It will only affect your view of the battle because you load your skin. I do think the other player sees your skin but I do not know for sure..

I have most of the units in the game re-skinned yet i never have a problem whenever i play online, so you should be good.

the "new" skin for the spartans (i think you mean this one)


Can be used for online play.
but your opponent will not see that you use this skin (only if he has the same)
so you can download it and still be able to play online.

(same for the MOD-Pack)

But if you would download a reskin that.. lets say it makes hoplites use their spears overhand instead of underhand, would that cause desync?

hey i checked out the "Carthage Reloaded thing" and it looks really nice.
where can i download it ?
(i always make 2 RTW files and then place the mods in the second one.
so that i always will have a "clean" RTW exe.)

Well if my memory serves me correctly the good man came down with the Big C so i assume that he would be in the hospital. you could pm him or just ask in the thread dedicated to the Carthage Reloaded pack and hope someone answers.
