Kaiser's reskin mod
This works for any DLV submod, or just DLV on its own.
Many unit skins for DLV suffer from problems, old skins, vanilla skins, poor Normal files and alpha channels. Mainly the European factions, with TaronQuinn and Taiji updating DLV with many units from Broken Crescent and Baltic Total War. Europe gets a bit left behind. So I have made it my intention to attempt to create better skins for vanilla units, skins of greater resolution. And better Normal alpha files, I will explain.
Here's a good skin in DLV for the feudal knight:

There is one thing above that has bugged me for ages, the reflections. Why does fabric reflect light?

England Alpha
The first version consist of only two sets of new skins, yet covers a large area of the English faction.
It will effect these units:
.National Levies
.Town militia
.Spear Militia
.Levy Spearmen
.Guisarme Militia
.Holibars
.Archer Militia
.Peasant Archers
.Longbowmen
The skins consist of more organic colours and since these units are all poor no emblems or symbols, these types of soldiers weren't uniformed. This will work in a way so that for example french militia will looks fairly similar to english ones. Knights and Professionals will be uniformed though.
Here are some early screens:

The shields are of course still ugly, and some parts of the unit. But torsos and arms are new.

These are not representations of the final product, they will be improved. And of course more skins will be replaced. Weapons, shields and more factions.
