This gives the longswordsman an elite skirmishers shield and a curved sword. It also adds a more eastern looking point to the top of his helmet. Could be used as a Bulgarian, Magyar, Mongolic, or possibly even arab or asian swordsman (but the latter two are probably a stretch).
Just install with MPS. Also slp's are included if you want to replace something other than the longswordsman.
Use as you like.
UPDATE 3/10/2011 I was annoyed with the shield looking too western european, so I modified it. The new one looks more Bulgarian (see lower images). I included SLP's for both the new and old version in case anyone perfers the older one (see upper images).
Would be nice if he was given more eastern looking clothes.

Good point. But from the images I've found I'm not sure how they should differ. But honestly I'm probably not good enough at this to pull it off anyways.

@Dave I think I will use that soldier in my mod for a Bulgarian swordsman

If you added the Jannissary robes to it. it would have looked awesome.

Great idea Possidon!
When I get to phase 2 of my Romanian project I'll give that a try for my Ottoman invaders.

Lovely modification, simple but useful. This unit is what I am going to use for my Crusades campaign as the Saracen infantry while I retain the men-at-arms with long shields for the Franks. Superb. Two thumbs up!

Dave can you give me your email address because I have a proposition for you. I have an unfinished unit that I cannot find time to finish. I was wondering if you could finish it and I will give you credit. Email me if you want to help. Your units are great by the way!

Right now I'm working on way too many units as it is and I just can't commit to any more right now. Sorry.
