(I tend to agree that this faction should represent both Rashiduns and Umayyads).

Idea for houses and civic center:

Walls and tower walls:

*Another door:

You just have to take the main architectural and structural idea and make it small to proportion.

 

Less columns, less galleries.

It's a bit random, but I tried to throw a couple of ideas for the missing Umayyad buildings, based on the references in this thread.

 

As I mentioned here, I would be maybe interested to help pushing a bit this mod, to make it on par with the main game. But my 3D skills are pretty basic and I'm totally not a developer, so I was wondering if there's still interest around this mod also by other more experienced users, or where should I start to look around just to experiment a bit..? 

 

Anyway, feel free to use the image below as inspiration for a couple of buildings, just in case ;)

It reminds me of the CC of the Sasanids that I proposed.

ahahah actually I think I missed that..! I took the latest pictures of buildings here as a reference, but I'm not surprised we came up with similar solutions!

Anyway, it was just to try something out.. if you think it can be helpful, I can work on the full family of buildings / assets for this civ. But eventually there's the need to actually implement them in 3D and into the game, and I'm a total noob on that. So that's why I was wondering if there are also other people interested in the endeavour that may support on the technical aspects, so things don't have to be made completely from scratch! :)

(basically: I don't even know where to start LOL but I can try!)

the difference is little. basically my idea was a structure with a dome and many arches.

Hey wow!! There are some pretty good assets from that thread! Yeah, some of them could definitely fit with this civilization too 

Ps: btw, why Sassanid haven't been implemented in Vanilla? They look super rad! 

The natural thing is to go for the Iranians first.

From there by the Axumites and the Roman Arabs (Palmyra).
