Description
Welcome to Manic's Italian Units - This mod aims to add more period-appropriate unit models for the Italian culture in the early and mid-game. No longer will they be walking around in full plate in the 800s.

The DLC Italian units are still utilised, but will only appear in the late-game. The only change this mod makes to them is to the pikeman model (pictured above) which, I hope, looks more reminiscent of the famous Swiss Guard regiment of the Papal States.

Early models are mostly the southern (Iberian) variant of the generic early western european roster added in the Charlemagne DLC. However, the heavy infantry and cavalry models have been modelled on a number of reference images for soldiers of the Lombard Kingdom. They look distinctly 'barbarian' but do retain some features reminiscent of the Roman Empire of old.

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 'italiangfx' 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.

hmmm if that is the case why can't you replace the Armor to the Italian Full Plate Armor one from the Italian Unit pack? The Halberd as a Pike is really a very Good of weapons btw!

@Disco-29 - It's because they use the archer unit model from the Military Orders Unit Pack. The quiver is an integrated part of the mesh and cannot be removed.

I'm sorry just a quick question! but why does the Late Pikemen have Arrows on their backs??

@Seigneur Fantôme - The problem with this is that I'd essentially be offering EUIV assets for free to users on the Steam Workshop. While I'm no solicitor, I can confidently say that this is almost certainly illegal and/or against Paradox's terms and conditions.

@ Seigneur Fantôme - Sorry, I don't use Discord. I've got AvPD so that sort of thing scares the life out of me. If you want, you're free to temporarily add me as a friend so you can PM me about it.

@Seigneur Fantôme - Not 100% sure it's possible, but I'll see if I can give it a go. It would require assigning the Papacy title its own graphical culture, similar to how it is done for holy orders. I've never tested it may not work.

Would you be alright with the late-game pikeman models from this mod serving as the base for the models in a Swiss Guard mod, but with an altered shield to make them more accurate and give them a bit of flavour? Unfortunately, I don't think there are any other models that look similar so I'll probably have to re-use these. If you're fine with this, and assigning cultures to titles works, I could probably release it by tomorrow since I won't have to worry about designing an entire roster.

One major issue you should be aware of though is that, since I'll have to add a unique Papal graphical culture, it won't be ironman compatible, nor would you be able to run it with any of the major overhaul mods such as CK2Plus or HIP.

possible to create swiss guard for papacy? :3

@theirishturtle - I'm not sure what's causing this one, sorry. I've looked in the mod files and there doesn't seem to be any errors or oversights. Similarly, I cannot seem to replicate this issue on my end. I notice from the screenshot that you're using other mods, perhaps there's a conflict? I'd recommend disabling them all except for the Manic's Persian Units mod (or the main Manic's Units mod if you use that instead) and see if the weapon is still missing.
