Thanks! I might change the norse chainmail textures in the next release.

You once did a belt and seax prop before right? I was thinking of setting the belt as a prop, just like what you did, so that it could come in more variations.

@stanislas69 what do you think?

[Alexandermb]

Replaced the weap_norse_2h_axe for "weap_dane_axe" with 4 shaft variant and 2 blades "bloody & clean":

Lovely

[wackyserious]

@Alexandermb Maybe a variant for the elite units, together with the Pioneer helmet

If you have time, could you also reconstruct the Coppergate helmet? Great job as always!

In my opinion it would be nice to reserve the Sutton Hoo helmet for one of the heroes?

Your helmet looks cool, but I think it's missing some detail.

Looks pretty epic on this guy:

[Lion.Kanzen]

Very similar to this, that is more early.

Vendel  Helmet

Thats what i had in mind to make first but too much detail to make them by hand in blender while my PC Lags when sculpting but neither will be fully noticed in 0 AD with 512 textures.

@stanislas69 Tested the latest pyromod that you uploaded

Played as Byzantines vs. Carolingians (Byzantine corral still encounters the mud prop issue)

Played as Norse vs. Anglo-Saxons (Anglo-Saxon unusual behavior, spawns stables)

I have to work on the distinction between basic Byzantine and Carolingian units. They share body textures at the moment, maybe something for A24.

[Stan`]

@Alexandermb Can you investigate .?

@wackyserious thanks for testing

I had the same problem, the Anglo-Saxons have an incredible spam of pens do not build them, and I happened to play as Byzantines had a wall and a door and units above the adjacent walls but when the enemies arrived they crossed my wall without problem and had to be closing and opening the wall automatically, I do not know if it stayed open at the time of uploading the units you see

yo tuve el mismo problema , contra los anglosajones tienen un spam increible de corrales no llegan a construirlos , y me paso que jugando como byzantinos tenia un muro y una puerta y unidades arriba de los muros adyacentes pero cuando los enemigos llegaban cruzaban sin problema mi muralla y tenia que estar cerrando y abrriendo el muro automaticamente  , no se si se quedo abierto al momento de subier las unidades tal ves

one Germanic (imitating Roman and Byzantine style) the other more Slavic and Persian  or middle eastern culture.

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redvaldo_de_Estanglia

Raedwald, hijo de Tytila, fue Rey de los Anglos del Este desde el 600 hasta el año de su muerte en el 624 fue bretwalda

No se puede probar que el monumento funerario en forma de barco de Sutton Hoo fuese en honor a Raedwald. Sin embargo, Raedwald es el candidato más probable, aunque otros hayan sido sugeridos.

Las pruebas realizadas demuestran que el personaje que está allí enterrado, vivió en la época de Raedwald. El equipamiento corporal de color dorado y granate, fue producido por un orfebre con una técnica igual o mejor a cualquiera usada en Europa, y fue diseñado para proyectar una imagen de poder imperial. Los objetos de plata hallados en la tumba son únicos para ese período en Europa y la inclusión de tazones y cucharas, que han sido interpretados como regalos bautismales, no entra en conflicto con la historia de la conversión de Raedwald.

El propio ritual funerario en forma de barco y las fuertes conexiones de la armadura con objetos similares de la era de Vendel, sugieren conexiones genealógicas del tipo que se describen en el poema Beowulf. Beda nos relata cómo, tras pasar treinta años desde el funeral, Sutton Hoo, y en especial Rendlesham, fue objeto del patrocinio por parte de familiares herederos de Raedwald.

La interpretación del reino y de la autoridad de Raedwald a través de los objetos y del funeral, requiere de una opinión personal que no debe ser dada en absoluto. Aun así, el ensamblaje refleja más allá de toda duda la espectacular riqueza, los contactos y la cultura del personaje de Anglia Oriental más poderoso de su época. En este periodo y en el contexto inglés no existe testimonio comparable.
