Byzantine Musketeers

[Musashi]

Ladies and gentlemen, they have arrived.



Thanks to Casuir who provided the purple texture for them :D

[Quillan]

Exxxxxcellent! Muahahahaha!
Looking forward to playing with that mod when it's finished.

[Shahed]

Wow! Neat.

[Kraxis]

Good!

Now I suppose the Byzantines will be that much more fun in the late period.

[Musashi]

Yup. Now I just need to give them a decent assortment of cannon, which should actually be easier...

Although I really wanted to give them a heavy musketeer unit in the style of the Jannissary Musketeer... It seems fitting for Byzantium to have armored it's musketeers... But unfortunately I believe it would require the creation of new meshes since the weapons and shields are actually integrated into the mesh files :/

I put a new musketeer unit into the game using the Byzantine Spearmen models, thinking that the greek armor would look good for their basic musketeer, and I could use the Latinkon armor for the heavy version, but unfortunately the spearmen (Despite being given the musketeer animation and weapon attachment point definitions) showed up holding their spears and shields.

It was kind of funny to see them shooting from their spears though, as you can see:

keep the spears
