About this mod

The Spah adds 21 new mercenary troops that are heavily influenced by Iranian (Persian) military culture, weapons and armors, mainly the Sassanids. My Little Warband, Open Source Armory, Open Source Saddlery and Open Source Weaponry are hard requirements. if you have a thing for naked Persians, You may as well skip the OSA.

THE SPAH


There are very few mods dealing with the great Iranian civilization, so I decided to add a small mod to this collection. Currently, there are 21 troops in The Spah, the equipment and names of 14 of them have been chosen as historically accurate as possible. The equipment of the remaining 7 elite (tier 5) troops is fairly historically accurate, but has been sprinkled with a bit of fiction powder to make them look aristocratic, powerful, and immortal. The names of these 7 elite forces are based on the rich, supreme and vast Iranian mythological creatures. I would not consider these units overpowered at all but they are at the same level as the other elite forces of the game.
NOTE: It’s a beta version of the mod, and depending on whether you guys like or not, an stand alone version with more troops and exclusive custom SFX will be released.
