I've had a bit of a PM exchange witht his guy who approached offering help. I'm just trying to pin down what he could or couldn't do. He's apparently got a huge library of historical books at home and has had some interesting ideas....what do people think?

Wow,
Amazing work in your albums.
If you are interested we would welcome you to join the RS2 development team to help with the graphics work. The main areas would be these possibilities:

1) The buildings cards - the pictures that are shown when new buildings are built

2) Any other custom graphics work like this - things like alliances made etc, etc.

3) Publicity for RS2

Anyway let me know - great work, adn thanks for showing it to me.

Thanks for your appreciated reply
Let me inform you that those albuns are taken from my books, however I´m ready to help you with more research and ideas ( concerning that I could assure that I feel a flood in my head). I inform some members but no one seems to have the skill to profit them. Everyone says that they are " great" or " fantastic" but when I inform that I don´t have skill or programs as photoshop, well everything stops. I also been made some hand free drawns but even that arrives to an dead end.
Finnaly, I´ll be very happy if I find someone to materialize my ideas and if they be usefull for you.

Thanks once again

So are they paintings you've done? And are you a historian?

I´ve been collecting book enciclopaedias magazines of history and archeology since my 15/16 years ols, now I am 44, so you can imagine what I´ve got here at home... Play the Tw games asmake me like live all I learned all these years. And play also give me new ideas, lot ideas for new mods with all stud by myself all this thime.

Wow - sounds great!

Are you interested in helping write some unit descriptions? That's about as good a use of the history as possible. Or else we still have some faction previews to do (again lots of historical information needed).....or if you're unsure about the English, you can write and one of the other guys can edit.

what about some ideas about the game, tell me the historical period that concerns, please. My ideas are about event pictures, presentation of the mod, characters, construction, banners, fleets and so...

There's certainly loads of opportunity for new event pictures. It's one of the areas we haven't really done anything with yet.

Presumably you've checked out the previews?

and this thread (loads of pages to look through!):

Well man I got here stuff for all sunday
Ok Let me explain some of my ideas ( and I can send you by mail some drawns about what I´m talking about if needed):
- Why don´t start when presenting the factions for the player choose one, with the shields over atown, a wall, something different?
-Fleets, why the fleets appears with a mercantile ship and not with a military one?
-Why do not assassins atempts sabotage to an army in movement?
-They are already acqueduts?Why do not put they next to a location when arrives to the level of city? And why not when a city is under a siege the wealth, since the city is atacked , go´s in a level less ?
-You could enter a new natural disaster, the sand storm. That copuld affect the trade for one or two turns.
-The trade caravans in Middle East or Africa, should be camels instead a ox driving a two wheel car.
There are some issues to give you an idea what I have in mind...

There are some great ideas here, but it's difficult for you as you don't know what can be changed and what we have already changed for RS2.

Have you got any more ideas?

I like the ideas about the trade caravans and sandstorms - would be interesting to see what we can do here. Some things are hard coded though like the assassins.

Do you have any specific area that you need some ideas?

Personally, I am a 'vacuum cleaner' for ideas....very stimulating to me as the person who can often\sometimes find a way to make them work in this stubborn old game. So I'm ok with anyone who can provide a good influx of new insights and ideas.

Shall I ask him to apply or just exchange PMs or point him to you?

[dvk901]

Sure, ask him to apply. maybe he'd be willing to download and 'Beta Test' in a manner of speaking and could provide feedback and ideas based on what is done already, or what could maybe be done better, added, removed, etc.

I'm interested in any of his outlooks and views of history myself. No biggie either way though...
