Not to take anything away from dIRECTOR, but except for the 3 new files (that include some pauldrons and other misc bits for the heavy swordsmen, its norm map, and some amazing sword and cloak textures, that I can't seem to find the unit they are used on) the gold and silver textures are identical.
Any other changes relating to the animations or models are completely unrelated to the color change.
The textures really are superb, with clear detailed fretwork on scabbards and saddles, fine etching on the blades, and a myriad of really nice details.
It's unfortunate that they are pretty much never going to be seen given the zoom levels in TW.
I also was experimenting a bit on matching the currently grey cloaks to the dark hue on the faction banner - Thoughts?
Or perhaps a Spartan red might be more appealing?
Just playing around really, but I did notice that it made unit identification much easier in the heat of battle while zoomed out a bit.
In any case, it's a fairly easy job to recolor the new bits, and I was thinking that, since there seems to be some interest in the gold, I might just zip the lot into an easy drag and drop package for those who are interested.
Your post (Stylix) seemed to be a bit cold, however, on the idea of making the change, and I don't want to step on any toes, so if you or any of the mod team would prefer that I left the textures as is, just let me know and I will refrain.
