Can you...retexture some units?

First of all I don't want to sound arrogant or ''that guy who doesn't appreciate anything''.I spent at least 70 hours in Realism Invictus it's a great mod and I really appreciate all the the awesome things you did but I have just a tiny request.There are some units that are very...un-historical?Especially for more minor civilizations like Aztec,Turkish or Celtic.For example when I'm playing as Ahuitzotl(Aztec) and everthing is fine till I start getting hispanic units which makes no sense or when I'm playing as Suleiman(Turkish) and my ''modern'' infantry doesn't look like an infantry with it's MP5.It's just these little things ruins the historic or alternate historic feeling for me.It would be great if you fixed these!Thank you for reading.

Yes, I understand where you stand even though I don't 100% agree with you.

In some cases, the quality of some units is not very adequate, since it was a third-party unit taken from CFC. I constantly work on improving those, and the upcoming release will, as usual, see a lot of sub-par units replaced with accurate and nicer stuff. Turkish infantry is a very good example of that - and not only modern. WW2-era infantry wearing red fez was annoying me a lot, and I already created a different and more historically correct unit to replace it.

Yet in other cases I feel you might just want a different design approach than the one we took. In case of Aztecs, for instance, nothing is going to change much, since switching to Spanish-style units is very intentional - by RI design philosophy, a civilization is usually (mind you, there are exceptions, but they are really quite rare) represented by a continuity of peoples who lived in a certain geographical/cultural area, even if transition between them happened violently. This is, for example, why Egypt eventually gets Arab/Mamluk units, and not ahistorical Egyptian-styled "what if" units. There are very few "what if" units in RI, and they are used only when there are absolutely no alternatives - like early mounted units for American continent civs.

Anyway, I appreciate your input and I am willing to discuss all the stuff that annoys you on case-by-case basis and in some cases actually improve/change it. So feel free to proceed with a list of particular units you wish to discuss/see changed.
