Are there any sources for the "fake viking" horned helmets of the kartvelian warriors? They look really weird and impractical.
The last helmet posted is already in game; it's a find from the other side of the Caucasus, and is present in the NW circassians and some Sauromatian units.
Speaking of weird and impractical helmets, well the Ligurian one looks pretty damn weird too--and we have a bronze example of that one coming from a Ligurian necropolis. I don't think the impractical argument holds water here given that we already have weirder looking ones in game. The helmets are based off local figurines found in areas where there wasn't an interruption in material culture AFAIK; Arjos originally suggested it after posting pictures of the figurines for use in the Chaldian unit, but Sarkiss(our Armenia specialist) suggested that they be saved for the Kartveli instead. At any rate...The latest version of the Kartveli has that helmet as the rarest type.
Putting this kind of helmet in a whole unit from a figurine without any context is like putting this helmet on the heads of viking raiders:

i was fortunate, for there exists a brief testimony from Xenophon for the unit i worked on and he would have surely mentioned this original helmet type if it applied. the find itself is from the area further north east so it made sense to reserve this, if it is to be used, for the unit from that locale. unfortunately, not all unit designs are backed by the supporting written sources and oftentimes the evidence we do have is scant and necessarily requires a degree of conjecture.

Anything?
Does it take so long to take screenshots ?
It does if you want good quality ones. My rig is crap for visuals, people will just be complaining about how bad the quality is if I get them myself.
Can't wait to see the new units!
Send me the current built and I will take some

Something else we've been working on.
I just counted, there are 10 fully-integrated, but un-previewed units.
Sod it, crappy images captured by my rig it is.
Is it a symbol from a anatolian figurine like these ones?

Or a caucasian figurine?

Or is it a symbol from central Europe?

I will bet on an caucasian faction like Colchis or Kartli.
