Uniform Syracuse: Faction Reskin for Divide et Impera

Description
This is my personal faction reskin of Syrakousai (Syracuse) for Divide et Impera 1.3.3a 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.

The DLC unlocks the faction for the DLC campaign and the grand campaign, but you still need to have it either way.

Yes but on the site of DEI they say that the faction is available also in the great campaign

It's part of the Hannibal at the Gates DLC, so you'd need to buy it to be able to play them!

guys how can I play Syracuse? I've downloaded DEI but I can' choose Syracuse

Incredible, thank you so much. I've started many DEI campaigns over the years and always abandon them early because the entire mod evokes the visual stimulation of a potato. My personal opinion is the mod is mechanically brilliant and visually draining. I strongly dislike every faction being a mess of beige and brown that is more or less indistinguishable in battle.

I considered re skinning the every unit myself however I had not the time or motivation to undertake such a task.

Super work. Really gives an identity to Syracuse.

Thanks! I haven't given any thought to other factions, but I can't rule it out. Let's see whether I'm struck by inspiration in my current Epirus playthrough...
