The lack of corinthian helmets is on purpose as they are largely considered to have fallen out of use before the timeframe of RTR. The overhand animation is included. You just need to implement it yourself in descr_model_battle for the units you want.

IIRC they were falling out of fashion even in Alexander's time, since the enclosed form meant they couldn't hear orders. The FOE previews show Chalkidian helmets, which look similar to a Corinthian helmet, but with the ears open, that were in use at this time.

Ooook, I have no idea how one can do this. Can you give me a bit of guidance? Like I looked into this file and all I could see was a pretty big list will all the units of the game with a bunch of sprite things and codes and all that. I have absolutely no experience modding (it seems like fun as a hobby though, what can help you get into it? like a tutorial or something).

Just in case, I have the mod-switch version, but I guess it has nothing to do, because it's all the same files but in another sub-folder (RTRPE)

I seem to vaguely remember that there was a plan to include an optional add-on for rtrpe(mod switch version) that did exactly that. Implemented the eb animations. Didn`t it make it in?

Nope. Would be nice if it would be in. Maybe it could be implemented in a new fix (if there is one, yesterday I got a CTD like in my second turn as the greek city states (I do have the version two CTD fix downloaded and running, because I have the missing hoplite texture).

I haven't been able to find an addon for that though (googled it and nothing). Do you have a link somewhere that may have this addon? Thanks anyways
