Description
Welcome to Manic's Roman Units - Exclusive to the 'Roman' culture and primarily aimed at those who are itching for just that bit of extra flavour when restoring the light of the Rome in the west.

This mod provides unique(ish) units for only the early and mid-game (which continue to be used in the late-game). As the Western Roman Empire had already fallen, even before the earliest start date, the mid-game troops are entirely fantasy in their design.

For those slightly confused about the use of a Frankish unit model for the light infantry, it's my attempt to represent the late Roman army's dependency on Germanic mercenaries. As far as I know, they came to make up a sizeable (perhaps even a majority) of Roman troops and they would have probably used their own equipment.

Alternate eastern (Romans Use Byzantine Units) mod HERE.

This custom unit pack should be fully compatible with any and all mods for Crusader Kings II, so long as they don't also edit units tied to the 'romangfx' culture.

Want even more modded units? Or perhaps you're just the nosy type like me? Then I humbly suggest that you check out my other unit mods, located in the Manic's Units workshop collection.

For those experiencing issues with the Workshop, or otherwise wish to bypass it for whatever reason, you can download a file containing all of the Manic's Units mods and add-ons here[www.dropbox.com]. Simply place both the folder(s) and the .mod file(s) in your CK2 mod folder (Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod by default).

All of these mods are both Ironman & savegame compatible.

my condolances, though luckily there are not to many cultures that need to be hit, as most have had unit packs made by paradox

Apologies everyone for the delay. Strangely, I had both a death and a birthday I had to deal with over the past few weeks. Whilst I wasn't all that close to the particular deceased family member, it came out of nowhere and still greatly affected my motivation.

I've also discovered that there's quite a creative hurdle to overcome when making these unit mods. I can only use the pre-existing models provided in DLC and is made worse by the fact that the newer unit files are incompatible with the older ones which means that it's very easy to start seeing designs that look 'recycled'. Unfortunately the pool of unique designs gets smaller and smaller with every new mod which will result in a longer wait time for new releases as it becomes harder to work together unique-looking designs. As such it looks like the number of future releases will be limited because of this.
