Hi im new to this forum, infact I just joined a few minutes ago, but I have been viewing the progress of this mod for quite some time and I must say im very impressed.
I do however have just a few quesitons concerning the fantastic Rycalawre unit.
1) I have indeed seen the real life helmet that inspired that design in this mod, however was it defiantly used in combat? and if so would it be used by such an elite unit of men?
I have read about the celts being somewhat intimidating due to their natural height , and also that they would add to this natural height by wearing horned helmets like the ones the Rycalawre are wearing, however I'd assume that they would wear this more to shock the enemy rather than go right into combat with them, the helmets dont seem very practical.
anyway getting to my point, the Rycalawre unit seem to be the supreme fighting experts of this factions unit list, so i ask you , would they really go into combat wearing such highly decorative helmets?
2)the Rycalawre is a very attractive unit, the chain mail and the swords and helmets etc all look very good, and I cant wait to play this mod becuase of units like this but theres one problem.........the shirt/tunic.
would it be possible to change the texture of the shirt to something a bit less...bright and clashing? Dont get me wrong, im not trying to insult the skin artists of this mod, I wouldnt be here if i wasnt 100% impressed with the project, I just think that the shirt doesnt look very good on this unit. I understand historical accuracy is more important than simply looking good, but from what ive read the various celtic peoples were somewhat....well, fancy when it came to their clothes and I doubt that a group of elites that belonged to a culture that was extremely fond of being well dressed would wear such a brightly colored shirt that clashed with their trousers and just about everything else it came into contact with.
so is there a chance you could change the shirt?
