Men-at-Arms Art Boost
SubscriberCrusader Kings III · v1.19 · by Ketaros
About
Give your regiments the faces they deserve.
Men-at-Arms Art Boost replaces the generic, shared unit artwork of Crusader Kings III with unique, hand-picked illustrations for more than fifty men-at-arms — so a Spanish Caballero, an English Longbowman, a Byzantine Cataphract and a Japanese Jomsviking each finally look the part in the recruitment window. Pure eye-candy: it changes only the pictures, never the balance.
✨ What it does
- 🎨 Custom art for 52 men-at-arms — cultural regiments, holy-order elites, DLC units and accolade troops that otherwise reuse the same handful of generic pictures.
- 🌍 Culture-true illustrations — each unit gets artwork that matches its people and place, from the Sahel to Tibet.
- 🖼️ Big & small versions for every unit, shown across the men-at-arms interface.
- ⚖️ 100% cosmetic — stats, costs and counters are untouched, so it's safe to add or remove anytime and compatible with balance mods.
🗡️ Skirmishers skirmishers
🏹 Archers & Crossbows archers
⚔️ Heavy Infantry heavy infantry
🐎 Light Cavalry light cavalry
🐴 Heavy Cavalry heavy cavalry
🔱 Pikemen pikemen
🏅 Accolade & Special Regiments
The elite accolade men-at-arms — plus camel and elephant riders — get their own dedicated artwork too:
✅ Compatibility
