The Bronze Age Mod Fundraiser for Unit Commission

(1 USD = 9.45 kr, -> 2400 kr = 254 USD)

Over the course of this project I've been asked several times whether the mod will ever have a patreon or something similar to support the project. While I always have been, and remain, unwilling to personally accept money, recently I've come to the realization that the money can be raised to fix something the mod quite sorely lack, awesome unit models.

Why does this need to be commissioned?
There is essentially only one person who can do this and that is professional 3D artist Kieran Owen, also known as Owlcoholic, who has done work on the LotR mod as well as initially also contributing to the Bronze Age mod with the amazing unit currently used by the Aegeans, Phrygians, Luwians and Hurrians... Yeah that is a lot, and really shows the mods lack of good units.

Sadly for the mod, but fantastic for him, he got a job to actually do this stuff professionally, which meant he could no longer dedicate what little remains of his free time to several mod projects.

So a few days ago I reached out to him wondering what commissioning a unit would cost. Eventually we agreed the sorely needed Mesopotamian unit model would require a total of 250 USD. That amount might come as a surprise to some, but a 3D unit model is a lot of work and paying full commercial price would cost significantly more. To create a high quality unit on par with the base games unit would require setting aside working on other, higher paying jobs for several days.

All in all the price isn't chump change but would be a significant improvement to the mod and the unit will of course be available for any other mod to use as well.

I really hope there are enough of you that have the money to spare and the passion to give to make this a possibility!

Disclaimer 
In case not enough money is raised or there is leftover or any other situation, I will personally not take any of this money for myself but instead donate it to the Save The Children  charity. So in the best case your donation enriches the mod for everyone and supports a great artist or at worst supports a great charity.

Thank you!
