    Historical Loading Screens and new Quotes

    Hi all
    After a research and selection phase, I put together quotes and images of some of the main places, events and personalities of history, in an attempt to create an embellishment of the game.


    Features:

    • Replaced all previous loading screens
    • 86 images of Frescoes, Manuscripts, Paintings, Mosaics, Engravings
    • Persons, places and events of the images are enclosed in a period from the VI to XVI century AD
    • No Osprey images
    • 34 new quotes ( replace the previous quotes ), and i will replace others quotes when I have free time



    Installation:
    BACKUP quotes.txt. file ( Text folder ) and Loading_Screen folder ( Data folder )
    1) Download quotes.txt file and place it in the text folder
    SS6.3--->Data ---> Text
    2) Download loading screens folder and place in the data folder, overwrite all
