My first "mod"

[Deicide4u]

I proudly present my first game modification

I've replaced the weird Hellenic infantry spearman portrait (found here) with a more aesthetically pleasing one (just a previous icon, really):

 

Here is how it looks in-game:

 

Now, let's see if I can replace that ugly old Barracks portrait. And maybe fix some bugs by backporting code to this version.

EDIT:

I've replaced the icons for both Barracks and the Roman Army Camp.

Alpha 9 used Fortress portrait as a placeholder for the camp.

EDIT2:

Persian Barracks and stable portraits also backported. It's already much nicer to look at.

This is the current hoplite icon:

I think it might be a good idea to use the same icon for the same unit type, irrespective of civ, to avoid confusion and decrease thinking time. Hoplites are not the same as spearman though.

Not applicable or appropriate for the Alpha 9 version, that I'm using.

I'm doing incremental updates to an earlier Alpha. My first big plan is to backport healing by Priests, and any bug fixes possible. I've already removed the useless and legacy "Stamina" attribute.

There was a blue bar next to health, now it's gone.

Eventually, I hope to make a total conversion mod for this specific version, complete with custom AI and build orders. If you've ever played Praetorians RTS, that is something I have in mind.
