[RELEASED] KLA's Elite Units Mod

[KLAssurbanipal]

I released new reskin of units to Attila. This time it's a set of elite units.
Pack includes units:
- The Roman Empire,
- Sarmatians & Thracians of Germanic rosters,
- Celts,
- Sassanid Empire

I changed the appearance of the units to make them more historic and diverse. Lorica Segmentata of late Roman units may arouse controversy.
I inspired by the book "Roman Legionary 284-337". There is the plate (which I posted at the units preview), and below I put quotation from that book:

"Their armor plate, the so-called lorica segementata,
small seem anachronistic, but a growing body of finds from late 3rd- and early 4th-century contexts
at Carlisle and León (base of VII Gemina, the legion of small and vexillation have it Supplied
Constantine's army), suggest it was still in limited use (Bishop 2013)."

Changes in appearance of units are the following:

1. Romans:
- New types of ridge helmets, especially for the cavalry - Vanilla Roman cavalry used especially spangenhelm;
- More diversity in appearance soldiers, rather than the "clones army";
- More patterns of tunica manicata;
- New types of armors;
- More differences between units types

2. Celts:
- Characteristic of the Celts - chequered and stripes on the pants, tunics and cloaks;
- More kinds of helmets, even with bronze;
- New types of chain mail;
- The end of the Clone Wars in identical spangenhelms

3. Sassanians:
- More beards, which were very popular in that region;
- More variety of helmets and armor;
- Added red color for cloaks, characteristic of Sassanians

4. Sarmatians:
- Changed race from Mongoloid to Caucasian;
- New helmets - more steppe style;
- More armors;
- More patterns of shields

5. Thracians:
- Characteristic Thracian hats instead of bearskin caps;
- Removed trousers;
- Scaly armor instead of wheels with bronze;
- Thracian cloak patterns instead of Germanic pattern tunics

That is A LOT of skins! One question thought: Why do the Armored Legio have so many beards?

[Fedual]

This looks so badass! ! ! !

- Question: Any plans to update the unit cards for all the redone units aswell? Because from an immersion PoV that would be the pièce de résistance

- Would be awesome if Radious could be given permission to incorporate these units straight into his mod, i havent had any problems with the mod while playing with Radious so far (only about 20 or so conflicts in the mod manager with radious unit mod & radious additional unit mod).

[Senatorix]

I have a question: is all this? or time will be even more fractions?

[lyon]

great work as always!

[TheDeaconBosco]

Great job KLA, though I'm surprised to see that not one roman soldier isn't wearing trousers? I believe you were the one who claimed that this was inaccurate on CA's part, so I'm surprised to see you didn't look to rectify it.

[Teutonic]

Great, the vanilla units (I am thinking Romans especially) needed some love to make them look decent along Drama's units in Radious mods. Those elite units looking so shabby next to the others was jarring. KLA is a true legend!

[Tyiallyradil]

Really awsome work!

As I love the FotE recruitment system for the Romans, but these units look so good, is there any way to make these work with FotE and Better Aggressive CAI mods?

In FotE most of the Roman units have been reworked already, but I would prefer these over those.

Regards.

Oh good Lord... 5th century Romans in Lorica Segmentata. One just had to wait for it...

The best this faar. No doubt!

[♠ Thomas Cochrane ♠]

absolutely bloody fantastic KLA. I especially love that the Sarmatians are no longer Asian, and that you've made the Alans blonder!

[Christianus]

Have been following your work since Rome Total War KLAssurbanipal. You really are a true artist!
