[Request] Unit variety thing.

[DancingStupidity]

So anyway, I realise this isn't historically accurate at all and I'm not particularly interested in getting into that discussion but I have a minor request anyway.

My little sister is just starting to play Attila and she was complaining that the female soldiers disappear in the later units for the barbarian nations (she's been watching entirely too much Vikings, I fear) I was wondering if there's yet a way to add them in? I'd be perfectly capable of adding them in using the game editor when they release it, but if there's a way to do it sooner I currently have some free time.

Download PFM from the workshop. It's easy enough to do.

There aren't many items of armour or clothing for the female body types, about all that that there is can be seen in the lowtier units. No easy way to get around that as it's an entirely different body shape to the males, so using male armours won't work well.

I dunno, as a sort of proof-of-concept I just tried doing a similar thing in Rome 2 (because apparently I need the visual aspect of TWeak to be able to do stuff), the females in male armour works well enough if you're not too picky about giving them hair/minor glitches. I do currently have way to much free time, so learning how to make armour and doing that isn't entirely out of the question.

keep me upto date because my overhaul will probably have higher teir mix units of men and women, for vikings and huns, probably not anyone else or maybe just a few german tribes that arnt christian here and there... as there is some proof that women did and have fought esspecially for nomadic peoples and the norse....

It seems to be similar to Rome II's editor on the surface. There are new "male" and "female" designation for new sections in the Variant Editor and I can't work out how to add a female one (or how to change a copied male one to female) just yet, may have to be done in the Pack File Manager instead.
