    Default Unique buildings and settlement plans

    Run away, all ye mortals, for I have another most likely idiotic idea!
    Is it possible to have the unique buildings (Flavian Ampitheatre, Circus in Constantinopolis, ect) appear on the battle map? Also, is it possible to make unique settlement plans, so Rome will have the seven hills, ect? Because i was looking around in other mod's forums, and saw how in Age of Darkness 2, they were making some special church in Constantinopolis. We could do something similar (Hopefully).

    It would be great, but I don't have any experience making 3D models. Any help by anybody on this would be extremely helpful

    Ask for Wundai, he made the church. If you beg (and beg and beg) he might do something similar for us.

    I did ask him, but he is currently involved with 3 other mods so he cannot assist us.

    I do think we need to recruit someone who could develop unique 3D models for IB in general.

    Absolutely. Defending unique settlemnts would be a lot more interesting than generic boring settlements. I think huge cities need to be about twice as large, and have no limit to how many troops you can have in there, so a massive siege of rome with loads of palatine legions and everal thousand barbarians assaulting from all sides would be possible.

    Even if we could make the 3dmodels, the game does not support implementing them in the game, right?

    That may not be accurate. Actually, the guys of AoD are implementing their models in-game.

    I don't thing it would make that much long time difference to game play experience.

    I think Rome and Constantinople at least need unique plans. Obviously campus lazyges and other unimportant settlements don't need it, though.
    It's just that Rome has such a distinctive city plan, and a lot of unique buildings, and it's a shame we can't see them in-game.

    But in IJ, you never really battle in Rome or Constantinople at all.
    It would just be a gimmick for the heck of it.

    If you're playing as the Huns and need Rome, it'll be a nice 'end boss' sort of city. Especially if you don't know it's coming.
