The Saxons Are Awesome + Vikings Units

[Marcus Iska]

Hi Hadrien,I wonder if there is any chance to make your mod for those who don't buy the DLC ??

[Fedual]

Why would we need the DLC´s? All the new faction units (and thus mod resources) are still in the game for us that didnt buy the DLC´s, only difference is we cant play with them, so why would we need the DLC´s? Essentially the only thing you pay for when you buy factions is the unlock, not the resources that the new units use. This is why i am not buying these faction DLC´s, i did in Rome II because the factions were interesting for me to play with. But for Attila i am perfectly satisfied with playing ERE, WRE & Franks. I am simply not interested in playing as my forefathers the vikings or the longbeards, atleast not at this moment.

EDIT. Tested it just to make sure: DLC´s are NOT needed, it works perfect and nothing is missing. So again, you do NOT need Longbeards or Vikings DLC.

Really? My bad i made a mistake thank to you to clarify this. I will change the OP title right now.

I'm sorry i mislead you, you can use this mod without DLCs.

The mod looks fantastic. I just wanted to ask, is the coloured spears mod that you linked at the bottom included with this mod? Or do I need to download it separately?

It's included with this mod.

[Felixlynch777]

It's included with this mod.

Oh I see. I didn't notice any coloured spears when I tested it. What units have them?

[Hadrien Ier]

The elite duguth spearmen.

Do you think you'll be working on more mods using the Longbeards DLC assets in the future? Would be cool to have more units with those beards, also it increases the value of the DLC with mods that complement it, sort of like how Skyrim's mods allow for a greater variety and depth of mods.

Oh and I bought the Longbeards DLC with this mod as one of the reasons behind it, hope you'll continue to support it!

[Hadrien Ier]

Well I don't work for CA, saying that i support this DLC is a little be misleading. I only use all the assets available to me.

Edit: nevermind i have misunderstood you.

By the way, aren't those scutum like longshield totally a-historically and wrong?

[Hadrien Ier]

Probably, suggest what you want instead and i will do it.

[Olennius]

Excellent reskin, thanks!

[Hadrien Ier]

The mod has been updated.

On the good advice of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus i have removed the oval shields. I added some new stuffs too, like a visible throwing axe for the units who use them:

I also added a spatha inspired of the one discovered at Sutton Hoo:

The mod has been updated. [...]

Wow, so much attention to detail. Will check it out asap. Thanks man

[Hadrien Ier]

Fixed the lack of variety of the shields patterns in the previous update.

Edit: fixed 2 errors in the VMD of the saxon lancers and the marine berserkers.

[Sir Sloaks]

These are some seriously lovely reskins, instant download for me as they are my favorite faction! +1 to you sir

[Hadrien Ier]

Corrected seax shaders and positionning.

I have reworked the pikemen, i gave them shorter spears and removed their shields; they look less like the Aléxandros's phalanx.

[Arthalion]

nice work !

[Marcus Iska]

No problem, for the moment I play with the Arthalion version but be sure I will test your mod later !

[Arngrim]

Well done! Now they feel like more saxons, and are distinguishable from the viking factions.
