Update 39

Wrath of Sparta Update

Many custom helmet variants have been added, please report if you found any model is missing.

Since there are more than 70 new variants from the new DLC, it will definitely take me a long time to fully improve the vanilla variants.

However, it might be better to start the new DLC campaign "without" my mod for now as any update might cause problems to the ongoing campaign.

As the new DLC units cannot be used in custom battle now, it is also difficult for me to test the edited unit in the battle.

The following unit variants have been edited: (As I haven’t started the DLC yet, the name may be different from the ingame one)
- Greek Archers
- Greek Cavalry officer
- Greek Officer
- Greek Standard bearer
- Greek Hippeus
- Greek Hoplites
- Greek Javelinmen
- Greek light cavalry
- Greek Light hoplites
- Mercenary Cretan Archers
- Picked Hoplites
- Royal Spartans
- Spartan Hoplites
- Spartan Youths
- Theban Hippeus

Unit Edited:
- Hippeus, Light Cavalry, Theban Hippeus, Thessalian Hippeus: Ammo increased, missile weapon changed from precursor to javelin, attribute group changed.
- Javelinmen: Melee weapon changed
- Mercenary Cretan Archers: ammo +3, melee weapon changed, reload speed increased, animation changed to bow shield and swords, shield added, ability added. (Should be same as light Cretan archers in grand campaign.)
- Units with hoplite wall: square formation added

Update 38

If you find any bug please report

The mod is now compatible with the new patch
At least you can enter the game now
However, some models may be changed due to the new DLC

Variants Edited:
Late Carthaginian Hoplites: Montefortino helmet added
Sacred Band Units: edited to retain the colour scheme in previous patch

Units Edited:
Ability added to Mercenary Greek Veteran Hoplites, Thureos Spears and Tarentine Cavalry (should be the same as non- mercenary one now)

This mod is now "NOT" compatible with the new patch.
It seems that CA have changed/delete some entries with the new DLC like transports.
I will fix the mod ASAP.

Update 37

**Important: simple phyrgian helmet (with no cheek plates) has been removed from “basic” and “crested” phyrgian helmets. The simple one looks too “levy” to me. Also, it is usually the only helmet with no cheek plates within a unit (although it is historical).
Anyway, I have made a file with the old settings for Carthaginian Hoplites so that there is a helmet with no cheek plates other than the pilos helmet.

**New BSC scale linothorax on Carthaginian units?
Historically Carthaginian used a wide range of armour like linothorax, scale, lamellar…etc. Using the new BSC linothorax would be historical though, however, share too much armour models between factions/cultures is not a good idea (as they lose kind of uniqueness). That’s why CA make a set of “Carthaginian” linothorax. So I will not use the new BSC armours on Carthaginian at the moment.


New Unit:
Carthaginian Heavy Cavalry
- Similar stat like Greek Veteran Cavalry, higher attack and charge
- Unarmoured horse, slightly less HP (actually I buffed the man HP a lot), lighter weight
- Lighter weight makes them fast and have higher stamina (but also weaken their charge)
- Have charge reflector attribute, make them more cost effective than the Greek counterpart (I suppose Carthaginian cavalry should be better?)
- In my test with normal AI they have a close fight with Greek Veteran Cavalry still
- Scale armour (the one on officer)? Just look bad on them IMO without a cloak.

Variants edited:
- Carthaginian Cavalry: iron greaves added
- Late Carthaginian Hoplites: crested phyrgian helmets added, appearance chance of basic bronze greaves decreased

Misc.
Sacred Band voice added to SB Cav, unit junction “melee unit spears” added
