Ethnicae - Mac / PC compatible Mod

[coffee junkie]

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 .

 

[NotSoGood]

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

 

[coffee junkie]

Here are updated India units

Spoiler :

I plan to create a new India explorer quite soon

 

[coffee junkie]

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 ...

Spoiler :

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 ...

 

[The Capo]

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?

 

[coffee junkie]

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.

 

[coffee junkie]

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 :

Spoiler :

And here are the pictures of Khmer units :

Spoiler :

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 !

 

[The_J]

[...] look incredible, great work .

again.

 

[mamba]

Great update!

 

[Xyth]

Damn!! This is a truly awesome selection of units CJ, thank you so much!

 

[coffee junkie]

again.

Thank you The J ! very impressive, very ... minimalistic ! I like that really

Thanks too Xyth and Mamba

Next pictures : some mounted units

 

[coffee junkie]

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 ...

Spoiler :

I'm not very satisfied with this one and will work on it to get a better result ...

Models I tried to follow :

Voilà ... enough pictures for now !

 

[flying toaster]

Wow !

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

 

[coffee junkie]

Thanks Flying Toaster very kind.

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

 

[The_J]

I think i have to repeat myself....

 

[cybrxkhan]

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.
