From the feature stream today, we saw one of the Manchu units:

I don't know that much about Manchurian armor, but is this maybe even a unique model for cavalry? So they might get different cavalry and infantry models? I'm not gonna expect it but that would be cool.

Also saw that Korea's getting new units for sure, although it wasn't zoomed in close enough to make out properly.

I think it's a metal brimmed helmet in this sorta style though:

I guess we'll know for sure in a few weeks.

Oh, also a bunch of new models for Daimyos in the dev diary, I expect you all saw those already though. Seems like a German Princes style pack for them is guaranteed though, so that's really good. :) A whole lot of variety coming in this expansion, I'm really excited.
 
More units seen in the streams.

P.D: Actually, I'm not sure if Korean/Japanese units are Tier2 or 3

I'm thinking the Asian vanillas may be getting a revamp as well, as some of the Japanese models looked awfully... generic. Not bad, but generic. So I am expecting to see something along the lines as the same treatment the western units got last patch. :)
 
I don't see Finland in that list.

But yes, really lovely models. And love that things like turtle ships are included!

(I think it was part of a somewhat popular internet joke about Finns being Mongols)

These are simply great. I can't wait to play with them.

Guess @DarthJF won't complain---albeit he'd probably have wished it was Japanese and not Mongolian.:p

Anyway thanks for explaining. I was literally wondering whether there originally had been some Finnish renders shown by mistake.
 
Ming and Manchus are already specific for me !?
Not as good technically speaking, but I liked the design.
I might use the new ones for footsoldiers and the ones I already have as riders.
 
I was wondering if one day there will be a spritepack for the other European great powers such as Castille and Austria? To me it sounds kind of strange to make sprites for all types of OPM's and not for the actual great powers of that time.

Castille and Austria have sprites from the Catholic Major pack which was given out for free some time ago. (Think they got sprites for all tiers in it, but not certain.)
 
Hopefully this time we'll finally get the old tier 3 Italian unit models back for modders to use!

They seem to purposely ignore every post regarding this topic. It's quite a shame, the current T2 Italians use gear that fits T1 rather than T2, while the removed T3 would be more in line with other T2s. Also, the attack animation of the Italian T1 units is still bugged (easy to edit with a small mod, but they should fix it nevertheless).
