Here, there, everywhere
I'm gonna be needing some material for my new scenario about egypt
there ain't gonna be pictures for now since i haven't found any yet
units:
-egyptian solar boat(just a striped sail boat)
-composite bowman(a archer with antelope horns glued as a bow, not sure...)
-camel cavalry
-elephant archer
- King Menes(a warrior-king, more like a hero unit, i should be posting his pic soon)

resources:
-"papiro" - not sure how it spells in english
-camel

city graphics:
-egyptian
-nubian
-phoenician
-cananean
 
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.
 
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)

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

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.
 
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...)
 
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...)
