Thanks for the reply, I'll check that.

Apologies for the slow reply. There probably is a way to overwrite the dlc units, but I wouldn't know what it is. From what I understand the way the unit gfx is written now is completely different to when I made this mod, so although it still works, the structure of this mod is very much out of date. If I remember correctly the better looking garbs mod on the forums changed the models around somewhat and is more up to date with the new system, so if you;re really keen, I'd recommend finding that one and trying to edit it.

Hi, is there an way to overwrite the new M&M Contentpack Units with yours? I do like the new faces but the units are a bit lame. I mean Fullhelmets and Tunics around 950 a.D.

why europe and arab units are still use default units? and hungarian units use turkish units
Captain Starlight  [author] Jan 7, 2017 @ 5:17pm 
You would have to edit the mod and put the default arab units back in place of the persian ones.

Is there any way to play this without the Persian unit pack?
Tethryss Aug 26, 2016 @ 7:19pm 
Awesome! Thanks for the consideration :D and PLEASE for Croatia too! Their units look WAY TOO similar to Poland's which is a completely different thing. But if you cannot do it, I will understand and appreciate the hell out of any effort you put in. :)
Captain Starlight  [author] Aug 26, 2016 @ 5:34pm 
@Notaspook Way back when I first made this I tried to have the hungarians use the turkish models for their early troop models, but I couldn't quite figure it out. I'm not sure, but I think horselords added new models that all nomads use, not just the altaic cultures. I'm not especially keen on making another DLC required for this mod, but I'll take a look at what models the hungarians use. If they still use the generic eastern early units I'll have another crack at giving them turkish units, but no promises.
Tethryss Aug 25, 2016 @ 6:57am 
Hey, I am back with a request to this mod:

Could you give the Croatian and Hungarian Cultures the Turkish Units? The Turkish units are BARELY EVER seen anywhere and I think that those two would look really good with the Turkish Units for their unit-types. The Turkish Units also would work for the Khanate Cultures too.
Captain Starlight  [author] Aug 24, 2016 @ 12:55am 
@Notaspook I don't want to overwrite factions that already have proper dlc. However, if you're willing, you should be able to modify them yourself with not too much trouble if you follow guide in the discussion section.
Tethryss Aug 23, 2016 @ 11:00pm 
Hey great mod! I was wanting to know though if you were thinking of maybe adding in better units for the Celts?
Captain Starlight  [author] Aug 8, 2016 @ 3:25pm 
@Silas: Somehow I've only seen your comment just now. Sorry about that. I've had a look at the new Italian units files when this mod and another were clashing and I have no idea what PDX has done to the file structure. In all honesty, your best bet would be to go to the forums because it's beyond me.
Silas Dec 13, 2015 @ 8:00am 
I've posted this in the sub-thread above, but I'll ask here for greater visibility: I want to replace the Russian units used for eastern groups with Italian ones. But in the DLC file, there is no Avatars.gfx file, only Italianfx.gfx. On top of this, the format and references seem to differ widely between the avatars.gfx file in the mod and the Italianfx.gfx file in the DLC. Any help?

This mod is basically necessary if you don't want to feel like you wasted 5 dollars for your unit packs
Champkareem Aug 4, 2015 @ 12:44pm 
Ok i figured it out, The mod doesnt work with cultural cities remix.
Champkareem Aug 4, 2015 @ 12:29pm 
Yes, it was in the folder. Im sure im making some noob mistake.
Captain Starlight  [author] Aug 3, 2015 @ 11:36pm 
Is the mod definitely in your mod folder? I've been using the exact same copy I originally made and it's worked with every update and every combination of mods.
Champkareem Aug 3, 2015 @ 1:35pm 
Im starting at 867 then playing past 1066. I havent tried any late start dates.:steamsad:
Captain Starlight  [author] Aug 3, 2015 @ 2:18am 
Are you playing after 1066?
Champkareem Aug 1, 2015 @ 6:02am 
Is this mod working with Horse Lords? Im not seeing any changes whe i subscribe.
Captain Starlight  [author] Jul 22, 2015 @ 1:35am 
From what few pictures I can find, it seems they had sort of a combination of the eastern polish/russian style armour and the western style. I might do some fiddling with the mod to see if I can make something similar without needing other dlc's.
Snorri (vtz) Jul 22, 2015 @ 1:32am 
Note that in X century Hungarians were still steppe nomads equiped with horses and bows. They became more western-european later on.
Captain Starlight  [author] Jul 21, 2015 @ 11:21pm 
What sort of armour did medieval hungarians wear? Was it more similar to western european armour?
NutHim Jul 21, 2015 @ 7:45am 
yes it looks good just that we never had soldiers in armor like that(not trying to criticize your work)
Snorri (vtz) Jul 21, 2015 @ 3:41am 
Eastern units are good for Hungary apart from late game, but I don't think many players play late game, as it's quite boring and underdone. XI-XIII is the game core IMO.
Captain Starlight  [author] Jul 21, 2015 @ 2:16am 
I think we can both agree that it looks better than the default one though.
NutHim Jul 21, 2015 @ 12:55am 
Hungary with that eastern unit looks so strange
Archangel May 19, 2015 @ 5:49pm 
Some people have all dlc's.
Snorri (vtz) May 8, 2015 @ 10:43am 
Well, no-one uses Military Orders unit pack, even those who gave westerngfx. I have no idea why it happens. However, it seems that someone found a solution, so sorry for interrupting :)
Captain Starlight  [author] May 7, 2015 @ 8:14pm 
Also, as far as I know, there aren't any unit model editing guides. I just looked at the code of the Recycled Unit Packs mod to figure out what I needed to change.
Captain Starlight  [author] May 7, 2015 @ 8:11pm 
My guess is that it adds new graphics groups, whereas this mod is made for the vanilla ones, though I can't be certain without seeing the mod myself. Can you describe what exactly is happening when you use these mods together?
Snorri (vtz) May 7, 2015 @ 8:08am 
Yes, I wasn't specific enough. It is not compatibile with sub-mod for CPR, called CPR Flavor Plus or so.
Captain Starlight  [author] May 7, 2015 @ 1:47am 
I use CPR myself as part of the historical immersion project and I've never had any issues with it. What problems are you having?
Snorri (vtz) May 6, 2015 @ 10:31am 
[h1]Hello![/h1]
I really love this mod. Vanilla units are poor and should be removed.
It is compatibile with CPR, however. I guess you wouldn't like to make it compatibile with a mod you don't use, but is there any guide on the Internet that you learnt editing units from? I would really love to see one, in order to fix units for CPR :)
Captain Starlight  [author] Mar 13, 2015 @ 4:06pm 
Slight ammendment made to step 9 of the unit editing guide.
Yale Mar 13, 2015 @ 8:29am 
Thank you, Starlight.
Captain Starlight  [author] Mar 7, 2015 @ 5:25pm 
Uit editing guide is up.
Captain Starlight  [author] Mar 3, 2015 @ 9:25pm 
I would recommend that you get the persian units just because they're so much nicer than the standard arab units. However, it's not very difficult to change which factions use which units, as long as you're just doing a straight swap. So rather than everyone ask me to make different versions to suit them, I'll put up some basic instructions for how to change it yourself.
Yale Mar 2, 2015 @ 3:11pm 
Do you think you could upload an alternative version of this mod that only changes the Western and Eastern models? I don't have the Persian unit pack, and I don't plan on purchasing it anytime soon, so it would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Great work!
Pseudonym Feb 23, 2015 @ 3:37pm 
This is AMAZING, exactly what I've been looking for. Very tired of the poor quality of the older units, so this was a breath of fresh air to the unit graphics, especially since the Military Orders are so rarely seen compared to Western European units.
lifeiveneverlived Feb 19, 2015 @ 4:57pm 
i hope they don't appear as crunched up blobs crashing my game,
i have high hopes for this mod.
Sabertooth Jan 28, 2015 @ 4:55am 
ok thankyou anyway just was wondering.
Captain Starlight  [author] Jan 27, 2015 @ 9:30pm 
Oh I see. It would be possible to swap councillor models the same way this mod does with military models, but I don't know the first thing about making new ones from scratch, or even if it's possible.
Sabertooth Jan 27, 2015 @ 6:52pm 
yes i have seen that mod .but i was meaning diffent looking sprits on the map .like the models
you made .that get place on the map .not the info card
Captain Starlight  [author] Jan 27, 2015 @ 4:23pm 
You might want to look for a mod called "better looking garbs" for that sort of thing. It adds a whole bunch of new clothing to every culture. It used to be on the workshop but it might have been removed to the Paradox forums.
Sabertooth Jan 27, 2015 @ 1:47pm 
question i have been playing england and spain. france.and I was wondering if you can
make a mod for better looking council members .I was watching the tudors and noiced the bishop wore red or purple .the chan.was dressed all in black with a black hat and gold chain around his neck .and so on..I injoy your mod .and thankyou for that .I'm sorry that i don't know how much work it takes to do this but after i seen this mod i new you were the person to talk to
thankyou again for makeing the game alittle better
Captain Starlight  [author] Jan 26, 2015 @ 4:13am 
If they're part of the eastern unit pack then yes. However, as far as I know, there aren't any cultures that use eastern units and can get horse archers outside of mercenaries, which use their own models.
