Black Sands Vanilla
NOTE: YOU WILL NEED A MOD THAT UNLOCKS ALL FACTIONS TO PLAY AS THE AETHIOPIANS/AFRICANS
Black Sands Vanilla is a trimmed down version of my original mod made to run seamlessly with other mods out there that edit the vanilla units (People of Rome mod) and may not be appropriate for the units I created in the original Black Sands. This mod also makes the campaign more challenging, forcing you to work only with the vanilla rosters and a few units borrowed from neighboring factions. Details are below…
Aethiopian factions (Blemmyes, Meroe and Axum) get the following units added to their roster…
Egyptian Nubian Assault Ships
Egyptian Nubian Spearmen
Egyptian Nubian Bowmen
Egyptian Pikemen
Arab Camel Archers
African Elephants
African War Elephants (general unit)
African factions (Garamantia and Nasamones) get the following units added to their roster…
Citizen Militia
African Pikemen
Libyan Infantry
African Elephants
African War Elephants (general unit)
This mod also still includes the following campaign features…
Desert nomad temples
Desert nomad capital building
Modified Cursus Honorum (nomadic titles for Aethiopians and Africans)
Aethiopian model champions for all Desert Nomad culture factions
Modified Diplomatic effects for personality (reward for canceling satrapies/client states and client states like you)
Desert Nomad confederations (Horde of the Desert)
Eastern Settlement Options (Eastern cultures can now liberate, occupy, subjugate, loot and sack)
African-Arabian Auxiliaries (Aethiopians and Africans can recruit all auxiliaries around the map)
Good luck!
