Great shots, especially like the pose in "Molon lab,'' Can't recall coming across that one before.

[DaVinci]

Yes, Thermopylae provides a complete new charme

[Athenogoras]

Thanks! BTW is that the Thebans in you avatar. IMO probably the coolest of your hoplites. That mighty herculian club ready to smite all persian evil-doers.

[Halie Satanus]

A'yup, I just love that face mask.

Another update

Credits to NI(Norman Invasion) for greek watchtower texture and to LOTR-TW for Ephialtes imaginary friends

Version 5.1
- Ephialtes made into "single"-man unit
- Formation-tweaks
- Model-changes:Changed position slightly of the hoplite spear, adjusted shield of the Antartes Hoplite
,adjusted shields of barbarian and ionian peltasts.
- Changed Fort and Watchtower strat-models
- Changed skeletons for some units, mainly archer-units which now have the dagger animation
instead of the swordsman animation
- Small textchanges

The forts and watchtower-models(both the persian and the greek) are of the eastern model.
But I have added some different texture and reduced them in size.

[Halie Satanus]

Could you post a pic of the sea texture.

[Athenogoras]

Sure, updated first post(including the new map)

[Halie Satanus]

Ah right, wow that's different, looks like someone has been dumping sewage.

Love that shore texture.

[Athenogoras]

looks like someone has been dumping sewage

Its expresionism man...expresionism...exploring my inner thoughts.

Next stop:Kubism

[Halie Satanus]

Lol, it's your mod you do what you like with it..Just a bit of a shock, I was expecting something more blue that's all.

[Athenogoras]

To some extent the colour can also be changed in the water_surface.tga in the campaign-folder(which I have done) where I can give it a more blue look.
Overall I like the changes though.

[DaVinci]

I thought the same about the missing blue tone, and afaik, Atheno will realise some more blue with his next update.

Kubism ... that will be very interesting

[Athenogoras]

The colour of the sea is pretty easy to change. The problem I have(not having good enough knowledge of how textures work) is the surf.tga. The wave that hits the shore. With my darkened shore the white wave stands out to much so I darkened out. However I noticed there now is a visible edge just below the surface whenever I change the colour. This little file is what have preoccupied my spare time the last 3 days

Edit: Me vs Gimp 1-0
The source of my troubles was that I usually save with option "create mipmaps". When I unchecked this everything looks fine

[Mediteran]

will a new version of this be out soon or should i start playing the older one now?

[Athenogoras]

Hopefully late tomorrow I have another version up which will contain estetic changes
- smoother coastlines
- different seacolour
- different factioncolours
- some changes in citylocation and harbours(requires a new campaign to take effect)

[Mediteran]

cool, i'll wait then

[Athenogoras]

Wait no longer!
From my crappy shed I unleash unto the world:

TGL 6.1
- New sea,shore and waves
- Changed strat-models for greek and eastern fishing village(removed trees)
- Fixed pink spot on Chios(map_ground)
- changed citylocation for Aigina(now not in sea)
- Edited placement of resources
- Changed faction-colours on stratmap
- Removed borders on minimap and stratmap
- Changed radarmaps to be more dark
- Smoothified coastline(this I will never do again, how utterly boring)

A big thank you to Aristeia for the sea-texture(revised by me) and their idea of how to remove the stratmap borders

Some screens are available in the first post

[DaVinci]

I like the new strat-map design
