    Default Cataphract armor glitch (need to be fixed)

    Hi!First of all, great mod! But that doesnt even need to be said, as all of you that making it, already know that.

    However, one thing anoying me. It doesnt have to be fixed now, it can be fixed in future, i would just love to hear that it will be fixed.
    I dont know to edit units, so i cant tell what is wrong here, probably soem bone assigment, or something like that.


    Lets go to stuff. Cataphract armor (for hellenic and parthians) is somehow wrong. It gives feeling of 'fat' , unrealistic.

    Here it is

    Lets take a look from different angle. This is how it is

    As you can see its somehow too wide, have some empty space between horse and rider.

    How it should be? Like this

    Is every other armor bad? No, ofcourse.
    Here is example of armor put properly. As you can see, there is no some empty space between horse and rider. So legs not dropping into armor making glitch+ horse looks realistinc, not fat and 'wide'.

    Thats how it should look like. (Armenian Cataphract armor)

    For end... I am not forcing team to do it right now, im just trying to help finding out bad spots of mod. I would just love to hear that it will be fixed in future, one day. Thats all.

    Regards. And thank you for your art project.

    the reason behind the differences in the above examples might be the fact that they are works of different artists afaik. The last one is done by Arsaces II, the previous ones are older iirc... not sure if Arsaces could perhaps fix them though or if their original creators are still around to polish them a bit.

    edit: nvm, Rafkos beat me to it

    Just for to have it all in one thread I add that I have noticed and reported similar glitch with Roman Equites Auxilium. Although, they horses have no armour the riders legs disapears under the horse blankets.

    As I'm not home atm and have some hard time in rl I may not do this for the next patch, but it will be fixed in the future. Just wanted to let you know.

    Thats good, it doesnt have to be fixed soon. Mod can function with it

    Btw i checked every single cavalry unit, and found some more that have glitches.
    Here they are :
    1) horse_heavy_armour_baktria
    2) horse_heavy_armour_hellenic
    3) horse_heavy_armour_carthage

    They look wide, like helleninc/parthian cataphract armour. HAving space betwen horse and rider. However, its harded to be seen, because those armors are on 'half horse', not like hellenic/parthian that cover entire horse(so its easy to be seen on them).

    Best way to notice how wide those 3 are, is to compare them with scythian noble lancer mounts (they have properly armored horses, without spacing betwen horse and armor that makes it look 'fat and wide'.).
