The Papal States
Hello everyone. It's been awhile but I'm back with another Italian faction preview: The Papal States. Also this preview introduces the new naming regiment and revamped visual look coming to all the other Italian factions. Expect more Italian previews later on.
The Papal States roster features a robust selection of units hailing from multiple regions in Italy including Bologna, Ancona, Lazio. As a result many of their units have a huge amount of visual variety. This is supplemented by foreign troops of various types and elite household troops. Many units have a pesudo-Roman flair with vexiliums and the SPQR designs on many urban troops.

The Papal States will also have access to various mercenary units including Lanze Spezzate(Broken Lances aka the Condottieri unit in the current builds), Swiss pikemen and halberds and several Targonieri condotta units. I hope you enjoyed this little showcase.
We'll be able to play as the holy seer ? What a wonderful new
Those Pavise Crossbows are triggering me and reminding me of how powerful they are in Medieval 2
Wait... No halbardiers? I wasn't expecting swiss guard per se, but halberds would be nice, if it's possible.
Technically, they'll have the swiss merc halberds and pikes alongside the roster.
NICE!!
AWESOME! Just downloaded and ready to play!

Has the mod not been updated yet? I can't see Papal States yet.
This might become my new favorite faction. They're beautiful!
I don't know if it was already pointed out or it was made intentionally, but I wish to warn you about a couple of mistakes I see:
- When you indicate dismounted units, the term is "a piedi" or "appiedati" (on foot).
- Cernite is plural. I'm not familiar with this term, but it would be correct in italian as "Cernita di X" (where X is arcieri, balestrieri, picchieri etc.)
- Is "Schiopettari", from Schioppo not shiopettari.
I hope it helps! Keep up with thi amazing mod!!
