We could really use some help with adding in Tzar's new building cards. If you are interesting and you know how please give me or any other team member a pm
(preferable me/Tone/Dvk901). Thanks.

[King Nud]

I'm leaving the team due to ridiculously annoyi g RL issues that could take a while to resolve. Any people willing to take over as a beta tester apply now please thank you.

You mean coding them in-game ?

[apple]

Yeah, Tone has actually started doing this himself, but I'm sure that he would welcome some help.

I would join , but i'm in the middle of a most boring job for Sparta 3.5 .. You know , coding in armies for all rebel settlements (100+ settlements -_-")

But perhaps afterwards i'd be glad to help out !

Thanks, just send me a pm when you get some free time then.

OK, so this is the first time I ever post on this forum. I've been doing modding of nearly every aspect of the game for my own use (3d models in 3ds max, scripting, unit modification, some building modification in 3d map, adding of wonders to settlement plans, unit cards, etc). I am impressed by the high quality of this mod and thought that if you are interested in a little help, I could try to see if I can meet your standards. Attached to this message is a sample of the units designed as my hobby. Some of the models are derived from standard rtw ones with additions for helmets, bells for elephants, etc, others are derived from other mods ( mostly eb ) and modified with new skins and 3d model attachments where required.

I've also made some unit cards for ships based on 3d renders.

I look forward to the release of your mod, keep up the good work!

[Tesla]

looks good

[tone]

See my PM

[Ballacraine]

Very nice work, MihaiV

[Theoroshia]

Is this still open? I'd be interested in helping out with either 2D stuff or, if needed, coding. I've 4 years experience using Java, and I've doodled around enough with Photoshop to know how to use it and whatnot.

[tone]

Yes it is - in fact MihaiV (above) has just joined the team to work on various things. Could you PM me with some examples of stuff you've done please?

[Theoroshia]

Well, all the coding I do have are all for the company I work for, and it's not like I could submit that as an example. Graphics wise, I really don't have anything on hand, as it's more of a hobby than a career. I could maybe cobble together a UI for, say, the Seluecids or something like that? Give me something to do as an example and I'll do my best to do it.

[tone]

Well, one area it'd be great to have some help with is the bigger building images for the building descriptions. We've got a whole load of new buildings that represent loads of different trade networks and government systems. At the moment we only have the icons for those and not the bigger pictures for these, that go with the building descriptions.

For example, here are two that I did for the two different levels of wine trade and vineyards:





and in the UI, the first one looks like this:




All I did there was to search Google images for "grapes" or "vineyard" or something, import and crop the image in GIMP and apply an "oilify" filter to make the graphic a bit more compatible with existing images.

Other new "buildings" include -

1) various trade routes:
Silk
Tin
Amber
Incense

2) Glass manufacturing - various levels

3) Minerals imports - precious metals / weapon metals

4) Other tradeable goods - olive oil, fish, salt

5) Different mining options: sharecrop mining, open pit mines, deep vein mines, hydraulic mining

6) Caravan / travellers waystations

to name just a few of them. Maybe you'd be interested in producing some of these?
