Kingdom of Kartli (Caucasian Iberia), discussion for adding in next version of RS

[tone]

Just working some Caucasian Iberian units into a free peoples pseudo-faction at the moment.

We'll certainly be getting a fair few of the suggested units in although not necessarily using these exact weapons.

[Cyphon88]

Surely if people want to really see this then it could be created as a mod for a swap faction?

[tone]

Well, we've just made that a whole lot easier!

[Cyphon88]

you have? I skipped most of this thread and with RL getting in the way i've lost track of RS and RS related developments

[tone]

Just saying that quite a few Caucasian Iberian units are going to be in there as some local opposition to Armenia, Pontus and I guess the Seleucids.

[Blackshamrock.]

Its an intresting idea, But I can bearley keep up with rs 2 never mine rs ibera. But m8 well done hope it all works out.
