    woooooooowwww !! amazing !!! + rep !

    real Georgian armors and faces !

    remember, Georgian army concept should be MIX Byzantium, Caucasasian (Georgian) and a bit east military culture and traditions.

    in medieval Georgian army, was not AXEMEN units divisions, this units are pretty and amazing, but is better to name them - Dismounted Monaspa but with swords. Monaspa was elite, regular Royal soldier. in future we need also Monaspa cavalry too, they were havy cavalrymen, with spears, swords and with bows. Monaspa was also as General bodyguard.

    can I make Georgian faction total information? or we must wait more units and map?

    P.S.

    this Georgian cavalry is missile cavalry or they are with lancers/ spears ?

    Thanks man! Feel free to post whatever information you want here! I need ideas on unit types and shields/banners for now! Especially names to call these units. Georgian Cavalry is just so bland! I'm looking for ideas for when I start working on more units!

    Oh, right now the Georgian cavalry has spears, but's that's only because I didn't have time to work on their models yet. I just placed the skins on the Boyar Sons to see how they looked in the game.

    They should have lances, no? If so, I will work on the model tonight!

    Cheers!

    Edit - Will change the axe unit to a sword unit tonight or so!

    nice work here...I am glad that Tadzreuli makes us aware about what is happening about new mods in TW concerning Georgia.

    I too recommend adding mounted spearmen as an unit and archers, you need some archers man.

    Any way, these units look quite realistic and fair, but there a huge work also awating you.

    ok, in the end I want to comment about shields - you need some extra patters for them. As far as I counted down there are only three of them. you need 3 or more extra patters additionaly and same amount of banners also.

    I am glad thet another mod is coming on with the Georgian Kingdom. I am pleased with your work and will try to give you some extra suggestions throught creaton of this mod.

    GOOD JOB!

    Thanks for the feedback, mate! And yes, I'm aware there's quite a lot of work ahead of me!

    Yeah, last night was my first attempt so I didn't get around to adding more shields yet. But I will. Have you any suggestions on patterns?

    And maybe I'll work on Archers tonight if I get the chance. Georgia would have horsearchers, right? What kind of armour for foot archers?

    Alright, thanks again for taking the time to post! Appreciate your comments! Take care!

    ok, let me just gather all I have got for now. I have a Bagrationi family Coat of Arms...You can use it on banners I guess so:



    not so colorfull, but still yet giving you somthin in the begginning.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    These are Khevsur Infantry, with swords and round shilds. They represented a special division in Georgian Army. This represent a bit modern age, but armor stayed as it was before:



    And armor itself:



    These are Khevsurs from another TW mod, which you can use also:


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is modern Coat of Arms, but I suggest to print St.George in the middle on a banner of Tadzreuli knights:


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    You can use a crosss of this shape on banners or shields:


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This type of Cross is the most ancient found in Georgian bareliefs, so I suppose you can freely use it on shields:


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------



    There is lot one can provide information about Georgia. I suppose we should get on it step-by-step. I will provide you with information as I will see any improvement can be done. But you are free to ask as much as you want to know; me and Tadzreuli would be eager to answer your questions.


    Great Job mate, I really like your models and it can form a great figurines for the mod.

    RESPECT!

    this is my finish genarl info about Georgia

    regions and cities: Egrisi (Kutatisi), Tao (Artanuji), Kartli (Uphlistsikhe)
    Roayl dinasry – Bagrationi

    P.S. - Tbilisi (old capital of Georgia, located in province Kartli, was under Turkish control at 1080 AD)

    Ruler family at 1080 –

    Mephet Mephe (King of Kings) –
    George II Bagrationi (reigned 1072-1089) – 38 year

    Dedopali (Quin) – wife, Elena – 35 year

    Mephe (King) – son, David Bagrationi - 7 year


    Short description of Sakartvelos Samepo (kingdom of Georgia) and political situation at 1080 AD.:

    In 1001 Georgian king Bagrat III Bagrationi united all Georgian principalities - principality of Kakheti, Abkhazian reign, principality Tao-Klardzheti and principality of Kartli into the united reign and in the Caucasus was formed new dominant power, the strong, centralized feudal state - Kingdom of Georgia (Sakartvelos Samepho). Georgian one of most is ancient of the modern peoples of world, having its statehood from the time of Kingdom of Colchis (from XII-VIII BC). In 319 ad to year Georgian became Christianity as state religion. Georgian alphabet one of 14 original alphabet in the world, created in V-III BC.

    Georgian Apostolic Ortodoxal Church, based by apostles Andrey and by Simeon of Cana, became autocephaly in V century. Besides Georgia, great Georgian religion centers were based in Jerusalem, in Greece, in Cyprus, in Sinaye, in Egypt, in Syria and Palestine.

    Most might, power and developments feudal Georgian reign reached in XI-XIII century, under the rule of the royal dinasty of Bagrations, from whom Georgia guided such famous to entire world monarchs, as David IV "the Builder"(r.1089-1125) and quin Tamara the Great (r. 1184-1213).
    The might of Georgian Kingdom founded on the great military traditions, developed feodal economic infrastructure of the country into that epoch and certainly wise of the administration of the kings of dynasty Bagrations.

    Before David IV the Builder has come on a throne in 1089, Georgia was ruled by his father George II Bagrationi, at this time in Georgia there was a heavy political situation. After invasion of Turks-Seldjuks in 1068, imperial authority of the Georgian king extended only on western, southern and on a part of east Georgia. Strategic Georgian cities and fortresses in east Georgia, such as Tbilisi, Samshvilde and Rustavi occupied by Seljuks, in Georgian regions Kakheti and Hereti ruled by local separated Georgian feudal lords. George II Bagrationi defeated army of Seljuks sultan Malik Shah in the battle of Phartskhisi in 1072, but it did not suffice for full win above the pulling enemy of Georgia, except for it the Georgian king should win internal rebellious feudal lords, strengthen the central imperial authority, develop a national economy and carry out associations of all Caucasus under the Georgian crown and then direct the armies to other countries for expansion of the Georgian empire.

Although Christianity already had long ago been taken root among the mountaineers, ancient heathen customs are still very strong among the Svanians clans. The faith in Christ is nearby with the heathen altars, the cult Hittite -Subarian god to Telepinu and terrible Lasharela, the gloomy patron of soldiers, which rushes among the mountains on its horse... Svans the skillful hunters and pathfinders, from the earliest times they composed the impact force of the armies of Colchis, then Lazika-Egrisi and united Georgia. When there is no war, Svans frequently quarrel between themselves, blood vengeance as before acts among the snow-covered mountains of Svaneti. But sometimes Svans forget their quarrels. This occurs, when external enemy attacks in Georgia. In Georgia they indicate that if you send by war on Svaneti, then to you it remains to hope on gentlemen of God, because besides it, you already no one will help!
