- change Rome's campaign description name from SENATVS POPVLVSQVE·ROMANVS to Res Publica Romana
- enable Armen to recruit fire jar carriage ballista per BB's recommendation.
- Celeste has also changed text for unit description to re-write Amazon light units, which were a great deal of typos and copy-paste errors.
- Libyan horde cavalry now uses mano-ballista instead of javelin.
Will post when upload is ready.

Like Wheelie mentioned earlier, this mod file is up on the ModDB and ready for download.
Please check the OP for the access.

Couple things in game though, fighting rebels around western Africa and Iberia all have the Carthage flag (banners) despite being spawned rebels and not Carthaginians turned rebels. And when fighting in central Iberia I couldn't help notice that the Stone Henge was there =P does Iberia and Britannia use the same maps or something?
And something unrelated to the mod, is there a safe way of switching from the game to the desktop/internet? I always use Alt-Tab but for Rome it can make it very hard to return to the game, like it refuses to load sometimes.

The Stonehenge in Iberia is normal. Because that is not a landmark, rather, it is the Celt's gathering. The northern Spain has great Celtic heritage, so it has been in the mod since the beginning.

Sorry, it was the Peasants, almost all rebel armies were made up of Mercenary [forgot name, scutari?] and 1 Peasant Unit as it's general, was weirdWe need to have the units which has the carthaginian standard to fix it.

New Amazons Total War file with new interface is being uploaded right now.
The new UI completely discards the external utility in favor of internal campaign menu.
The new UI completely discards the external utility in favor of internal campaign menu.
The upload has been completed.
The changes carries out my new User Interface concept, which is implemented by Celeste (Cel SB).
The ideas being to discard the external user interface entirely and use the internal campaign interface instead.
Now we have multiple choice of campaigns to choose from.
This is to implement Wheelie Paul's idea of allowing options for campaign.
Type 1 will destroy the Summoned Amazon faction, thus makes campaign easier.
Type 2 will leave the Summoned Amazon faction, and make the campaign more difficult.
At the same time, the completion of a Quest will still allow the player to recruit advanced tech units and collect prize as well.
This change will replace the auto-gen script for now.

finally I understand how to create the unitcards. I told Dragour I start with the Scythia/Seleucids and Gaul factions. I believe the barb_charriots need a make over so I will create also a new one for them. Sometimes I can't choose which pic so I will create 2 of them. I will post them when ready.
Here's the first Scythian unit.

Looks very good.
Just a quick FYI, in the actual unit card for recruiting and battle, the whole of the smaller tile needs to move over to the right by a few pixels.
Because the top left, and top right are reserved for unit status.

Just my personal opinion, I think the unit cards are the best I have seen contributed, and we must have seen a few hundrend contributions so far.
The picture is derived from the actual model, so there is spherical "distortion" when mapped from 3D to 2D. Meaning if you can rotate the tile to make it upright, I think it will look even better.
But as it is right now, it is already amazingly clear and easy to identify.

Here are the cards I made today. Sometimes it's difficult to find them like the new Scythian hunting-maidens. So some of these pictures haven't the proper name.Wheelie,

I needed sometime to learn the trick but now i found out i can make them a lot faster. All tips are welcome and will try to improve them
Dragour, next factions for me will be egypt/britons/germans

I see what BB is saying about the 3D to 2D projection, your latest unit tiles are right on!Dragour, next factions for me will be egypt/britons/germans
Not sure if this is an error or not, but are Pantheons suppose to take 64 turns to build?
As Libyan Amazons in Carthage (and pretty much all Africa and Iberia) the pantheon to Camilla costs around 23,000 and takes 64 turns. I understand that it's a huge temple but seriously, every other massive structure (including epic walls!) probably doesn't add up to this =P

Just noticed that with the Libyan Amazon, their third tier barracks removes their Desert Infantry until you upgrade again

Here are the first units cards for amazonia. Some of the swordswomen need to move to the right if you choose that pic.

Oh, I think this looks marvelous!
The militia archer looks so real in so few pixels.
It would look better if it is rotated more upright.

The amazon grenadiers and plumbatarii cohorts don't have a visible first (darts) weapon. So it looks if they don't have a weapon until you got them into a close combat then they draw swords. So i haven't make unitcards for these units. Of course when their appearance should be without a vissible first weapon I will make their unitcards.
WP,
Your planning is so detailed and thorough. No wonder your work really shined through.

The new upload is now available, URL is in the OP.
