And now (2016) we have new samples:

I tried to fix the way nubian cavalrymen are holding their shield but I screwed up the model @xeofox can you fix this? My model is basically the Nubian infantry model with an inverted spear so it can use a different animation.

It`s problem with Skin modify (bones) i can`t fix it! 
Looks like my work (model from zero) after export to CAS!

[H]

In the line (stoppers) - I changed the name of the variables (change "H" to "X") Horde=Xorde. If you delete something - EXE file crash (need to just change)
Now engine haven`t stoppers. Becouse it`s try to find new variables for stop.


Alx (non STEAM only) - work!
After add code to saka (descr_sm_factions):

No error for descr_sm_factions, but some problem with slave:

Code Select Expand


ownership        slave, gauls, ge....


slave can`t be owners?
I think first step is good! But what to do next?
For slave need some code from BI?

This thrid lot time emty also!
Ok. I am stressed! Problems with real work now! Few days i will be in excavation of wusun burial (i hate wusun burials). This work without
payment. It is my duty to save the cultural heritage. If you want to then I'll post a photos.
At the heart sucks. Health is not the best. The work is not.
Many people came to forum, but few people do something. I suggest to make RTR pages in social networks FB VK(rus). Can bee news and screenshots.
And now music from my soul:

Good idea!

So how do we get it to work

...need to try edit the EXE file, but I think this is illegal

Today i found the answer! The alx engine can use horde but...

BI used it in descr_sm_factions.

One more simple way.
For nomads we can make renaming and change image + icon.
It will be two or few levels of simple building. First level we can call "Yurt" second "house".
For example:
1 Lv. Yurt of smith.
2 Lv. House of smith.

?

Hording is not possible in our mod sadly :/

Let`s Some events at start?

If nomads start in game with cities we can:
Event window " Welcome to Seminomadism time. Bigest part of Nomads army in stepee but have few cities" etc
or two Event window "you captured the city..." chigu and kasia )
Maybe try to make a revolt in the cities at first turn for show the step from nomadism to seminomadsism by  capture.

or more simple:
