    Good job, just in case you didn't read it in the other thread there are crosses next to the "+" and "-" buttons, which are right above the minimap.

    Analysis should not be diverted by reflections upon the zeal with which the victors at the end of the Second World War punished the defeated for war crimes. The victors were animated by the ideals of the Atlantic Charter and of the United Nations. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was about to peep over the eastern horizon. But first, they wanted a little hanging.

    I really like the bright colours, very reminiscent of Indian art!

    removed the orange bg on the scrolls cuz they made it difficult to read. other changes are obvious, but i was wondering if it is now looking tacky, or okay? any suggestions?

    I think the finance overview piece looks good.
    But the red and green colours are to strong imo.
    maybe if u could tone it down a little

    i think the red in the center is too much. the red tabs are good though. might look better in orange. the green is ok, imo, if a darker green, and the gold trim on the other stuff is replaced with a mahogany wood. or, get rid of the green, and replace the gold trim with ivory (indian kings never had a lack of ivory). in the financial overview area, i like it a lot, but maybe the gold should be a little darker. like slightly worn out gold. though indian kingdoms had tons of money, the brightness seems a little too much to me.

    just my two cents.

    EDIT: oh and the swastika on the end seems out of place. maybe it can be taken out? a swastika would look better on either side of text, like [swas.] TITLE [swas.]

    I agree. These are really fanastic, you guys did a great job. My only suggestion would be to, like others have said, tone down or desaturate the colors to something more subtle. Afterall, the attention should be on the words and buildings, not the background. But other than that I think this stuff is top-notch. Keep up the good work!

    Yeah i think you should turn the red to be more bricky. But the rest looks great.

    hmm. i agree with all of u, tbh... the red and green was too bright, and ended up looking tacky and un-appealing. so i've modified the colours:

    instead of brick red, i thought of making it look kinda like marble? as for the suggested mahogany wood and weathered gold; i'll try the mahogany, and the gold wasn't looking nice. i'll try it again, with some modifications this time around.
    nothing else is new. just some colour changes, and the advisor, in case u haven't seen her in the Rajput's thread.


    cheers!

    Much better indeed, but I think you should tone down those red icons ("Army" "Castle" "Agents"), maybe use the same color as the box below?

    Good job IndianBoy. But, to be perfectly honest, I'm expecting a total rehaul of the interface textures and such.

    Something like this, albeit its my first draft.


    Thats the minimap are and the area thats on the far right. Its been intentionally "watermarked".
