Balkan Overhaul

Description
This mod makes a variety of major and minor changes to the Dacians, Thracians, and Illyrians.

Dacians get draco standards, more authentic hats, and more variety in helmets, hair, beards etc.

Thracians get boots, beards, straight and curved swords for the peltasts (which reflects their 35 weapon damage), Phrygian-Chalcidian type helmets etc.

Gallo-Thracians get improved scale armour and more helmet variety.

Illyrians get Shmarjet disc helmets, hair, beards, boots, bronze torques (which is historically accurate), and more variety in tunics, shields, capes and axes.

The mod is save game compatible, and also compatible with Ancient Colors by Epaminondas,
and Classic faction colours by Yews.

@GG01 Hi. The orbis terranum mods probably change some of the same aspects of the game, so that causes problems like the ones you described. You can try to move this mod to the bottom of the mod manager in the game launcher, and if that doesn't fix the problem it's best to disable one of the mods so that the conflict between them ends.

hello, your mods seem to have a problem whit the orbis terranum mods, the units have black faces, no spears or shields and they look ugly. This also happens whit the rest of your overhauls. (sorry for the crapy english, im peruvian)

I've got some ideas for new units for the Dacians. If you're interested let me know!

Funnily enough the Dacians actually used silver in helmets, but it was probably very uncommon. I've updated the mod now so that the lancers and armoured spears still have their spangenhelms, while the cheaper units have had the shiny helmets removed.

Thanks for answering! Please don't get me wrong, the Spangenhelm looks great on the Armoured Spears, but on the Heavy Bowmen and Heavy Spears the silvery Skullcap sticks out a lot, compared to the Leather armour they are wearing.
In my opinion the Helmet should be reserved for higher tier units, but of course it is your Mod.

Hi Nummer90. I included two kinds of spangenhelm for the Dacians since they used that type of helmet historically. If you prefer, I can remove the shiny one. I don't mind changing it.

Thanky you so much for adding then iconic Draco Standard and the hats to the Dacians! they look awesome. Only Question, why did you add those overly shiny Helmets to the mid tier-Spears? They stick out alot.

This will make a fine addition to my collection.

it would be great then an iberian mod for hispanic factions xP (as a spaniard they need it), also a mod that reskin the hellenik and greek units would be great :D

@Rai300[ESP] I'm glad you like them. When I get ideas or see things that need to change, I begin working on a mod. I'm going to put out a small mod for Attila that fixes some ugly things on the Nordic and Saxon units. After that I will look at improving the Iberian units in Rome 2.

@Jake Armitage Hey, and thanks for the invite. I'll take a look.
