Would anyone be willing to make some faction symbols for my mod?

**Totalwar14** · December 07, 2012, 04:51 PM

I downloaded the tutorial and even had a go making most of them. But they look so atrocious and bad. The rest of my Essos mod is coming along fine but I'd like to start implimenting the banners and not have them look really bad. My artist skills on GIMP just aren't up to scratch.

So if somebody knows how to make some faction symbols I'd be very grateful and more than happy to add you to the contributors when its released.

Factions-
Targaryen-What you would expect the classic red three headed dragon on a black background.
Yunkai- Apparently their flag is white with the symbol of a harpy.
New Ghis-They're Ghiscari so something similar to the Yunkish in theme.
Mantarys-Same as above.
Qaarth-Not sure. Gold seems to fit.
Volantis-Green and elephants or tigers seem closely associated with the city.
Norvos-Axes seem to be important to the priesthood of this city.
Qohor-They worship a black goat.
Braavos-The colour most associated with them is purple and the titan is an obvious image to take.
Pentos-Not a clue
Tyrosh-Not a clue
Lys-Well, they like bright colours apparently.

Sure, I will make you a few faction symbols, I can start working on a few next weekend, contact me with more details if you need to.

What about the Dothraki? Anyways I think this sounds great and if you need some help with traits and making characters then I might be able to help. But I am not to great.

Also Pentos could be a scale, sword, and "silver scourge" (whatever that means).

Some of the Tyroshi worshop Trios, the god with three heads. Maybe look for a picture of Cerberus and model it after him.

I actually forgot the two Dothraki factions (Khal Pono and Khal Jhaoqo). I was actually surprised by how many factions you could get on RTW. If I hadn't done the map already I might have added the Basilisk Isles as a faction.

Thanks for the suggestions. "Silver Scourge"? Oddly ominous considering.

I might PM you once I start fine tuning things like unique character models and traits. At the minute I've got the witchking on a fellbeast for Daenerys. lol

A scourge is whip used to drive slaves. Makes sense as Pentoshi were slavers before they lost a war with the anti-slave Braavosi.

Ahhh, right.

Its funny because when I was doing the diplomacy I had to make pretty much every faction minus Pentos hostile to Daenerys. Most of them minus Pentos and Braavos to my understanding are slavers. Since Braavos has recently started giving money to somebody

and they hate dragons that puts them in the enemy camp. So Pentos is Danys only friend.

Good luck with the mod. Is this a continuation of the original Essos submod project, or is it something different?

Its a continuation of what I was doing; yes. Early on I decided to use Rome Total War instead of medieval, so techniclly its not a submod, as I said I only decided to post here because I don't have my own page and this is where all the Ice n fire people are. Consider it a social question and I'am sure if other people do Essosi based mods the material would be shared and such anyway. Origionally I was going to use med, but decided against it in the end.

BTW I'am getting this really weird error where its asking for a skeleton called fs_swordsman_110 even though I've had all the files out and know its definetly in. I have another unit outside the main skeleton folder, do I have to roll that into the main skeleton file for the root to not get confused? However I found that even if I put fs_swordsman in seperately I get the same issue.
