There is no way for maybe varying units as they are in vanilla game? I mean there is a lot of different models of shields and helmets, maybe You could do it? As aside from retinues there's no really a way to see them. Thanks

@European Maniac Good idea. Expect an update soon.
European Maniac 10 Mar, 2019 @ 8:51am 
Could You update this mod so the Outremer culture have French units?
Ritter Ayla 27 Jan, 2019 @ 4:12pm 
Alrighty then, I'll take a look.

@Malivamar Hi! I advise you to use my Improved Early Units mod.
Ritter Ayla 27 Jan, 2019 @ 12:01pm 
Hey, I just got this mod and I love it however this seems to be affecting not just the mid games units but also early units, so even tho the saxons and scandinavians look good in 1066 they're pretty out of place in the early bookmarks (before 1066)

What is the reason my italian troops are invisible

@ifgeni115 Hi! As far as I know, you can't create custom models. I'm only recycling and reordering existent models (bodies, weapons, helmets and shields).

Hello, author.
1) Is it possible to make a custom models for units (without DLC)?
2) Is it difficult to create models (if it is possible)?
3) Which program modder needs to make a custom model?
Thanks for reply.

To get the "Monks and Mystics" English and German units for England and HRE is pretty easy, I can delete the data in the .zip folder. But how can I change the French and Occitan data to get the "Monks and Mystics" English units for France ? (The rest of the unit types is already perfect) :steamhappy:
KAZ 19 Nov, 2018 @ 2:27pm 
Thank you! But does "Early Improved Units" change early models from Holy Fury DLC (like berber)?
VityViktor  [author] 19 Nov, 2018 @ 2:23pm 
@ifgeni115 Hi! I think that's because Serbians/Bulgarians lack a proper early unit pack. I advise you to use my mod "Early Improved Units", as I think it fixes this issue.

Hello, author. Your mod is great, but when I use it in early game, I have a bug with bulgarian and serbian units. Bulgarian mid. game models replaces slavic early models. And serbian models have a bug with helmets.
VityViktor  [author] 19 Nov, 2018 @ 2:04pm 
@Mc Soc Meanwhile, the new sub-mod for the late era is out. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1568699872
Richard Mc Soc 19 Nov, 2018 @ 4:47am 
Thank you for your quick and nice answer. I would be very happy about a an alternate version (more) similar to the old one. That would be awesome. I also like the Idea about the unalterd late game units very much.
VityViktor  [author] 19 Nov, 2018 @ 4:34am 
@Mc Soc Right now I'm working on a sub-mod which would give relatively unaltered models (with greathelms) to French, Germans and English during the late game era (post 1200). Until then, or in case you don't like it anyway, I'll probably upload an alternate version more similar to the old one.
Richard Mc Soc 19 Nov, 2018 @ 2:38am 
Is there a possibility to install a pre patch version? I think the current changes are terrible. Sorry, I appreciate your mods a lot, but I dont want to play like that. I dont want to be rude and I'm sorry if that sounds mean. To be honest, most changes are absolutely great. But I dont like the new models of English, (the missing Anglo-Saxon) , French and German at all. So is there a way to download the old version, or Alernativ a way to undo these changes myself? :diplomacy:
Paprika 13 Nov, 2018 @ 1:29pm 
I will see how it works :steamhappy:
VityViktor  [author] 13 Nov, 2018 @ 12:30pm 
@ToxicBBQ I don't know, try it and tell me. :D
Paprika 13 Nov, 2018 @ 10:47am 
Am guessing this wil work with Holy Fury?
VityViktor  [author] 14 Jun, 2018 @ 7:05am 
@Caio Soares Should be compatible with any version.
Caio Soares 13 Jun, 2018 @ 12:32pm 
Work with the new patch 2.8.3?
Šumnik 12 Apr, 2018 @ 3:35pm 
This mod is 10/10. Thank you so much dude.
untequiller 4 Dec, 2017 @ 11:18am 
Thank you! Great job!:steamhappy:
VityViktor  [author] 4 Dec, 2017 @ 11:09am 
Updated! Now some of the units will use helmets according to their culture.
VityViktor  [author] 3 Dec, 2017 @ 7:46am 
@untequiller Sadly, i think most of these models' helmets are fused with their bodies, unlike for example the default midgame or early units. By removing every unit with a greathelm or a kettle helmet, i think the variety would suffer a lot... However, i'm experimenting with some of these units (the heavy infantry ones) and some of the helmets from the early dates.
untequiller 3 Dec, 2017 @ 6:43am 
VityViktor, could replace pot-helms and its variatins with nasal helmets for western units (heavy infantry and heavy vcavalry) in midgame era (950-1200). Norman unit perfectly pack fits on his matter!
VityViktor  [author] 26 Aug, 2017 @ 3:07pm 
@Sir Ugu of Uugg Yeah I think all of my unit mods are compatible.
VityViktor  [author] 26 Aug, 2017 @ 3:06pm 
@Sir Ugu of Uugg Yeah :)
Sir Ugu of Uugg 26 Aug, 2017 @ 11:47am 
does this mod also work with your late era units mod?
Chimaera 26 Aug, 2017 @ 10:08am 
excellent, thank you. I likely wouldn't have noticed the change after all.
VityViktor  [author] 26 Aug, 2017 @ 5:46am 
@Kang Do you remember CK2 default European vanilla units when the game came out? They did look nice back in 2012, but right now, and specially after all the unit packs released, they look outdated. These unit models were still in use during the midgame (from year 950 to 1200), so i took the ones which came with Monks and Mystics DLC (English and German) and set them to be the "default" European units, with minor variations in shields and weapons, as you can see in the pictures.

@Sir Ugu of Uugg Yes, this mod would overwrite it and turn the viking-looking Norse units into these late-looking units. If you want your Norse units to stay as they are, you can delete the "norsegfx.gfx" file within the interface folder in the mod. I think that would work.

@European Maniac I will include a manual download link in a few hours.
European Maniac 26 Aug, 2017 @ 5:31am 
Can someone pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee give me a non-steam version? Why all of the nice mods are not on ModDB, but here :(
Sir Ugu of Uugg 26 Aug, 2017 @ 2:39am 
if im using the Norse Unit DLC, will this overwrite it when the year clothing and stuff come, because I want to be able to use the norse units then when everyone else gets the new models these guys appear, as annoyingly the Norse (and saxon) units persist from charlamange all the way to the 100 years war and look out of place late game
Chimaera 25 Aug, 2017 @ 4:56pm 
what does this really change? i guess i never paid attention to the models, but these do look pretty great.
European Maniac 4 Aug, 2017 @ 9:43am 
@VityViktor could You please send me this mod in non-steam version? :)
VityViktor  [author] 31 Jul, 2017 @ 5:37pm 
@TheSpiffGuy Well, that's how it worked until the last expansion (Monks & Mystics), when they decided to include portraits and unit packs into the expansion itself.
SleepyHead 31 Jul, 2017 @ 4:35pm 
@VityViktor oh I thought only content packs gave new models,well damn it now I gotta spend money.
VityViktor  [author] 31 Jul, 2017 @ 3:11am 
@TheSpiffGuy These unit models are from M&M.
SleepyHead 30 Jul, 2017 @ 8:53pm 
Really like how it looks but why is monks and mystics required
Linktwo 26 Jul, 2017 @ 3:22pm 
Thanks for doing this!
European Maniac 3 Jul, 2017 @ 3:55pm 
Can You give a link for a non-steam version please? :) Finally found a mod that changes those awful units, but I don't have CK2 on Steam :(
Chad 25 Jun, 2017 @ 8:17pm 
we arent ruining, we are excelerating it.
VityViktor  [author] 25 Jun, 2017 @ 6:51pm 
Come on, guys, you're kinda ruining the joke. :/
Chad 25 Jun, 2017 @ 4:15pm 
Why do the french have armor? Shouldn't they have sticks, and stones while surrendering at one spec of invasion?
naul 25 Jun, 2017 @ 12:00am 
Germans can bash the french as much as they want,slavs unfortunatelly can't. Reminder that the french were defeated by the winter in 1812,not by the garbage russian armies.
