Eldorien's Serbian Unit Roster [New Units Preview 27/12/14]

[Eldorien88]

Hello All!
~For those of you who are familiar with my project, its a work
started for my own game play but from now on its officially part of the SSHIP mod in order to produce a more unified and better roster for Serbia.
The units presented are not finalised and will be continuously modified in order to be more accurate and approach in the best way the current medieval era.
So hope you enjoy the work so far and feel free to suggest, comment or even better provide us with accurate and clear sources about the arms and armours of the Serbian Medieval Kingdom.~
~Cheers~

Some further Notes

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

~All base resources regarding to models come from the Rusishi team so credits to them.
~Many parts of the models and textures presented are in several cases completely modified and some made by me.
~All Shields involved (models and textures) come from various internet sources, which have been modified accordingly by me and are newly introduced also.
~According to Historic accuracy, as it is a siggnificant aspect for everyone,
my basic sources come from wikipedia, who describe some details of the arms and armours of Serbian Medieval Warriors
and a few images scattered on the internet.
~Skins and Models are constantly reworked, so until the release of this sub-mod the images presented may look different from time to time.

Looks pretty, but... is that guy carrying four swords?!

[Eldorien88]

Yes he is! Armed and dangerous..

[The Despondent Mind]

I thought this was historical IMPROVEMENT project...

[+Marius+]

But but...4 longswords?

Why?

[Eldorien88]

Ok this knight in game is armed with 2 longswords and 2 swords two-handed, one in back and one in hands. Later i ll post some in game pics....
I prefer giving a unit more weapons than small equipment, but this is something that is easy to change, from my point i like it this way better.
According to historical accuracy, i haven't found many sources-images to have something to work on,
only the knowledge that medieval Serbian units were a mixture of Byzantine-Balkan influence, so i tried to work on that...
Anyway, Thanks for your comments!

To me, unit look very good. Just too many weapons

[Lifthrasir]

Nice look but as mentioned above, the main purpose of SSHIP is historical accuracy. 4 swords is unrealistic, no matter which unit is concerned. If you want us to use your work (and receive the credit accordingly), you will have to correct your models to stick to reality (or very close to it). Overwise, we won't accept them.

Anyway and on the graphic side, I appreciate your work.

The unit overall looks great , just remove the 3 swords, I eagerly await the other units

All comments are welome, but i dont think i ever said that i wanted you to use my work
I just said that this is my work for a Serbian roster and i just wanted to share it with you..
Ofcourse this doesnt mean that if you like to work together i would say no, or if i have the time to do it, to say yes...
Anyways, as i said, everybody's opinion is welcomed and always considered..
So i give you another preview of the same knight without the longswords but with one in back and a two-handed in arms and in his upgrated form.
Thanks for appreciating !

Eldorien,

You will need to make your mind up, whether you want to your work to be involved with SSHIP, if not I will move this thread to sub mods, as it will have no relevance here in SSHIP.

Anyways i think its better to move this thread to sub-mods because i dont want any misunderstandings to happen, my intensions are only good..
Do as you see better friend!

Sorry for any troubles, Cheers!

I think this is simply a submod for a submod for a mod?

So it is the right place. Because in SS6.4 there is no serbia, ergo the SS/Submods section doesn't really make sense..

He's not involved in the SSHIP (yet), so I would just add a [submod] tag to the title and it should be fine?

My work is based on your project [SSHIP]
Thats why i opened this thread in here at first place
But as i said, in order to avoid any misunderstandings you may do as you like

[Eldorien88]

Work continews.. 1st post updated with some in game pics...

[Larkin]

They look really cool

[b257]

Much better now with the two hip swords removed . I can't wait to see what else you made.

[Eldorien88]

Comments very much appretiated!
Another preview of a Serbian line Swordsmen.. 1st post updated!
Some in game pics will follow later..

[b257]

Looks great, though I'd recommend removing the sheathed short sword, maybe a small dagger perhaps?

[umbracatervae777]

nice texture

maybe the additional long sword can be altered by small dagger plus with some equipment like bag, bottle, etc. like rusichi units
it will be cooler
