Hi!
I really enjoy your mod — great work!
Would it be possible to make it compatible or integrated with Regional Immersion and Cultural Enrichment (RICE) and Culture Expanded?
It would make the gameplay experience even better.
Thanks for considering it!

@Halfdan , good,innovations may be a way better idea , as well it will at least a bit weak those adventures recruiting all kind of maa

Somehow I sometimes still seeing some AI keeps recruiting generic MaA although they have the unique one, so I need to tweak the mechanisms. I think I will be utilizing "instantly-discovered" innovations to avoid this and to give more clarity of which MaA could be recruited by which culture

A special MAA for Jerusalem would be amazing

Спасибо!!!

Can you enlist what are the new maas? Please

lowkey add more goated mod

I appreciate that you took the time to add more units to the game that help diversify it. I would be interested in seeing more units added over time.

@tabel'noe actually i have done the illustrations, but i am planning to push them together in the next MaAs update. thanks anyway

link to google drive deleted itself so i will link github, files with resent upload

@Halfdan So I played around with Gemini and Photoshop a bit and was quite pleased with the result. I do not want to strip away fun of talking to this freak and ask for sallet for 20 times in different forms and promts just to resive fucking armet for the 20th time but i hope it will save you time. Did it to learn ai's, needed it for work, so these was a fun study of mine.
I will link you final results + interim results may be you can improve it. they would be in PSD and PNG formats forgive me i dont know what to do with dds and its recursion and why it is necessary:

@R0B0T no, if you hybridize, you could obtain both, and if you diverge, you retain yours

@tabel'noe yes, i do agree with you, i am planning to redo some illustrations. thanks for the insights

And the Fanti armor seems a little out of place to me. I understand that you wanted to make a soft aketon or brigandine, but maybe you could tweak it a little to make it look more realistic? But I'm nitpicking, really, it could be fine as it is.
As for the Ritter, I think you're knowledgeable enough to know this yourself, but I'd like to provide some photos for inspiration, maybe that will help.
You used two iconic helmets barbute and armet, so why not to go for a sallet or hounskull ? ;3

If it is not an option i would suggest use similar stuff that french sergeant do, they genuinely looks awsome. Thank you for your mod!

@Halfdan I've looked through almost all of the new units, and damn, they're impressive, especially the sergeants — they don't look like AI at all. I have a small suggestion. The Ritters from the central German part look almost like Roman legionnaires on horseback in yellow uniforms, especially the guy on the right with his, I would say, typical Roman shoulder pads and cap, very reminiscent of these two

so if i create a hybrid culture or diverge culture i lose the men at arms?

@Skype Cat sure

Hey again Halfdan. I wanted to ask you a few more questions about your use of Gemini, I sent you a friend request hoping to DM with you if it's okay. you can unfriend me afterwards. I just want a bit more information. I tried it myself but my results are very far from what you are getting.
Thanks

@germi_1107 this mod doesnt overlap with any MaA mods, it will just simply add more MaAs without overlapping anything, so it will run perfectly alongside any mods that add or change MaAs

sorry to bother, maybe i should check it out myself but, does this overlap with Cultural Armies and/or RICE maa. I mean, does this complement each other well or is there something similar in the other mods?

Always happy to have more MAA mods. I really like when they're used to add some flavor to each culture. Good work and can't wait for more.

@Skype Cat Im using Gemini btw, if you guys want to know

@Halfdan. love to see more MAA. good work. What AI are you using to create these? they come out surprisingly well, very fitting with the vanilla style.

GREAT WORK THX!!!

ay all good down worry its a dead culture, ill prolly be the only one noticing

my bad, I overlooked that one, I'll make one soon

is the middle eastern MaA gonna include some hebrew units? if so youre my goat hahaha eitherway great mod man ! keep it up

@Shizuko sure, you can add me and then PM me

@Halfdan hi. I can make a russifier for the mod, do you want to include localization immediately in the mod?

@LLKV each of them have already had one tho

Loving the mod currently, adds some real depth to the game. I know you are currently working on the middle eastern MaAs but I believe it would be nice if you could expand the balkan MaAs. For example the Albanian and south slavic cultures, due to the fact that the greek MaAs far outshine the rest.

@Halfdan YESSS Sir that's awesome

@On11chan3k I am developing Middle Eastern MaAs right now and it might be one of them

Can u create unique maa assassin for Persia or at least faith has fedayeen tenet ? :v

@mloom if generative AI art was theft, it'd have been made illegal. It's about as much theft as someone learning from and imitating another person's art. The reason many artists reset AI art generation is that they believe a mechanism should be in place for them to give consent for an AI to learn from them.

And iirc, that lawsuit concerning it got thrown out, with the caveat that AI art can't be copyrighted. And in this case, they're also not being used for profit. Ultimately, if you put your art out there for all to see, people are free to learn from it and imitate it as they see fit, just as if it were another person copying you by hand. Some people might see AI doing it as unethical, and that is certainly their prerogative, but it is clearly not illegal, even if you dislike it.

great mod

@Alpha the reason is that generative AI is theft

1. this is a NON-PROFIT, I don't see the reasons for not using AI art.
2. Simply avoid the mod if u're not a fan of AI stuff.

I kinda agree with @Random (I believe), it would make a lot more sense for these techs to be in the regional section, as that is where the base game puts its culture-specific techs, the two other spots are for techs that everyone can get.

@Halfdan who gives a rats ass about AI art this mod is great. Keep up the good work my man!

@happy9s he takes it from internet and I dont know if he has the permission to use it or not. and also why do you resent AI art? it doesnt harm anybody, and remember, this is a non-profit stuff

Not the big fan of AI art as well, why couldnt you just use arts from the cultural armies pack(the old or new one)? Are they copyrighted? +I assume that even simple arts from the free access are percived better than AI ones. Whatever, thamk you for the your great job

@ShlepkaBs no, i dont speak russian either

@Random I am avoiding innovation as it needs time to be researched, i dont want that

@FizzTom go commission me an artist then

AI slop, stop destroying the environment

А есть русская локализация?

shouldn't the tech be a cultural one instead of general?

Another cultural unit mod? Hell yes.

ROMA INVICTA

@Faker kk yes, i am changing some unit arts. it will be included in the next update

Could you change the comitatenses maa art to a late roman one?
