looking good- i love your useage of primary colours- reflects the fashion of interior design in the 13th century- dover castle is a fine example of what was considered stylish back then http://www.kent.gov.uk/filmoffice/fi...Web%20view.jpg
perhaps for the middle eastern factions you could use motifs from the likes of cordoba mosque

Thanks for the links, mate! And glad that you like it.

I project to put parts of a jousting tribune as the lower layout for this one, just have to find some good stuff on the web

[Lemming69]

sounds nice it will be challenging to do a cuman/mongol/timurid version i suspect haha

[cedric37]

Sure it is already difficult to find stuff for a jousting tribune So if anyone can come up with some good pics... that would be great (i continue searching).

[cedric37]

Dear brothers in Kong,

I could not find any good stuff for a jousting tribune, so i made one from bits from here and there, i hope it will please you...

Here is a preview:

I really do think that you should use a little more 'dull' colours.
Like that bar on the bottom, you see it the whole game, and its so bright that it might be disturbing the player from the campaign map.

Don't get me wrong, i do love your work.

[Mega Tortas de Bodemloze]

I'm with gracul on that, . But then I'm also old, crusty and cantankerous too...

[cedric37]

Ok guys, i will try to tune down the colours a bit
Let see how it goes.

[redinside]

thanks Brother in Kong, d'loading now and i'll provide you some feedback on this great work!

[cedric37]

Thanks brother, feedback is always welcome, even when negative or mixed, i like it

As Gracul, y2day and now Meg seem to prefer a little bit more dull, i agree that it is maybe a bit too bright, especially for the lower bar since it is here all the time (but i will also tune a bit the upper windows borders too). I will soften the colours and make them "older".

Cheers and thanks again for your comments.

[Lemming69]

personally i like the vibrant fresh use of colour

[Mega Tortas de Bodemloze]

Why not both...Like a jersey you play ball in and the one you wear home after you shower at the ymca....

true some like it a tad bit less loud but that doesn't mean that you should abandon the motiff....

[cedric37]

I planned to let the bright version and propose an alternative dull version
I personally like the bright one, but i can make a dull one too

[cedric37]

Ok here's the "dull version" preview, is it ok ? Or more dull ? Or something else ?

Me likey...

[Khosrau]

I like the bright one very much. It really has an western Europian medieval feel. Well done!

I agree though with Gracul about the brightblue bar, I would use another color personally. Maybe darkblue (medieval azure?).

Really looking forward to what you cook up next!

[y2day]

I like the new version very much cedric.

[Gorrrrrn]

is there a problem with widescreen?

I'm running 1680 x 1050 and the strat screen looks very stretched.

[cedric37]

@Mega Tortas: i am glad you like it my friend

@Justinianus: hmm yes i will try a darker blue (like the one i used in the borders), you are correct in pointing this out, thanks. Next ? First remake the blue thingy darker then either eastern_europe (you could use it with BftB2.0 ^^) or middle_eastern i think.

@y2day: thanks mate!

@Rozanov: hmm that's weird, i am running with a wide 1440 x 990 and the screen is not that stretched. But i guess you are right, i think the game support the wide screens but just stretch the image. Unfotunately, there isn't much i can do to prevent the engine to automatically stretch my tgas
