[magpie]

[hæressiarch]

[Mathais]

Hi Mathais, my friend, I love your poetical turn of phrase..

It happens here and there it fun to talk that way to those who come in my work place they give me the weirdest of looks.

As for Haer I like those axe I say use them the shape is good and looks like somthing my ancestors would use.

@ Prince Nuada

thanx so much. textures are looking good with lighting settings proposed by Magpie i think we are on a good track with colours, shadows, reflections and intensity
that shield will be changed a bit, but don't worry, i'll keep the original image

@ Mathais

hamsha is gathering more knowledge about germanic tribes. on our university there is one profesor very interested in germanic tribes. i hope we won't disapoint you

[magpie]

Whos working on the unit cards haer, is it Lady Hamsha,if so they will be in good hands.I need your exprt_descr_unit file, so I can add my evil stats to it The Romans are going to be great in our little mod my friend. regards mags

[Prince Nuada]

in our little mod

you call this a little mod
Haer i see your well

[magpie]

Hi Prince, Its a baby at the moment but growing very fast, we are feeding the little monster big time mags

[hæressiarch]

@ Prince Nuada

it will grow and grow, but slowly. we are plnning to change everything that is aviable to be changed. terrains, units, mounts, vegetations, buldings, lighting, shaders, skies, animations, interface, loadingscreens... everyting

as you've noticed i feel much better. i always feel worse when i must rip through the descr_. files .

@ magpie

as you've guessed lady hamsha will do most of them (i'll add only few). they will be made as shown on the first page. i thought they could show more units, but that's still to be discussed.

i am trying to set new roman units (without numbered and named legions yet). it will take some time. some of them need to be corrected (animation bugs) and few alpha tweaks removed/included. when it will be done, ill send you complete files with new units

[Prince Nuada]

your baby grows like this

Hi haer, Thanks I know its a lot of work digging through files.
don't forget you have a download link in pm.just to keep you busy.
I am looking forward to hamsha's artwork.
We will need a forum to keep all the different thing sorted.
I forget sometimes how big a mod can be.
hi Prince. a little screen.

[Prince Nuada]

wow mags are those new buildings?

[magpie]

It looks different with new lighting and textures ect Prince, gives the illusion so to speak of course new buildings are planned.

[hæressiarch]

i've just came here to confirm information about buldings. there will be new architecture
i always wanted to have architectural orders through ages here

[Chlοë]

Nice velites mates.

[pacco]

I´m an architect in real life!

[hæressiarch]

@ Legio Caesar

thank you Legio. unfortunately i was in hurry so i couldn't add more screens. i'm going to go hard in making skeletal AoR and DMB through next few days so i'll be present rather rarely here

hamsha has much influence on their apearance. now all 4 roman factions will have them diferent (but "mounted" on a single model). julii will have one with the pectorial on their chests. the same goes with claudii. cornelii will have one with badger skin on their heads and the senate will have the ones with the wolf skin. also shield designs will be diferent (including sizes and shapes).
after weekend i should be able to show more...

@ pacco

i thought you are involved in some kind of art ! i am studying art (painting/drawing/graphic/designs).

Rot(te)N Announcement:

by the way Ferres (gods bless the day he was born) gave us oficial premission to use his famous legions. as you probably suspect i'll use many of his hard work, but i'll try to keep them lighter in details and make them closer to RotN Team vision of certain things

i admit that i am really try to follow his abilities, but now our life will be much easier . as i am too lazy to make such detailed units as he does (and not so capable) i'll just borrow some stuff

don't worry. as you probably know hamsha has decisive voice about units apearance in case of rome and greek factions just as pirates_say_aargh with the carthaginians, so you'll have something bit diferent

THANX FERRES

while i'll have some experiments with the modfolder and it's content, hamsha will have few sleepless nights to introduce you our legions. i've just finished making multiunit models fo legionaires. their apearance will change in major not only with textures, so you'll may able to see how roman helmet evolved .

please encourage our brave lady and you'll recieve huge preview in return

Yes, but Architecture is ART, we have to know all about painting/drawing/graphic/designs...
