Now I am busy studying the clothes of Georgian peasants and Svans. Their clothes in the 11th-13th and 14th-16th centuries are different. I will draw it in the near future.will fix the iconography mistakes.I will finish the work by drawing clothes

[Khevsur]

Also, in Georgia there were these shields, with shield boss in the center- this shields is for early and high period

[Khevsur]

I studied the clothes and there are some small news.
This is a late period svan and peasant clothing. The colors and animal fur remain the same



The clothes of svan and the peasant of the early period do not change.In these units, the early period clothing is ideal










add this wooden club for svans and Glekhi


Make Glekhi archers with Simple wooden bow or Glekhi Slinger ( Glekhi Slinger is better) - with wooden clubs and Georgian axes.

Update units description




Description of Georgian units- For Game


• Chukhchi - King's guard. They were physically strong and well-trained chosen warriors who always accompanied the king and protected him both on the battlefield and in peace time - in the royal palace. They were commanded by the commander of the guard - Chukhcherakhi (Achukhchi)


• Tadzreuli – from the Persian word Tacara – Palace. Paladins of the king or the noble bodyguard of the feudal lords. They were an elite heavy cavalry unit, few in numbers but high in competitive morale and skill. They were professional soldiers who were in constant military training. Tadzreuli included members of the royal family, young nobles from big feudal families, and even landless knights. Tadzreuli horsemen were heavily armed and their horses were also well-defended with horse armor.


• Aznauri– lower nobility, professional, well-trained warriors who held a small piece of land and were obliged to serve in the feudal army. Aznauri were the most numerous social class who made the bulk of Georgian heavy cavalry. Georgian heavy horsemen used the couched lance and mounted shock combat to break the enemy formation, inflict devastating damage, and cause their retreat. After the Mongolian conquest of Georgia and the influence of nomad warfare, Georgian cavalry also started to use mounted archery, but the charge of the heavy cavalry was still their main advantage even in the late medieval era.


• Mokme (Msakhureuli) – mostly promoted from lower classes, these heavy cavalrymen were chosen warriors whose main purpose was to always be ready for military action. They could be promoted and endued for their good service by their suzerain. “Kargi (a good) Mokme” was a synonym for the best warrior. Mokme was similar to the Western European knight in many ways, but the development of their ideology and knightly culture declined after the Mongol conquest of Georgia in the 13th century and they were called Msakhureuli (servants) which equals the ministerials in Western European feudalism.


• Monaspa – mercenary regular Elite unit of the Georgian king. They were highly disciplined, professional soldiers, armed with the best armament available. Monaspa was made by King David IV the builder in the 12th century. Their ranks were filled with landless Georgian lower nobility and north Caucasians, but mostly with Kypchaks. Kypchaks were settled in Georgia when David IV married the daughter of the Kypchak warlord Otrok and settled Otrok’s horde in Georgia to use their capable cavalry against the Seljuks. After the reign of David IV, Monaspa slowly decreased in numbers and disappeared after the big part of Otrok’s horde with their commander went back to the steppes and Georgian-Kypchak relations declined.


• Metsikhovne – Town (castle) watch. Units that guarded castles and town walls. Coming mostly from humble origin. There were spearmen and archer Metsikhovne units. On the battlefield, Metsikhovne infantry fought in close order formation and used their shields and spears to repel enemy attacks. They also were used to fire arrows in a volley.


• Pkhoveli – Fierce warriors from the mountainous region of eastern Georgia. They were first mentioned in ancient sources, in I century BC. These highlanders were free people who acknowledged the authority of the Georgian kings but weren’t part of Georgian feudal society. Pkhovians were masters of guerilla warfare especially in the mountainous areas. Since they wore black clothes and their shields were covered in soot and were black, enemies called them “Black Shield bearers”. In eastern Georgian highlanders, there was a tradition to cut off and collect the right hands of their dead enemies. Also, they had a bloody habit of blood feuding.


• Svani– Georgian sub-ethnic group, who lives in a mountainous region in western Georgia since ancient times. Svanians were strong and agile warriors, famous for their skilled archery and poisoned arrows. Svanians had the tradition of blood feuding like the eastern Georgian highlanders.


• Glekhi – Georgian peasants. They were peaceful farmers, poor smallholders of low social status who worked on the lands of Georgian nobles and paid taxes. Glekhi weren’t obliged to serve in the feudal army, but they were able to fight and were useful in defending the villages, and castles and sometimes even participated in battles, especially in the late medieval era, when the Georgian kingdom was divided into several small states with low military power.

I think there are many units in this mod that you can use for late period Georgians - I mean Tsardom total war - Ottoman units . The helmets are almost the same as the later Georgian helmets. Turkish kalkan shields are also here

Georgian medieval army was unknown until now. So I have to study and read a lot. My English is also not good. Sometimes I make mistakes, then I correct them. Sometimes I refine old textures and data more. Because of this, I often edit the posts. Please read my posts from the last page and make models according to it . Thank you for listening and considering my mistakes

I always wanted to draw this shield. Today I drew it. You can make metal details yourself.
p.s Maybe it wasn't metal details and it was a painting . From these shields, use the shield that you like and is of the appropriate color























You can use this song about the lost battle of Georgians. This song was sung to Georgian warriors who died battle against Khwarezmen - specifically Shalva Akhaltiskheli

The music is surely nice for stratmap mode

[Khevsur]

I think these Georgian melodies will be good for campaign melodies. No one will be against it. On the contrary, they will be very happy that these tunes will be in the game

If there are muskets in the game- Then I will create a concept art - Georgian gunner - Toposani ( თოფოსანი - Gunner )

In the 16th century, in the Kingdom of Kakheti( Georgia) was a 500-man gunner

He was probably like that




16 th century persian gunner - There would be such muskets in Georgia
