Re: [Introduction] Ages of Darkness 2 - renovatio imperii -
An excellent summation of the various previews and an overall view of the mod. Well done everyone - looking forward to this release. If I can help in any way outwith modding just let me know!
Re: [Introduction] Ages of Darkness 2 - renovatio imperii -
I'm so waiting this mode. The time of Iustinianus is one of my favorite historical period, he was one of the greatest emperors and his army leaders also were very talents. I'm very interested in your future plans (AoD 3) too not because of the Heraclian dynasty but the chance to play in the time of the Carolingian dynasty' rises. I could never understand why didn't make a mod about them...a mod about Iustinianus was one of my dreams and it seems to be getting reality a mod about Carolus Magnus is the other one. For latter unfortunately I need waiting...
Keep up this good job, the pics are so amazing! I'm sure the game will be more amazing

Re: [Introduction] Ages of Darkness 2 - renovatio imperii -
for colonia agrippina i would have preferred the other wall texture style since it is a former western roman province. this looks to byzantine in my eyes.
Re: [Introduction] Ages of Darkness 2 - renovatio imperii -
first of all: the wall texture isn't fixed yet and just a test. I made a bundle of detailed and photo-realistic wall textures. Simply said: We have others.
Regarding the stripes we discussed this question in the other thread about the byzantine forts. Many photos, images and descriptions were posted which clearly shows that the striped design was in use in the western half of the roman empire since the early era of the late antiquity - even in Britain.
If Colonia or any other AoD-city was really using that kind of wall is another question - but generally we have our limits concerning the walls and its coding.
The vanilla stone-walls are used by so called barbarians and the same stone-wall is also used by Romans. To add a complete new second wall-model is another task which is beyond our available time.
Finally we have to decide now what kind of walls serves the general appearance of that time epoch of the 5th, 6th and 7th century and we came to the result that the stripe design is a good compromise for the western half as well as for the eastern half.
However, the stones will be changed- that's for sure. Here we will use another design - similar to that of vanilla RTW/BI - but improved in some ways.
