    Icon14 Byzantine Guard Pikemen

    I'm playing SS6.2, and just was wondering who the modder was that created the Guard Pikemen? I think they are the best looking skins yet! I wish that the rest of the Byzantine forces were as colorful as the pikemen. They all look somewhat drab and generic. I've tried CBUR project skins but didn't like them. Does anyone know were I can download some awesome Byzantine skins other than CBUR?

    Don't get me wrong CBUR is ok and I've downloaded it before, but have you seen these Guard Pikemen? Fantastic work!

    i've looked around, but i can't seem to find this "CBUR" sub mod

    any link? xD

    i used basilea ton romanion so far, but i decided to update to 6.2, and new looking units would be awsome, as i love to play as Byzantine

    CBUR is the Basilea ton Romaion submod. BtR is the submod created by the CBUR team for SS.

    Byzantine pikemen are a creation of LAca.
    Unforthunatly they were the only completed unit he made.
    In CBUR we used some materials from him and we are honored for that.
    TGC in order to continue its development seak one or more desicated scripters to put our campaign scripts mess to an order plus to create new events and create the finall missing factions recruitment system. In return TGC will give permision to those that will help to use its material stepe by step. The result will be a fully released TGC plus many mods that will benefit TGC's material.
    Despite the mod is dead does not mean that anyone can use its material
    read this to avoid misunderstandings.

    IWTE tool master and world txt one like this, needed inorder to release TGC 1.0 official to help TWC to survive.
    Adding MARKA HORSES in your mod and create new varietions of them. Tutorial RESTORED.

    His stuff is outstanding, I'm assuming he doesn't mod anymore?

    Unfortunately i dont have the time for now. I had ambitious plans for the byzantines... Oh well maybe sometimes i will come back. We'll see about that.
    Until then feel free to use the models (there are 2 versions, with one and two handed spear versions).

    Is there anyway to make them infantry, sword and shield? The one handed version could replace "Byzantine Spearmen".

    Might be me, but I don't see any difference between the 6.1/6.2 guard pikes and the 6.2 RR/RC pikes. Either way, I think they look great.

    I'm sorry guys. I know you guys at CBUR put alot of effort in your work but I don't think you guys gave enough in variety. Some of the skins are just too generic and clone like. Maybe different shield colors and patterns might help. Please don't think of me like this:

    or this or even this

    I guess this is what you get for not making colourful units 'cause these are obviously all clone-like and generic.

    Yup, I just showed someone who only plays vanilla the ( in my eyes ) most wonderful SS6.2 with RR/RC and told him this is a community-made mod. And he remarked " no wonder it feels so crude, all units look the same, all grayish".
    Some people just like the colorful vanilla units while care next to nothing about something like historical accuracy.

    Replace the word "grayish" with the word "purple" and you could be talking about the vanilla Byzantine roster

    I love the CBUR units. They always made me feel like playing the Romans in RR/RC, despite my hatred of starting as the #1 faction. Fortunately, Late Era solves that problem. ^_^
