Do you mean they do this on purpose? I also have problems to reach TWC from time to time so it must be hard and frustrating for people like you and BB.
I have al the pics in tga.file and transparent mode. Tested them in game and were looking good. They only don't have the correctnames yet.
Can post them if you want but without the correct name.

These pictures are huge improvement over the hotchpotch collection that is in the mod right now! No offense Liz!
Really nice! WP
I do have an input on the direction of the model, Parthian Shot used to want to save time and she had the model facing away with the back towards the player, so
- the shield does not have to be re-done and therefore one model for a faction can then be used by all the factions deploying the same unit.
- the horse saddle can be minimized so one unit picture can be used by different factions to save time.
With the shield facing towards the player, now every faction would need different snapshot for the shield, or adding the shield from the model texture to the picture.
I am not sure if I describes this correctly.

No problem, Cel. I think you are right about the result. The context was different, however, I was trying to do something no one wants to do. And I need to do it in the most time efficient manner. So I chose the back facing method to save the time.
WP, on the other hand, clearly wants to unit cards to be identifiable, be it the battle/recruitment tile or the info tile. And this is better, but you are right about the shield, that would need to be re-imported from the screen snapshot because even though the units model are the same, the shields are different. And I don't know an easy way to port them from the texture file.
Wheelie,
I forgot to mention that if you have not thrown away your screen captures for the unit tiles, you might want to post them here
http://www.moddb.com/mods/amazons-to...u-if1#imagebox
Because hopefully these are screens, or partial screens, with no frontal nudity, you might still add an 18+ warning just in case but they do show what the models look like.
Here is the work in progress list for unit tiles, because BB has no automated test against this. I have to do the preliminary comparison.
factionalization
Campanion Cavalry, for Thyssa, Amazonia, Libya
Heavy Peltast
Peltast
Arbalist Light Cavalry
Amazon Archers
amazon general bodyguard
amazon general bodyguard early
amazon sword
Only the amazon militia hoplite unit needs to have the new shield.
Unable to find the following, could be missing from my wishlist
Amazon Cavalry
Sarmatian Virgin Horse Archers, the non-longbow model
Sarmatian Virgin Cavalry
Also need
caro ballistae for all the factions that can recruit such units

The new update incorporating the newest unit tiles are now available for download at ModDB.
All hail Wheelie Paul! our newest modding member.
Nice Work, WP!
Congrats! Always knew you have what it takes!
Superb! Wheelie
I was pulled away by Lizzie to work on other things, and when I came back I can hardly believe my eyes.
And knowing that you just started to learn the graphic software makes the feat even more impressive!
Thank you girls
Finished the sarmatian virgin horse archers and virgin cavalry. Next will be the caro ballistae, thyssa footcomp. amanzon and thyssa plubatarii cohort and the thyssa round shield plumbatarii cavalry.
I just checked some INFO cards in the game and some have a black background (amazon peltast and militia hoplite). I put the same cards in my game and they
were transparant
Here are the latest not finished yet with the caro ballistae but post the first 3 of them
new unit cards 18+ warning

Liz,
Can I transfer the fixes for the regional heritage bugs to the test server?

Hi, just moved to the new site. Used to be called totalwar1402 on Total war center forums.
Anyway, Parthian mentioned that you were thinking of moving to another system, either med 2 or Rome 2. Has there been any info about the modibility of Rome 2? Shogun took forever from what I remember. Plus, has there been any hint that female units will be in the vanilla game? This, basically made modding Amazons into the game a lot easier. On the one hand they did this on a pretty thin pretext in Shogun 2 with the Onna Bushi but I don't know if we'll see Screeching Women and pseudo Amazons like the Head Hunting Maidens for any Scythian dlc factions. The Themiskyra easter egg would be cool if they did that again.
We actually already finished porting models for M2TW, still need to work on the rest like map and script re-write. The current script is written to circumvent the RTW's script interpreter bugs.
I made some Rome II comments in answering your other post.
