Hey Delenda Est team! First of all, thank you so much for this incredible mod. The gameplay mechanics, the tech tree, and the depth you’ve added to 0 A.D. make it an absolute blast to play and tinker with. I wanted to share a fun creative project I’ve been messing around with locally. I noticed there isn't much representation for ancient Southeast Asian maritime empires in the community, so I’ve been trying to put together an Empire of Srivijaya identity using Delenda Est as my baseline framework. Since I don't have the 3D modeling skills to build an entire civilization from scratch, I’ve been kitbashing and re-skinning existing assets from your mod to make a "proxy" faction. I am using the Mauryas as the mechanical backbone because Srivijaya itself was heavily inspired by india and its units are pretty much close in terms of appearance to those of the Srivijayan/Malayan (such as the infantry and elephants!). To dress the soldiers, I've had to get pretty creative with the props. I actually found that a few of your specific Hellenic helmets look surprisingly similar to ancient Southeast Asian bronze and brass helmets! By pairing those with the Mauryan armors, I've managed to piece together a really cool, convincing visual style for the frontline troops. Furthermore, I found the Xiongnu shields perfect for the regular infantries! (my main goal of reskinning the units is to differentiate them from looking too indianized, and more southeast asian!) In matters of the buildings however, I still have no idea on how to model 3d buildings with Melayu architectures or to implement it in the files, but I wish to learn more. But I did manage to change its names to Old Malay (as well as the units too!). Just to be completely clear: This is strictly a 100% private hobby project for personal use and to play LAN games with a few friends. I have absolutely no plans to publish this publicly, upload it to mod.io, or distribute it online anywhere. I just wanted to drop a message to say thank you for creating such an awesome, flexible modding framework that allows a history nerd like me to play around and bring a personal favorite empire to life on my own computer. Keep up the amazing work! I'll just drop some screenshots of the Melayu Swordsmen and Spearmen (Sorry if its real bad!) Short information on the Empire of Srivijaya: Flourishing from the 7th to the 13th century, the Srivijaya Empire was a powerful, Sumatra-based maritime kingdom that dominated Southeast Asian trade by controlling vital waterways like the Strait of Malacca. Operating as a flexible network of local rulers loyal to a central maharaja, the empire built a thriving commercial economy trading spices, gold, and timber with global powers like China and India. Beyond its economic might, Srivijaya served as a major international hub for Mahayana Buddhism, fostering deep cultural and religious ties across the region, including connections to Java’s Sailendra dynasty. Following a devastating invasion by the southern Indian Chola dynasty in 1025, the empire's political and economic grip steadily weakened, leading to its eventual decline and replacement by the Javanese Majapahit Empire by the 14th century.

Buenos días o tardes : - @Genava55 estamos teniendo problemas con las referencias de unidades de la facción "Cirene" ¿Tiene usted alguna referencias gráfica o descriptiva sobre su aspecto? (Por el momento van a tener un aspecto Ptolemaico,menos los auxiliares libios , que ya los tenemos bien diferenciados de la propia facción "Libios") Desculpe-me pelas inconveniências*
