Epic Spartan Reskin

Description
READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE POSTING COMMENTS.

THIS MOD PRETTY MUCH DOESN'T REQUIRE UPDATES TO WORK WITH ANY FUTURE VERSIONS OF THE GAME. IT HAS REMAINED WORKING FOR YEARS AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO DO SO.

*IMPORTANT*
A new version without the helot reskins can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1910167098

This mod simply reskins the following units:
-Spartan Hoplites
-Heroes of Sparta
-Royal Spartans
-Spartan Pikemen
-Periokoi Hoplites
-Periokoi Spears
-Periokoi Pikemen
-Periokoi Peltasts
-Helot Archers
-Helot Javelinmen
-Helot Sligners
-Spartan Officers
-Spartan Standard Bearers

*Umbra Et Provocatus is no longer avaliable since DogSoldier disappeared. This mod should remain compatible for anyone who still has the Umbra Et Provocatus mod files*
It is also full compatible with DogSoldierSPQR's Umbra Et Provocatus mod, and reskins the following units from that mod:
-Periokoi Swordsmen
-Helot Spearmen
-Helot Swordsmen
-Helot Reserves
Link to mod: *This mod is no longer avaliable*
The previously linked mod manager for this mod seems like it probably doesn't work anymore. The best way to get one mod seems to be by renaming to mod so that the TW launcher automatically loads it after. I can't rename the mod file to do it automatically unless I reupload the mod with a new file name.
Link to the old mod manager if anyone is curious or is looking for more information:

*It seems like lemon's mod probably no longer works. If anyone can get it working, my mod should still be compatible although I'm not sure anyone ever used them together*
It is compatible with lemon's spartan secondary swords mod as well.
You can find his mod here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=245438702
This again needs to be ordered correctly to overide his files with mine (See description for Umbra Et Provocatus compatibility). It doesn't work with this mod and Umbra et Provocatus yet.

*Again DogSoldier disappeared and so did his shinier weapons and armour mod so there is no point suggesting that mod anymore*

The helot reskins are those of Dogsoldier with a few edits and the Periokoi are inspired by his Periokoi Swordsmen (Both were done with his permission) so credits for those go to him. He also has had own youtube channel that I would have suggested you check out but it also disappeared.

*It would seem like Mech_Donald's blood mod may well not work anymore either so I recommend just using another mod that improves blood. I'll leave the link here for now but it's probably better to try using an alternative mod to improve blood textures*
Another great mod to use with this is one that requires the blood and gore DLC but makes a dramatic improvement is Mech_Donald's blood mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=192112624

Report any issues in the comments but please give more information than simply "It doesn't work" or "update pls" because it is much easier for me if you tell me what is actually not working even if that is simply that the game crashes on launch. IF IT IS EVER LISTED AS OUT OF DATE IN THE LAUNCHER, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT DOESN'T WORK, IN FACT IT PROBABLY WILL. If you are running any other mods at the same time and it doesn't work, it's more likely to be another mod or your specific combination of mods so I suggest trying this mod by itself before saying it doesn't work.

@Last Spartan
It does change generals if I remember correctly. Best option is to setup your load order so that FRA's reskins load after my mod so that they'll override the general reskins in this. Depending on how FRA has setup their mod, it may work with the load order either way around but loading FRA's reskins after is the best way to ensure you get those general skins.

Does this do anything with generals? I use FRA's Spartan general reskin and I'm wondering if these will work together.

Here is the version without the helot reskins: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1910167098
I have to agree tbh the helot skins really do look awful. If you encounter any problems with it I'll try and fix them as soon as I can.

In all honesty I'm pretty surprised this still gets used. I have a very busy day tomorrow and a potentially busy week. Since people still seem to use this I will try to make a separate version without the skirmisher reskins when I can. I recommend subscribing to this thread if you haven't already since I'll post a link here when I get round to making and uploading it.

@Virius , could you maby please remove the helot javelin and archer skins? or at least offer just the spartan and hoplite skins in a seperate pack, because I agree with @Floro7125, the skirmishers just look awful
Floro7125 21 Oct, 2019 @ 6:01am 
I LOVE THE MOD BUTTT pls could u change the helot archers and overall range units to original they look edgy and even though I DAMM LOVE THE LOOK OF THE SPARTANS it really takes a toll on me to see the edgy range units so if u could spare some time just to change it PLEASE

This mod is beautiful and I'm in love with you for making it! Take that as you will but you are a artist for Total war series!

@Spartang
There was an issue getting that to work previously. If I have time, I might try again or just see if there are new items added to the game that I can implement.
