Visual – Overhaul for most Units

A visual overhaul of most units in the game.

Focus on making units more appealing and unique, while maintaining readability.

The mod began with putting beards back on Dwarfs and removing the Reaver facemasks.

Many female units were turned male. It makes for a more believable and coherent look for a medieval army.
Ofc leaders and specific units (Awakener, Furies, Lightseeker, Wildspeaker, Steelshapers, etc.) are still female,
but rank and file Magelocks and Archers are male now.

In the gallery you find many examples of the improved visuals.

I strongly recommend the Mod "Dwarfs have beards" by >>>Grumpy Old Dwarf<<<

This mod was my inspiration.
I put beards on all Dwafs (even the Great Bombard), but I could not put beards on Evokers.
I could not find the Modularity for Evokers in the game files.
The mod fixes that.

Please give me feedback and ideas.

I’ve been playing through Empires and Ashes with this mod and it has been a delight seeing all my customised units in action.

I wish everyone a merry christmas and lots of fun looking into my mod.

Highlights:

Reaver Culture > Conquistador look

Dark Knights > New helmets and glowing eyes

Dwarf Tome Units > awesome beards

Berserkers > more intimidating and powerful look (they look Tier 3 now)

Industrious Culture > uniform look, with helmets that help to distinguish between Unit Tiers

New looks for male Transmuters, Warlocks, Pyromancers and many Archer units

Getting rid of helmets that would not fit over a beak, beard, snout or big Goblin nose

New Eagle Rider with Winged Helmet

Mount armor on exotic mounts and powerful knightly units
