Some fun modding for Delenda Est

[Tyrannosaurus]

I'll be sharing some casual modding work of mine for Delenda Est in this thread. I'll start with a Noba war elephant unit I made for fun.I I might create a new texture for the elephant so that it has war paint matching the player's color later.

Added some war paint to the elephant, but I have yet to figure out how to make it the player color (it is supposed to be blue here).

UPDATE: Figured it out at last.

And to round out the Noba roster a little bit more, here's some Noba spearmen.

Now the Noba have a dock and fishing boat! The warships their dock can train are all captured Kushite vessels.

And then we have the Noba stone tower! My goal has become to make the Noba a more or less playable faction in Delenda Est.

Next up is the Noba's hero unit, a fearsome javelin-throwing warrior queen!

Oh, and I also created a trainable tame lion unit for the Noba. You can train both the warrior queen and the lion at the Noba temple.

Looking good! I've wanted to play as the Noba for a while

I've implemented a promotion system for all Noba infantry units. Basic infantry will have simpler shield designs and no body paint, advanced infantry will put on body paint, and elite infantry will have feathers in their hair as well as more elaborate shield designs. I also changed the javelineers' shields to a rounded animal-hide design to make them stand out from the other infantry units.

She doesn't look like a queen in that outfit.

Well, I did want her to have a certain sex appeal.

Anyway, the Noba now have their own battle standard (it's a design I made up, but inspired by Nuba face-painting).

Playtesting the mod...

The Noba now have a fortress! I've decided that this will be where they train the warrior queen hero and the tame lions instead of the temple.

Also, the Noba warrior queen has an upgraded form with her riding an elephant (its war paint patterns are different from the others).
