    Need a custom head model or two for the Nubian males, like this: Need the earrings prop in the game, it model's position readjusted downward a little bit, exported at the head position. This model is used for both the Mauryans and Kushites. Need a custom head model for the Nubian females. Like this: Need the ostrich feather props modeled. 1, 2, and 3 feathers, exported at the head prop point so they don't disappear when the unit is gathering. I'd imagine we'd make the feathers player color.

    An attempt was made. Elite Nubian Archer. He's the elite archer, so would have 3 feathers in his hair. Advanced has 2. Basic only has one. This is for the Nubian Archer and Nubian Spearman only. His hair also needs to have some geometry, either as a "helmet" model exported to sit at the head prop point, or as a whole new head model, which might be easier in the long run. Looks like an upside down bowl.

    @Sundiata?

    The game really needs cool new mountain meshes and new rock formations.

    I was just too lazy to put the blood.

    Wow, what a nice reference.
  7. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Oh yeah. Definitely could combine the features of both the corral and a stables into one building as shown there in the middle.

    I'd give skirmishers a bonus vs. ranged cavalry

    Horse can stamp, can buck, can do all kinds of things. Maybe try looking on Youtube?

    Original post edited: For the mercs, I suggest you only have one buildable Mercenary Village that houses all 4 of the mercs, Nuba and Blemmye. While for scenarios you can have the 2 separate ones modeled and working, for skirmishes and random maps I think one unified one would be better, else you overwhelm the player with choice. You can say "What about the Carthaginians?" I'd say that's a fairly unique aspect of one singular civ and is probably better to keep it that way. Or...... what about this? The Kushite player receives one free Blemmye Village and one free Nuba Village at the start of the match, out near the edges of the player's territory. The units aren't trainable until Phase II. I already do something very much like this for the Greek civs and their free Stoa. Changed my mind, I think those Villages, one for each ethnicity would work fine. What's good for Carthage is good for another. Maybe they are restricted to being built in neutral territory and are easily capturable. For the Temple and the Temple Guards, for TM, since it's trying to remain a rather straight forward mod without too many changes to the core game, I think there are 3 options: 1. Have 2 buildable temples, each with their own champions and unique aspects. Easiest. 2. Have 1 generic temple that can be upgraded to one or the other temple, Amun or Apedemak. No need for modding code on this one. I already do something like this with the Mauryan Maiden Archer, and the core game already does this with the sentry towers, so it's an established feature already. 3. Have 1 generic temple that has both champions available, but like with the Seleucid reform techs, have a tech pair that unlocks one or the other. If the AOM-style choice UI is ever implemented, then that opens up all kinds of cool possibilities, but for now if I were you I'd choose one of the above options.

    The best way to eliminate redundancy and hopefully don't overload their roster is to look at roles and only put one unit per role. For instance, it's currently spec'ed that there's a citizen-soldier axeman and a champion axeman. Axes are unique enough weapons in the game that having two of the same type of unit might seem a bit overkill. I know some other civs double-up this way, but if you're looking to streamline things this is the best way to cut. Obviously, the Apekasjsdjhgs's Faithful axeman should remain. I'd say the citizen-soldier axeman can be replaced with a swordsman that uses a sword similar to this one on the left. It's a unique looking piece of equipment, and the general blade shape seems to be used on multiple examples. For the mercs, I suggest you only have one buildable Mercenary Village that houses all 4 of the mercs, Nuba and Blemmye.

    Hmmm, there are several active good mods. What about this for an official release schedule: Alpha 23 preview release Alpha 23 Alpha 24 preview release Alpha 24 etc.? 3 months between each release. There's nothing like a deadline to put some butts on fire. Preview releases are stable builds that include no new content just all the fixes and whatnot for the previous release, maybe a few new features, some balancing changes, etc. but with these releases, mods like Hyrule, Delenda Est, Terra Magna, Balance Mod, etc. can choose to release for them. Also, you keep some interest going between the big 6 month releases. Six months is a long time, and just going by Youtube video count, content creators run out of things to say about the game by about month 3. Just an idea.

    Why are the shadows so fuzzy? Makes the lighting look overcast.
  15. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    I even gave some ochre skin.
  16. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    These peoples here: Images provided by @Sundiata I think what they need now are better shields and a club for the clubman.
  17. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    The Nuba mercs portrayed in my image are simple tribesmen.
  18. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    First attempt at some Nuba mercs. The "clubman" holds a Mauryan mace for now. @stanislas69 or @LordGood or @Alexandermb: a new club object would be nice.
  19. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Right, but what I propose explicitly makes clear the important break between Meroe and Napata. You as the leader of your Kushites choose whether to stay true to the priesthood of Amun or favor the cult of Apedemak instead. To make TM simpler though, it'd probably just be easier to allow the player to build 2 different temples.
  20. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Time. lol
  21. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    lol, word.
  22. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    I feel like you're going to have a bad time when it comes to maintaining your changes. Make sure you work very closely with the team and maybe you can get some of your changes implemented into the public mod code when applicable.
  23. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    If it works out good, then I think it would be an excellent choice to give this to the Kushites. When phasing up to Town Phase, player chooses Amun or Apedemak. This unlocks different temples, which have unique techs and access to different champions. What do you think @Sundiata?
  24. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Here's my suggestion. Have a generic temple that can upgrade, i.e. give allegiance, to either Apedemak or Amun. Apedemak Temple gives you the Apedemak's Faithful axeman -- anti-building-- and the Amun Temple gives you the Napatan Temple Guard khopeshman -- anti-infantry. Each temple also comes with a couple of unique techs. If any civ could use the Age of Mythology minor god choice UI, it would be the Kushites. Wish that was possible. Would be my ideal choice actually, but upgrading the Temples would be a good secondary choice.

    Mimo is right. If you name the buildings along the standard way, as close to the standard format as possible, and even trick the AI with giving class names to things and making the AI treat them according to class and get some kind of approximation of real gameplay out of the AI without having to write an entirely new AI. Classes and template names are not seen by the player, only VisibleClasses is seen by the player, put custom classes there.
