Women Warriors

UPDATED FOR ANCESTRAL BETA!

With this simple mod, your faction's womenfolk can finally go to war alongside the men!

This mod adds female models to appear with a number of low tier barbarian units. With it you avoid both immersion-breaking gender segregated units as well as non-historical high end units. Now your levies will really be drawn from all those willing to fight, and both genders appear to defend their villages!

Now I've seen a lot of mods that add new female units to the game, the difference here is that I didn't use any male modeled clothing on the female models without testing it first to make sure it looked alright (the female models are slightly less bulky than the males). This is actually part of why female models are restricted to lower tier units: all the female clothing is cloth or leather, so to make them wear the same armor as high tier units would make them look... off.

I've made no changes to units whose name or description implies that it should be all male or all female (e.g. bloodsworn, spear brothers, etc.).

Women should appear in ratios of roughly 1:3 or 1:2 and are equipped and dressed as close to the base unit as I could get them. There is no impact on gameplay or framerate.

Affected factions and units are as follows:
African: African large shield warriors, African elephants (riders), leopard warriors, javelinmen, archers, tribal slingers, tribesmen, levy spears.
British: ambushers, farmers, levy spearmen, skirmishers, slingers, spear band, sword band.
Carthage: mob.

Germanic: club levy, longbow hunters, round shield swordsmen, slingers, spear levy, spear wall.

Illyrian: marines, raiders.
Kush: royal guard, high-tier officers.
Nomadic: steppe archers, armoured horse archers, horse archers, horse skirmishers, steppe lancers, steppe spearmen, steppe tribesmen.
Rome: plebs.
