The Seljuk Turks ????

[Constantius]

Is or has anyone done a mod for the Seljuks and Seljuks of Rum ,we have all theses mods for battle field realism and beutiful Romans thanks to the artists at CBUR ,but the Turks are ,well a let down Well i'm at it could do with some Hungarian magic and a new Croat and Serb faction but hey !carnt have everything ,perhaps i'll ask Santa

Agreed, Jannisaries need some reskins for sure, they look so vanilla..........and early Turkish units need an overhaul.

Finally, Jannisary roster for Late era and Renaissance needs more Jannisary units, there are no mounted Jannisaries!

I heard that AlphaDeta, allowed averyone use his units in mods, and BC has really good muslimfaction units

jannisary fights only on foot.. mounted jannisaries were elite, and named Qapukulu (which is included in the game).. but it is right, turks look so vanilla

Full roster revisions are rare mainly because it takes a lot of time, effort, some money, and (usually) some serious modding skill. The ones that are out there - Teutonics, Russia, Byzantium, Jerusalem, etc - are made by people who are very enthusiastic and knowledgeable of that particular faction. Until all these conditions are met, the Turks likely won't see a sub-mod dedicated to them. But then again, if there are a lot of players who would like to see this made, maybe someone would be willing to pick up the task.

As a faction, the turks are fine. They have a decent roster and all that, what they really need is a faction reskin.

Consider hungary, worst looking faction in the game by far, but with the "Impalers" retexture mod, the faction comes to life.

Id like to see a similar sort of "themed" retexture of the seljuk turks, and the less green in that texture mod, the better !

Re-texturing a bunch of units doesnt take very long, and the skills required are rather minimal compared to the work needed to get new models/upgrades/whatever else in the game.

Heck, i could probably retexture the turks to look better, but im no historian and im only "meh" at photoshop: it would just be re-coloring units, so ill leave it to an expert.

Seriously though, someone please give that faction a visual makeover, right now its as if the turks were some kind of colony of ireland or something, they look terrible.

V very true i'm going to collect as much information as i can and post it for anyone to look at and use (i cannot mod but ican do research ) .It just seems a shame CBUR and the like have made such an effort to be wasted in some respects when you have a battle ,you have to fight cheesey yellow /green Turks .Then hopefuly someone can pick up the baton and reskin at the least
oh and for those that do !! Merry Christmas

Well, since most Broken Crescent units are now available to be used by other mods, it seems reasonable we'll see a new Egypt, Turks, Khwarezm and maybe new factions Georgia and/or Armenia in the long term.

Also regarding Hungary, I believe Point Blank and his RR/RC submod is exclusively allowed to use domes excellent (and I really mean excellent!) Hungarian units of the Magyar mod in SS when the Magyar mod is finished (might still take some time though, so don't get all too exited yet).

[King Siegfried]

Broken Crescent units look a little too Broken Crescent and not enough Stainless Steel, IMO. Just sayin'.

[fenix3279]

^ Why does that even matter?

You're saying you would rather have crappy vanilla units instead of superbly redone units from BC?

Surely, you must be joking.

Mmmmm, what?

Smthng like this?

they look like real ottomans.. and BC units look like more seljuk.. hmmm but they are both awesome!

[fenix3279]

One thing's for sure. They are both better than the current vanilla roster.

Damn those are some nice units. It would be great to see the Turks updated with either one. Thx for the link.

Okay, I'll be more specific. There is a clear difference between Broken Crescent's aesthetics and Stainless Steel's. Stainless Steel seeks to continue with the sharp, crisp aesthetic direction that vanilla started, but improve upon it by making it more accurate to history. Broken Crescent goes in a whole new direction, whether it's because they made entirely new models for each unit or just because they liked a more down-to-earth and blurred aesthetic for the mod. I can see the difference between the two mods' Byzantine units, such as SS's Byzantine Infantry and BC's Vestiartitai Swordsmen. I'm sure you all can see it, too.

I would MUCH prefer to see someone spend the time to make their own high-quality version of the Turks specifically for SS rather than just stealing units from BC because they're lazy.

[VINC.XXIII]

come out all vanilla unit ^^

[Constantius]

We need both anway Seljuks then the Ottomans ,those Ottomans looked really good shame that mod died looked really good .
