Minor modding question (militia hoplites for Egypt)

**Laman** · 10-25-2005, 18:49

I have given Egypt Militia Hoplites (planning to mod them more extensively later in a plan to make them more acceptable), and it works good but for one thing. The unitcard picture (and information scroll picture) are that of a roman/greek peasant with black clothes. How to make the game use the one for the Militia Hoplites? And if I would want them to use the Egyptian colors (currently using the same as the Greek Cities) what would I need to do for that?

And while I'm asking is there any way for romans to remove Senates tab & Display Senate offices button, except changing their culture?

Unit cards, read this:

Specifically, step 4 - adding unit cards

You can find the right unit card in the UI.pak file, and there's a link in that post that tells you how to unpak it.

Lofman I am guessing you are new to modding. You need a fairly modern version of Photoshop or a similar program to change units appearance and skin cards. If you want I could make these hoplites and a few other units for your mod.

I've already made unit icons for egyptian:

Militia Hoplites
Levy Pikemen
Phalanx Pikemen
Greek Cavalry
Militia Cavalry
Companion Cavalry
Balista
Archers
Peltasts
Elephants (Actually, not quite done yet)
War Elephants

Ive modded my game so that they resemble the other factions, basicly. Also added a few units to their army. The skins are also all ready to go, but still no sprites. Anyone know how to generate those?
