Thanks guys, the encouragement makes me work faster.
I've almost finished the shields, I'm getting better at this as I go along, so the first set of units I did will get reworked a little bit I think.

Ok, I did a little work today. Went back and changed some units, most of them actually, toned down some of the reds and such. Also did a lot of work on shields, let me know what you think of them. This is the beta version (mainly meant to test if things are going well), if you're interested I'd love feedback on the looks. The whole faction isn't done yet, it's still a ways to go, but I think it's a noticeable improvement. These don't include HbHdast's files yet, this is just stuff I've worked on, I'm sure we'll get out stuff together soon but we seem to be on different time zones
Thanks for the support!

how do you install it?
Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes.

I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

I think you'd have to check in battle_models where the textures go.
They're all somewhere in dlv_ext/data/unit_models/_units, except for the horse texture, they're in dlv_ext/data/unit_models/mounts. I'll make sure everything is already pre-sorted in the right files when we finally release it though.

I did a good bit of work today while my wife was at work, here's what I got. Lots of reworking and refining, new shields are the most eye candy, and mail units are updated. I just have a few files to go, but I'll probably be out of town tomorrow, so look for them Tuesday.

So, I've got a lot more work done, and all the units (to my knowledge) are completed! I haven't heard back from HbHdast in a few days, so I'm gonna keep putting this out here as beta, but so far this is all my own work. I know he's done some banners and the Nubian units, but we never swapped files so I went ahead and did them myself. I'm still waiting on his banners though, they look great and I think they would be better than what I can do at this point. All that's left to be done are unit cards and the strat map coloring, which I'll probably knock out tomorrow, and incorporating Hb's reworking of the heraldic symbol as well.
I tried to put all the files in the right subfolders (so you can just dump the whole thing into DLV_ext\data), but was having a hard time zipping them up that way. I think I got it working but let me know if not, I'll try again.

Updated version that gives you most of the faction symbols, fixed the general problem, and changed a few other minor things. Not sure if anyone downloaded the other one anyway, so hopefully no re-installs are necessary.

Well my initial impressions, based on the screenshots, are that you've done a fantastic job. I really like what I've seen so far+rep
Great work on an a faction that deserves more attention! Really impressed with the banners. Will check out the beta when Empire wears me out!![]()
Will test this out when I start a new game. Im a slow player, due to real life things(job), but its on my list to test for sure. Really nice work.
nice work

Thanks guys. I've just noticed a small graphical problem with the teardrop shields with black and white checks. It used to be a sheild with diagonal zigzags, and it seems like a texture of that pattern is underlying the checks. I'm gonna try to fix that now.

Reworked all the cavalry trappings, I'm much happier with them now, also fixed some problems with the feathers on a few of the horsie's heads.

Dang, what was wrong, the file paths or the files themselves? I tried to get it perfect, and they're working for me.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll work on that today.![]()
