As promised:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Venetian Excuvitus (does this name reminds you Roman Excubitores?) with Paleologos shied patern adjusted to Pacco's long curved Norman shield will be soon among us.
The unit will be dublicated both as a Palace guards and general's guard on foot as well. This gb will be the second in game on foot after the Viking BG resembling to the naval escort of a general of a doge because Venice was a maritime power!

WIP Excusatus


Shield patern by Paleologos.
Heads by Razor.
Shield type made by Pacco maybe replaced with more propriate one.

[Wallachian]

Outstanding work! Quick question: Is the installer constantly updated? Or are you guys working on a larger update?

[AnthoniusII]

Excusati Del Doge


The Doge's Palace guard.

You make my textures look so good!

[AnthoniusII]

A little more petience to see your islamic shields side by side with those of Leif Erikson's and Pacco's.
Stand by because i may need you to make some bulgarian extra shields for the bulgarian rebel shadow faction when time's come.
THANK YOU my FRIEND.

we release a 4th patch of the public alpha in the near future.
those new units will be most likely be part of a bigger update.

Exactly ... Inorder to gain time _tartaros_ works in the mod's scripts and other issues and I work in an oldest data to implement all necessary units.
When this will end my finall unit pack including:
models
textures
portraits
UI catds (both kinds)
Recruitment system (finall) I will sent it to him to make the finall stand.
Then a campaugn will start and Koultouras and I will make the finall stats.
I will keep you informed reguraly.
Now I will try to separate artilery units per culture and faction to replace once and for all the last vanilla units.

to replace once and for all the last vanilla units.

Sounds amazing. Can't wait!!!

[stevietheconquer]

those units looks eye blinding!

[_Tartaros_]

some interesting news for you, currently working on the 1000th years campaign and for the first time got it running in campaign.
here´s a first look at the starting situation:


still need to add some characters to let normans, pechenegs, fatimids, kalbids and venice show up proper (they instantly die because of missing famaily members, but thats easily added), but this campaign will bring you new factions like normans, pechenegs or fatimids to play with, that are partly unplayable in the main campaign. other factions like the hre and fatimids (optional choose in maincampaign for aghlabids!) need a long campaign to be reached.

edit:
here we go:

On a side note, I believe my model of a kite shield is better than the one you have.
Yours seems like it is a little concave at the top, becoming increasingly concave at it's low end.
I believe kite shields were flatter at the bottom and more concave at the top.

Would you be interested in a swap?

Taking a brake of making warriors models I desided to change MARKA Rus settlements that have 4100 kb size each and may cause random CTDs with TGC's known style (steppe have to be made last).
Here is how a Rus city (stone walls) looks like.

In the center the Lord's house of warriors gathering and by its side the pilars of their pagan Gods. No two store houses but humble wooden ones.

Finally Rus have a complete strat_map model series.
From Village to Large City and Permanent Stone forts.

Vir Noblissimos AnthoniusII these are fantastic. Thanks to this magnificent team. Might I inquire as to when we might see Roman generals and perhaps the Basileos on the campaign map?

[_Tartaros_]

thank you,
i think someone promised to create the stratmapmodels some time ago, but we didn´t received them so far. so anyone capable and willing to help us in this is welcome

[AnthoniusII]

Its the next step to see the vanilla texture size for each strat_map model of characters and create the models and textures and upload them to anyone who knows how to make them work.
So far:
Croatia
Normans
Lombards
East Frankia
Ottonian Germans
Magyars
Pechenegs
Turkomans
Rus
have all characters exept Diplomats but diplomats will be military men carrying scrolls instead of swords.
Romans have generals and captains because i was expecting Leif Erikson to create Emperor and Heir but he disapeared few years ago without any warning.
Now I am done with strat_map models of Rus settlements i will create the steppe ones to finish them all.
Next i will finish Venetians and Pope and re-create the Lombard Kings and Heir.
