Good one Calcagus. Quite a lengthy job to undertake on your own?
Well, I've got the leader done (pinched from a previous mod), and integrated; got the UU integrated. It works. Need to do a UB, then write the texts for everything, play around with the stats. The leader is Malcolm II, Mael Coluim mac Cinaeda. Could change it to Mac Bethad or Causantin II or even Malcolm III... but the particular leader graphics being used means the leader has to be drawn from that pre-Norman era. I want to add a second and/or third leader ... one of whom will be David I. Would love to have Robert Bruce ... but there are no appropriate animated heads about. The only alternative would be a renaissance/early modern ruler such as James IV, James V or James VI. Or I could used Isabella (or her derivative Willelmina), change the background, and make her Mary ... but that'd be lame.
Mael Coluim II: Charismatic & Protective
David I: Financial & Spiritual
The Charlemagne graphics (with changed background) would have been perfect for David, but he's wearing a frigging imperial - rather than royal - crown, which makes it usable for a king of that era. The Polish mod's Casimir is good too, but he's got Poland's arms as buttons for his cloak - so again, not usable. I guess I could go static, but I don't like that so much.
Used a wonderful Norman soldier for the UU ... a Gallo(w)glass - soldiers from the Hebrides, Argyll, Galloway and Carrick who helped kick the English out of most of Ireland and helped kick them out of Scotland. The availability of new units in the community kinda narrows the options for a UU, but Gallowglass is not a bad one. Any ideas for bonuses anyone? It will be a maceman replacement ... so that's the base.
