Etruria

Hello, this is my etruscan unit mod, which should portrait the Etruscans at 272 BC.

So you won´t seen Etruscan Axewarriors in my mod, because they weren´t used any longer at 272 BC:

...An interesting peculiarity of the Tyrrhenian battle system was the use of armored axemen who were trying through the hard blows of their heavy axes to create or exploit gaps on the enemy hoplite phalanx, paving the way for the comrade hoplites who were following them. This method, of Italian origin, was abandoned in the 4th century BC because of its inefficacy against the solid hoplite phalanx. ...

At this time the Etruscans had lost their territory in the Po-Valley against the Celts, the Samnites had conquered the etruscan territory in campania and finally Rome has conquered parts of South Etruria.

This led to a slowly assimilation of the Etruscans by Rome.

They became more italic.

So i decided to make them look more italic in my mod, reskin their roster mostly and add only a few units to their "italic" roster.

Vanilla units reskinned (so far):

-Artillery crew
-Mob
-Italian Swordsmen
-Levy Skirmishers
-Levy Slingers
-Italian Spearmen
-Etruscan Hoplites
-Italian Noble Infantry
-Italian Cavalry
-Italian Noble Cavalry

The 8 new land units are:

-Etruscan Medium Swordsinfantry (medium sword unit, recruitable from Manipular Barracks, Level 2)
-Etruscan Noble Swordsinfantry (high sword unit, recruitable from Cohort Barracks, Level 3)
-Etruscan Picked Hoplites added (recruitable from Cohorts Barracks, Level 3)
-Late Etruscan Heavy Swordsmen (high sword unit, recruitable from Legionary Barracks, Level 4)
-Late Etruscan Heavy Spearmen (high spear unit, recruitable from Legionary Barracks, Level 4)
-Late Heavy Auxiliary Cavalry (high cav unit, recuitable from Auxiliary Garrison, Level 4)
-Etruscan Archers (low bow unit, recruitable from Auxiliary Camp, Level 2)
-Oscan Heavy Skirmishers (medium - high javelin unit, recruitable from Auxiliary Barracks, Level 3)

2 new ship units:

-Assault Hexareme with Etruscan Medium Swordsinfantry (recruitable from Drydock, Level 3)
-Tower Hexareme with Etruscan Noble Swordsinfantry (recruitable from Portus Classis, Level 4)

3 new vanilla units added:

-Onager
-Onager Bastion
-Polybolos

Italic Officers reskinned and 10 etruscan custom generals added.

The Stats are developed on Vanilla stats and should fit perfect to Vanilla.
This is a semihistorical, but historic plausible Mod, based on Vanillastyle.
I tried to make it historical to my knowledge as possible.
You need an All factions playable-Mod to play this units by yourself.

Screenshots were made, while using Armoured Horses Mod, CIU East, CIU West from Avetis/CIU Team, CIU Iberian Tribes from Miri82, ACR - Alii Colores Romae: Totus from Demokritos, Better Horses, elephants and dogs HQ texture v2 from Noif1988 and NORMALMAP (decalmap) from CJiaBa. I recommend to use them for a better graphical experience.

I would thank:

-CA for the vanilla game and the assembly kit
-Sebidee for his great modding tutorial
-BoyaWho? for some of his unit icons
-Kraut and Tea for his cisalpine chainmails, ptolemaic cuirasses, italic tunics and illyrian helmets.

And if you like my mod, please rate. ;)
