What do you want the next Unit Pack to be?

[Mcwynne]

I actually prefer complete, four level packs for specific cultures over more event oriented packs like the 100, and 30 years war ones (fantastic models though). This might be due to me using the Unit packs extended mod to basicly replace the standard models.

To answer the question, I would first like some african models since they are by far the worst looking at the moment imo.
Some larger variety of models in the muslim group would also be nice, since almost a third of the world is using muslim models right now.

Gief eastern tech some love, please.

 

[Krajzen]

Italian wars! Balkans! Napoleon wars! Ha!

I want just few skins that would make an entire goddamn continent of Subsaharan Africa consist of something less ridiculous than 'naked spearman' and 'barefoot musketeer in rags'.


Also, Oriental ships and advisor portraits.

 

[grandad1982]

Sub Saharan Africa needs some love.

 

[Fluffy_Fishy]

I agree with almost everyone, I want some flamboyant Italian sprites!

 

[HabemusZlatan]

Honestly? African and Asian units need a lot of love, much more than european units, expecially africans, which sail to the new world with nothing but cotton shirts, pants and a musket in their european design caravels.

Although some more personalization on big and relevant coutries would be equally accepted, I find it weird to have fancy units for Novgorod and Genoa but nothig of the sort for Muscovy and Venice.

 

[KillingMeSoftly]

In no particular order;
1. African unit pack.
2. East Asian unit pack for ships.
3. Italian unit pack.
4. Hungary/Balkans/Eastern Europe unit pack.

Bonus: East Asian advisor pack.

If they would've included a Hakkapeliitta/reiter unit model for sweden in the evangelical union pack, I would've been so happy...

I'd say that the vanilla European sprites are actually not too good, and I've wanted proper 15th-16th century Western Cavalry since the game launched (pretty sure I actually started a thread about it back then...), but thank you for reminding me of Africa.

Africa really needs some better sprites, and it might even fit the DLC, because it's just "Common Sense" that the current "rags n' loincloths" look isn't historically accurate. I'd actually say that since there are often two sprite packs for every EU4 DLC, African sprites fit the general "fix generic flaws in the game" aspect of the DLC, while better 1st tier Western Cavalry fit the "Give Europe some love as well" aspects of the DLC.

Italian wars seems like the most likely.

North, west and East Africa dose need their own models admittedly.

but please add more unit sprites in the nation designer!
It dose seen weird not to have Japanese/other regions/dlc skins.
I want my European samurais!
I won't lie, I'll buy more skins if I could use them in nation designer.
Hurr durr, use mods, I know but still.......

 

[zeredek]

Africa REALLY needs new units, I agree

 

[Susanna]

Would really like a new Advisor pack.

 

[neondt]

+1 for East Asian ships and adviser portraits.

 

[Haldan]

Eastern Europe needs unit packs, and the Berber States, Arabia, Anatolia.
Also, shouldn't Byzantium use the Muslim ship models? Would be quite fitting for them, but it's not easy to mod as ship models are unique to tech groups.

If they would've included a Hakkapeliitta/reiter unit model for sweden in the evangelical union pack, I would've been so happy...

Personally, I modded the files to give Sweden one of the German states sprite (some guy with a helmet, might've been Mainz) and Colonial French's 1:st cavalry model, which looks very much like a Hakkapeliita unit. I moved Sweden's model to their 3:d instead, as it looks more alike a Carolean than Gustavian soldier. The uniform just screams 18th century.

 

[LinusLinothorax]

Either southeast Asia or Africa. America and especially Europe already have tons of own unit dlcs.

 

[Dakilla TM]

Can we focus on ROTW for a moment? Sub Saharan units desperately needs a new paint. Songhai, Mali, and Air could use Muslim inspired units, while the pagan Africans can use a better version of what we currently have. And plz no raggy trouser musketeer okay? Same for East Africa. Ethiopia and Somali nations should have unique units to distinct them from other Africans.

East Asia needs more too, like Korea, Dai Viet, and Malaya.

I would love to see an African Pack, or an Asian pack

 

[LinusLinothorax]

And plz no raggy trouser musketeer okay? Same for East Africa. Ethiopia and Somali nations should have unique units to distinct them from other Africans.

Distinction between east and west can be easily made. East Africa, meaning Nubia, Ethiopia, Aussa and maybe also the Somali sultanates can make use of shamma and shamma-like clothing, something like this:

In the west, the Hausa infantry can wear clothing like these guys here wear:

Giving the later Sahel inf only muskets is not very historical btw., as they never played no big role in warfare due to the dominance of the cavalry (Afaik muskets were limited to the royal guard).

Cavalry in West Africa changed in that timeframe from light skirmishing cavalry to the heavy armoured knights that fought the colonial Europeans in the 19. century, used of course not only by Hausa but all the Muslim states.

Clothing in pagan Africa consisted ofcourse not only of the stereotypical loincloth, but they made also use of fullscale clothing. Colour and shape varryified a lot, so that would require some research.

Because theres new mechanic for theocacies its more likely its going to be teocracy unit pack ( teuton, livonia, the knights, archbishoprics maybe?)
Second thought they might give Russia some unit packs -i hope they do- (they look so ugly it hurts my eyes..) They did give some units to novgorod but they always get annexed in 20 years so w/e..
Third thought, hordes duh..
Fourth, German States are lack of first tier unique units so all of those new systems in HRE maybe germans get some love
Fifth, İtalians especially Venice, I still dont know how Venice didnt get units in WoN ...
Sixth, Scandinavians they lack first tier, but i dont think they will get anything in this patch

 

[Fluffy_Fishy]

Do many people play the african nations? I never have.
