[RELEASED] KLA's Faction Leaders Mod 1

[KLAssurbanipal]

KLA's Attila - Faction Leaders Mod (Kings & Emperors)

This is a reskin started faction leaders - kings and emperors.

In Vanilla version of the game faction leaders look strange. Some of them look like ordinary soldiers (for example, Frankish leader).
I decided to change them.

New faction leaders have changed elements - helmets, caps, armors, clothes, shields. I added my own reskins.
I made a lot of changes based on historical sources. Following are some of the changes.
You will find lots of forgotten by CA elements such as bronze muscled cuirass and pteruges for Roman Emperors.
The leader of the Alans is no longer Germanic. He looks like a nobleman from Sarmatian tribe.
Bahram IV - Sassanid king now has light skin and a hairstyle for Sassanian coins.
Vandals leader doesn't look like a standard warrior, because he has now a helmet and armor.

Change is much more. I wrote them in detail in the preview.

[flippers]

This is amazing, love that wolf mask on Jutes

[Delicate Strawberry]

These look amazing.

Would it be possible to make a 2D compatible version?

[Baron Ace]

wow! thats really great work, def going to use this. is there any way to show how you did this? i tried to make some changes to the faction leaders myself but they would revert to the generic armor when a new leader would emerge, would you know why?

[Baron Ace]

yeah the new faction leader reverts to the old clothes with your mod too

[MattHelm]

[MattHelm]

Sorry about the empty post, can't delete on tapatalk apparently...

Great work!

[miTo82]

Wow, that Looks great! But there is one illogical thing:

The Geat faction leader now wears a helmlet with the "chainmail face protection", BUT in his right Hand he is holding another helmlet. I am not very experienced with ancient armor, but I think wearing two helmlets is not very favourable in combat :-P

Although I think thet the geat faction leader has the coolest head of all the leaders in the game and you cant see it anymore because of the new helmlet... =)

[Beorix]

Overall a nice work , but i have the same remark as above, plus :
- Caledonian leader now don't look anymore as a King, rather like a simple peasant !
- ERA Emperor wears a muscular cuirass ,is that historically correct/plausible at this period ? his hat is horrible as well :p

[Verzione]

Great mod!

I have a question though. Could you maybe make an individual download for each faction leader so we could choose which one(s) to have?

Cheers

[pouya2]

the link not work http://www.mediafire.com/error.php?e...eaders_Mod.rar

[SharpEyed]

Cool mod, good job

Thou I didnt like some but they are surely more realistic now, also these are only for starting leaders i guess?

Lastly, Geats are not Christian (at start anyway) but the Faction leader has "Gammadion" on his shield, i think it should be removed from there.

Have a good one

[ercandemirci]

Nice job

[Fedual]

2 complaints only:

- Please change the cloth hat on the Eastern Roman Emperor to something else, or have him wear nothing at all on his head

- The leader of the Geates both has a helmet on his head and holds a helmet in his hand, it looks odd


Other than those two things it is an amazingly well done reskin!

[BalrogOfMorgoth]

Amazing !

[jamreal18]

I cant see the pictures... =(

[Noif de Bodemloze]

I like most of faction leaders skins except ERE faction leader... I don't like his hat. :C

[Jin-]

Mediafire link is dead

Like all except ERE

[PhilipO'Hayda]

Hopefully sumone changes the name of the High King of Ebdanians.
The High King of Ireland at the time is Niall and The Nine Hostages

Can anyone post another download link, please? Interesting mod, I can see many leaders improved. But the Mediafire file seems removed and already for 3 days I get the message "Sorry, but you have exceeded your daily download limit" or something similar with the forum link.
