'Legacy of Alexander' - HELLENISTIC SKINPACK <ROME 2>

Hello! I present to you my newest work - KLA's 'Legacy of Alexander' Hellenistic Skinpack. It is a comprehensive reskin of Hellenistic units. I have worked a long time. I did most of all units more historic and far more diverse than the basic game. You will find here lots of new helmets and armor. It's a good mod for supporters of diversity.
I have worked on the basis of historical sources. This mod changes the appearance of many elite units of few factions such as the Seleucids, Macedon, Ptolemaic Egypt, Pont and other Hellenistic.
Mod is not the final version - I will go to-date complete, improve and increase the number of units.

King Louise Assurbanipal the images no longer work. I suggest changing the image host to something more permanent. Imageshack.us seems to be eternal.

[KLAssurbanipal]

Hi Myth, actually I use personal account in Tiny Pic. Those images were deleted because I uploaded them without register. Pontic Royal Guard are actually in Hellenistic skinpack.

I have a request. Could you merge these threads?
