Ethnicae - Mac / PC compatible Mod

As previously said, I used the meshes of the fantastic Berber units from Bakuel to make some other units ( khmer and ottoman mostly )

So, credits go to him for these !!!

I only texturized some of them and worked on the faces to get these units



-

And of course, I can't resist to put some pictures of the really great Bakuel Berber units I use for Arabia civilization !!!



-

The arabs, ottomans and hindi look incredible, great work .

Those units are awesome! I love you!
Great job!

Here are updated India units



I plan to create a new India explorer quite soon

Here are the Sumer units. Of course you will recognize the great units from Bakuel

In addition, I worked on Nifskope to get the classic sumer head on some game units and I'm quite happy to have successed it for some of them so, a special thanks to Ambrox who gave me advices and a file I study enough to understand some stuff about heads in Nifskope ! The fantastic 3 men chariot comes from his ages units !

Related to the Sumer crossbowman, you'll notice I used a chokonu weapon : my mistake ... I did it as a test and forgot it until now ... So, the crossbow will be placed instead in the next update but I'm quite proud anyway of this unit !

About the archer, as I was not satisfied with models around, I finally decided to work on the Skirmisher model to get a Sumer javeliner instead of a classic archer ...



Same thing about Persia units ... In addition of Bakuel ones, based mostly on Oromo warrior ( except the horseman ), I made somes with the Peltast head

The pikeman shield is from Bakuel.

I'm not a specialist of weapons but I currenly studying shields in history and hope create my owns. I began with some Africa ones. A work in progress so

About how you said you were fed up with Louis XIIII so you added Louis XIV - they're the same guy. 14th and 14th.

Hi Jarlaxe Baenre,

I always appreciate when someone point to me one of my mistake because It's true I'm known as a nimbus fellow

But in this case, I'm afraid you're wrong yourself ...

1) do you wear some glasses and forgot them ?
2) what time is it in your part of the world ? very late maybe ...

No offense, it's just a joke but the exact sentence which is written in the first post is :

" One for France ( fed up with Napoleon and Louis XIV ) : Louis XIII "



pity for me you didn't write a comment about the mod and/or units ...

Holy man! Those units look awesome! Has this been updated yet, and if so do you mind if I ripped some of them off?

Also is that persian warrior teamcolored?

Okeeeeee ... some pictures are coming again in next posts

Don't come to complain there are too much pictures since we all know many of us don't read all threads !

Joke apart, I'd like to precise 2 little things :

1 - Sorry if some screenshots are posted in double : I will correct asap

2 - Even it's written in the title this Mod is Macintosh compatible, it doesn't mean it's only for Mac !

AVIS : Fellow Civ boys and girls : this mod is working 100% on any PC !

Thank you ...

Man, you can do whatever you want with these units for sure ! I love working on my mod but I don't do units just for the mod but for all Civ community

Thank you for your comment and happy rip !

Yes : the update is online now.

About the persian warrior : not really team coloured. He suits greeny stuff and Sumer one suits red stuff. That's the only difference I'm afraid.

As I previously said in a far far away post I used the wizard Bakuel Berber meshes to create too some of the Khmer and Korea units ...

Here are the pictures of Korea units :




And here are the pictures of Khmer units :



I'm not a huge fan of the traditional conic hat for military units but for instance, it gives to the units of my mod a diversity which suits the goal.

I begin to study with a fellow 3D meshes on a 3D software and my goal is to create some new meshes for Asia units ( for example ) and of course, mess all this in Nifskope

So, a sloooooooow work in progress indeed !

Next pictures : some mounted units

Here are some mounted units. Except some of them which were a complete work ( both unit and horse ), it's mostly a work on horses and horses robe to render more impressive knights and more accurate cuirassier/horseman horses ... Sometimes, it's just a detail like head or helmet ... Well, hope you'll like them !

This is a work in progress and an unfinished job since I didn't work on ALL horses, knights, cuirassiers, horsemen, etc ... My apologizes, it will be done on Ethnic Mix More next update !




The model is Danrell one. I just redraw the textures of the knight and create a 256x256 texture for the horse and robe ...




The mesh is Bakuel one ( Berber ). I just redraw the textures of the knight and create a 256x256 texture for the horse and robe ... Then, I put a new head in Nifskope ...




For this one, I just put a head on the body knight who comes from the great 3 Kingdoms mod.




The mesh is Bakuel one ( Berber ). I just redraw the textures of the knight and create a 256x256 texture for the horse and robe ... Then, I put a new head in Nifskope and add turban and beard to this head ... The conic red hat is the one used for modern ottoman units in a bigger size. I wish I could do it bigger like in this picture but not enough 3D ability to create a new one.



In future update maybe !




The model is Danrell one. I just create a 256x256 texture for the horse and robe ...




I just create a 256x256 texture for the horse and robe ... and for the shield. The shield one is temporary, I want first make some research on this kind of knight and find suitable heraldic instead of the tartan texture ...




I did nothing on this except a head replacement in Nifskope : both come from The 3 Kingdoms mod.




Just replace the shield and create a 256x256 texture for the horse and robe. the Teutonic cross is too on the robe ( not so visible on the picture )




Nothing except the horse color and texture ...




A more complete job for the India knight both on unit and horse. I searching to render the beauty of such unit in these times ... Maybe one of the unit I prefer !




All parts of this unit come from The 3 Kingdoms mod. I only created a new texture for the helmet, based on this picture :



and I find the result not too bad ...




Only a texture for the horse robe ! no more ...




Nothing to do on this fantastic Berber unit from Bakuel except the horse ( both color and new 256 texture to make the knight more visible !




New texture ( real kimono textile ), new head, new horse, all in 256x256 to render the details more accurate ...




Bakuel body mesh, I only replaced the head ( the one I already worked on for my Viking axeman ) to make a more sensible difference between the knight and the horseman and a new horse in 256x256




Bakuel body mesh ( Berber one ), make a new texture for it, replaced the head and added turban and sho and a new horse in 256x256


At last, some ethnic diversity cuirassiers to replace the one from the game I don't like very much ...





Models I tried to follow :




Voilà ... enough pictures for now !

Wow !

I'm downloading it, can't wait to try it.
Now, which civ will I choose ?

Thanks Flying Toaster very kind.

About the choice for your Civ games, try all of them !

I think i have to repeat myself....

Hey, Coffie Junkie, can you put your picutres into spoilers next time? That way it won't take my dingy old laptop a minute to load up all the pictures at once.
