Tsardoms: Total War is a M2TW and Kingdoms modification that focuses on the Balkans, Near East, Eastern and Central Europe, Italy and Switzerland, starting from rise of the Serbian Tsar Stefan Uroš IV Dušan in 1345 and concluding in 1530. Tsardoms allow you to take control of over 25 factions all complete with brand new artistically crafted warriors ready to do your command! The aim is to provide the player with the best possible accuracy, in all sectors of the game, and to stretch the limitations of the M2TW engine, through scripting and AI enhancement, for a gameplay never seen before.

ROMAN EMPIRE TEASER
The Roman Empire is at the center of the events in Tsardoms. At the start of the mod the Empire is in the middle of a civil war and as such it is split into two factions: the Regency and the Kantakuzeno. These two Roman factions will fight each other for the throne in Constantinopole. Once the civil war ends the Roman Empire can be restored and only one faction will remain.
The Roman army of this period is very mixed as it borrows elements both from the Eastern and Western cultures. Below you can see images of the Roman units created by Caudillo87. These units are part of the late Komnenean roster, however they share many similarities to the Palaiologian army. Caudillo87 has kindly allowed us the use of his units. Many of the units below will be updated in line with our timeframe.
Toxotae Archers.

Contarotai

Acritae

Varangopouli

Emperor's Guard

Archontopouli

Once again we thank Caudillo87 for his help. You can download his submod for Stainless Steel here Twcenter.net
Great stuff!
Looks awesome. I would consider changing the vanilla medieval II byzantine units to these.
I think that this mode here will be really good ^.^
Thanks for your support guys! Means a lot
