TSARDOMS TOTAL WAR - 2D ART & LOADING SCREENS
...
I know this is a whole different thing but what's up with the loading screens , need help with that?
I can hook ya guys up with some historically accurate pictorials relevant for each faction no problem !
Gonna start with few pics in a few.
let me know
This is actually an important question and I would like to get the community's opinion on this: would you prefer load screens as photoshoped screenshots of in-game battle or would you prefer medieval artwork, murals, illuminations etc. as the loading screens?
My favourites in this category are from magyar mod. I think the best are the pictures from books of the period.
relevant magyar mod forum:

I would want both.. But you do not have to put to much energy into the loading screens.. atleast for I care more about the gameplay
Those type of loading screens are nice.Obviously since that particular mod has the Kingdom of Hungary at the centre the loading screens are also all about it.
Note how they have the actual nice pictures on top of that background which is a 'game given' right?
So then all we gotta do is come up with a pool of potential pics from which the better and more representative ones can be chosen.
There should be few from each faction and ... to say the truth, in my opinion,in order for this mod to stand out even more there should rather be loading screens as the above mentioned rather than 'in game shots' - it would make it that much better!
So i sugest that all of us who arent officially involved with the mod to help out and contribute with pics which would fit with this. The 'mod guys' will only have to sort and choose, merge the pic with the background, adjust a bit and voila ! we get pretty loading screens !
How's that , good plan ?
Alright, here is a start.
We can have many of those blended with the background and also some nice quotes of some of the particular rulers or with whatever happened in the particular screen and we got ourselves some nice loading screens.

and don't be shy and comment away !
i don't think we should think of that for now
it will be done when mod if finalized, so nothing in plans for now
this is not priority
long time no see, but still twc drug kickin'

Thanks for the contribution stfd.
I think however, (like with the ones used in the Magyar Mod loading screens) that it would be best if actual source material from the mod period was used, rather then later images such as movie screenshots and romantic artistry.
That's just my opinion though...

We can use this as loading screen :
"At first we were confused. The East thought that we were West, while the West considered us to be East. Some of us misunderstood our place in the clash of currents, so they cried that we belong to neither side- and others that we belong exclusively to one side or the other. But I tell you, Irenaeus, we are doomed by fate to be the East in the West and the West in the East, to acknowledge only heavenly Jerusalem beyond us, and here on earth--no one." - St. Sava (of Serbia) to Irenaeus, 13th century
Well its coronation of Dusan by Paja Jovanovic
