Actual royalty - A faction leaders reskin

Updated for the last patch. Added the Slavs and the Garamant leaders.
- Sclaveni: added cheekplates to the helmet; put a bronze scale armor on his traditional slavic tunic.
- Antes: added wolf pelt (you know, they have a wolf-related trait and worship a wolf god, so...); added a quiver, since they're great ambushers. If you've got some advice on how to improve this guy, please do tell me.
- Venedi: changed helmet to a more "royal" one; changed his tunic with a more solemn coat; changed his pants (I had to); added cape. I wanted to make him look like a sort of slavic landowner, this is why I didn't put armor on him.
- Garamantes: changed his headwear to an armoured one; changed his face to fit the new helmet; added greaves to cover the bare legs; changed the roman chainmail with an eastern scale armor. If you've any idea on how to improve him as well, please tell me.

I made this on request.

Greetings, everyone! This is my first mod, so don't go hard on me.
The goal of this mod is to make faction leaders look a bit more noble and royal, but without making them appear super-armored motherf****ing luxury tanks; moreover, I wanted to remain as close as possible to the original CA concept.
When Attila came out, I really loved to see all the faction leaders while choosing my factions; what I didn't like was the fact that most of them looked just like some regular soldiers. I've tried some mods in order to change their appearence, but each of them was either not really comprehensive, over the top and/or part of some larger faction reskin. So I decided to create my own mod, which I decided to share with the community, according to my own tastes and as possible true to the original faction leaders' look.

I'd really like to thank some other modders: Mauzer for the inspiration about the Roman emperors' reskins, which are based on his work and are just a little tweaked; and KLAssubanipal for the inspiration he gave me for Danes' and Vandals' leaders, which I modified according to my needs. Check out their mods, they're quite good!

I changed all of the faction leaders except Sasanids', Axum's, Himyar's, Alamans' and Langobards', because I found them to be already pretty cool and "royal". If you have any suggestions, let me know it!
Now for the actual changes:
- Huns: changed from leather armor to black lamellar armor; changed shoulders; added chainmail to the arms; added steel steppe greaves; changed campaign model to Attila's model.
- Eastern Roman Empire: changed scaled armor to a more historical jeweled muscular armor; added wrist jewelry; added historical elite roman greaves.
- Western Roman Empire: the helmet is now elite golden, provided with badass crest; added elite scale armor from Belisarius' DLC; added wrist jewelry; added historical elite roman greaves.
- Alans: this I changed competely in order to make him look a steppe nobleman and not a generic german guy. Changed his armor from germanic to steppe lamellar; added leather steppe shoulders; added steppe lamellar bracers; added steppe leather greaves; added steppe leather cheek plates.
- Suebi: changed his helmet from generic elite to a noble gothic one; added a fancy cloak; added that kind of chainmail with lamellar torso (sorry, I do not know its name).
- Vandals: added cool helmet; added full chainmail; added majestic bear pelt. Now he doesn't look like a surviving raider, yay!
- Ostrogoths: added steel greaves; added lamellar bracers; added cool cloak; changed helmet from generic spangenhelm to heavy elite spangenhelm.
- Visigoths: changed steel greaves to leather ones (just for aesthetical reasons); added leather bracers; changed helmet from generic spangenhelm to golden elite spangenhelm.
- Franks: changed from generic and absolutely useless leather tunic to that friggin' majestic scale armor from Belisarius' DLC. He didn't need much to look like a proper king, after all.
- Burgunds: changed trousers because yes; changed from roman-like scale armor to a cool long scale coat; added arm chainmail.
- Saxons: added crest to his helmet and added a royal cloak. He was pretty scary since the beginning.
- Geats: added berserker-like bear pelt in order to make him look more threatening; added arm chainmail. He comes from the far far north, so I left him a bit savage after all.
- Jutes: only changed his helmet to a better looking one. He was alright, in my opinion.
- Danes: changed generic ridge helmet with a golden elite one; added pelt cloak.
- Ebdani: added chainmail shoulders; added historical torque (why wasn't it there in the first place?); added new leather winged celtic helmet.
- Picts: changed trousers from germanic to celtic; added celtic patchwork cloak; removed skirt, so he's far more threatening and savage now; I think he already had torque, but, if he didn't, I added it.
- Caledonians: changed trousers from germanic to celtic; added torque here too; added cool noble circlet.
- Lakhmids: added wings to the helmet and added lamellar skirt instead of chainmail one. Man, this guy's awesome too.
- Tanukhids: added wrist and arm jewelry; added bronze greaves (don't worry, he's still badass-ly and desert-ly bare-footed).
- White Huns: I simply changed his armor from devil rider to a brass lamellar one, in order to make him look more eastern-like and distinguish him from the black hun leaders.
- A tweaked version of the Langobards' leader: his cape is now lower and doesn't look weird as before.

I hope you'll enjoy this mod! Have fun!
