    Exclamation Wrong card for Mada Nizhak Asabara

    I hope this hasn't been pointed out before, but while slogging my way through the Parthian campaign, I picked up a few of these mercenaries because I needed support for my archers... and they were the only ones I could afford :D

    Looking at the unit card and description, I became nominally excited, in the way that surely any normal RTW player does when they discover a cool-looking unit. Ah, Eastern armies...

    Needless to say, the horror that overcame me when I saw that, in battle, they looked nothing like the description card and instead looked like my Pontic Generals, which I already considered eyesores (even if having those brightly-colored tunics is actually accurate)... no offense to whoever skinned them... ooof...the horror was quite horrific...


    On the unit card, we can see some lovely Median asskickers. On the battle map, INFERNAL PRETTY PONTICS!

    So, is it the right card, but the skin and model are oopses? Right soldier, but wrong card? If the latter, then what is the card for, so I can recruit them with giddy glee?



    P.S. On an added note: would cavalry, especially fast-moving Eastern sorts, really have worn Phyrgian helms? It was my impression (perhaps false) that those were worn by infantry, with cavalry preferring types like the Boetian. Common sense seems to support this - would you really want to gallop around with a big, top-heavy infantry helmet, especially since it would probably wobble all over and possibly snap your neck, and especially since most Eastern cavalry were disinclined to fight at close quarters?

    It's a mixup with the skin, not with the unit card. It has already been corrected for 0.8.

    Does that mean I could go and correct it myself by going through the descr_model_battle.txt file, or were the correct files simply not included in .74?
