Yep. Well, not that anyone cares ofc, but although the models themselves are very fine, I've always been a tad puzzled about their choice to make them look so oriental-esque, y'know, the zouave-like 3rd one, and the latest one with a turban. If Byzantium actually managed to make it that far in history, I reckon it'd model its forces after western armies, if anything.
That always got me. Their first unit models look really good, what one would expect out of the Empire in it's waning days. The second unit models are good too, looking almost like a Greek-Italian fusion with a bit of Eastern elements thrown in, but I would still expect to see some mail or metal on them at this point. The third and fourth ones look extremely Turkish, though, and look almost like irregulars in the Ottoman Army, which is kind of disheartening. Still, they all look nice which is a plus.
I remember there being a bit of a fuss over them. 'Them' being the latter two models. I might remember because I was one of fussers.

Sometimes I miss the days of five models. But who knows how more Turkish they would have gotten if there were five models in EU4?
Technically they don't turn more and more Turkish, they turn more and more Eastern. So by the fifth model they would look like Indians... Flying carpet and all.
Thx for unit pack to the most irrelevant part of the world, I mean no thanks

Well, it makes some sense, if you ask me. The first models are used at a point where Byzantium is a shadow of its former self, a glorified city-state holding on to some territories in the south. The Turkish-looking models could probably represent the re-integration of former Ottoman territory (Anatolia etc.) having a distinct effect on Byzantium's culture and military traditions.
After all, Byzantium would have to rule over a large population of Turkish Muslims - that has to have at least some effect.
These are really great. I especially appreciate the 3rd and 4th tier units... imaginative, creative, but also believable! Well done!
These are awesome. But... please add more unit graphical options for the ND. Or are you going to leave this one to the mods?
At the 1444 start there are two nations using the Mapuche units. The Mapuches (of course) in the Huillimapu province at the southern tip of the Andes as well as the Charrua in Rio De La Plata province, modern day Buenos Aires.
I believe that was mentioned in in the ND dev video, not entirely sure what the reply to that was or what plans there are. Personally (since we work hard on those units!) I'd certainly like being able to pick what unit to use in my custom nation. Hopefully it'll be implemented but I myself cant give any guarantees.
You should be able to, as long as the nation manages to remain independent, not absorbed and have its culture stripped away, they should stay. Even surviving vassalage should let them stay I believe, so at least semi-independent.
Really loving the 2 later units, would love to see these "western style" kinda units for others areas of the world too
Got to say that as high quality as these models are, I actually prefer the vanilla design for the level 2+ Aztec and Meso.
10/10, hope the muslim nations will get some love too, as I'm tired that all arab/muslim nations has the same unit models.
Dang, those late-game units look absolutely amazing. Totally gonna buy ED content pack now.
There is already and since game release a dlc for them, called Horsemens of the Crescent.
