From read-me file:

Short descriptions for the 73 units. This is a guide to build unit icons for mods.
You are free to adapt the icons to any unit. The information here is just for orientation
porposes, however I tried to respect historical aspects, with documentation. The graphics were based in the units of a computer card game "Hoplites":

Just change the names, BIFs and respective LBMs, to the default names of the game, in acordance
to your crusaders_unit_prod11.txt file.

Hi all,

oh cool a link would be nice also is it for just MTW or VI.

[flip]

Hi Stormer,

this is for modders, both MTW/VI, they are generic units that you can adapt to any mod, ancient/classic period.

[Stormer]

Link?

Check my post again, please.

Just a little bump on this. For all modders.

Great job on these. One thing though, I think there is some miss numbering with numbers 11, 12, and 13.
What program do you use to edit the lbm files? Any chance you'll be doing a chariot any time soon? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Hi flip,

The mix up in the 11, 12, 13 is in the LMB files ... a Spartan Hoplite apears instead of the slinger. Other wise exelent

[flip]

Ok, fix it, thank guys. You'll have to download again the LBM.zip file. Not Spartan, its a Praetorian or Centurion. The double black slingers (12,13) is correct.

We'll have chariots, just like this ones.

Edit lbm's is hard because of the pallete colors. I use Photoshop and Ultimate Paint 2.82, also BifReader.

No updates, just a bump.

[Yelping Godzilla]

Whole lot of useful stuff there. I hope current mods in the right era make good use of them.

It's nice to see in the MTW community that modders work together and share a lot of their creations.

Impressive overall.

EEUURAAH.
