    Default My personal wishes fo the next major DeI update.

    Hi, I have been playing DeI for more than a year. Along with the fact that the mod is amazing there are some things I would like to see changed.
    First, to be honest the units cards are not that informative. They often do not reflect the actual units. They repeat, sometimes, for different units they may be the same, and sometimes they don't look like the actual units in the field. For instance, the eastern factions have all the same unit cards and it becomes useless at some point. You just have to stop and read the name of the unit.
    Second, almost all unit models are very sexy, their shield, dresses. But to me they are all a bit too bright. Maybe you could fix the contrast, sharpness of the colors so they could look a bit more realistic (maybe it is the whole Rome2 lightening). With this brightness they are more cartoon-like, but they have all the potential to be very cinematic.
    Third, the names. It is cool that names of units, factions and towns are in native but sometimes it is hard to determine what the crap you have just read. For units, maybe you could write the names in native and then in English in parenthesis near it? Maybe the same for factions names. And as you could do that on the map - the towns will be in English. So we could have the both in one.
    Fourth, I won't fade my personal attitude to the faction Armenia ( I am Armenian ). The faction is cool in DeI, with its own culture etc etc... But the way "Armenians" are depicted is a bit poor. Generals' dresses, faces, names are not Armenian at all. I could help you with the historical names etc. The roster - it is really good. The troops are diverse and accurate. I see that the faction got the love it missed in the vanilla. But again, the units' faces and dresses are generic "eastern". For instance Avetis' Armenian units are "Armenian" while in DeI they are "Eastern". So that would be a big pleasure for me to play with Armenia (with Armenian names, characters) and feel that they are Armenians fighting in the field. Plus, in the Grand Campaign resource "iron" is removed from Van, I wonder why?
    Best regards.

    One is already being adressed. See the unit cards thread in the submod forum to see some of them. Creds to Rusty for making them and becoming a valuable Member of the team.

    As far as this goes, we do have the English unit names in parentheses in the description. For the faction and city names, I've made English faction and city name submods. I think the names would be too long if we added the English ones in parentheses.
