[Graphic Mod] Varietas Delectat v9.2 [civ specific unit sets]

Yes, there is, and I was/am seriously thinking about it. Will see, but currently I have more on my hands than I can handle -> I want to update all of my mods!
So if some of you are interested in doing a Berber civ you are free to go!

Well, I have plenty of time recently (unfortunately)
What help do you need?
 
I so have understood there will be an updating of all dandies, and leaders too will be updated? Are planned creation of new additional civilisations? Very much it would be desirable :))

@all: I could probably use some playtesters.
There're specific tasks I'd like you to perform.
Anyone interested (with enough dedication) drop me a pm.
 
Have the crashes with the saved games of VD8 been fixed yet? I haven't played since December, because I only play with VD and have been unable to do so.
 
Guys/girls,

I'm really exited about how VD9.0 is shaping up! Really nice, quality units are getting in, the new CC seems stable and I myself made some changes to new/existing units ranging from a shield change in the Japanese war elephant to bigger texture changes (French knight, German warelephant, Japanese Samurai knight, etc, mostly using other people's work and fine tuning those). Also I'm checking poly counts, and remove unnecessary meshes, textures, etc, whenever possible.
I'm going through ALL civilizations' unit rosters and check what should be changed, what is available elsewhere, how things could be improved. A LOT of changes are done.

Hope to be able to bring you this cool new version in days!

War elephants are one of the unit types I feel I can stretch the limits a bit, let room for a bit more imagination (unit from a fantasy mod, some reskin by me):

I have a question (suggestion?) about VD9.0 you are working on. Currently with 8.0 I think it is the Germans that have an alternative Stealth Bomber, that looks real cool, but does not bomb, but uses machine gun fire. I love the look of the plane but hate the animation. Can it be changed so that it actually drops bomb as it is supposed to, or if not change back to the original so that it can actually drops bombs again? I would appreciate that, thank you.

Can you please post this to the graphical requests thread? I hope someone can animate it to drop bombs, and then I'd be happy to include it.
 
I have a question. While merging I have noticed that VD 9.0 uses an older version of CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml than 8.0. Is this on purpose?

Those should be the same. Can you please compare and confirm?
