NEW MODELS and BANNERS

The mod is currently in Byzantineboy's custody. I personally see no problem with making such a submod. It would be a refreshing different look.

[Dolen]

I mean, permission from those who actually made the models.
This submod is ready to be released, but that's my concern.

[Geoffrey of Villehardouin]

Permission is nice to have, but as most modellers are no longer active, in which case you have to make your decision as you see fit, if they do not respond in a reasonable amount of time. Some mods like Rusichi have given permission to everyone to use their models, but in any case acknowledgement is fair.

Inspiration for new heavy cav model of Seljuk of Iraq

No problem, you have all permissions. I am totally enthousiast for your project. Good luck!

Oh my gosh, I'm really proud to have Byzantineboy posting here
Just want to tell you that you are a genius and I played Broken Crescent like crazy

Thanks you!

[WeekendGeneral]

These look rad! Congrats dude.

New Roman heavy cavalry model (from Anatolian Principalities)

[jurcek1987]

Looks great but the old model is more accurate, this one is (or at least uses material) from Claudilo's Roman roster. While his units look very cool, they're not historical

Thanks for your feedback !
I do take into account historical accuracy, but not necessarily.

If any of you has a picture or something you want a unit to resemble in game, let me know!

[tomySVK]

Amazing work on Seljuk cavalry!

jurcek1987 is right, the BC team did great work on Roman units. If you need some more pictures of cavalry during Komnenian era here are few pictures:

@Dolen

Saracen flag is just awesome!

[Dolen]

Thanks!

I really enjoy making flags.
But I hope I will become skilled enough to create my own unit.
