Faction Revamp mini-mod (Latest update 14 April)
Welcome!
The purpose of this mini-mod is to improve some factions as closely historical as possible in appearances, unit stats, and some scripts. But also prioritize on gameplay.
It was used for my personal use but somehow i think it's quite waste if i didn't share it.
It's start as a simply retexturing units without touching anything on unit stats or recruitment system. But then i go further to that.
I mainly do eastern factions because somehow those area need a little bit spotlight.
Alright then let's begin!

Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
:luv:Umbra That's cool. I have just learned how to make units.. I will have a lot of work. I advise you to create base of other Georgian era units. And I will improve them visually.It's a bit difficult for me to work with bones and texts
A small note-Chukhchi was a bodyguard.
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
King and other generals share same bodyguard so that's why i swap Chukhchi and Tazreuli
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
Yes, change it - put the Chukhchi cavalry as bodyguard of general , otherwise he loses his role
Actually,Mokme (servants) cavalry should be available in the early era. Exactly then they played a big role in the success of the Kingdom of Georgia.
I must classify the shields of high-class units. There are some of my early first steps artwork, after which I painted some cooler shields
Do you use sship animation for units? I tried to use the animation for the Pkhoveli warrior during the conversion, but Iwte wrote an error
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
Congratulations, @Umbra!
I really like your changes, esp. unit cards (well, I don't have time atm to delve deeper).
I think we'll be careful to keep the future versions (when they're ready) of the mod either compatible or easy for you to adjust your minimod.
cheers!

@Umbra: Magnificent work! :bounce:
As soon as I have some time, I'm going to use your mini-mod to improve this part of the world and make it more historically credible. Indeed, your changes deserve to be integrated into SSHIP. I hope they accompany the new versions of our mod.
Congratulations ! :thumbsup2
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
Awesome work @umbra!!!Looking forward to seeing it in the next version and playing a campaign with the Georgians! Now they look much more interesting and historical!:thumbsup2
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
I am making a mini mod of the headlights to my taste. I mixed green and blue colors with red colors. I will not load the shields with many crosses. Iron frame and ornaments together are clearly inappropriate and unbeautiful.
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
Wow it's cool, i think if you add different pattern like cross variations for each color will be better

It was just a test. I have big plans about shields. There will be a total of 3 - maximum 4 cross shields. But the colors will be very beautiful. When you do it yourself, you do it better.I also plan to make details about the body armor. I have a question. How create you shields photo sharp and beautiful - despite the small resolution?
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
I simply put your designed shield and then resize it to fit with the size in game. Make sure the images in not too small in texture file
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
I think it's perfect-Very beautiful colors. No one will have such beautiful shields in this mod . I didn't like the white color of the cross - it was out of style. There are more such colors on Georgian miniatures. Now I will classify the shields of the Tadzreuli
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
UPDATE!
Mini update uploaded, here's the changelog:
Link available in first post
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
Remaster of Tadzreuli Shields :D
I'm not uploading files yet. I want to finish completely.
and Aznauri last update
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod
Today I added new spears to the tadzreuli unit. I think I will also attach flags to their spears. Then, I will give all the cavalry their respective spears.
Re: Faction Revamp mini-mod

Thank you, Umbra and I are painters. That's why we do such good detailing. Then I'll make the "Mokme" shields

really impressive! Looking forward to testing the Georgians with these new models! a question @umbra and @Khevsur, when you complete your Georgian work, perhaps you can touch up other culturally similar units such as the Armenian units? and even other Orthodox factions like the Serbs! it would be fabulous!

After working on Georgia (it takes a long time). I think I will work for Armenian and North Caucasian mercenaries. I don't know about arming Serbia and I don't know if I will have time for it
