The Mercenary Shoppe (New Unit 3/20/09)

**Forrest Gump** · February 20, 2009, 11:42 AM

Here at the Mercenary Shoppe, we believe in quality in medieval armies. Our warrios come equipped and ready for combat under your service. If you so wish to hire these fine warriors, all you will need to do is dawn them with the standards and banners of your house or nation. These warriors are merely revamped, simple renditions of vanilla aspects put together to make them more presentable. However, the Mercenary Shoppe has an 'as is' policy and does not take custom orders. These units were produced for personal use and we just felt the need to allow the community to use them as well.

Each package includes the following components:
- Unit model in Medieval II: Total War .mesh format.
- Unit Figure texture in nVIDIA .dds graphic format.
- Unit Attachments texture in nVIDIA .dds graphic format.

These units are open source for personal use and may be incorporated into upcoming or released modifications with proper credit and permissions given. All you have to do is texture and go and before you know it you will have your new units in game with amazing quality. This is merely an upload thread and not a fix all problems thread. What you see in every package is what you get. If you have no knowledge of creating and entering new units into the modelsdb, edu, and other relevant files, I suggest you head over to the Modding Workshop as all your answers can be found there. Until next time, enjoy your spoils of war.

Knights A Foot

Warriors who pledged to serve their

liege or king in military service. Generally this pledge was termed that the knight would serve 40 days of each year in military combat for his king. In exchange the knight would receive loot from battles, his own estate and position in the King's court. Knights usually entered battle atop their mighty steads. But when the occasion called for it, these brave warriors would dismount before or during battle. On foot, these veteran warriors make up an impressive and highly trained infantry unit and are a forced to be reckoned with.

No. These are alternatives to already great works out there my good sir. B. Ward has shown great initiative. I can only wish to follow such a good example.

Very nice! I hope that spearmen are next!

Simple yet amazing. + rep

**Surgeon** · February 27, 2009, 01:22 PM

By the way, is the surcoat model custom-made? I don't think I've seen it in game before, and it is spectacular

**Forrest Gump** · February 27, 2009, 04:01 PM

Thanks for those who have downloaded and those who have commented. The surcoat is just an edited version of the one from the norman_general model. Most of the elements will just be from vanilla. The units are just simple for ease of use.

Saracen Spearmen

These highly skilled and trained warriors are a solid force for any army. Although mounted warriors show status and wealth, these disciplined soldiers would dismount for duties that demanded it and become a great line of defense. Equipped with a steel conical shield and a long spear, they provide a hard line for any foe to penetrate.
