Attila Elites v 1.01

The mod contains 25+ unique elite units for the vanilla factions of Attila and reskinned generals for ERE. WRE, Caledonians, Burgundians, Sassanids & Lakhminds. Most of the units draw on historical aspects, based either on linguistic evidence, traditional stories or under the mantle of historical fantasy aspects around that time period.

I mostly made the units for myself but being already a modder for Warhammer 2 CHECK MY WARHAMMER MODS HERE i decided to share them. Playing attila reminded me why i chose to love total war from rome total war 1 to this day. Attila being my favorite one and playing a lot out of steam when i was younger. Today I feel happy as overhauls like Terminus, With Fire & Sword, 1212 AD, Rise of Mordor and more give life to this game and inspired me to plan my future overhaul for attila after summer and my business obligations.

I do own all faction dlcs but not the campaign dlcs. However, the assets are ingame and can be used as i have use them for the creation of the units. I did not have any issues while playing with the units even though i do not own the dlcs.

For the reskins to take place you will have to load this mod first compared to other reskin mods.
