v2.04

Hello again fellow Rome 2 fans!

This is my latest unit pack from my Expanded series, this time focusing on Egypt. I hope you enjoy it!
I'll update this mod many times in the near future, adding more units and correcting any bugs I can lay my hands on :D

List of contents:

1) NEW UNITS

Anubis' Chargers - shock and attack infantry inspired by Age of Mythology Anubites. Can move as fast as cavalry on the campaign map. Devastating charge and attack strengh, while defense and armour are nothing to write home about. Very good stamina. Can be recruited from level 3 and 4 infantry attack buff building, limited to 1 per campaign and battle.

Horus' Chosen - powerful hoplites who make up in defense skill for their lack of very powerful armour. Similar in strength to Carthaginian Sacred Band spearmen. Can be recruited from level 3 and 4 Horus Temples, limited to 1 per campaign and battle.

Sekhmet's Daughters - female sword & shield infantry. Good at both offense and defense (stats may be changed over time). Can be recruited from level 3 and 4 imperial temples, limited to 1 per campaign and battle.

Egyptian Chariots - 2-horse chariots with spearmen. Also has javelins to throw.

Set's Camels - elite spear & shield camelry of Set. Can be recruited from the level 3 and 4 cavalry buff building, limited to 1 per campaign and battle.

Late Egyptian Infantry - upgrade of Egyptian Infantry, available after researching Land Grant (Military Management)

Advanced Egyptian Infantry - upgrade of Late Egyptian Infantry, available after researching Weapon Proficiency (Military Tactics)

Late Egyptian Cavalry- upgrade of Egyptian Cavalry, available after researching Land Grant (Military Management)

Advanced Egyptian Cavalry - upgrade of Late Egyptian Cavalry, available after researching Tactical Flexibility (Military Tactics)

Advanced Egyptian Pikemen - upgrade of Egyptian Infantry, available after researching Weapon Proficiency (Military Tactics)

2) RESKINS
I have reskinned several vanilla units: Egyptian Infantry, Egyptian Cavalry, Egyptian Archers, Egyptian Slingers, Egyptian Javelinmen, Egyptian Pikemen.

3) NEW EGYPTIAN OFFICER SKINS
I have created an officer and a standard bearer sking specifically for the Egyptian native units. I hated to see Greek officers leading archaic looking Egyptian soldiers.


FUTURE PLANS:
Reskin Sobek Cultists.
Add some more religious units.
More shield patterns.

CHANGES LOG:
v1.01 - reskinned Anubis' Chargers. Added Sekhmet's Daughters. Corrected some stats, unit cards, colours etc.
v1.02 - corrected some texts.
v1.03 - added Set's Camels.
v1.04 - changed Set's Camels recruitment (see above).

v2.00 - added Late & Advanced Egyptian Infantry, Late & Advanced Egyptian Cavalry, Advanced Egyptian Pikemen. Also added shield patterns, modified some models, corrected data etc.
v2.01 - stuff now available for Emperor campaign.
v2.02 - replaced Set's Camel riders headdresses with custom made red & black coloured ones.
v2.03 - took away rapid advance ability from Anubis' Chargers.
v2.04 - corrected transports for regular units (Egyptian Infantry, Slingers etc.); severely increased upkeep costs for my unique religious units, increased their recruitment costs, gave them original Egyptian transport ships to travel by sea.

Horus' Chosen is by far the coolest heavy spear infantry I have ever seen, in both model and status design. However, this unit has a cap of 1, most unfortunate especially when players want to field a large native Egyptian-flavored top-tier army to hold their line.

Known bugs are related to buildings. When I installed this mod, it disabled the unique buildings of Ptolemaic Egypt.

Thank you for your fine work.

Hello there!
Thank you for your comment and your kind words!
Right now, I am working on updating my Warhammer submods to changes that SFO and other mods have brought in. And I'm also working on a new character pack with another modder. I must finish those first.

However, after quite some time, I'm interested in Rome 2 again, so I may return to these mods and see what's up with them and sort them out.
Making a grand pack was an old plan of mine. DEI is meh for me, although I know that many people like it (I like Para Bellum much better for example). Let me think it through if I want to do sth for DEI...

I hope that you are doing well also! :)

Hey man, I just stumbled across your amazing faction Expansion mods. Was wanting to ask you do you think you would be able to update them? Also, is it possible to make these unit mods work with D.E.I. without be super OP?? And lastly, on a comment I seen below here ask about making all the unit mods to one unit pack? You see I run many mods, as it is now I'm sitting at 34-35. Which from what I've heard is about the max the mod manager can handle..Although, if you can make it happen, I'd gladly turn off a few to turn yours on...(side note, if you don't mind, please keep me in the know.) No matter if it's good news and you can do it, or bad news that you won't be able to. Anyways, thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope all is well for you.

Yes that's been planned since like 3 years ago or so. Sadly I had not the time to do it. Also, I had serious issues with my computer. I now have a new pc so this may be back on the table soon.

It's probably because if no update. I can't do it because the unit variant editor doesn't work properly for me for some reason. It reads all the model files wrong :(

none of the units seem to appear in campaign. is this a not updated problem, or a me problem?
