Hi,Whats the chances of this cool mod been compatible with meneths compilation. Since I'm sure he has the Tuetonic skins in from the BofTB. Would this be a Meneth answer or you,please

These chances my friend are not so many, unfortunatelly due to lack of time [regarding to me].
If Meneth or anyone else would like to do something like that, he has the free from me [as long as credit is given] to incorporate my project to his compilation.
Nevertheless, i think it would be to soon for something like that to happen, because i haven't released my main update yet, which will be even more consistent and coherent!
So, in time we will see...

[Lord Ragnar]

Then my i ask would it be a case of maybe Meneth or alike using your fine "Byzantium Skins and units" to say place a small sub-mod add on. Or even graft to the current BotB sub-mod he has. I'm keen to understand is it a simple case of following the "adding unit to any mod tutoral" Or is not, please advise

I am not familiar with that tutorial, but seeing by the title maybe it could be;-)

[Ishan]

No, that particular tutorial that ragner mentions is not sufficient to learn all of this.

Nice work eldorien88 your units look very nice, i love the look of the infantry. I wonder if you could get the generals bodyguard from Broken Creasent and incoporate it into this mod.

Thank you!
As for the BC Generals, i don't think it would be difficult to incorporate but
firstly i can't find time at this period, not even for an update i am working
and secondly i have not played the BC Mod so i don't know the unit you are speaking of..
Can you upload a pic maybe?

[Eldorien88]

And some preview of new units/versions to come...
Of course not finalised, still things to do with skinning and normal mapping mostly,
but something of the work in progress...
Suggestions as always are welcome and needed :-)

Unreal units, made me jizz in appreciation .One thing i noticed the officer sticks out like a sore thumb on the first unit.Although in regards to capses wouldnt they be impractical in combat especially those long ones even if they look extremely cool.

Every unit's officer in Byzantium "sticks" like that, no matter the unit skins.But that is a worthy notice and taken into account.. Maybe i will do something about officers.
The capes believe me are not impractical at all in battle, as they dont mess with the unit in an un-normal way, instead they flow well with the unit and the movement.
Thank you for good words and notices! :-)

These units are shaping up nicely, well done! YOu can also think about some new officer/general models/skins that are similar, the SS6 ones are not written in stone, you know

[ChrisG]

The swordsmen are amazing!! Great job!!

Yeah Wolf! the thought of making some new officers is getting clearer now.
Maybe some silver textures which are more neutral to fit better to all of the units of Byzantium.

The swordsmen are amazing!! Great job!!

Happy to know you like' em guys! Hope i manage to finalise soon, but no promises though, i am having a really luck of time this period..

Edit: Something i want to mention is that the archer unit model, as many of you may have already notice is the Menaulatoi model.
The changes i made regarding this model is mostly through scripting/editing rather than texturing, except for the shields, bows and full-face helms.
But as i have said both models are not finished yet, so until they reach finalisation some things will probably be changed or added!

[vtec.dominion]

Both swordsmen and archers looks simply amazing! Can't wait for another update

[Eldorien88]

Another new unit/version to come... Varangian Guard with a more Elit arms & armor!

Edit: @vtec.dominion
I was hoping the updates would be finalised before Christmas,
unfortunatelly they are going to take a little more, sorry for keeping you
waiting and a Big Thank you for the support [all of you]!!!

[Ferdiad]

No koke those are the most epic Varangian units i've ever seen, they even surass BCs Units and that my friend is high praise.The only thing i can think of that may be wrong is that theyre too ahistorical?They look kinda bling bling for a Byzantine unit, just sayin.
