rar archive, which can be opened with 7-Zip. This cannot be modified, but a number of good converters exist. Note that all of the files in that particular folder are in the. To do this, you need to go to the text folder inside the main data folder. The first task is to give the unit a real name. Note not only the absence of a name and description, but the absence of a proper picture. ….and that’s on huge unit sizes! They may look good, but the unit description reveals that they are far from finished: These warriors will be powerful, but not unstoppable.

In addition, they will be led by a Norse Swordsman. Basically, they will look like Viking Raiders with an armour upgrade, with a small unit size and a large attack. For my example, I will be making Berserkergang. For information on that file, see myĮxport_descr_unit.txt guide.
Time to say thank you to all subscribers! If you want something changed or find a missing card, just give me feedback.This guide assumes that you have unpacked the data files using the method foundĪlso, it is assumed that you have an understanding of the export_descr_unit.txt file. Maybe this Guide for creating 3D unit cards can assist you. If you are familiar with design/image editing, you can try creating your own 3D cards and ask me to implement them in the NordoPic project. Note that there is currently more than enough work for me and I am not planning to add more mods except very small ones.
If you have a small unit mod that would be nice to add, you can write a wish in the Wishes and Requests discussion. All mods contained there gain 3D cards by subscribing to NordoPic if they do not already have them.
To see the full list of supported unit mods I created this Collection of supported mods. Most images for vanilla units are taken from Normal's Rome II Unit Icons mod – credit to Normal. NordoPic gives you more than 2,000 new 3D unit cards for the vanilla game and dozens of supported unit mods.
Your unit cards will look like the units in battle and make your game more fresh and colourful. It replaces them with individual designed 3d pictures. This mod is for everyone who is weary of the 2d unit images in Rome II.
