[IU] Independent Unit Compilation for 5.8

Description
Now with only five regions left to go (and with all sorts of crazy regular updates)!

Independent Unit Compilation

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 Omkar which is required.

This mod must have higher priority.

Civs are now divided into 23 groups for units by the data mod. This compilation still uses only 18 of the groups:
  • Celts
  • Western Europe: Britons/Franks
  • Central Europe: Vikings/Goths
  • Teutons
  • Southern Europe: Spanish/Portuguese + Italians
  • Eastern Europe: Byzantines + Slavs
  • Magyars
  • The Steppe: Huns/Mongols
  • Malians
  • Ethiopians
  • The Middle East: Turks + Persians + Saracens/Berbers
  • India
  • East Asia: Chinese/Vietnamese + Koreans
  • Malay
  • South East Asia: Khmer/Burmese
  • Japan
  • New World: Aztecs/Mayans
  • The Inca
Any other normal/non-IU unit mod that you give higher priority to will only affect Britons and Franks.

Thanks to newer versions of Wololo Kingdoms, a version of this mod[www.voobly.com] is now available on Voobly. You no longer have to choose between performance and unit variety.

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

Why is that? There was version made for it https://www.ageofempires.com/mods/details/20549/
But it looks like it's not working now...

@Timujin that is not happening

Please make such a mod for Definitive Edition, unique architecture would be great as well.

I really love this mod ! Just sad that Slavs are not with Hungarians as ''Slavic European'' style

Hi, does it change units in campaign too? Aztec first mission in Conquerors, I can make militia which looks 'Western' themed. Hmm. Using it with Omkar's mod

@YuenHsiaoTieng ahah allright. Thank u so much for the reply. Yes I tried to track the artists but that war really hard, so I decided in the end to make the slx and slp files of the units myself, I think I'll make the mod for the old HD version tho, still not sure about DE as there are not so much articles and tutorials about the new game I am afraid.

@alessandro.ntnt Even tracking down all the original artists is impossible. Thank whom you can and be ready to be respectful if one of them messages you, but otherwise go nuts. I hope this new mod of your is for DE. No should still be on this outdated version!

Hi, first of all, thank you so much for this huge mod!
I have been playing with the slp files to create "my own civs" and now I was thinking about trying to work to a mod for the workshop in which I put around 5 fresh fantasy-like factions. And I was thinking of using some of the slp files in here to create the new units for the new civs. I wanted to ask u if u needed to ask the permission to all the artists that made these awesome slp files (graphic of units). Because if u did so I think I'll have a hard time in finding which artist did what graphic.
Thank you for your time and for you amazing collection of units and mods.
