Classical and Medieval era overhaul

[xd22lax]

I want to begin work on a complete overhaul of the classical and medieval eras to expand the fast gameplay that I always feel to lose because of how few technologies are in them and also because of a huge lack of flavor that I feel they could use.

Right now I have very little knowledge of modding and am on a mac system so I was wondering if anyone would like to partake in this project.

What I was look to do was add several unique units/buildings to each civ as following:

England:
Longbow(stays)
Huscarl(components can be taken from 1066)
Shire court(same rules apply for 1066)
Bill-men(similar to pikemen)
France:
Franciscan Warrior
Any ideas?
Sweden:
Swiss Pikemen
Bersekers
Winged cavalry(appeared at end of middle ages)
Varangian guard
Russia:
Cossacks(also appeared at end of middle ages and during)
Boyar(similar to knights)
Spain:
Tercios(replacement to pikemen)
Conquistadors
The Ayyubids:
Malmukes
Turks:
Janissaries(long swordsmen replacer)

Of course these are not all the UU/UB I could put down but this is just to give you an idea of what would be possible.
I realize there is a huge similarities to ITR but I want to make a whole game possible out of it with dozens of UU as well as UB so it really feels like you are playing as a unique civilization and not just the same civ with a small change for one era.

Post below if you would like to help or PM me.

Hey, all people who would like to help to get this mod forward are welcome.
The one problem here is that the most people are very busy, with doing there on stuff. So when you will add units or other stuff you prohably need to do the most work by your own.

The best way when you are new to modding is, get the great tutorial from kael, he provides a lot of great tipps. Also there are many threads here on civfanatics who can help you.
Otherwise its very easy to add units and buildings to the game. So i can provide you some tipps, if you need help, but iam to busy, to help you, in doing your whole work.
