EB-Twitter updates Discussion

[Moros]

Morosian info, once again!

No it is genuine hint. Someone who knows arabic can make a good guess. They already figured it out over at .org.

Google translate and you should have a good idea as well. Unless ship is the wrong answer.

Well I checked also the thread at the totalwar.org forums and they had much better hint. I hope that you will not find my post offensive, but it was more easier to quess it there

There are two more news from twitter:

That actually happened, he's not just pulling your leg ... --Tellos.

Does this mean that all factions for the first release have been choosen, and that they are at least rudimentarily existent/playable??


That images looks great, good job! From the new tweet:

Apulo-Corinthian?

[tomySVK]

Two new twitts, one with the quessing game:

Guessing game comeback, what kind of helmet is this: http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/6415/67299126.jpg

Also forgot to mention that the new navy ship icons are finished, 10 in total. ~Tux

This pink helmet looks insane . And yes it looks like Apulo-Corinthian helmet.
Edit: I have on question: Is this form correct? I know it as Italo-Corinthian helmet.

[alin]

That was quick.

Correct, well from what I know both are correct and actually there are many other like:Etrusco-Corinthian or Pseudo-Corinthian which is the one we referenced to it internally.
So now to follow the prize: some eye candy and explanantions.

The historians gathered some pictures from various sources, such as coins, for some of the type of helmets used in Eb2, in this case:

However this isn't too useful for a 3d artist and hard to use so a concept artist will draw some detailed blueprints based on these. In this case, Gleemonex, a former member and great artist who sadly dissappeared:


Finally based on this, and thanks to Gleemonex for the decoration in the concept, the model and textures are created:

And finally we have a low and can also have high poly version of the given helmet.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peak and have a better understanding of how our workflow is in some cases.

Thank you for your presentation, it´s very interesting. I really like the coin, it´s really interesting and I never seen it before. Is it the coin of the Ptolemy X Alexander I? I´m little confused by the date of reign in the name of the picture. The second helmet in the sketch reminds me a helmet, which is depicted in the coin of Diodotos Tryphon. After such nice presentation it´s even harder to wait for some Hellenistc faction preview
Also it´s sad to hear about the disappearance of such skillful team member. I hope he´s well.

[alin]

Yes, I think it is: Ptolemaios-x-85-40BCE. But I don't know anything else about it.

[tomySVK]

Ptolemy X was killed in action at 88 BC. Maybe the numbers in the name mean something else. Thanks again.
