DEI Sparta Reskin

I used to have a private mod like this which I lost, and now remade it but my previous had a corinthian helmet overload, this one is a bit different.

This mod does a reskin of some spartan infantry units while keeping itself mostly loyal to the original DEI vision. Considering that some units never existed and are more of a what if scenario with reforms, I felt there is leeway here to get picky about things like the helmets and so on.

The changes mainly revolve around helmets and shields, I added 1 extra shield for the Hipeis for example, and added Corinthian helmets on the Hipeis and last phase Spartan Hoplites and the Swordsman version. Also removing some helmets that either didn't look too good out of place, and made it look like there was more of a transition from the first spartan hoplites to the last phase of spartan hoplites in terms of heavier and more protective helmets(culminating in more use of the revised Corinthian helmet, the one with the ear openings for better hearing).

Changes also include changes to tunics worn by the hoplites(got rid of anything italic) and removing some helmet variants that did not make sense for greeks to be using in my personal opinion. You can get an idea of how it all looks and what I removed or added from the pictures. Also removed the robes on hoplites(not capes, robes) cause they never went to battle wearing those since it would get in the way, capes should be fine though I think.

Another thing that I bet many will be happy about is that I got rid of the shields in periokoi and elite periokoi units that were all grey, that's a bug and got rid of the buggy shields.

Another thing is that the vanilla pylos helmet is no longer being replaced by the new DEI version but now you have all variants, the vanilla and the new ones made by DEI team(not sure if it was intended, but variant-mesh-defnitions done by DEI team themselves were not showing up in game when it came to the vanilla pylos helmet(the cone shaped one) cause its model was by default looking like one of the new ones they created, someone replaced the vanilla pylos helmet model with the other model, so I just included the vanilla model in the mod to overwrite the one in DEI, plus what's worse is that it doesn't have any top_crest anchor points, only side ones for plumes, which meant any crests you tried adding would disappear.

(KINDA LATE BUT in case you're new to modding, if the mod doesn't seem to work, try putting it at the top of the load order cause that's what I had to do to make it work)
