[shawn858]

We are giving our feedback, why is it not needed to speak up if you have some feedback to give if i may ask? Just because: "Its not a matter of what YOU like" does not mean it cannot be changed, or made a separate version were the ERE emperor does not wear a hat.

I am not saying it has to be changed, just that some of us would like to see it changed. And again, why the heck do you say it is not needed to complain about the hat? Just because it is historical and maybe Arcadius himself wore it we should all be quiet even though we do want to offer some constructive feedback?

Fortunately for us KLAssurbanipal is not you, and i am sure he will apreciate our feedback, wether he decided to change it or not is his decision.

Impressive work!

One thing I would like to draw your attention to, the Geats leader. He's wearing a helmet and holding another helmet in his hands. Helmetception?

[Mortarion]

Most of them look better before imo, except for Attila, the Alan leader and the Ebdani leader looks amazing great job on that one. But some of the changes i don't like personally, still im sure alot of people do so great mod

[♔Old Dragoon♔]

Nice work KLA! They look dazzling and loading up now!

[Penda the Mercian]

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... =)

True þæt^

Also, I noticed that the Saxon leader now has a blue tunic, could you change the cloak and tunic to be green like before?

Anyway, great mod!

Thank You
Very Nice Mod

I'm an Iranian and in our Historical references, Color of Sassanian Clothes are Red.

[Biennius]

Very nice mod indeed KLA. The alan leader looks amazing!

Is there a turorial or step by step guide on how to do this wich you can point me to?

[Aguirre]

Superb work mate, and Im very glad to see that you exist in Attila too!

[DramaBelli]

Great job KLA, thanks

[Ministry]

Great mod indeed! May I suggest a KLA Faction Leaders and Heirs Mod next? The issue with the leaders is that they die too soon (Dag for example) and then the heir is boring looking (Stilicho for example). After they die, your good work goes with them, let it continue!

[Laeg]

Love the mod. Two things:

Just to add on to the extra helmet with the Geats issue. If you go to the Summary Tab, the helm then is just floating about:

Secondly, this is the sad part. Once the original leader passes, the heirs don't get to keep these updated uniforms. Reverts to vanilla on heirs.

does anyone know why this happens? ^^^^^

[Glycerius]

The hat Arcadius wears in the modified version of him is characteristically Late Roman, but green seems a bit uncertain. I mean there were circus factions at time, and wearing the colours of the Greens would have enraged the Blues. The gangs associated with them were needed to keep order in Constantinople.

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.

Would it be possible to make the armor for heirs?

[Biennius]

Does anyone know of a tutorial on how to do this?

[Baron Ace]

Does anyone know of a tutorial on how to do this?

i say its useless to even try at the moment because when the starting faction leader dies the new one just gets the generic clothes again. dont know why.

[Biennius]

Well I can seattle with that im trying to give Attila himself (the campagin character/general) a good looking fur cape and a nice floopity flop on his crown/helmet. KLA managed to somehow get this done for different characters so im asking around.
