor ssue, Ybor spamming at the Alamans, a bug that has been bothering me a lot. I also fixed an issue for the Alamans, Langobards, & Burgundians where a character got a completely different facial appearance when becoming faction leader. This was also very comon for Axum characters. Worst of all, almost all Thanukid faction leaders in vanilla have no arms & legs, which was also addressed.
Because of the extensive 2D work in this mod, 2D mode becomes very attractive and I suggest you try it out. In vanilla there is a serious bug in the diplomacy screen with it. The picture of the faction leader on the right is mirrored, but the masks are not, with the exception of the first one, which gives a weird glitch effect for several characters. This mod uses a workaround for that, i.e. all faction leaders only use mask 1.
Save-game compatible. This mod is pretty safe to use and one can always revert to the vanilla settings without harming the savegame, so no reason not to try it out.
Compatible with all mods for the Grand Campaign that do not edit the graphics of characters in the grand campaign.
Simply untick in campaign launcher when this mod appears incompatible or is not what you expected.
This mod is for the Grand Campaign only. I had to cut out the data of other campaigns, because otherwise the mod would be too big. It is already 180MB.
