DogSoldierSPQR Presents New Sassanid Campaign Colours!

Alternate Sassanid Colours

Hi, everyone. This is not a major issue but it was something that was bugging me. The Sassanids had, in my opinion, a very ugly yellowy colour that represented them on the campaign map. It just didn't sit well with me. If one person thinks it, then there's gotta be others too. With that in mind, I went about changing it to maybe help someone else out as well.
Initially I wanted to go with Grey, but I figured multiple choice is always best, right?
So I present you a few colours to pick from. Simply download, pick the one you want and run it using Mitch's mod manager.
Things to note: Any mod out there which changes faction colours or faction uniforms will require you to put this in a higher priority than those mods using Mitch's Mod Manager.
The download consists of one zip file which contains all colours. Extract and pick the one you want. Enjoy

I like the brick red best. Can you change the emblam so that instead of a yelloish background it's completely black and the picture is golden? Like the gyan avspar's shield.

Is this compatible with the Sassaind reskin mod and the ones I have downloaded? Does this make any changes to unit colours?

Changed the emblem to this but the dds files remain unchanged as i don't have the right program to change it. Anyway if interested in the file let me know.

Please send me that file.

Ive recolored the Sassanid faction colors to be black so i think it'll look really really awesome with your logo:

Agreed. Bookmarked for update (Black clothes, new icon, brick red colors = the best)

Completely save-game compatible, and indeed Mitch has

I'm going to be having a play around with the emblem to see what I can do. Just in case you'd find this helpful, if you have a program like GIMP and find the .dds addon from the internet, you can edit .dds files. It's how I did it. Handy bit of kit to have since it would help you do shield patterns and textures on units.

It won't touch units directly. Since this is in the same db file as the faction colour themes for units, this won't be compatible, I'm afraid. However, if you open up the mod with the PFM, you can take my values and insert them into your own custom one and get the best of both.

I'll be having a look at what you've done and seeing what kind of things I could make. I'll have to refresh my memory on how to get the .dds stuff going but I'll be looking to get some icons and colour combinations going for you guys. Thank you for this icon, mate.
