Broken Cresent Models for Byzantium

**hospitaller13** · October 08, 2011, 01:04 AM

For me the biggest downer with stainless steel is the inferor quality of eastern units particulary byzantium. The textures are poor in quality when compared to western factions. I noticed Broken Cresent has some very detailed awesome models for eastern factions, the best byzantine models ive seen so far.

- possiblity to incoporate them in? (submod)
- any way i can replace them myself

Look in the mod workshop for tutorials.

Doesn't SS use the CBUR stuff ? They're a massive improvement over the vanilla units regardless...

Hospitaller13 - there's a submod (have a browse for it) that deals with the Islamic factions in particular.

I disagree, i love the BC stuff its a great mod, but the models look better from CBUR, but they also give that added historical realisim and there just brilliant.
doing it yourself will be very complicated as youll have to mess around with the bmdb, which is very annoying, i recommend something simplar first

I plan to add BC models to my submod and I'm thinking of changing the Byzantine models also. While CBUR models are better then vanilla ones, I think that BC byzantine models are a step ahead of CBUR. They just look much more clean and detailed. You just want to pause the game and enjoy those beautiful varangians, pronoiarii, kataphractoi and bodyguards.

The ERE bodyguards in particular, from BC, are really cool.
REALLY heavy armor and maces.

I love the Varangians from BC, simply the best model I've ever seen.

Hum i actualy in my opinion i prefer SS 6.4 Byzantine units, but BC have some very beutyfull units, but there are others i dont like like the pike units from BC. But on the midle eastern factions, like the fatimids, KoJ, The Seljuks its another matter. They are too vannila in comparisson to western factions, it is a pity.
And i dont think there is any sub-mod that changes Islamic factions and crusader states for 6.4 specificaly.

Man I can't wait for CBUR to do a graphical improvement of the Komenion Roster later on in the future. As of the moment I enjoy CBUR units but I also like to use BC units in the roster as well but not entirely replace the roster with the BC units since I found some of them to my disliking.

I agree some of the CBUR models are perhaps better, it would be great if you could get the best of both, that would make an awesome roster.

Thanks mate i will have a look into it

Replacing the CBUR units at this point in time is like putting wheels on a tomato: pointless

Hey! That tomato would still move... slowly.

The way i see it guys no one is absolutely happy with the current Byzantine roster...Although i love the ss and appreciate the work the CBUR members have done,there is something missing...someone has to take it one step further...I agree with hospitaler13 and if someone could make it easier for us and make the BC roster availaible through a submod,it would be great..!

Why not you, then?

**DoulKarnein** · October 11, 2011, 08:11 AM

lad...if i had the luxury of time to do so myself i wouldn't even be discussing it in the forum...i 'd do it and just deliver it to others...but as i can understand there are people in this forum with much more experience and skill than me in this matter...what would take me weeks to accomplish,would take one or two days to them as i m begginer..Anyway we are not all moderators and i honestly come forward asking what a lot of players have in their minds and can't do themselves...no need for statements just as yours...

thanx Caesar Clivus.
