I believe this mod is currently making ever unit available from the start.

Aren't Cho-Ko-Nu described as a crossbow unit?

best moood, please update mister

This mostly works in 1.16, but PDX did change the name of some of the units for no apparent reason (e.g., houseguard is now house_guard) which affects what gets replaced. I think @mopintime is correct that it also allows the player access to all MAA units as a nomad, whereas basegame limits the player to horse archers, heavy horse archers and other cultural MAA from the steppe.

Hey. I really like this mod but with the last version of the game, it gives access to all siege maa even if your culture doesn't have the tech.

Does this actually need an update? @Ketaros all your mods are the bomb, muchas gracias!

Is not on the top of my priorities, but eventually I will

Will you update this mod?

waiting for this to updated

I was so hoping this was updated 'cause these look AWESOME! I see there's no retinue versions in the list above, so I assume they use the unit graphics they're advanced versions of. Man, I wanna use this so bad right now.

Tx man

How goes the progress man?

I wonder, would it be possible or too difficult to combine all your mods into one mod?

Great mod, excited for the update! Just so you're aware, when you get to updating it, the current version is making cultural units not appear. So like, I couldn't see Longbowmen until I disabled this mod.

Guys, yeah.. its on the queue here... sry.. I got a lot mods to update. :)

Guys, it's probably gonna take awhile for Ketaros to add all the new MAA. For now, it still works with the what MAA that were there before the DLCs.

:( where is my patcho

update pls

Yes, newest version hides the values of the units. Which is a shame as the art itself is great, didn't realize how much I missed it until I couldn't use it!

Can you please do an update?

The current problem is that you can no longer see the attack and defense values ​​of the respective units.

Ayyar is a heavy intantry but it's riding a horse LOL

Beautiful illustrations, but unfortunately, all the culture units have broken icons. Is there any way to fix it?

The art quality is top notch, but there's alot of small silly details, such as the chu-ko-nus who are depicted using bows when they should be wielding repeating crossbows. Also, teutonic Knights with red cross on their tabards...?

Does the Roman culture not get the Praetorians?

[UPDATED]

Could you please update the mod to the new patch, 1.12.1? Many thanks in advance!

hi, just noticed that since you rename "icon =" part of each men at arms they all start using the default icon, you should include the Icon folder and copy-rename the icons to fit the troops.

correct me if wrong but Ayyar shows as heavy infantry but the picture has them on horses? which one is the mistake?

Agree with kiko, the mubarizun look really cheap and weak. They are in fact an elite heavy armor unit, the rest looks fantastic though

Chu-Ko-Nu are actually repeater crossbows, not bows...

I kinda agree with kikocrespillo2. perhaps a full face turban with chain mail they just look to 'naked' to be considered elite troops. A small grip regardless the rest is fantastic. Now I have to find out which mod is overtaking your house guard portrait even if it is at the bottom of my LO.

can you make the mubarizun, less like a peasents and more like Champion/ elite armoured soldier?

could you make a mod for the lord of the rings

why chu ko nu is useing bow kekw

@Jimbo Slice Medieval Levy could use plate armour obviously not near the quality of a knight or a trained soldier, there was truly no restriction about what a levy could wear, it was definitly not common but for the richer peasant they could afford some part of armor either being plate or much more often mail and sturdy leather
Obvously i'm not saying it was common just that it could be possible espiecially for those who intended not to die of an archer volley

You're awesome

Sorry! In retrospect, my comment really does look very... nitpicky about your mod, and possibly dismissive or diminutive toward other cultures, neither of which were really my intent. I do think visually this is really cool, and I definitely understand the desire to make things unique enough to stand out (which I think is a massive weakness of the vanilla MAA system, and why I initially looked at this mod in the first place haha)... just wanted mostly to weigh in a vote in favor of trying to push more realism instead of a "Hollywood"-type look on armor and medieval soldiers

awesome! however it's too fantasy compared to The Prof's Unit Art

Good !

@jimbo I agree with everything you said, yeah, things in middle ages were WAAAAY more dirty and simple them this whole game portraits, not only here, our whole culture, movies, etc. So, sometimes we need this "poetic license" to make things a little nicer. But on a limit, I do like to be close as possible, so I will keep trying to improve here the units, since we need to be more close to culture, but as always let's make a little nicer sometimes. ;)

Any chance of a addon for Culture Expanded (since CE adds cultural units)?

So, obviously this is just my personal opinion and not intended to take away anything from this mod / the personal aesthetic choices of the mod-maker... but this art pack features a LOT of plate armor in places that don't really make sense. Levies are just dirt farmers that have been called up for immediate service and handed a spear/wooden shield, none of them should be able to afford plate armor... Light foot, skirmishers, archers, and outriders would have all valued mobility and flexibility on the battlefield more than direct combat longevity and would similarly have used leather/quilted cotton/maybe chainmail depending on the time period, but none of them historically would have been wearing plate armor... I can't speak to all the cultural units, but some of them, like Longbowmen, Mountaineers, and Khandayat (who were an Indian peasant militia that was essentially just a cultural version of basic levies haha) should also be wearing much lighter equipment than they're shown with

looks epic bro, really well done. one thing though, why do one of the best heavy infantry unit in the game (mubarizun) look like cheap light infantry? Please change that

很显然……你的诸葛弩（ZHUGE NU）和宫廷卫队（palace guards 御林军）的武器与着装并不正确，诸葛弩甚至没有拿弩而是弓箭，御林军参考长安十二时辰的龙虎卫更好。

@Ketaros

Thanks a bunch for your kindness. Already sent the invite!

Konni is the Hussar, sry, the game calls it differently in-game.
I think same thing happens with the Druzhina, just not sure what would be the one. I can check later.

I really, really like the artwork, great work! However, could I kindly ask if there might be a possibility of adding artwork for: "Druzhina" ( Russian Cultural Unit) and "Konni" (Balkan Cultural Unit) in the near future?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi @Cardolam, sure, please add and msg me. ;)

@Ketaros

Great pics!

Care to explain what program are you using to generate these pics and provide a sample of the commands used to achieve these results?
Asking because I have a published mod and would love to have pictures of this quality included.

Thanks in advance!

Yep! Crossbow is a real challenge for AI right now. I will replace the Cho-Ku_Chu" with some graphics that doest show clear what weapon is.
