fatherbushido Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 It would be nice to have a portrait for that Ptolemaic unit. (A green one to follow the current portraits design.) ping @Enrique@wowgetoffyourcellphone@niektb and others :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Currently I prioritize champion status over mercenary status for the color. So, if is champion --red-- and mercenary --green-- then the unit gets red. Of course, this can change if thouest prefer something different.

fatherbushido Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Ok! So some champs (athenian archers and some) should get red? I would prefer that too. In public mod that Mercenary Thureos Skirmisher unit is non champion mercenary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Actually, the portrait is committed. The templates just need updated to point to the new and correct portraits. Also, some multiple unit can use the same portrait, so look for that too. I will go through the portraits tomorrow in the Public mod and make sure the units are the right color.

fatherbushido Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Ok! I will edit some templates. Else I don't see portraits for Ptolemaic Mercenary Thureos Skirmisher (nor in DE github, nor in current svn).

I might just mod the unit actor for more accuracy first before making the portrait and submit both here or to @Enrique.

They were armed with a long thrusting spear, javelins and a sword. They also usually wore an iron or bronze Macedonian helmet. The thureos was probably originally an adapted form of a Celtic shield. Thracian and Illyrian infantry probably adopted the shield before the Greeks. However it has been suggested that the thureos was brought to Greece after Pyrrhus of Epirus' campaigns in Italy, as his Oscan allies and Roman enemies used the scutum. Thureophoroi were a 3rd century development on the Peltast and wore no body armor, but did wear sturdy leather boots for quick movement. Thureophoroi could skirmish, as well as fight in a phalanx when necessary. They were often stationed on the flanks of the traditional pike phalanx as a flexible link between the heavier pikemen and the cavalry wings.

elexis Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 (Aren't the green cloths in portrait a bit bright and oversaturated? Can't imagine cloths with that tone 2000 years ago. Looks good otherwise. Also wondering if the eagle symbol would have been put there if it were crossed by some thing on top it on the shield.)

fatherbushido Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 @wowgetoffyourcellphone: in DE, the Mauritanian archer (Cart) is a mercenary. Currently it isn't in public mod. Do you feel it more a mercenary? Else could you provide us a blue version? And the same for the Judean slingers (Ptol). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
