Behind the Myth Historical Reskin

Description
Hello!!! Cthulhu here
history lovers here. Today I want to present my historical project, which has only vanilla elements so it is compatible with saved games and other mods.

Currently *THE REKIN COVERS*; the Achaeans with 95% advance, the Trojans with 98% advance and the Thracians with 90% advance, there are no plans to reskin the amazon faction.

This small historical project has the objective of reskinning all the "historical" units of the game, this in order to give the graphic section greater historical foundations, naturally in this reskin many creative liberties were taken due to the little information about the Mycenaean panoplies, since that we have some graphic base and an occasional panoply found such as that of dendra, which was used as inspiration for most of the heavy units of the Mycenaeans, for the Trojans inspiration was taken from the regional power of the age, the Hittites, themselves that thanks to the sources we know that they knew and maintained relations with the city of Wilussa (TROY) so the reskins of factions such as Hector, Paris and Aeneas were based on the Hittite panoplies, with the exception of lycia since the latter being related with the people of the sea called Lukka, received a mostly Aegean reskin and influenced by the panoplies described by Hittite, Egyptian, etc. sources.

The Thracian faction is the one that has the most creative freedom since there really are not many records on which we can base ourselves, since in the Homeric texts they are described with many similarities to the Achaeans and historically we only know of a helmet and a panoply that does not It exists in the game (and I don't know how to model) :(
However, the reskin tries to be faithful to the type of armor used at the time;)

IMPORTANT: It does not modify cars, heroes or add new models, there is still a lot of work to be done, which will be reflected in updates so any constructive criticism is welcome.

Finally I want to recommend some mods that pleasantly complement the mod:

I guess anyone who has made unit cards for Rome 2 can help.

Is it possible to have 2d unit cards for Troy like in Pharaoh? I would actually pay a modder to add historical 2d units for Troy as it is in the Pharaoh game, do you know someone who can do this?

ummmm I'll be honest, I tried to give the mod more variety because my testers had indicated a lot of uniformity, I'll take your comment into account for a future update, but I'll be later because I'm back to work and my time has been reduced a lot.

what happened to the renowned trojan swordsman helmets that were given to dardanian heavy anatolian swordsmen? Can you re add them? Also, can you give shielded trojan spears champions of troy helmets and phrygian axemen renowned trojan swordman helmets since all these units (except for the lycians) are hittites?

can you try? Already update

If I would like and maybe I do it in a few weeks since I see how to add models and another color, but as I return to work I have the tightest time :(

Think your on the right track. Everything looks fantastic. Only thing left if you desire would to be to add more clothing/armor variation options within the faction types so the units look less uniform.

The "Unit Variation Mod" does a great job at it but its not compatible nor is it historic.
