To download, you need to put some incomprehensible program download something extra, automatically, among downloaded spyware. Why, you can not put a file-pack?

Wow... this unit reskins are just AMAZING!!!

I have tried some reskin mods the last days, but I have to say, I like yours the most! Very good Job.

And If I use the "reskin only" download it is compatible with other mods as I see so far (like Fall of the eagles). I only have to load your mod first in the Mod Manager... *thumbs up*

Have you plans for similar mods in the future? Maybe for other factions / tribes too (germanic tribes for example)??

But Can you please make the mod compatible with: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-Huns-released!
And for a strange reason..... the Berserk are invisible.

all in one version is not downloadable so i cant test compatibility right now but these mods should work together

invisible berserkers should be caused by another mod overwriting main_units_tables or unit_variants_tables -> you could try to download the newer versions with fixed names to avoid load order issues

as far as i can see the only isue with my units is the melee attack rating or am i missing something?

reskin only works fine with fall of the eagles

no reskins planned in the near future but you never know... my total war is 80% modding and 20% playing

i have created 14 mods now (most are small balancing changes) but this was my first upload

Hate to ask but, can i have just the units. No skins or icons. Just the units?

I have a rather unusual request and don't expect you to follow up on it, XtrufrE, but let me write it down:

I watched the latest episode of History Channels "Vikings" and noticed that the shields and clothing are mostly following practical designs, not artistical ones. They are warriors. Their clothes get bloody, their shields break so it strikes me as rather realistic that they don't spend hours and hours to paint unique pictures on their shields.

So my request would be for a less colorful version of your reskin, with fokus on rather simple shapes on the shields and not as brightly colored clothing. A bit better than vanilla, but not as sophisticated as your regular version. The amount of differently colored and marked shields could also rise from lower tier units to elite units I guess.

I feel that this would be more realistic. I might be wrong as I'm not a historian, so please correct me if you know more.

And again, it's your work and asking you to scale it down is rather odd, I know. Absolutely up to you if you wanna try this or not.

Great looking mod, but I'd recommend changing the name of the "Gauti Horse Raiders" to "Geatic Horse Riders". A small thing, but it would be a nice addition.

Also, is there any chance of the Radious compatible version giving the Valkyries parthian shot? Or maybe a Radious unit only pack? Demanding I know.

called them gauti horse raiders to sound a bit more special. when i first created the unit i had another use for it in mind (suebi swordsmen, alani general, scirii warriors)

radious balanced + parthian shot + geatic horse raiders

Damn that was fast. Thanks a lot man. It would be a good idea to put these other versions alongside the others on the main post, incase others wanted them too. (If you've not already done so)

Forgot to say, a Radious version with just the units (with parthian shot) would be good. The reskin is great, but the emblems don't work properly with me. :/

Great work.

Sorry but I dont seem to be able to download, all I get is that terrible spyware. Feel stupid, but could someone tell me how to download the files?

Great mod, one of the best i have seen yet

I will have to ask, as i am not so experienced with mods, is this save game compatible?

Great work mate!

I would suggest you to post this:

Reskin + New Units Radious balanced
raxis_viking_forefathers_reskin_for_radious.rar

in the Radious Submod Section : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forum...ious-Total-War

So your mod will be more visible and noticeable to Radious Mod Players

You could also use this nice mod: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...h-real-weapons-!!!
