[MOD] Better Looking Characters (more realistic and historical)

[Shaytana]

Getting the Persians to look right is a bit harder than I thought... I've been experimenting a lot...

Khwarezm style:

Nope, it's a steppe heavy cavalry type helmet.

Hi,

I'm so happy to see the new version have been released. Thank you so much for the hard work!!

If it's not a bother, can u give Crackdtoothgrin's mail + turban for muslim martial headgear variation? I think it will be a good addition to muslim martial gears!

For the Khwarezm, i do like them in Crackdtoothgrin's style (with white mail).

 

[Shaytana]

I was going to do that but there's horrific conflicts with the dna... His mail is built for Cumans who don't use Muslim beards/hairstyles and it would take a long time to fix everything properly. I sadly don't want to implement a fix via background stuck to helm layer to hide dna conflicts so I'm not going to use his mail for muslims for now.

EDIT: There's a lot of conflicts anyway, but less so with the other stuff.

So, so far I've:
-implemented a Croatian gfx culture - slightly modified from wslavic
-implemented a Persian gfx culture
-implemented a Catalan gfx culture (mixture of Occitan and Iberian)
-given the Berber gfx culture its own differentiated clothes/headgear sets

It's all very simple WIP stuff but it works and it's better than without it...

Berber turning to the Dark Side.

I am going ahead and releasing 6b as is...making sure I release the right files atm, then will post it.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

Don't forget the new little file!

Oohh yeahhh.

Editing it as we speak.

 

[Shaytana]

VERSION 6B IS UP!

-added Catalan culture - quick WIP implementation, using some Occitan and Iberian combination of stuff
-added Croatian culture - pretty much just for the compatibility with cultural cities mod - only minor changes from westernslavic
-added Persian culture
-added Berber clothes/headgear
-some other changes

 

[Shaytana]

Ok, now that's done I'm looking around the map and it seems to me I will start to change the Alans and Andalusian clothes/headgear next for 6C.

 

[Shaytana]

I think I'm going with a bit of a blue color scheme for Andalusians... to make them different than the regular greens of other Muslims, and because I see a lot of blues in modern ilustrations of medieval Andalusian soldiery... anyone prefer another color, and tell me why if you do?

Is it me or do that helmet look a little renaissance

Tenth to Fourteenth Century Turkic. Found in extant grave sites and other archaeological digs amongst the Kipchaks, Kimeks, Seljuks, Pechenegs, Khazars, Alans, Bolgars, Magyars, and a bajillion other tribes, clans, and peoples. The face mask is also common on all the above (although stylistically different depending on culture).

If the fluting reminds you of the Renaissance, you're likely thinking of Gothic fluting on plate mail.

Oi!!! Crackd! I was wondering when you'd release your mod...was going to make a "CrackdToothGrin" update implementing some of your stuff or edited stuff but decided against it, waiting on your release first.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

The download link won't work for me. I've tried it with two browsers and it keeps saying the link needs repairing.

Weird. I downloaded it several minutes ago without problems.

I'll get to it a bit later today. In case I haven't mentioned it, I have a very, very, very busy job.
