I've made a topic here since it seems the place for it (quotes here as well...) RS2 pretty much does away with all the old units, so the loading screens must go as well. This is a time-consuming task, and since my modding skills are none, I'll take this on.
RS1.5 has 34 loading screens and I think all but three show old units.
My proposal:
Increase the loading screens to 64. We have a TON of gorgeous new units and they deserve to have a spotlight. With 64 loading screens, we can have 4 loading screens for each faction. They can be fighting another faction, but 4 as the base across the board. This also leaves 4 for the non-unit shots, such as the Acropolis painting and others.
Obviously this is a flexible number...just a basic starting point.
If mulattothrasher's idea of famous battle screens is still in the works, we should definitely include those!
I am... pics are from various people but I think the majority will be self-taken with movie cam. My poor machine gets 1fps when I do that so it takes a while
This ones's from tone... I dunno if legion helmets are going to be redone but this is such an amazing pic.
I'll organize everything in the first post sometime, as I get more done.

Nice work!! I'm curious though....why do we gave to have the big blck spots on the top and bottom for loading screens...except for the Main Loading screen that shows at startup? Who cares if the loading bar shows in the texture? I just think they would look nicer full screen. MHO, anyway.

I really like the black bits in the screens--it adds to the flavor, imo. There's always quotes and "ROME: TOTAL WAR" in the black spaces too, and otherwise it gets too busy. Imagine trying to find a color for the quotes that fits all these screenshots! Black is the easiest color, as opposed to shades of green and tan and others. I'm curious as to what other people think, too, but personally I love them.
Updated first post with all the ones done so far. I'll do a bunch for each faction and we can narrow it down to the good ones.

I love the second Seleucid screenshot. Dr. H's Greek cataphracts look just beautiful.
I also am fond of the Scythian and Sarmatian ones. The ones I don't like are the Celtic ones (Arverni, Belgae). They need to have more of a 'horde' feeling to them. (that's just my opinion)
Aye, I originally tried to do full screen loading pics. They look great IMHO, but when the quotes pop up from the game, its hit or miss (more misses) if the quotes can be read easily. Having those borders, or something behind them, makes sure the quotes will show up better.
I just thought it worthwhile to point out that the grass will change, the sky, and the trees also. So this sort of thing (even though its awesome) is probably best left until last. One of those polishing type things near the end of the project.

:hmmm: Good call. I'll hold off for now then, and try to figure out how to do those stupid quotes!
