The Additional Unit Pack

[Andalus]

I bring greeting from the heavens, my brethren.
I also brought my little friend...

That's right, the Additional Unit Pack Version 1.1 is now available for download.

This mod for RTW 1.5 adds 23 new units to the game, using mostly original textures and models. It aims to fill gaps in unit rosters, giving factions access to units they did not have before. It uses mod:switch so it will not affect your original game files.
The excellent unit cards were made by Private Clark.

1.1 is only being released as a patch which fixes bugs, adds a few new skins, and tweaks a few units. If you have not downloaded version 1.0, you must do this first.

Note that this is version 1.1. Another version with plenty more new units may be up soon.

I am open to any feedback, on faults, balancing, suggestions, even spelling mistakes. Just do not come blabbering to me about historical accuracy. As a historian myself, I am aware of how apocryphal most of these units are. AUP presents a 'what if' situation.

What if the Parthians had developed an elite core of heavy infantry?
What if the Britons had utilised cavalry to a greater extent?
What if the Greeks had used horse archers as a counter to those they faced?

But enough of my rambling, you can download this at Filefront with the following link:

Or take a look at these screenshots:

Soem of the finest archers in the known world: Poeni Archers.


Poeni Legionaries (Old skin) taking on Roman Elephants.


Macedonian Hypaspists, waiting...


...for the clash.


The Thracian Swordsmen move on to the Numidian Spearmen and Royal Guards.


Gothic Spearmen in the thick of it with Noble Spears (Old skin).


We are Borg Cataphract Spearmen!


Backed up by the doughty Persian Archers.


Here come the Romans! Equites Patricii chase down Heavy Spearmen, with Auxiliary Cavalry in the background.



Oh, is that all? Well get on and download it then, lazy, and see them for yourself!

Keep up the good work, Andalus.  

[Private Clark]

I love the new units, Hypaspists FTW.

[Andalus]

Though I say so myself, the new skin for Poeni Legionaries is wonderful...

 


There was a slight problem with the 1.1 upload, so I have now put up 1.1b, which should work fine.

[Private Clark]

ohsome! *downloads* Are save games from your first version of AUP comatible with this one? I sorta have a nice brutii campaign i want to keep.

[Jubal]

A fine piece of work... welcome to Exilian!

[CN2]

Are save games from your first version of AUP comatible with this one

Yes they are,R:TW saves work too,just copy 'n paste them.

The catty spearsmen are AWSOME!

[Andalus]

A little white lie, there, CN2. RTW saves are not quite compatible, because of changes I made to general's units. I may include an option to use the original generals in the next version.

But saves from AUP 1.0 are fine.

[CN2]

But it works fine for me  :blink:

[Private Clark]

im going to have to update then  

[Andalus]

But it works fine for me  :blink:                                                   

It may do later. You may come into trouble with some Roman Generals. I'm not sure.



EDIT: The above is me talking rubbish. Ignore it.

Sorry for restarting such as old thread, but I've been looking for this map pack on other sites and can't be able to find it or other ones like it. The link doesn't work anymore, and if anyone has the files or a link to another download it I would really appreciate it.

(I did just make this account to ask this question)

I think I saw that the OP is still active, so maybe he may notice this little post and possibly post a link

Again, sorry for reviving such an old thread, I just would love to try this and I can't really find any other unit packs out there.

Wait, do you want a map pack, or this unit pack?

In any case, here's Andalus' Additional Unit Pack, v1.1. Enjoy!

And feel free to stay... there's nothing that impedes you from not staying here

Is the AUP in any way compatible with the Steam version of Rome? My attempts with it and the shortcut haven't gone so well and im dying to play with these units
