Re: Second AoD2 building preview - today: Taq-i Kisra
Woooooooooooooow,I really can't believe my eyes this project is getting great.. Wundai you deserve a french kiss from lindsey lohan for making Taq kisra lol..
but I have few things to say about the building in the preview :
1- Taq i kisra was painted in white color
2- it was larger so I suggest wundai you add extra 2 towers like those

Re: Second AoD2 building preview - today: Taq-i Kisra
thanx for the input, jermagon, we try to use all informations for AoD2.
1st
do you have a source concerning the white colour? You write it was painted in white colour. Very interesting. I would like to know where this info is coming from.
2nd
if you compare the arch - or vault - with the citizens walking through the city then you will see that the building has a very good size. Of course we could enlarge the vault by 2 or 3 meters. However, we have our limits concerning the space in the city.
3rd
...we are really thankful for all historical 3D reconstructions and plates in general for the Taq-i Kisra - based on facts.

well I can't confirm that the original color was white, but I saw a reconsructed picture of the monument and it was painted in white color. I also saw this picture http://www.oberlin.edu/art/Iraq/Iraq-030.JPG

yes your're right, but it would be cool if you gave the monument it's own perimeter cuz from what I have seen from the pics the building does exist very close from the citizens dwellings ..
I also suggest you add some cool persian statues and a hauge fluttering purple banner on the top of the structure

I think white Taq-i Kisra wouldnt be nice among all "yellow" buildings and I think we shouldnt change anything about it.Maybe If Woundai want to add one or two more towers...

This, and even if it was painted white it would likely have bleached to a yellowish colour in the sun. Great preview

@Jermagon
-No white please, reasons are stated by Karlo.
-I like the banner idea Jermagon,giving it a more Sassanid feel.
-As for statues, well if Pomps wants to continue with them ok, but I can't make them, my modeling experience doesn't go that far We could take some of the vanilla game.
-Towers next to it? I don't really like that since I already made these beside the Taq-i Kisra:

On the left of the building these, large rectangular stones with long small black windows in them, sry for the description, my english fails me here
But what I'm trying to say is that towers would direct attention away from them, or even fill up their spot, and this is just such a nice thing of Sassanid Architecture.
