I like much your upgrades armour, but jurcek do you like the current scoutotai in sship? I guess that broken crescent scoutotai are more skinny and their shield aren't big as sship scoutotai... what do you think?

Well I can't deny that current models look superb but these BC models are more accurate in terms of armour and equipment.
Can someone tell me at what specific era those helmets are used? I knwo that they've been seen at later, but, are They used in 12-13th century as well ? Check all of helmets in presented unit.
You better ask that in the Vestigia Vetustatis subforum.
Thanks for info
Anyone has some wood that needs chopping?

I think the second model looks way cooler, that's the original BC Varangian guard, but I wanted to distinguish the basic and the heavy lamellar versions.
And I used the BC varangian mercenaries model for Saxon Huskarls.

I had to make some additional modifications, in BC, Varangians use the mace animation and fight with shields, which looks ridiculous. There's no way you could wield that huge axe with one hand. So I strapped the shields on their backs (thanks to paleologos, the Titanium model-making genius who told me how) and I removed the silly double-headed axes.

Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in
He found him in Mombasa in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun. He didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg

Those look awesome. Just one question, why is this a submod and not part of SSHIP?
Well, that's the question for the developers. But as you can see from the title, this is still work in progress. Replacing so many unit models is quite a task, let alone for one person. Achilles has his work cut out for him. I think we should all give him some moral support (reputation) . As for the Roman units I posted, they are not part of this submod, they're a a little side project of mine. I decided to replace models of Roman units with the ones from Broken Crescent. Not only they look amazing, they're more historically accurate. The only downside is, BC doesn't have armour upgrades so each unit only has one model. I had to create different models for them and I'm pretty much finished apart from some finishing touches but unfortunately I can't release them because I didn't get permission.
Thanks for support guys!
I cant answer precisly why is not part of SSHIP.
About Roman roster, i have some great new ideas and units, but i still cant say for sure. When its confirmed, i will post some news about it.
UPDATE:
Crusading redone.
Now there will be only 4 catholic factions that can go on crusade. England, HRE, France, Sicily.
Other factions historicly did not taken major part in crusades in holy land.
Crusades will be able to be called only in holy land, no more in iberia and north africa.Castille and Aragon will have they religious units buildibly all time. Those factions cant take part in holy land crusades, as we know pope forbid them to, so that they can focus on threat of islam in spain.
Almoravids cant go on jihad. Jihads wont be able to be called in spain. Jihads will be calleble on holy land.
Faction swaping :
Portugal will be deleted. Possible new faction:
1)Armenia
2)Sweden
3)Bohemia
4)burgundy
5)Flanders
6)Volga bulgaria
7)Vladimir suzdal
So far, i think there will be armenia, but its not 100%.
Tell me your opinions what faction you want and why.
THere will be also new banners for strat models and faction collors for many factions

Hi, good luck with this project!
Very interesting changes to the crusades I would try adding some scripting that supported those 4 remaining factions able to crusade with extra funds, cuz usually AI is poor at crusading or a crusade breaks it's economy. If it really goes live I think that a crusade would barely reach it's target if only 4 factions were able to take part in it Hope u know what I mean
And second, I would vote for:
Vladimir suzdal or any of those factions situated close to HRE, this would add some variety to the according regions
I wouldn't vote for Armenia or especially Sweden. Scandinavia has very few settlements and is a poor region, so adding another faction would only spoil it, especially for the AI, which would turtle there as hell; Armenia will be quite a small faction and get wiped out quite soon in that region, I suppose
Hoping to see this live soon
While those four may have been the only ones to take major part in crusades in the Middle East, what about those factions that took part in crusades elsewhere? Such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Crusades
@Overlord.ru
If you know how to do scripting maybe you could help me to figure out something good for crusades, i would give all credits you want. Jurcek87 is also helping me with submod. Privet
@PerXX
I dont want to see aragon Crusading in baltic, and i dont want to see poland crusading in Syria. Its frustrating.
Most factions that took part in baltic crusades will anyway fight around there.
Best way would be to do script of crusade armys spaming for Crusader states faction at adequate years. Same goes for Baltic, but problem is that there is no Teutonic Order faction. And i dont know to do scripting.
Unfortunately, I've no skill in scripting at all
I'm just afraid that if you restrict it to only 4 factions, there would barely be successful crusades. HRE and France are usually at war with everyone, and England is on an isle, which would cause problems for the AI with transport. HRE and France can also be excommunicated often. So, I guess this could bring quite an imbalance, since AI can't refuse a crusade. So when they join, while others don't, it may be one of the reasons of destruction of these factions :/ So if you implement such a feature, it'll require a lot of testing, that's what I wanted to say But it's worth a try...
I agree with you. But i dotn want that every single crusade is succecefull, this way it is more realistick i think. But yea it would be proble that one faction aarmys going in crusade while another faction is atacking that faction hmm. Maybe i completly disable crusades and jihads
to replace Portugal, mainly i will vote for Vladimir-Suzdal, because that area between Rus and northern Steppe need more variety
the rest of it i vote Armenia or Volga Bulgaria, because we need more non-catholic faction
Yes i agree with umbracatervae, vladimir suzdal, armenia and volga bulgaria would be the three choose factions
THE MORE YOU SWEAT NOW,

I would also love to include vladimir suzdal or volga bulgaria, but problem is that there is no enough regions there...
About armenia, i could delete one to add Tarsus near Sis, so that Armenia can start with 2 regions. But still, im not even for armenia...I dont know...
If someone could sthrech map little more to south, then i could add Makuria, that way we could have very unique faction.
EDIT: Most of all, i would love to do 900AD campaing. That would satisfy me most. But that i cant definetly start doing alone, i need some more number of people.
