Sorry, I saw that excellent reference picture and presumed it was a Georgian soldiers. I've corrected the error and saved the lion for later.

Cheers

Cheers to you brother.

[Tadzreuli]

"Metsikhovne" looks awesome - town/castle guard. Is more similar to my figure here

they are good simbols but belong to

late period of Georgian history

from 17 to 19 centures

of course except third one which is st. George

the most importent saint of Georgia

this looks like it will be a great mod for the middle east and I think you've got the map size just right (Bigmap was TOO big for my liking ) I just hope it doesn't die like so many other good mods...

[JERUSALEM]

those are really great shields

one must definitly have to use it especialy

those which are more bigger.

right one is very impressive

cool pics find more

here are some european shields

have good luck

Alphadelta,

You've really outdone yourself. The Georgian skins are looking awsome! And remember: if you have to choose quality over history - choose quality. If the symbols are ahistorical, we can tolerate it - this is not a 100% historical mod so give yourself plenty of creative freedom.

At the same time try not to over color them and it would nice if the color contrast was toned down. We still want the units to be realistic and believable.

But I'm really happy with your stuff and Phoenix[Illusion] has joined the team. He's a pretty amazing skinner who can make stuff from scratch (just pictures) and you two together will make our skinning department move along very smoothly

Thanks!

Thanks for your interest Ketchup.
I've already done way too much stuff for the map for this mod to fail. The only thing is not IF but WHEN.
The campaign map is almost done (rivers and provinces left) and we've already got two awsome skinners as you can see above. Hopefully by the start of summer we will have an amazing team and we will shred through this mod and finish it no time!

[phoenix[illusion]]

Hi everyone! I've joined the team.
Just to ask, when do we start?

[Miraj]

Hi everyone! I've joined the team.

NOW! J/k. Anytime you want.

Can I get you to do some stuff for some new persian/muslim units? Basically this mod will have a variety of muslim cavalry and many types of horse archers - as faction and mercenary units. One of the units will be the "Ghulam cavalry" - they are the basic medium cav unit of the Khwarezm and Ghazni factions. They are similar to what the "Arab cavalry" of the east. Basically a decorated and unarmoured horse with a armoured rider with mace and lance.

I will PM you some illustrations in a second.

[JERUSALEM]

yes i agree with u he did good job

he is coolest skinner

of course he is not able to do it 100% historicaly accurate

but

he is doing it even quite well so don't blame


much respect to all here

especially to you AlphaDelta

[The Mongol]

I can get a bunch of Mongol pictures if you'd like mirage.

Best I can do anyways, I have no model/skinning experience.

[Miraj]

Some pics of Ghulam amd similar cavalry




(The guy on the left)


(the horseman on the right)


(the top horseman)


(the left horseman)


I'm hoping for a variety of ghulam (two to four). Some for factions some as mercs. You can use a variety of Persian rug textures and tiles as a subsitutue for the horses saddle, mounts and horse decorations. For example: http://lemog.free.fr/lemog_v5/thumbnails.php?album=24

Plenty of site here:

Post em up or link em! We will not only add variety and color to the mongols but have many mongol-like horse mercs to the north in central asia.

[The Mongol]

Alright, just give me a bit. Gotta compile & upload em.

Btw, the Mongol armies had alot of auxilaries in their army. It'd be interesting if you could add some Korean Auxilaries (I have a picture of what they look like). They can be made from a mix of Mongol Light Archers and the Mongol Infantry I'm thinking.

Anyways, off to work on those images.

[Miraj]

Okay, thanks alot for all your help and support guys. I'm taking the next few days off this stuff as the map is almost done.

I will have new map preview up next weekend of ALL the regions complete with cities and rivers and proper farmlands and also a new provincial map pic detailing the regions and cities on the map and their names. I will give you all a chance to input what more cities you would like to see on it.

But thats for next week. I have 3 midterms coming up and I need to focus.

Good luck!

[The Mongol]

EDIT - All Mongol pictures will go to the illustrations thread soon enough

[phoenix[illusion]]
