Ok, first I want to say is
Thank you CROC Team for your great work.
You have covered one my favorites timeframe and this modification is so inspiring for me.
So, I want to show you results of my work with Armenia.
I've started with roster overhaul and now we got 17 new units.
Armenia was under huge Roman influence, furthermore Tiridat The Great grew up at the court of Roman Emperor and even participated in some Roman military campaigns before he rise up to the Armenian throne.
So I tried to make roster of Armenia kind a Romanized and not so fancy as at BC times.
I want to say thanks to CRoC team for those beautiful models/textures. I just make some new textures of mail/hats and shields based on this great assets.
Update (v.0.2.3)
Rebalance for foot royal guards
Update (v.0.2.2):
Armenian unit names
Reworked, more accurate, roster
Some model fixes
Update (v.0.2.1):
There are two new models - one for Nakharars and one (with two textures) for both Cataphracts
New skins for this units (added some new textures and chest disk based on iberian chest disk)
Update (v.0.2):
Little rebalance made (this part is hardest for me, so if you have any suggestions, tell me please)
Now there is a roster of naval units (it's completely the same, but with submod's units onboard
)
Both starting armies consists of Armenian units
There are two download links:
1) Version 0.2.3
Still with default CRoC Eastern units for Armenia (in this case you'll got too many units
)
2) Version 0.2.3
Without default CRoC Eastern units for Armenia (this one makes roster clear but
affects 3 original tables (commander_unit_permission, units_custom_battle_permission_tables and units_to_groupings_military_permissions_tables)! )
There is so much to do in future, but now we have this:
New faction symbol is Armenian Eternity Sign
