The modelling is good on a technical level, but in no way is accurate to the Roman armor of the time at all.

this is great. could you be able to add A/D testudos to these units?

Thank you, I'll make sure to give proper credit and a link to your mod.

sure

Hi, I'd kindly like to ask your permission to use your beautiful lamellar pteruges cuirass and padded cuirass variants (seen in the second and third screenshot from the left) in my own unit mod.

wasnt it a must or mandatory to have a clean shaven face? they look barbaric.

Man, your reskins are great. Could you make some more for other factions? Even Grand Campaign factions perhaps?

I must save I've fallen in love with some of the armor models, would it be possible for me to use some of these for my mod?

i suppose this is the final version

cool

I am sicilian :D

Any one know what has happened to Avetis been off line for 43 days.

You probably make the best reskins tbh. I hope you make more in the future b/c I love these.

I really liked how you did the bowmen, finally giving them arrows so it does not look so much asspulled. idk why, but simply them having those arrows gives me more immersion into the game.

Excellent mod by the way. Thanks for making it, too bad it dont work with the regular byazantine faction. :)

Should not some of the horses have some armor? :)
Ive seen plenty of pictures of armored byzantine horses but maybe they were from a later time period? Ive never understood the point of armoring rider and not horse in any case, just aim for the horse and no more threat from that direction. :-D

yes, should work

Does this work with Moon Hoplite's mod: AoC Theme of Sicily (with missions, Empire events, victory conditions, families, balanced unit roster, etc)"

It fleshes out the Theme of Sicily a bit more than the standard faction unlock mod.

Also I agree with previous posters that it would be cool if the beards were gone. Just my two cents.

Okay, so at certain angles, the shadows are fine. In fact, on the highest visual settings, it's hardly noticeable. I don't play on the highest settings, and the shields are shiny. It's only when they are facing a certain direction.

I have no graphic mod running, and it still does this. It could very well be another unit mod, although I doubt it. The skutatoi look pretty ridiculous in the shiny red and yellow shield. It's not a big problem, just shiny shields. I have to say, it makes the units stand out with luminating shields at an angle. The dark side doesn't really bother me. It's not my brightness or gamma either because it's still bright with 5 gamma and brightness while units are invisible. I'll post more if anything changes.

hm, mine shields are ok, actually.

oh, need to check this

Is it just me, or is the light reflecting off the wrong side of the shield? The shields are shinning when the armor are not, and the armor are shinning when shields are not.

Amazing work. Is there any way to use this mod with the Main campaign using ERE?

@Mr. Hyde
Thank you.
I think i won't make them for a while. I recommend you to try "Knights of the Oriflamme" mod.
Ahiga, the author, is my teammate at TotE team and you can find some of my models/textures there as well.

Hey Avetis, Awesome work as always. Will you ever get to reskinning the Asturias faction? I'm waiting until you've completed the rest of the factions before I try them out. Keep up the excellent work!

@Fall3n
Yes, we sure. They use it till 10th AD. No kite shields for this period for sure.

Are we sure they were still using Roman style oval shields like that? I'm talking about the sword guys in the 7th picture.

I am also down with getting rid of most of the beards :P

probably you are right :)

I think that it would be better with less beards and more roman faces, but it's only my point of view, and maybe not historically accurate ^^
Nice mod anyway :P

Sicily wasn't controlled by muslims during Charlemagne actually. Before Emirate of Sicily was established at 831 there were a lot of attacks on Sicily (Theme of Sicily, Theme - is a part of Byzantine Empire), but not the conquest

This mod just reskining the existing faction. How this mod could be unhistorical?
Btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicily_(theme)

During the time of Charlie the island was controlled by muslim arabs not the the greeks. the island was captrued in 652. It did not become christian agin intell 1071 When th Normans reconqured it. I this mod is a little unhistorical.??Muslims, who first invaded in 652, seized control of the entire island from the Byzantine Empire in a prolonged series of conflicts from 827 to 902. An Arab-Byzantine culture developed, producing a multiconfessional and multilingual state. The Emirate was conquered by Christian Norman mercenaries under Roger I of Sicily, who founded the County of Sicily in 1071.

Yes you need the mod to do that.

I mean to play battles only in single player

look at the description, there is a link to the mod which openes Sicily

I mean single player - custom battle

i will reskin all AoC units

incredible work! do you have any plans of working on Austurias or Mercia?

what custom battle? :)

please make custom battle.....

photoshop, 3ds max :)

Very nice mod Avetis.

A question though:what kind of tool you use to make these awesome new armours and textures?

great mod ! It considers opinions of fans regarding historical acuracy ,it would be great if you make tutorial !

Round and oval shields, finally. Thank you Avetis, great reskin!

Looks superb, well done !!

Я знаю что ты в составе их команды но ты отдельный рескин делаеш,ихний конечно тоже оч хороший но их боевка мне не приелась))ну и славян они бы точно слабых сделали по силе,да еще голожопых да и с бревнами.Сужу по DEI-там практически все фракции по силе равны,а Скифы и Роксоланы очень слабые.

Спасибо, Олег.
Что касается "Дрездена и компании", то я в той компании :) Только не в DEI, а в FotE для Аттилы :)

Блин Аветис,без преувеличения,ты #1 по ретекстурингу,до этого нравились Дрезден и компания но после увиденных мной Даков,Славян и Византийцев я понял что лучше нету,успехов тебе!Я надеюсь к Риму 2 ты еще вернешся.
