The Complete Byzantine Unit Roster Project (CBUR) is a mod, which aims to add authentic, historically accurate Byzantine units to Medieval 2 Total War.
History
At first, the project started out as a part of the Dominion of the Sword mod, but soon became a standalone mod for Medieval 2 Total War. There are three unit roster projects for CBUR, as seen below, going from the oldest to the most recent project:
- The armies from 700 AD to 900 AD
- The armies from 900 AD to 1079 AD
- The armies from 1080 AD to 1453 AD (Most Recent Project)
Description
As stated above, The Complete Byzantine Unit Roster Project aims to bring the player new, authentic and historically accurate troops to Medieval 2 Total War. The player has the option to download three different Byzantine unit rosters (see above). On top of that, the mod was designed so that players can use CBUR with other mods as well, even their own.
Features
These three Byzantine unit rosters focus on three different and unique time frames in Byzantine history. Each unit roster is different and historically accurate to the corresponding time frame. The differences in the unit roster simulate the changes that the Byzantine Army went through, throughout their history (in this case from 700 AD to 1500 AD). CBUR features the Byzantine units from 700 AD to 900 AD, from 900 AD to 1079 AD (a.k.a. Nikephorean Armies) and from 1080 AD to 1453 AD (a.k.a. Komnenean Armies). CBUR does not work with the Vanilla (default) version of Medieval 2 Total War. On the other hand, CBUR was designed, so that it is already integrated into some well-known Medieval 2 Total War mods, including:
- Stainless Steel
- Dues Lo Volt
- Rusichi Total World
- And various other mods as well, which can be found here.
A ton of newly skinned, modeled and accurately presented units, including:
- Scoutati
- Varangian Guard
- Aristocratae
- Cavalarii
- Trapezitae
- Contarati
- Menaulati
- Peltastae
- Toxotae
- Acontistae
- Gasmuli
- Acritae
- Mourtati
- Stratiotae
- Latinikon
- Alamani
- And a ton of more!
