Dacian Swords - New medium infantry for the Getae!!

Description
Welcome to my first mod. :))

It ads a new sword armed unit for the getae(custom unit card included), balanced around similar units like celtic warriors or galatian swords.

To recruit it you will need to have a lvl 2 blacksmith and upwards, so if you have an iron workshop wich is a lvl 4 building you can still recruit them with bonus xp.

As i said this is my first step into modding a total war title and i already have planned a barbarian unit pack which will include 2-3 new balanced units per faction, keeping all of them the visual style of the vanilla game.

I made this mainly for personal use, as i didnt find any balanced and visually cohesive units packs that i liked. I like to play with mods as Divide et Impera from time to time, which changes all units making them more realistic, but when i play the vanilla game i like to have the feel of visual cohesion.

Finally this was made thanks to sebidee and his awesome guide which you can find here:

Im open to constructive opinions and criticism so be sure to comment below.

-Update 1: Added some dacian swords naval units and improved the unit card's colour to better match the other getae unit cards.

I' ve just released a Getae roster expansion including this unit and 3 new ones. Be sure to give it a look:

Look great... but Suebi isn´t weak anymore.. there are lots of packs for them.. maybe you could make for Africa..

Great :) looks like you'll be going for realism too, great!

My plan for the moment is to add some more balanced units to factions with somewhat poor rosters like the Ardiaei, the Suebi, the Odrysian Kingdom, and the Getae of course.

Awesome! That's a good unit to fill out a poor roster. What else do you have planned?
