i want to have this mod hosted here, because i think it is promising, and it will show people a part of history they may not know about. so far, the work i have done is create the byzantine tech tree, here it is:
Units
Cataphracti (heavy cavalry)
Equites Sagitarii (Horse archers)
Varangian Guard (elite armoured infantry)
Genoan Crossbowmen (ranged)
Venecian Knight (strong cavalry)
Auxillia (main infantry)
Mourtartoi (archer)
Menavlatoi (pikeman)


Ships
Dromon (battleship)
Galley (attack ship and transport)

Buildings
Infantry Barracks
Archery Range
Stables
Blacksmith
Tower
Dock
(other to be added)

Heroes

Anyone can make a tech tree . Show us some actual modding work, and we'll consider.

Best of luck!

basically, i just have pictures, but i'll get the images, and develop them into some concept pictures

One of the things I have learned in my relatively short modding time is to never announce a mod and expect help or replies, but just do so to tell people about what you are doing. Also, never even bother to announce unless you actually have done something.

By modding stuff first yourself and then show them off, but I see you did so already. Good.

[Mornenion]

completed Cataphracti

[Mathijs]

It needs alot of work.. try using images from google or another source, if you need good boots, copy em from the ruelrond2_skn.

[Kwen]

its really rather... bland, it needs shadows, and definitions on armur outlines

[Artifice]

I googled chainmail really fast and came up with this.. you might want to check out some stuff on here. Good pictures Link

updated Cataphracti:

[Bebbe]

It's better but i think You'll need to fix it ,, I don't know how though

[{EoW}Tmistro]

Much better but i dont know if its me but i hate the face but i like the other bits

[Bebbe]

I think the face is good but I doesn't like the chainmail

[Mathijs]

Add more highlights and shadows.

[Artifice]

And try to edit the mapping so that the the chainmail doesn't look like it is in sections if you know what I mean.

[Mornenion]

this is an RTS mod, not a Half-Life 2 mod, it will barely be noticable in game, anyways with the shadows from the screenshot, it will be lighter in game, so the face will look a lot better, and the highlights will appear better

We're only here to give u advices

[Mathijs]

Yeah its an RTS, and your skin is not good enough YET. Try using our advice instead being insulted..
