Boreas,

Many of the things you mention already exist in the graphics and units sections.

Nov 12, 2004, 07:31 PM
yea, i know...
but half of those things have small diferences from what's been done already

I also need these graphics:
mastaba(building)
valley temple(wonder)
Narmer's Palette(wonder)

If you need something different of what been done, you've better had to say what.
There are 3 elephant archer, 1 or 2 egyptian city graphics, a bunch of camel unit & ressources, ect. Be more precise.

Bóreas
Nov 13, 2004, 04:55 AM
the camel, elephant and egyptean city graphics are found
about the other units, i'll probably be needing to post pictures, which may take a while...

it just hit me that i'll be needing a map (and that i have none) so i was thinking if someone would be kind enough to make me one
This is somewhat what i want: (but you should expand it since i need the nile to be large so that the ships can sail on it)

There is a map of Egypt but I'm not sure it's the one you seek.

Bóreas
Nov 13, 2004, 07:56 AM
i've seen a couple of them
neither of them fit what i want like i want it, so...

I'm gonna be needing specific city graphics for the nubians(kush), to help out i've got a good description from a historical website:
1st period:
town: medium sized round houses with conical roofs
city: same thing but with one large round house
metropolis: medium sized round house, a large community round house, and very small round houses used as pen for young animals.
wall: a brown looking fence
2nd period:
town: mud plastered round houses
city: the same houses with a couple square buildings used as deposit
metropolis: same as the city but with a religious looking community house
wall: egyptian looking wall

i haven't gathered much information on the later periods so you are free to just put them as you want, that is IF anyone wants to do this...

this is a valid unit request, i'm sure this unit hasn't been made..
anyway, i've got a picture, as you can see:
They're the Medjay Militia, nubian sword/bowman that amassed the egyptian and kush army

Supa
Nov 14, 2004, 10:19 AM
In fact, there is a Medjay Spearman that may interest you. But no archer/swordsman.

composite bowman(a archer with antelope horns glued as a bow, not sure...)

I can't remember your timeline for this scenario, but the composite bow, as developed in the middle east was maybe 2000 B.C.E. Is that too late for your timeline? If the Egyptian bow was based on the Persian composite, it would have been a very time-consuming process (using a sinew and a glue process that lasted at least 2 months). In other words, it would be very expensive to produce and should be reflected in the unit cost.

Bóreas
Nov 14, 2004, 05:44 PM
the timeline goes from 3500bc to roughly 500 bc, the end of native ruled egypt
so you can say that would be inside the timeline
and yes, they should cost at least 30 shields(egypt did have hundreds of them so they cant be too expensive...)

Nov 14, 2004, 08:07 PM
ok ppl, i need new resources:
copper
turquoise

Bóreas
Nov 14, 2004, 10:30 PM
just scratch the last request, what i need is these units:
egyptian slinger
militia(like the one from AoK but with less clothing and less beard...)

Bóreas
Nov 15, 2004, 07:25 PM

Bóreas
Nov 16, 2004, 02:31 PM

-papyrus
-limestone

looks great, i'll definetly be using that one
but i still need the warship to balance the phoenician navy with the egyptian navy

Bóreas
Nov 18, 2004, 03:13 PM
i REALLY, REALLY need the warship...
is someone interested on doing it?

aaglo
Nov 18, 2004, 03:24 PM
I'm doing a modification (requested by flamescreen) of my phoenician bireme. have you considered of using the firaxis galley (or one of the several modifications of that ship)? Or some other ancient warships (for example Smoking mirror's war galley? or mine roman or greek trireme?)

Bóreas
Nov 18, 2004, 03:51 PM
have you seen the picture of the warship?
it's really different from any boat...

aaglo
Nov 19, 2004, 12:30 AM
Do you mean that ships6.jpg -picture you posted in post #21?
That indeed looks odd. I mean, come on - no sails?! I'm almost convinced that it must have had atleast some sort of sails.

I could take a closer look at it, but that sidewiev picture is not very helpful nor revealing... :( ... :) :mischief:

Bóreas
Nov 19, 2004, 10:00 AM
it had five lines of rows, it was a quinquireme, i dont think it needed sails...
about the picture
maybe this one would help out:

Bóreas
Nov 22, 2004, 05:55 PM
this is another ship i need
this time its for the egyptians, the siege ship
BTW, can someone point me to a trireme i can use for egypt as well?

Very cool pic. The unit Aaglo is making for me, is Minoan basicaly, but if you can ignore the emblem in it(but Egypt used it as well at one point or another), you can use it circa 1000b.c. i think.

Bóreas
Nov 23, 2004, 04:46 PM
thanx flamescreen
@Aaglo: i have those units already, but, as you can remember, i asked for a trireme
and neither of those fit the description

Bóreas
Nov 24, 2004, 04:24 PM
still need some ships, but this is the last phoenician one
this is a phoenician merchant ship

Bóreas
Nov 25, 2004, 03:28 AM

this is what i need:
Great One Taharqa of Nubia
King Menes of Upper Egypt
Princess Nithotep of Lower Egypt

thanx in advance

You have some great looking pics there, Boreas.
I hope you'll find some unit makers to turn them. But also, look in Kinboats and Steph's threads. Some of the units you want seem to have been made.

Also, in the Pharaoh's cavalry pic, it seems there are some Mycenaean merceneries as well. I'll be doing some, hopefully next year. I doubt you can wait that long, but it's good to have reference since I wanna make them.(The pic tells me that it's possible the helmets were protecting with boar tusk will covered with copper which is awesome info)

Steph has 56 ancient units. I'm sure you'll find some you want there. Search the Unit Library too. There are many Nubian and other units there.

For C3C Firaxis already included a phoenicean soldier that fits what you want(unless you want a swordsman, it's a spearman for them).

Bóreas
Nov 28, 2004, 05:18 PM
steph's egyptian units would be a variation to the units i already have, made by kinboat.
i still have to search apolyton , CDG and even the C3C conquest units, so you can say a few of my requests will be foolish

this is the egyptian standard bearer
could work as a attack unit or an army, but im thinking of a third option

Bóreas

this is the egyptian general:

this is a cananean soldier
but i plan on using it as a barbarian(if it gets made)

Hi Bóreas.
I haven't read through this entire thread, so I am wondering if you are still in need of some of the things you have asked for.
I'm already working on your Nubian cities, but if you want, I could also make the other ones for you and / or alter some cities I've already made to fit the eras in your scenario (btw, how many eras do you have, and what are they?)

As well, if you don't already have one, I'm interested in doing that mastaba. (Again, that is if you don't mind.) It would be my first building, but I could give it a shot.

What do you think?
