I have a question concerning the specific shield types in the pieces in the strategic map:

-The Kite Shield image is associated with Christian factions.
-The Oval Shield image with Muslim and Pagan units.

My doubt concerns this: In SuperMOD, BKB has introduced several new factions. Most are Christian, but one is Muslim (Almoravids) and another Pagan (Cumans). However, although their culture is defined as Muslim and Pagan, the shields they show in their units are of the Kite Shield type. How do I change the definitions of the MOD to enable these factions to show the Oval Shield image?

Thank you for your answers... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

Interesting, maybe it slipped through and he will correct it.

This is the default directory for the muslim shields.

The mod may have them in a sub directory , but that
sub dir must be in the default folder .

If the shields are made for the mod and only one set was made , then it won't work as the graphic for the shield must be round .

I presume this is the problem and nothing can be done apart form make round ones .
So learn to draw circles or ask someone to do it .

OK. Good to know. I have no problem making any kind of shield using Photoshop. So, my only concern is to get the .bmp to .bif without the blasted errors that ReadBif makes... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif
