[IU] Independent Unit Compilation (old)

Description
This is a compilation of unit artwork borrowed from all over the workshop and blacksmith and distributed to the new independent unit civ groups to be compatible with the new independent architecture plus independent unit data mod of Saint_Michaels_: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1358987843&searchtext=

This mod must have higher priority.

This is a work in progress but will be updated frequently. Suggestions encouraged.

Civs are now divided into 6 groups for units:
Europe (uses default or whatever normal reskin mod you're using)
East Asia
Africa + Middle East + India
New World
Byzantines
Huns

Units not yet added will still use default graphics.

We're almost finished! Well, with this beta phase anyway. The only yet untouched units are...

Asia: militia, skirmisher line, scout line
Arab: cavalry archers
New World: (finished)
Byzantine: crossbow, arbalest
Huns: skirmisher

Major thanks to all the artists: Saint_Michaels_, Ivindor, peter88, TriRem, Jorgito, Derfel Cadarn, Zyth.uDT, Sandris, Yuang, leong_winglam, [Salty] Euron Naharis, Jenara Hodayc, julianbaba4, Jorritkarwehr, Achesun, Tomcelmic, Khan Ivayl, vinarianstorm,The_Warmaster, R_V_A

The following works of Jorgito are strongly encouraged. Again, they and any other standard reskin will now affect only European units if using Saint_Michaels_'s data mod. Compiled by SpaceDundee and Emetann, the essentials are:

Sword Line Option 1: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1369185685
Sword Line Option 2: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=546878670
Spear Line Option 1: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=547474154
Spear Line Option 2: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1371685596&searchtext=

New Knight Line Option: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1379502079

YuenHsiaoTieng Sounds, thanks for the great job you're doing! I agree with WeAreGoyim that Jorgito's horse archer is too European for be used for the Asians. If i could do a sugestion, byzantine knight looks so arabic, doesn' t looks byzantine, and Hun paladin doesn't seems a barbarian. Congratulations for the Byzantines sword and pike lines!!

@Zhizhou Zhang Sure thing! Accept my apologies.

@YuenHsiaoTieng
Can you include”Ivindor” in credit in the description of both the old and the new IU mod? since middle eastern paladin and Asian halberdier you used is made by me.
Thanks

Final Update: Byzantine scout line updated. Old light cavalry demoted to scout. New Light cavalry and hussar. This is the final update for this beta version. Support will be discontinued for this mod and a new mod will be posted in celebration of this (near) final form.

Today's Update: Replaced Asian and Hun knight and cavalier with TriRem's. Added new Asian man-at-arms. Demoted previous to militia.

@Zhizhou Zhang I'd really like your permission, but if you don't change your mind I'll change these immediately.

@Zhizhou Zhang. When do you plan on continuing your work? Might those cavalry units remain in the mod if Yuen ads you in the credits? It's quite difficult to find slp's with hifgh enough cuality. How about you collaborate and create the best ever mod for AoE2?

Today's Update: Added Asian crossbow. Removed "Roman" Byzantine cavalry archers. Added cataphract archer for Byzantine and Arab heavy cavalry archer. Added pretty pictures.

It will now be easy for everyone to see which units still need work/color fixes/shadow fixes. Nothing is final yet, but we're getting closer, so speak up now if there's a unit choice to which you have a particularly strong opposition.

Awesome updates, this is easily one of those mods that keeps me coming back, wondering why the original game didn't get this sort of love.

Today's Update: New Arab crossbow as previous was too monk-like in appearance.
