Byzantine Army

Requires Death or Dishonor & Waking the Tiger.

This mod is meant to serve as an addition to any other mod featuring Byzantium - so long as it uses the BYZ tag, which I think most Byzantine mods out there, if not all, do.

This began as a personal project as I created my own Byzantine mod to serve as a follow up to my CKII-EUIV grand campaigns. I never really bothered releasing it because there were several other mods that fundamentally did the same thing - adding Byzantium to the game - with more depth and details, and better thought out backstories.

I did however create a bunch of graphical assets that I feel are worth sharing, including a pretty extensive Byzantine army roster, featuring unique infantry, marine, paratrooper & mountaineer textures (all based on the Italian infantry model) as well as a tank retexture (based on the Italian heavy tank model to serve as the Byzantine medium, heavy & modern armor).

Acclimatization is supported as well.

This mod won't change the appearance of vanilla HOI4's Byzantium, because it is essentially just Greece with a different name & flag (ie, it uses the GRE tag, not the BYZ one this mod is about). Unlike EUIV, HOI4 doesn't make you switch tags when you form a new nation.

I circumvented the issue by giving Greece this army roster, and released that as a separate mod that you may find at :

Bear in mind this is a completely ahistorical skin pack that has next to nothing to do with what the Greek military actually looked like around WWII.

Anyone is free to use this content as they please if they so wish. Just don't forget to give credit where credit is due.

Be sure to let me know if anything is or looks wrong and I'll look into it.
