Damn right.. Sorry to say that I have fallen almost entirely out of love with this game, probably the joint biggest disappointment of all awaited games for me with Sim City.. I cant see my self...

Just a couple of other units tonight...

It just needs to look like this..

Just thought I would post a few screens of what I am working on these days..

This unit is the elite Parthian Royal bodyguard, not available to recruit, only as a generals bodyguard.. Part of a...

Updated OP with new questions and daniu's answers..

Hey guys, I see there has been a fair bit of activity since I last posted, long story short, it took me around 3 hours to get home from work today, so I will update the OP with the Q&A's that have...

@achilles-91, thanks a lot mate, sure its great if someone takes enjoyment out of this upload..

I haven't stopped working on this mod (there has not been an update in a while)..

I could have...

Again there is a released mod which does this.. I will add it to the OP, but the wisest course of action would be to politely ask the author..

Better Water III HD

Have you played around with the "variantmeshdefinitions" files with regards to the 3d models displayed on the campaign map? There are plenty of files, from what I have seen that correlate to Spy's,...

You can send me the DL link in a PM and I will take a look at for you if you like..

Added to the OP..

I would also like to know this and I will do some experimenting.. But as always if any passers by know the answer to this question please do post..

Hey, I believe I might have the answer to that one.. Or actually it goes along the same principle as what Swiss has already said..



So when you import the "land_units" table do not add a prefix...

As I discover them during the course of modding I will list them at the bottom of the OP here..

I have already completely overhauled Persia (but not made them playable yet) new faction colours,...

Thanks again Swiss, I will update the OP with the information you have given, and tomorrow I am going to be doing a lot of testing on the regions, trying to match them up so its clear what table...

Hey Swiss!

Thanks for all the info, I guess a lot of this info is known from Shogun 2 right? And you did plenty of work already with the warscape engine.. And I havent played around since Empire.....

@ Ultimaratio.. I think they might all be in use in the game as "varientmeshdefinitions" I.e. the variety of armour components used within one unit..

@ achilles-91.. I will include this in the...

Lord knows why that didn't work for me.. I found the db>factions_tables>faction and edited the RGB values for the Roman faction.. It seems as there are 3 of them within this directory I edited the...

Would that not change the colour on the unit card across all factions? I mean they are white as the colour is added via either the PFM or an xml by an RGB value? Isnt it?

New questions:

Q: Is...

A fantasy ancient mythology mod to the size and standards of the 3rd age total war would be awesome..

But, even if started in earnest right now, it would be years before any release.. Here's...

Its what they should have implemented from the start.. EB had many of these features and was all the richer gameplay experience for it..

However, some of what you have proposed is a lot of work.....

Well thats what I thought, and why I tried out the creten archers, so I'm all out of ideas as far as other archers who have shields and weapons go..




I dont think there are any armoured...

Yeah you sure can do that, but like you said.. how about creating new AOR recruitment for non Roman factions, unrelated to the Auxiliary?

Edit: eh? I didn't see the 2 posts above this one.. dunno...

Hey..

Yeah I found the flags already, I was asking about the actual colour which represents your empire on the mini-map in the campaign game..

The data/ui/units/icons & or masks, is where the...

So...

from my limited playthrough as Rome and a few other factions, it would seem as though Rome are the...

Well from Wiki (I know, I know..)



So swords are ok for me, because what I put together really sounds nothing like the historical description, but maybe I will change them.. Spears and Bows...

So...

Though I'd bump my own thread as I might have found some information for anyone whom stumbles across this..


...

I'm using the one that's available on this thread along with the full Radious mod, with no problem..

Did you copy the UI folder directly into your data folder? Or did you accidentally place it...

Thanks..



Nope, I have only created 2 new units, the other units are all already in the db, I just unlocked them for other factions..

197000 - 198999

Looks good so far... Are you using an ENB? the screenshots look nice..

How far are you to finding out how to change the faction colour for the mini-map in the campaign and campaign strategic map?...

Excellent tutorial..

Do you know how to change the faction colours displayed on the mini-map in the campaign? And that new strategic map they added to RTWII?

Maybe if these questions get answered, I will edit the 1st post and put them below the questions, and continue that theme with other peoples questions.. just a thought..

P.s. Hate bumping my own...

Sorry about that.. v0.7 is now up on the 1st post.. should be ok now..




Yeah they sound interesting, I have been peeking at the unit roster for EB, as its probably the best guide and the...

If you see any questions and you can answer, please do.. Also if you have any questions of your own, feel free to post them here and hopefully someone passing by can answer them.. Once a question has...

Photoshop or Gimp with the Nvidia .dds plugin so you can edit them.. You just need to find the .dds file you want to change with the PFM..

Im pretty sure that's how you would have to go about...

Thanks.. Well my immediate plans are to add a little more variety to the current playable factions..

You have to remember, there is nothing original here or in any of the other unit mods I have...

Anyone feel like helping out with new unit cards for any of these would be great.. just putting it out there..

Edit: 1st post updated with version 0.6.. now released..

Well everyone is getting archers.. I'm pretty sure I will get that done soon.

Is there any evidence or lack of to suggest that the bow was not in use in certain parts of the campaign map in the...

Might update tomorrow and add a couple of new units, but been spending all my time on gta5 this week..

Anyone got any suggestions for units they want to see or factions they want expanding?

Well Im using Radious all-in-one mod just fine.. unless Im using an outdated version and his latest build now clashes with mine..

Update 1st post with NUM v0.5

Eastern Noble Spearmen...
