Carthage Reloaded Project
I have decided to undertake a modelling and skinning project. My aim is to totally rework the carthaginian faction, in much the same was as the roman factions have been done before, complete with officers and standard barers, unit cards and sprites.
I have decided that I will stay ture to the colour themes of the original RTW (blue/white), because I would like my units to be easily integrated into a vanilla game. Also for this reason I will not be adding any new units to the carthaginian roster just new models.
Once work is completed I will release the project for download, with no restriction on use! Units will be free to use in total or inpart for an project personal or publicly avalible mod, a mention in the credits would be nice .
Well for now at least I'm done the pack is ready to download
To DOWNLOAD follow this link to the downloads section

Ive release the pack as a mod folder so Ive already coded all the units into the game. If you want to add them to an existing mod you'll have to do the coding yourself, but all the files are well named so it should be easy.
If you want to run the mod foldered version, then you'll need a clean RTW and place the CARTHAGE folder inside your Rome - Total War folder. Then right click your shortcut and select properties the add -mod:carthage to the target line it should look something like
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:carthage
Ok first unit is the City Militia (updated version)
Ibeian Infantry (the breast plate is part of the model and not just the skin)
Updated version
Libyan Infantry (updated version)
Poeni Infantry
You will see that I have produced to versions of this unit one with a round shield and one with a more romanised shield. I think I prefer the round shield, but both will be avalible in the download. Maybe the romanised unit could be a later veteran unit.
Updated Version (remodelled helmet and shield also new face on the skin)
Carthaginian Sacred Band
Updated version
Thats all for now as I said Im currently working on the cavalry units and hopefully they will follow soon. I hope you like the units as there are more to come like it or not
As promised the cavalry units including elephants.
The horses used in these pictures are pins horses, as such will not be included in my download pack.
First the Numidian Light Cavalry (horse skin included will work with both pins and vanilla horses.
Updated Version
Next the Iberian Medium Cavalry (horse model and skin not included)
Updated version (new helmet face and solid shield)
The Sacred Band Heavy Cavalry (horse model and skin not included)
Updated version
Finally the Elephants (Forest elephant model from vanilla with new skin, the tower elephant is new model and skin)
I'm quite pleased with the tower elephant and will be making some armoured riders to go with it.
Balearic Slinger
Updated
New entry to the project and I think for a little while the last (still got to reskin the lybian infantry but they're not new). Still intend to make some generals and standard bearers but I think I will upload them separately. So Ive made a kind of companion style cavalry for the generals bodyguard. Put a screen shot on a while ago but have tweeked the model since then
Officers
AOR UNITS NOT CURRENT IN CARTHAGE RELOADED PACK.
Have been making some aor units for carthage and have started with a gallic swordsman, which could be used as a merc or an aor unit. I have produced a different skin variation also using green instead of blue. This way the blue skin could be used for carthage as an aor or by briton, and the green could be used by gaul or as a merc unit.
