I can't wait for the cavalry to be upgraded! For me, it was one of the major downside of the game, and though I initially liked this civilization,I've never been able to really enjoy playing with the persians because of the cavalry which I didn't quite like...So I can't wait for the new models! BTW you did a fantastic work with the infantry, Enrique! It's like a new game! The spartans and romans have never looked so proud and fearsome!

What are the new names for some of the prop points? I'm having errors when I assign props using the actor editor.

Open some existing actros, breh.  Specifically, ones of the same type that you are trying to create. They should tell you the prop points you need. Else, you can open the unit mesh collada -- .dae -- files in a text editor and ctrl-F "prop-"

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Thanks!

shield_arm for hoplite shields, shield for most other shields.

The triangle count is not much higher (around 250 -350 additional triangles only), these meshes still pretty lowpoly for today's standards.

Low poly compared to other RTS units at this zoom level?
