    Default Request for help - Tribes of Britannia

    First off apologies if this is in the wrong section.

    To start i wanted to give a bit more info on the project that i am currently working on to better help people understand if this would be a project they would like to join.

    Setting

    Tribes of britannia is a mod for Thrones of Britannia where the goal is to drag it kicking and screaming back to iron-age pre-roman britian. there will be a total 61 playable factions in the mod and steady progress is being made towords releasing the campaign module to the public. it is currently just me working on the project and to say i am no artist would be a horrendous understatement.

    currently available for players is the multiplayer/custom battles module in its first state with template UI for flags and Unit cards

    Help Needed

    Currently to begin with i am looking for somebody to join the team to help contribute towards the faction flags for the factions in game. this iwll ofcourse be a total 61 factions with the possability to extend this over time depending on the mods change in scope. due to the nature of the time period is not full set in stone what all of our tribes would have considered to use as an emblem of sorts (if at all!!!) so the artist will have some freedom on the designs of course within limits.

    my first goal is to get these flags done (no rush) but if somebody enjoyed the project or idea behind it enough to want to carry on with it i would love for somebody to help with the other aspects involved with the UI such as building icons, unit cards ect. but i would be more than happy for somebodsy to just contribute for the flags if that suits them.

    its really important to get the flags done early i feel because it allows me to match uniform colours and the like with the flags to give each faction a proper identity.

    below will be some links for the mod pages if you would like and further infomation / screenshots. thank you for reading.

    Deisign wise i do like the icons used for the briton factions used in rome 2 so something along those lines for the factions i feel would work well. With link to pictich, Celtic, bythonic themes depending on location. below is a map showing basic locations. File size wise 256 x 256 is perfect and i can resize from that.

    Would be helpful to include a list of the flags you need made for the mod and the size/style you need too

    As far as style and shape goes, I assume you want something similar to the style of the Rome 2 flag icons?

    Yeah for sure i really like the general style used in rome 2 for the flags icons. i would probably say that the coulours shouldnt be TOO vibrant. not bland but just not super bright like rome red if that makes sense.

    I'm thinking of using blue/orange for the Iceni, and trying to use one of the symbols off of the Iceni coinage. Once I nail one of the flags it should be easier to get in the flow of doing others.

    edit: here's an album of the coins I mean. I think the horse on the gold coin is the best example of the kind of symbol I want to do.

    I really like the sound of this. And I have to agree with what you are saying about it's being easier to continue after the first one. Similar reason as to why I am trying to get these done earlier in development to help shape the image for the rest of the mod.

    What do you think about something like this for Iceni? The edges and everything are a bit rough now, but I didn't want to spend too much time on it before I knew what you thought. Let me know what you think about the border, the flag texture, colors, etc.

    I really like the look of this. The border is really nice and I like the flag texture you have used as well on the top one. And the colours are a good pick as well. I think they will work well when translated onto uniforms for a but if variety

    There's also a background like this, if you wanted to go that direction

    I think this looks good but the previous flag texture I feel suits it a little more.

    Also the brighter orange is nice

    Alright, these should look a lot cleaner. I've got two versions here. One with a textured effect on the horse, the other without. Let me know what you think of both and what you think of the general aesthetic please.





    edit: By the way, I don't actually own a copy of Thrones of Britannia (the only TW game I don't own ) so I have no way of testing these out in game myself .

    Also, here's a link to the coin I'm using for reference on the flag design.

    Hi Akar,

    These look Brill! i think i like the second one more just because it sticks out off the background more if that make sense. i will try it now in game and drop a screenshot to show you

    Here's the first version of one for Cantiaci. What do you think about the symbol and the colors?



    This is the coin I used.

    This design is really good! The colours are a nice combo too and with that final touch like the last one I can see it being really bold. I really like the use if the coins. In my head if it's good enough for their coins then it would have been more suitable for a flag if they were to even use them! Great work akar
