Carthaginians by maximusminimus

[AlCord]

I've made a little trick with the helm crest and alpha channel to achieve that helm shape.

Do you mean with this statement that the poeni infantry has no crest?

[maximusminimus]

Town militia.

I used the helm crest to make a helm part (see picture).

[AlCord]

Ok, then it's all normal Thought something was wrong because there was no crest but the helm design looks like there should be one *wink*

[maximusminimus]

This is what i'm using for the carthaginian peltast.
I've updated the skin, but it doesn't look much diferent from this.

Here's the sceenshot.

[maximusminimus]

And the skin.

[AlCord]

But much better than these old white ones

Or if you prefer to use these guys:

Here is the Lusitani raiders skin.

Edit: That's all for now. Tomorrow i'll post some more units, as well as the horses and elephants.

Have fun.

Hi there

First of all- great work, MM. hope to see the rest of your efforts soon .

I know, that you're probably rather busy polishing your next releases, but maybe someone else could help me. The problem is, I can't find proper line to edit in order to get those extraordinary Libyan Spearmen, Poeni Infantry and Sacred Band into the game. Had no problems implementing Caetrati & Scutarii skins - simply edited the line "texture" in each unit section and it worked. With Libyans for example, I can't even find this unit section. :blush Errrr...well, I found some Carthaginian_medium_infantry, but there's no "texture" line to swap the tga file...Dunno what to do now. I'm a classic modding noob, so please be so kind to make your eventual soluition simple. I'm playing RTR 5.1.

[Hoglerdanske]

hey maximusminimus have you dicided if the standard was to have red or white tunic?

[maximusminimus]

@ Hoglerdanske:
I decided to keep it white for now, i don't want him to look kind of "Romanish"... But maybe i'll make a red tunic version latter.

@ tristan and all:
Ok, i'll put here some of my txt files for reference.

NOTICE: Do not overwrite you files with these, because they are WIP, and contain many lines not compatible with your game.

- Use the descr_model_battle.txt to copy and paste the relevant lines.
Allways doublecheck the texture name just to make shure you're doing the right thing.

For the Sacred Legion unit, scroll to the Greeck section and see how i changed the Armoured Hoplite entries. After that, scroll down to the end of the file, and copy the relevant "added custom units" lines. These guys will retain all their ingame specific voices. *wink*

- Use the export_descr_unit.txt if you want to copy some lines of my edited unit stats.

- Use the export_descr_unit_enums.txt to copy the lines at the bottom only when i release the bodyguard units.

- Use the export_descr_buildings.txt to copy the relevant lines, if you want to add Scutari and archers to the units Carthage can recruit.
I have edited some buildings to give happiness and law bonuses (walls and adminnistrative buildings), maybe you want that also: *wink*

I hope this is clear enough to get you started.
If something goes wrong, let me know and i'll try to help you fix it.
I've been playing a carth campaign for quite sometime, and it's working like a charm, so you sholdn't have any problems.

Here are the files.

understod! but he looks cool anyway!

[tristan]

Thanks a lot . Now I'm outta here to check out those guys in combat .

[maximusminimus]

Sorry guys, i had to delay the release of the other skins for a while.

Here's a little update on the Iberian infantry. Just some minor retouches on the shield, but i think it looks better now.

[maximusminimus]

And the texture.

[vlad]

sacred legion nice units
i have infor too :cartaginian units must be like macedonians or seleucid phalanx soldiers -but with short spears

[KALI]

Some cool skins Maximus,
lots of very good work. I've also got the shield your using for the iberian infantry but I won't divulge our source *wink*

[maximusminimus]

@ vlad:
Thanks vlad, i agree, from what i've read the carthaginians used to fight like the macedonian phalanx.

@ KALI:
Yea, i've seen it on one of your units!
I do a lot of copy/paste on my skins, and i'm allways searching for "real" shields and armour, to use on my skins. *wink*

[maximusminimus]

Another update.
This is the Sacred Legion with Linothorax armour. Doesn't look bad, does it?
I think i'll put the two versions, so you can choose the one ya like most. *wink*

[Kdar]

Looks good )))))))
