[OkamiTroll]

Your Modeldb is not right, different units like turkoman_heavy_archer_cavalry_regular_bow have a different name in your unit_model folder

sorry for my bad english

[Gercog]

I think you should re-check your archive one more time

[OkamiTroll]

I think different models and textures are missing
As Gercog said ; You should re-check your archive��

[Dolen]

I apologize for the trouble, and appreciate your help to report issues.

I did perform a test, but it seems I failed to notice the fact that a mod can read files from another mod, which led the issue to go unnoticed on my part.
I have uploaded another patch, so please see if this fixes it.

[Gercog]

Another missing model(( And I think it's not the last. You really need check your archive one more time bro

[Gercog]

Maybe this is last missing model, because when I did not choose this unit in custom battle the battle is started.
And just a little bug

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

P.S. The units are excellent, Bravo!

[Dolen]

Patch uploaded.
Thank you Grecog for your help.
I hope this fixes it.

[OkamiTroll]

i've downloaded the patches and no problems, the game work well !

thanks for your work Dolen

[Gercog]

Yes, now everything works without problems

[Marble Emperor]

Incredible work dolen, you've really outdone yourself!

[stevietheconquer]

thank you for this great update!

[achilles-91]

Wow... Not much to say. Great work, i like quality of textures so much. Great job man. If you just added one or two more helmets variations to royal ghulams, it would be perfect. I know you want them to look more elite, and uniformed, but uniforming is just not part of medieval world. But it is your decision.

Will you stick to your plan of reworking ghaznavids, kwarazmians, ghurids and oman as well? I am particullary interested in those factions.

And btw, your units are very popular on russian forums. Really looking forward to ayubids.
Are ayubid cavalry that u showed as mamluks or tawashi?

[OkamiTroll]

Hi Dolen, do you want to rework the KOJ army ?
