Total War: PHARAOH DYNASTIES

historical local gods as factions' crest

Nubia & Kush
Kushite crests are planned to rotate to resemble shield shape like following (idea & template credit to Kendji):

other Kushite factions' crest shape will be updated later.
i've modded Buhen to Horus' cult centre in "historical cult centre" mod for historical accuracy, hence Buhen's crest is now a falcon, will be changed to Kushite shield shape later.


original text from months ago:

many of them worship Amun so i would ignore that, as we have enough ram crests already.
from North to South:

Miam [???]
Hippo.
Miam is the most northern faction in Nubia; its northern boarder lies Swenett, named after Taweret.

Buhen [Horus]
either the eagle from Egypt, or a Hieracosphinx.

Amenmesse [Amun]

Kerma [Amun]
i initially thought its Moloch

but after months of research,
i found out its the following:

Kawa [Amun]
this is its default logo, nubian head from kerma:

Kawa becomes Anubis' in-game cult centre, so its getting Buhen's original logo.

Napata [Amun]
i dunno what the default logo is, Aphrodite? might shift that to Aphrodite's cult centre in Troad.
Napata is now lead by Memnon, his logo from previous game was a lion, i could use that, considering there is a lion headed nubian god, Apedemak, however it looks quite Greek.
with the Kushite head (from Kawa) represent Kush most, giving it to Memnon seems a suitable option.
