[Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Awesome as always.

Indeed the new grass plays awesome and it is fully possible that you loose your own troops in it !

Q.

[Hyperterran]

[Caligula Caesar]

Excellent work once again. However, I have a few comments to make:

1. Some of the trees look a bit wierd, with strange gaps in the middle and then a big round splotch at the top. No offense, but they don't look like real trees.

2. Punic War Chariots?

I think it just looks a bit different than Limes' intention was to make them look... Some trees in reality simply aren't perfect... with leaves from beginning to the end.

2. Punic War Chariots?

Yep

Yes, some are, but not all, by a long stretch.

Hi Tony,

Great preview !

@Caligula Caesar

Before the Carthaginians famously mastered and effectively utilised war elephants in their campaigns, chariots were the main weapon of "mass destruction" and moral crusher. They were used for many year before a battle with Syracuse, in which the Greeks had brought elephants from abroad. After this battle it is speculated that a Greek or Indian was brought in to teach the Carthaginians mastery of elephants, which at the time were very abundant in the lush forests of modern day Tunisia.

I cant recall that chariots were used after the fact, mostly because every civilization had used them at some point and most strategists had figured out how to counter them. It is much more difficult to counter elephants.

Chariots with four horses? Hell yeah!

[Maurits]

Looks really great!! Couldn't you get the pics bigger?

Hi Tony,

Hehe - thanks loet, but I only did some of the images for this one, PatricianS did most and put the preview together.

Yeah - you betcha matey, and they look damned magnifient in action.

We're hoping to hire the local cinema's screen for our next batch of images.

lol - "put the preview together" is a bit too much said... more lke "threw all pictures I could find in one big thread and call it "preview"

[Tony83]

Hehe - well I'm working on doing some more images at the moment so maybe we can flesh it out a bit.

[Pat89]

Ah cool... perhaps we get to see some more vegetation types than just this one...

Great work guys.....keep it up.
Fantastic seeing all the new environment stuff too!

[Killerbee]

Nice work ! And i see the UI cards are already done !

Thanks tone! Much appreciated from one of the best moddelers ou there!

Nice work ! And i see the UI cards are already done!

lol - tell me about it... Tony did all renders which took loads of time... Since he wanted them all to be at the very same height... The result is clearly visible I think...

But then we only needed to find a good background for the UI cards... and how they look when highlighted. And I can tell you, there probably have never before been so many discussions about this anywere else... So yu better like them!!
