Hellenic Units for Illyria
This is a simple mod that allows you to build some existing hellenics units for the illyrian factions and enables more General’s unit. It doens’t add new units, just enables existing ones.
It also pretends to give a more unique looks yet remaining historical, throught the modification of the units skins, using disk armour and leather linothorax, more proper for the region.
These enablement are not historical, they are more oriented to reflect the adoption of epirote and macedonian tactic, due to expansion into their regions or due to cultural exchange through campaign gameplay.
The modification of the naval crews is based in a more historical knowledge, to give them proper naval prowess, as they were feared by their pirates and "lyburnians" (an illyrian birreme).
The skin modification, like the crews, is also based on historical and bibliographical resources.
This mod should be compatible with any vanilla (Emperor Edition) and "Playable factions mod" savegame.
