What do you want the next Unit Pack to be?

[Grand Historian]

One of my favorite things about new expansions are that they're accompanied by new unit model packs, which add unique (and much better looking than base) models for various nations. What would you like the next one to be for?

Personally I would like an 'Italian Wars' Unit Pack to replace the generic tier one infantry and cavalry sprites for nations like Castille/Spain, Papal States, Venice (which, oddly enough, wasn't included in the trade nations pack), Naples, Florence/Tuscany, Milan, Austria and Switzerland. Maybe add in a unique tier one infantry model for the Ottomans if possible, too.

I also wouldn't mind a 'Napoleonic Wars' unit pack, or two, to add in unique tier four models for the combatants, similar to the Union Packs. One side could be the French and their 'allies': France, Spain, Bavaria, Denmark, Netherlands and Italy, with the other being the Coalition: Great Britian, Austria, Prussia, Russia, Sweden and Portugal.

Edit: It looks like almost everyone agrees with or wants an Italian Wars pack.

 

[Haccoude]

An "Italian Wars" or "Flower of Chivalry" sprite pack bringing new 1st tier Cavalry sprites for at least France, Austria and Milan, with the new sprites being Gendarmes/Reichsritters/Cavalieres/Elmettis/Condotierri/Men-at-Arms/Knights in appropriate full plate mounted on barded horses and armed with lances.

Despite the "pop-history" gritty imagining of medieval warfare as knights in armour prancing about, while the actual fighting was done by badly equipped conscripts, that's not really how it was, and while the Renaissance/Early Modernity did bring greater infantry armies with worse equipment as a replacement for the smaller but well-equipped infantry armies of the Late Middle Ages, the dominant Western Cavalry continued to be the heavily armoured Heavy Cavalry until the mid-16th century. Not to mention that they look cool.

Actually, Venice already received unique models in the base game.

Italian wars sounds good. I would also like something with the Southern Slavic nations. Maybe non-Byzantine Greeks too? For Naxos, Corfu, Cyprus and a independent Greece.

 

[johnleeyx]

Italian wars and/or independent colonial nations unit pack (after all expansion is based on a US publication)

No they don't. They received unique textures in the base game, but the models are the same as the base sprites for Western.

 

[Sanny]

Italian wars definitely. Although I feel the unit pack should come out with the Italian Wars expansion, if that ever happens.

 

[Angeleyed]

Please add a dlc to show cavalry instead of infantry sprite too.

With Athens, Knights, Trebizond and Epirus, too, but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing some more visual flavor for the Balkans. Heck, maybe it could be an opportunity to revise the Third and Fourth Purple Phoenix models if it ever comes to pass.

Well, Common Sense/1.12 has added in so much to Italy...

I'm not certain that warrants being its own DLC.

I would love Persian Units. Or Tunis(Tunis can't be destroyed).

 

[Galaahd]

Italian Wars / Condottieri units.

They should also be infantry models though, as you don't see often the cavalry model when playing with western countries.

 

[Christopholes]

Eastern tech needs more Infantry love. The only two with unique infantry are Byzy and Novgobear and everyone else gets generic Russianesque troopers. Subsaharan is frankly appalling atm being the only tech group with no unique sprite models at all, and Ottomans should get unique infantry sprites. Asian Elephant cavalry would also be neat.

 

[RockmanYoshi]

Units for Persianate countries,new African units for East (Nubia, Ethiopia, Somali, and Swahili/Zimbabwe) and West (Mali, Soninke, Songhai, Fulani).

I would like to see units for Byzantine culture countries and units for SE Asia.

 

[Grell74]

Italian or HRE units please. No more flipping Red Indian ones or South American, or some late game gunpowder units that arent seen by 90% of people for 90% of the game.

[EldarPanic]
