%%% Installation:
0. Disclaimer: the mod might not be 100% compatible with other mods that substitute files contained in the "gm" folder relative to the game interface as they would replace each others files.
1. Download the archive file.
2. Unzip it in a folder.
3. MAKE A BACKUP OF THE "Stronghold Crusader Extreme" folder of the game (if you can't find it open steam, go into the library, click on the game, manage, see local files. It usually is in the "common" folder of steam). Making backups when installing mods is always advisable in case there will be some errors in the future. Moreover, you will need it as a replacement should you need to switch back to the vanilla version of the game.
4. Let's replace the vanilla files with the reskinned ones (EITHER REPLACE THE CRUSADER SWORDSMAN OR THE ARAB SWORDSMAN, NOT BOTH OF THEM OR YOU WILL OBTAIN TWO IDENTICAL UNITS)
- To reskin the european swordsman: open the "crusader swordsman reskin" folder. Put the "gm" folder into the "Stronghold Crusader Extreme" game folder (substitute the 4 files).
- To reskin the arabian swordsman: open the "arab swordsman reskin" folder. Put the "gm" and the "fx" folders into the "Stronghold Crusader Extreme" game folder (substitute the 23 files).
5. to reset the vanilla files you will need to replace the actual game folder with the original "Stronghold Crusader Extreme" backup folder you made in the beginning.
Enjoy!
