Uniform Syracuse: Faction Reskin for Divide et Impera
This is my personal faction reskin of Syrakousai (Syracuse) for Divide et Impera 1.2 and higher (compatible indefinitely until the DeI team further reskins the faction). Grand Campaign and HatG campaigns only, not RotR.
The overall goal – however ahistorical it may be – is to give the troops of Syracuse a more uniform, professional look with more emphasis put on their faction colour, especially on shields, via three shield retextures intermixed with existing DeI assets.
This varies with unit quality: 3rd class units have lower quality and unpainted shields, while the Phroura Tyrannou instead have distinctive red and black patterns to reflect their elite status.
It also entirely removes all Italo-Corinthians, because I irrationally dislike them and venture no further justification, and features a greater prevalence of other Hellenic and Italic helmet styles instead.
This mod reskins the following units:
– Gastraphetes
– Samnitai Xiphophoroi
– Sikeliotai Ekdromoi Hoplitai
– Epistratoi Hoplitai
– Phroura Tyrannou
– Sikeliotai Hoplitai
– Sikelioi Machairaphoroi
– Sikeliotai Phraktoi Peltastai
– Sikeliotai Thorakitai
– Thureophoroi
Lastly, at present the mod replaces that one Ekdromoi Hoplitai salmon-and-mustard-coloured polka dot shield pattern, which I abominate, with a recoloured version across ALL Hellenic factions’ Ekdromoi units that use it. Let me know if this bothers you and I can make it separate.
