Scourge of the Desert: Desert reskin overhaul

Welcome to my most ambitious project as of yet. This is a complete reskin overhaul of all desert factions in the game, which includes Aksum, Tanukhids, Himyar, and Garamantes.

Desert factions have a special place in my heart and I love playing as them and against them. However, few mods provide a dedicated and wellmade reskin of them. This is my attempt at changing that.

This mod focuses on providing a realistic and unique look to the desert factions with a wide variety in clothing, uniforms and equipment. I have taken a lot of Rome Total War II meshes in an attempt to really flesh out desert, Arabic and north African culture.

I have reskined all land units, some naval units, officers, factions leaders and some generals. The parts that haven’t been reskinned are most Eastern units, officers, and generals tied to the Sassanids and other eastern factions. I intend to complete them in the future with a Sassanid reskin.

My other mods Dux Bellorum and Revenge of Persia is nescessary for this mod.

My mod is heavily contingent on the work of others. Here’s links to the original mods from where I have borrowed materials.
