[IU] Alternate Feudal Age Units for Byzantines

Description
This is for those who like the "Independent Unit Compilation" mod, but disagree with Yuen's decision to use classical Roman units for the Feudal and Dark ages.

Though it's technically a Castle age unit, I decided to replace the elite skirmisher since broken wooden shield doesn't exactly scream "elite" to me. The archer still fits in quite well so it remains unchanged (it helps that the base game's archer is one of the ugliest units in AoE2). The scout and militia are going to stay the same as their vanilla versions since you usually don't spend that much time in the Dark age and, well... most militaries don't have official uniforms for militia or scouts. As far as I know, anyways.

Independent Unit Compilation

UPDATE
Replaced the man-at-arms, spearman, and elite skirmisher.

CREDITS
- spearman and man-at-arms are conversions from Civilization 3
- elite skirmisher is an edit of jorgito's unit by Ж Jenara Hodayc
- skirmisher belongs to jorgito

GREETINGS, DO YOU THINK THAT THESE UNITS COULD SOMEWAY BE PORTED TO DEFINITIVE EDITION WITH UHD GRAPHICS?

I really like the spearman, but I think previous is right that the iu byzantine skirmisher was actually preferable for accuracy and could cover slavs etc too. The detail is great but the figures are too small I can't make the best looking ones work with other units from different sources...

Could you please upload one with just Skirmisher Line only? There's another UI Mod with Byzantine units, "Byzantines to Classical Romans", which interferes with this one, because it also has the militia and spearman lines.

you could use this instead of normal militia: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=651959353

Can you make one that simply reskins nonIU all factions?

I think the roman skirmisher was good, could easily be early Byzantine too

Updated the mod. The changed units aren't ideal, but hey... it's better than using vanilla units.

Good idea, for me it should replace the standard Byzantine feudal units with these and make this set also usable for Slavs and Goths, then if someone wants to use Roman units for the Byzantines can always use this set https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1418384870

The ideas is good. But you could keep the first skirmisher, it could be an early byzantine fit. Not a problem.

Maube this better for the man at arms https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=718548694&searchtext=norse

Or this: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1106306379&searchtext=militia

Also, maybe use Jorgito's militiaman instead of this clubman https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1359996355&searchtext=militia
