This project is the continuation of our work in Warband crusade MOD "In the Name of Jerusalem". We will continue to extend and improve the old settings. The new campaign map will expand to the Upper Danube, the Nile Delta, the Dinaric Alps, and Transcaucasia. The Bulgarian Empire and Grand Principality of Serbia will be added. Kingdom of Georgia, the Saltukids and the Artuqids (probably Eldiguzids) may comes later. The timeline still starts from 1187, but we will try to add more interesting historical events until 1204 - including the Fourth Crusade.

looks great !!!
lovely!
Now we're talking! Great job.
The beautiful look is fighting power.
While a good model with a good helmet, the torso and arms are questionable while the main problem being that Kataphraktoi probably didn't exist past 1040 at all. More likely most cavalry would be 'kavallarioi', which is more of a medium horsemen able to pursue routing infantry whereas the Kataphraktoi was purely a scalpel tactic unit meant to cause routs. Their use was seemingly brief however, and by the 12th century Roman cavalry should consist of native 'medium' cavalry or Latinkon for any heavy cavalry.
