Byzantine Army

Description
This mod will no longer receive updates as it is now a part of Cultural Armies Pack mod


What it does

This mod replaces vanilla men-at-arms for Byzantine Empire with new ones made by me
All new men-at-arms are based on Byzantine army during Komnenian era

List of new men-at-arms:
  • Peltast - Light Infantry
  • Toxotai - Archers
  • Skoutatos - Heavy Infantry + Pikemens but not as effective
  • Koursores - Light Cavalry with more Armor
  • Doryphoroi - Horse Archers with less Damage but with more Armor

Note: You and all Greeks will no longer be able to hire vanilla men-at-arms anymore
Note2: You or AI do not need to research this as there is a decision to instantly unlock all the cool stuff
Note3: Only Greek culture lose access to Vanilla/Regular men-at-arms, other cultures do not lose them

Why

I just wanted to play as Byzantine Empire with Byzantine Army but there was no such mod in the workshop
Now there is one

Compatibility

Compatible with almost everything, the mod touches only this vanilla files:
window_menatarms_type_view - to replace vanilla men-at-arms with new one
00_cultural_maa_types - to add new illustration for Cataphracts men-at-arms
texticons - Nobody ever used this file on my memory but if you are a perfectionist then this is the most important one

**Some new regiments icons were created by me but still many credits goes to Salicy and his HoC mod

My other armies:
Note: Compatibility is build in
Nomads Army
Kievan Rus Army
East Europe Tribes Armies

JULIANOS, Ohhh you are totally right! I forgot about this...

Psiloi were light infantary just like the Peltast. Contrary to them, they had no shields.
Bowmen are "Toxotai", as far as I know.

Is this save game compatible?

Blackfire, Yes if research done before you convert into Roman Culture but it doesnt meter since there is a day one decision to do it instantly

cuomo860, Will do after I release Rus, West and South Slavic Pack

Sticky Baka, Yes and its because Skoutatos (HI) is combined with pikeman to represent a combine formation tactic of Byzantine infantry

This is awesome! Is there any reason why there are no pikeman like Menavliatons? Either way this is awesome and thank you!
