Units

[Rodion Romanovich]

This is a temporary thread for the discussion of units. When we make more progress on the tech tree lists we'll probably need to make one units thread per faction.

NOTE! This thread is not about discussing WHICH units should be included. That is discussed in the tech trees thread. This thread is for discussing looks, armament etc. of the units that we've already decided to include. A thread for discussing work in progress as well as finished units.

Some notes:
- The warcry ability will not be used for any units. We'll use a different method for modelling a warcry before running into battle
- Skins should be made to look realistic first, and colors needed to recognize faction should be added on shields or elsewhere where they don't affect the look of the warrior itself too much, when possible.
- Peasant and militia should usually stick to dirty or simple clothing with little other colors than offwhite, grey and brown etc. Richer troops such as royal, non-feudal troops, byzantine tagmata, jarl's hirds etc. will, when historically accurate have more colorful clothing. In those cases the faction color can be used also on the clothing.
- For units without shields we'll have to find a clever way of including the faction color without changing the skin too much. Perhaps by only adding a slight trace of the faction color to the skin.
- Faction colors are still being discussed in the faction symbols thread. I guess no skins here can be totally completed until that discussion has been completed so we know what colors to add to the skin.
