Preview! New Mod: -~-Warrior Pharaoh-~-

that is true......
is there a program that u can use to crop maps?
or some way of doing it in the editor that i don't know about?
 
you can do it in the editor, or so i heard. not sure how though. one of thr F buttons i think. F8 maybe...
 
Press f12, then enter the co-ordinates that you want the map to start and end at. it is pretty straight forward. just make sure you put the x-coordinates in the x-boxes (:lol:), and the y-coordinates in the y-boxes, otherwise things get messy :)

this mod looks like it is going to be pretty good too :thumbsup:
 
thanks a bunch!
i'm in the editor now...
but i'm really thinking i may need to do something about nubia...
namely, making a different map all together :(
it's just so darn hard to get enough space vertical lol.
 
yeah.... there's fresh screenshots at the top of the thread.

right here

and Iron Beagle....Lonesome Dove is one of the best film series EVER! :D
 
Maybe you could find some use for the first era of this leaderhead i made:

i did check him out,
but u decided to use the one i did because your pharaoh has a really fancy headdress,
and i was trying to go for a bit of a simpler look for Ahmose, but he does look
really really awesome! i would have said so on your thread, but then StormRage would hurt me. lol ;)

<EDIT>
because he doesn't like my bumping ways....

utro... this will definitely be a scenario I'll play. Looks "simple", but your attention to detail is just impressive. Keep it up... :thumbsup:
 
Just realised I hadn't posted here yet. :D I would offer my help on the scenario, but I'm not much of an artist or animator, so I guess I'll just lurk and offer help anytime I see the need. The mod looks very interesting, the simplicity of the three nation situation will likely lead to some very interesting team ups. Are military alliances and Mutual Protection Pacts going to be activated in the mod?

BTW, have you read the book 'The Black Pharaoh' by Christian Jacq? It describes the time you're looking at in loads of detail.

Imagery of Ahmose wearing the War crown is decidely more appropriate, as your first page suggests. The headcloth of SoG's LH would be entirely more appropriate for the golden age of the 18th Dynasty.

utro, I hope in the opening sequences of your mod that you will mention the dramatic death of Pharaoh Seqehenre-Tah prior to the "opening shots" of the game. All indications were that he died in battle with the Hyksos scum. What a hero he was. . .
 
thanks for all the posts!
i was wondering if my tech icon contributions might help with my
"street cred" lol.

TopGun69: thank's for the observation, that's the idea i was going for!

Keroro: no i haven't, most of what i read are non-fiction history,
however this little chapter in history is generally covered by a layer of
thick fog, there's just so much we don't know, but i think i'll take a visit to
the library and check it out! thanks for the tip ;)!

COAtlantis1745: i see your well aware of this period of history!
i'm so glad, i think it's gonna those who have read up on this that will
really really get into it, and buddy....i'm waaaaaay ahead of ya! ;)

odintheking: yes, i will def be using some custom terrain. count on it.

i also would LOVE some suggestions on techs and units for this, the tech tree
is keeping me up at night! lol seriously nightmares :P having a troublesome
time working it all out. and suggestions on unique wonders, techs, or anything
else would really be appreciated!
 
okay....
here's what i have so far.
as you can see, there are many tech left to do, and many that
remain un-named. i could really use some suggestions :)

 
How about renaming Atenism to Sun Worship or Monotheism or something like that? Atenism just sounds strange, and remind me more of Athens than of Aten...
 
hmmmmm
i suppose i could do that....
yeah i'll re-name to Monotheism and explain things in the pedia ;)

also, keep in mind that these are just my custom techs/flavoured icons
there of course will be other things :P

i want this to be a Wonder Victory too, however, to build each of the
wonders (so far i have Obelisk, Great Library, Sphinx, Pyramid) will require
a certian resource (or two), the catch is that these resources are strategicly placed.

for instance, Nubia has "Nubian Gold", and the Lower Egypt has "Egyptian Insence",
and the Hyksos in the fertile Nile Delta have Plenty of Papyrus.

however, there will be other resources in the desert that must be found,
and colonies built (since there are no city building units ;)) in order to control
the resources. you can either win my teching full out, and diplomacy, or out
right warfare to capture an hold the resources.

the units are in, the leaderheads are in, the map is done, and the resources
are in the mod, all that remains is the tech tree, and then the required changes
to the pedia to make it all work.

it's getting close!
and keep the suggestions comming! :D
 
hey....
i was wondering if anyone had some ideas of a leaderhead/popHead that i could
use to make a "Scribe" specialist for my mod. i already have a modified leaderhead
in there for Priest of Amon-Ra, but would love a Scribe.

he should look kinda like this:

i mean, obviously detail is kinda hard with popHeads, but it'd be cool.

any ideas?
