Legatum Aquilarum | Strategikon - Grand Campaign Units

Emperor Maurice's Strategikon was the foundation of Roman military doctrine for the Byzantine era. Principle to this manuscript is the formation of the Imperial Tagma - Constantinople's professional core army - including the fearsome Cataphractoi. Legatum Aquilarum (L:"a legacy of eagles") is a small mod project focused on the Imperial Tagmata Regiments up through the late 10th century.

The mod introduces 14 new or updated units to the Eastern Roman Empire. The units are not fully historical (though each is based on at least several pieces of "historical" art) but seek to capture the unified "feel" of the faction. Ultimately I would love to extend this mod to include changed time and redone grand campaign map, but for now this is just the units.

Also special thanks to Snori for use of his textures and shield patterns! Please check out his Byzantine Reskin mod: (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile.../?id=575988341)
