[Strelac]

second variation of the elite heavy ghulam.
It resembles the previous version with some new features including the new helmet. This one will be sweet when its completely done

Enjoy

Very nice. That helmet/aventail is superb.

Cheers

Strelac that is simply beautiful. Cant wait to see that heavy armour in action!

[Miraj]

Very nice! I just love the details and the heaviness of the models. They are just perfect for the ghulams. You have honored a long forgotten caste of warriors Strelac, thank you!

[Sinan]

Excellent work ! I love the helmet detail, again it's awesome ! The sword detail and color, amazing work.

I'm still taking exception to the armbands though.

It reminds me too much of so called "Islamofascism". They are similar to Nazi armbands, specially the black ones. I fear that this will reinforce the Islamofacist theory. i.e look THEY were always like this. This is a politically sensitive issue and this would not help to bring people together, and promote understanding..

I'm not asking you to change anything either. I'm just telling you what I think. It is your work and your hobby, you are free to do with it as you choose.

If you feel that this representation is acceptable in the current world geopolitical climate, then so be it.

No offence bro, you're doing GREAT ! Just my opinion and I hope it's not offensive to anyone.

SALUTE !

I think the armbands are just fine. Plus plenty of sources show them wearing arabic armbands. And, seriously, lets leave the politics out of this. BC is a creative project and above all a game. Not an exercise in political correctness. Besides, the armbands make them look badass.

[IrAr]

Sinan, I believe the people who are going to play Broken Crescent are smart enough to realise that this mod took place before the rise of Arab Nationalism, no more politics in this thread!

[Sinan]

I have voiced my opinion, in the interest of assisting the developers.

If the developers think otherwise, and don't agree, that's fine with me.
As for what the general public thinks or says I'm not greatly concerned.
My comments were directed at the developers and I have my reply from their leader.

Thank you.

[Strelac]

The last in the series of Elite Heavy Ghulam. I'll post some in game screenies soon.
The next in line are regular Heavy Ghulam.

Cheers,
Strelac

I love those helmets, and the legs on this guy are so detailed..Superb all round. Is that red part armour? Its really detailed.

Cheers

[Miraj]

Really amazing work (as usual) Strelac. You attention to detail is divine. I just can't wait to charge these fellows into battle!

[Tadzreuli]

great job ! ... and from what factions are these Generals ?

[Ahiga]

Very amazing Strelac. I can't say enough how so very Ghulam they are.


Can I ask, what are are our plans on recruitment of Ghulams? I can't help but feel like recruiting them in the stables is a little odd, along with other native cavalry. It seems better to have them recruited from a specific building for it, much like Janissary Heavy Infantry were in Vanilla. Is that possible, or is that what Alpha/Mirage/Strelac would prefer?

[Yoda Twin]

Great work Strelac, cant wait to see them in game

[Strelac]

These 2 units are part of the heavy cav ghulam units. They should be weaker armored then Elite Ghulam (metallic units in tread) , but heavier armored then the medium ghulams on the beginning of the tread. They will carry long spear and mace.

[Ahiga]

Very cool stuff Strelac. I'll be sending you the edits to your ghulam spreadsheet tonight.

Love how these guys look and how much work you've put into them. The coloring and such especially!

[Sinan]

Unbelievable. CONGRATS !!!

I'm sure you all know this already, plural of Ghulam is Ghilmam, if it helps in any way.

I have also found this, it's not specatacular but it could serve as artistic licence for saddles (image on right):

Fantastic work as usual Strelac!

[CelticPagan]

Strelac, between you me and the lamppost, if CA and/or SEGA don't offer you and AD jobs in their art departments for future TW releases, they are just plain stupid. Amazing work as always!!!!!!
