Wrath of Sparta Crests, Sandals, and Shields

This mod increases the visual differences between Greek units in the Wrath of Sparta campaign by giving all factions some unique variations to their crests and shields, making use of the crests and shield patterns from Rise of the Republic, and adding new ones.

I did not add any units, so this mod is purely an enhancement to the vanilla campaign. In addition to this, all units now wear sandals, from a model part that I added provided by Benjin. There might be a historical accuracy to soldiers fighting barefoot in this time period, but I never thought it looked good.

I really wanted to give each faction their own unique look without going overboard, and keeping it similar to the vanilla appearance. In particular I wanted to make the playable factions standout, especially Athens because they are the counterpart to Sparta. Some minor factions have been given a lot of attention as well though. For example I made the Ionian League have some minor similarities to the persians, Byzantion has a similar appearance to the Thracians, and the Akian League and Melos use a lot of Pylos helmets similar to the Spartans, because these two factions have a connection to Sparta/Laconia.

I have another mod that adds what I feel are some necessary units here, but I did not add them to this mod because the focus is just the vanilla units. Being subscribed to this mod in addition to the other mod will give those new units an improved appearance, similar to how units in this mod look.

Aguirre for the additional colored crests.

I hope you enjoy the mod, and let me know if you have comments or criticism.

Thank You,
