All looking great, I especially like the Byzzie town. Great work!

[TheCataphract]

That Byzantine city, sweet heaven it's beautiful...

[j.a.luna]

Good improves MWY,but the model of horses of santiago's knights should have the santiago sign and don't be of orange colour...

[MWY]

The horses have the color of the faction they belong to. Makes them less generic.

More units:

Improved Hungarian Chivalric Knights:

- bigger/wider body
- darker/grittier plate armor parts
- more detailed robes

Improved Sicilian Chivalric Knights:
- bigger/wider body
- lighter plate armor parts with golden details
- more detailed robes

Looking good MWY. Lovely work.

[paleologos]

Beautiful works here people, well done everyone!

[j.a.luna]

Yes! Good job MWY!!! We wants more images!!! hehehe
I looking forward to play the new patch!!

[MWY]

Okay more images:

I reworked the russian roster a bit. Druzhina and boyars were awful and didn't match their ridden counterparts mostly. So I took the time and created an all-rusichi unit roster for novgorod and the rus.

New units (not from me but from rusichi):


Hunters (replacing EE Peasants, Hunters are a bit more useful though):

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Varjagi (new unit, axed warriors, mix between vikings from scandinavia and settled vikings in rus lands):

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

New Druzhina (replacing the old model, they now wear spears into battle):

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

New Boyars (replacing the old model, they now wear spears into battle):

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Druzhina and Boyars use the same models for mounted units. I also replaced EE crossbow militia and EE Peasant archers with the rusichi models. So now the whole roster of novgorod and the rus looks really really good in my opinion. It's also pretty unique since it's lacking swordsmen or axemen, but has some of the best spearmen in the game. The varjaqi come in pretty handy since they fill exactly the hole the russian factions had with this change.

[j.a.luna]

It is a big improve MWY, congratulations!
But do you do not think that russians will have too or much spearmen units? Furthemore of militias units,have the kiev guard(spearmen) and nogvorod palace guard(spearmen) so druzhina or boyars could have or fight with a secondary weapon as sword or axe, what do you think?
Varjaki are really great! Mixed viking and rus!ou yeah

[Lifthrasir]

@ MWY, good job Mate

@j.a.luna, I guess that the only way to confirm this is to test it

[umbracatervae777]

well, considering the Russians would encounter neighboring factions with cavalry as key unit (Poland, Cumans, Lithuania, and soon Mongols), i think that's pretty good

not sure if historical, but in Rusichi they had many spear units

[Lifthrasir]

Since we are in next patch preview, here are some pics about some Kahvipannu units that will be included as well:

Dismounted knights of St. Lazarus:

[Jimmeh36]

Looking good, will the unit cards also be updated to match the new look?

[j.a.luna]

@ MWY, good job Mate

@j.a.luna, I guess that the only way to confirm this is to test it

Ok i will test it hehe, and are there some note or notice about scandinavian units?more new model implemented in the next patch? As drenghar and viking drenghar new model...you said that the roster of norwegians and danes will change...

[Lifthrasir]

@Jimmeh36, may be not for the next patch but it is planned.

@j.a.luna, for now I'm implementing the units made by Kahvipannu. If I have the time, I'll add more new unit models for Scandinavian factions as well. If not, you'll have to be patient a bit longer

[j.a.luna]

Roger Lifth, it is good know that these roster will improve in a future,come on sship team!
