Hey this is perfect but that two handed unit is out of place, that's a 13th century sword, you should use a huskarl instead.
I disagree. This is the model of the hero unit Ataulf. He appears in the Goth Alaric campaign which is set 394 - 413 A.D. If even the developers of AoE II:DE used this model for an ancient gothic/germanic unit, then surely so can this mod. As a matter of fact, it is the single most typically 'germani-looking' unit model you will find in AoE II:DE. So the choice of model is to be applauded, not criticized. The genuine player will not know the historical background of certain sword types anyways, nor will he care - its about bringing the right atmosphere to the table, and this unit instantly evokes germani associations! Also, just look how well it fits in with the overall aesthetics of the faction (in the screenshot above).
