End of Antiquity Campaign: The First Crusade (612 - 710)

[Caudillo87]

Great stuff! Been checkin out your unit previews and they look awesome! However, one question; will there be more variation in the units?

For which faction? And for what unit? Roman units displayed are guard units so they are armored by the state. For the Persians I can do only so much because of the availability of more than one example, but I will try to add more variety if I do some more research. It will make me go back again and redue everything but if you guys wait I can come up with something.

If it was intentional then no worries mate It looks as if there is only one face though... Do you use more?

[Caudillo87]

No worries it's always good to have some criticism. There are five faces per unit. As for the bodies I try to change it up but I figured that at least the guard units would have some uniformity. And the Persians are so hard to find examples I have to wing it most of the times.

Sounds good, they look fabulous and I agree about the uniformity of guards.

[Caudillo87]

Thanks Athonius, I got a hold of Byzantium Beyond the Golden Gate and I have a few more ideas on how I can add variation.

Don't worry Caudillo cure yourself.

[paradamed]

This mod looks fantastic. We still dont have a mod that cover that time frame not the specific geographic area.

whow, just discovered this mod - really impressive and colourful
like the concept very much

[Geoffrey of Villehardouin]

Good luck with the mod. It may be better if you do not add extra factions for now, the conflict is one between the Romans, Persians and Arabs, though you could have a couple of units of Armenian mercenaries or something from around that region. It would be interesting to have the Sassanid Horse Temple and/or the True Cross featuring somehow in the mod. Perhaps their loss should lower diplomatic relations or cause a war but maybe something more like a morale boost to the enemy faction. Also presumably there will be a rebel faction and hopefully some interesting rebel units for the Armenian, Ghassanid and Lakhmid region but preferably no factions as such. Conquering this part of the world as Serbs, Armenians, Ghassanids, Hephthalites, etc sounds mad. I would also throw in the idea of asking for units/skins from other mods for now (e.g. from the Great Conflicts) and later make new ones if you have the inclination.

[Archagetes]

Well, it think there should be in any case more than those 3 factions you mentioned but at least also the Langobards, the Awars, Chazars and maybe also the Bulgars.
They were also factors you had to think about before going into war. You cannot simply move your army to the east and leave your western borders unguarded.

[Geoffrey of Villehardouin]

Yes, of course you are right. I was thinking the Langobards could be borrowed from the Great Conflicts and maybe the Avars could be borrowed Cumans from another mod. Together with the Arabs, that may be enough for a playable mod. I would hate to see this project stalled because of the Chazars or Bulgars or any other minor faction. Maybe an idea in the future would be to make a few of these exotic factions with maybe just one or two settlements and just 3-4 types of basic units as non-playable factions. Or better maybe as emergent factions should specific settlements rebel.

koultouras has made a wonderfull Avar/Lombard king's helmet for that era!
Look at his sig.
