New Unit Skins/Models? (Various)

Greetings,

I been getting back into RTW now that my girlfriend had bought me the oh so groovy Gold Edition (with BI inlcuded).

After reading the detailed thread here on Phalanx warfare i decided to play around with the Greeks.

Anyway, i remember, quite a while ago that CA released an alternate model for the Spartan Hoplites (Pelopenesian era [sp]) that looked. . well, awesome, but it seems it's not longer available from the main site. The vanilla Spartan look just doesn't do it for me.

Do you know where i can get it?

But why stop there!

Basically i'm looking for any and all cool alternative models/skins for various units in the game. I wish to replace existing skins essentially, not add new units or abilities just to change the look of the game, breathe some new life into it.

Come to think of it, one of my pet peeves is the Greek/Macedonian/Seleucid light cav - those silly hats. . maybe it's because i'm australian, but i really can't stand them. Grecian helms would be wonderful ;)

So yea, historical realism is not a huge issue for me, i'm just looking for some killer looking warriors. I assume there would be a large pool of these available somewhere. . .

Point me in the right direction if you could.

Cheers!

[EDIT] I found the Alt Spartans at Fileshack - BUT i'm still after more of the sort. :) Overwrite file replace style, noob friendly new models/skins aw yea, gimme gimme. Thanks.

Heres something I used to do. I would download mods and install them into empty folders, then go through and pick out which units I wanted from each mod and put them into my own game. My own 'custom mod' of sorts. If you have never modded before then you could either look at one of the many great tutorials on adding units, or you could just install a complete mod. Some mods with high quality units to look into would be:
- RESGESTAE
- EB (Europa Barbarorum)
- Rome Total Realism
- Ferres Romans (standalone, not a mod)

Thanks!

That's exactly what i want to do. I already have some stand alone units ive installed, but i dont know the exact process required to get them to work.

I'll look around here tho, cheers.
