Re: Unit changes/New unit implementation/3d and 2d unit graphics
Ok, guys. For unit integration in Alpha 0.3 you better start sending me the data. For completelly new units this should include the 4 3d meshes (CAS), the texture (DDS) and the unit data. For 3d and texture alterations just the CAS and DDS. For re-skins just the DDS.

Has anyone at all worked on the Scythian/Parthians/Sarmatians? I'm glad at all of this work, but their all not my kind of stuff. Sadly I can't modify things at all...

The liby-phoenicians look great! The shield shouldn't have the meander.

Re: Unit changes/New unit implementation/3d and 2d unit graphics
PROMETHEUS: They are not right as you made them and I'd appreciate it if you'd take the advice of people here who are actual historians and who have a command of primary source literature. If we have to fight with you tooth and nail to get units to look right it gets kinda frustrating. Carthaginians and their armies wore WHITE tunics, not black or red or green with yellow polka dots. Their shields are fine except for the meander pattern. Opsrey takes creative license, as do many who do these things. They are capable of making mistakes. Osprey plates are not gospel evidence. In Livy's Latin the Carthaginian armies are said to have white tunics. In Polybius's Greek they are said to wear white tunics. Primary sources always trump artistic renderings, however nice they are. BTW I have the osprey book that you're refering to, and the plate. You took creative license with the shield. It would not have the meander, but the rest of it looks fine.
I appreciate your skill, as does everyone here, but please stop being hard headed and listen to the input of others. We're working together here.

Re: Unit changes/New unit implementation/3d and 2d unit graphics
I listen to objections otherwise I wouldn't post previews , but ... those are Chartaginian mercenaries not really carthaginian troops so they retained their original dresses , also about the shioeld half moon since I guessed this is a symbol of Carthage i placed on the shield too would take few to paint it , the motiph adds variance to the shield , suggest aniother one if u like but without it the shield would look empty ....I think also that the colors be darker adds realism to the whole and making them more colourfull would make them stick out of all the others and look more plastic and unreal ..... bright colours never exhisted in nature....
You don't have to fight for this , but since I have to listen to others people too I have to get a compromize , there are severall historians may be here , all with different opinins , me as well included this doesn't mean that me , you or someone else is right ,listening to ancient fonts is right , but sometimes as always they have many contraddictions so is better to rely on a media of opinions than on a single one....that is why befoure changing anything I want discussion and have severall opinions...since I may be wronga, but you as well...If we have to fight with you tooth and nail to get units to look right it gets kinda frustrating. Carthaginians and their armies wore WHITE tunics,

The pattern on the rim of the shield design. The greek meander pattern.

Re: Unit changes/New unit implementation/3d and 2d unit graphics
Agreed. Not just the pajama guys, also the poor Scythians. In fact, they should all look pretty similar: very colorful kaftas, long black brown or blond hair, with either a Scythian cap or with a colorful "bandana". Baggy, colorful pants (not matching the kaftan). It will be a bitch to do the hair, but the kaftan shouldn't be that hard to do... just really recoulour the Parthian jacket. And the pants as well, but with changes.Not yet. We'll get there. I'm pretty anxious because of those horse archers ridiculous look.
Then theirs the heavy cavalry...
