[Parzival2211]

Excellent preview, guys, as always!

no Cocroach,

I am not a Nazi.
the Iranian peoples, which include, Persians among others are historically called Aryans. I refer to them by there correct tribal name.

The blonde Iranians are not descendants of Greek blood. Medeteranian are known for black and brown hair. The Kurds of Iran and Afghanistan however are known for there blonde hair and the connection is in the Aryan heritage which originality is believed to have come from Russia as nomadic peoples and eventually settled in Iran

the reason why the Persian empire changed its name to the Iranian Empire in 1935 was in reflection of this. Iran means nation of Aryans and was intended to be inclusive of the many non Persian Aryans, (Kurds, Baluches, Medes etc) living in the borders of the Empire.

Hitlers adoption of the term Aryan to describe his misguided understandings of genetics, is in part do to the recognition of ancient history. He saw the blonde haired blue eyed ultra militaristic ancient Iranians as one example of superior genetics and named his people after them. Its not accurate. There are no German Aryans, never have been, just the ravings of lunatic.

/ I've edited this post and removed your last comment. Personal insults are now allowed here. You have explained what you've meant very well, and nobody thinks you're a nazi. Cocroach the great was simply unaware of the historical term, and expressed himself a bit clumsy, but now you've enlightened him. Let's leave it at that.

Allright here is it:

Gaiten, my good sir, your lamellar warriors are awesome! Gaiten, I've to admit here one thing, this one: 'I'm in love with lamellar armours!' I don't know why, this happens but ... I cannot stop watching with enchanted eyes any kind of lamellar armour I see, from Samurai to germanic tribes, from Langobards to Mongols I simly adore the lamellar armour!

So it's with great stisfaction that I tell you: Great work Master Gaiten! Thanks!

[Gäiten]

You are welcome.

Hmm, given your liking of the Langobardi, maybe doing a mini preview of them?

[Sertorio]

Great work as always.

[demagogos nicator]

He looks like a dangerous man. BTW. If I remember correctly you have promised to show us a gaelic unit as well

[tomySVK]

Great unit! I really like the cavalry

Fantastic unit, out of curiosity, what kind of armor is it wearing? Is it Scale or Lamellar?

[demagogos nicator]

Looks good

[Gäiten]

Lamellar.

[b257]

Enjoy!

That is great Gaiten!!! Btw I have stopped working on my version but I think that I will upload it in a few weeks just to fix some ctd's. I have added some units but the main problem of IBFD 7.03 comparing to IB-SAI is that the last one used the unit slots more wisely. I am currently trying to fix that in order to be able to add more units without going over the limit. How the progress of IBRR by the way goes?

[Gäiten]

Progress is slow but steady.
The new version with the two new faction has been a great overhauling, something that needs much time and efforts.

[demagogos nicator]

Good looking unit, glad to hear that you still work on the mod.

[Gäiten]

Yes, but it is slower than I would like to have it.

However, there could be two versions, a version with the two factions the primary build lost for two new.

[Majorien]

Yes, but it is slower than I would like to have it.

Oh yes please; a release with the romano-brittons faction !!!!
