    Default Runic stuff

    I'm really sorry if this starting a new thread for this is a bad idea... please move this post somewhere else if it doesn't belong here.

    Here's a some really cool pictures I found. Maybe they can be used in the ui graphics somehow:

    This last one looks like a couple of horny dogs or something:

    Again, sorry if I'm just being annoying. Maybe someone else has already posted the exact same pictures.

    I considered posting something like that, I love runes (I can read the older futhark)!

    I was about to recommend that we change the loading bar into a runestone with increasing colour, but it seemed a bit unnecessary and way too early.

    I like that idea Athokas

    I was also thinking of having behind Wrath of the Norsemen on the title page, a shadow in Runes

    I was thinking something similar, too. I really liked the first picture I posted there.

    Cool pics!! i will implement more runes in the graphics now.

    a runestone loading bar would be cool, but it would be practically impossible as the loading bar can only be around 10-15 pixels tall (unless i find a way to change that). thats why i chose a sword (it's not tall and can be as long as needed)

    By the way, if they are nordic runes i can tell you the names and what they signify.

    I.E This
    is the rune Algiz, which signifies Protection, sanctuary, prayer, freindship and trust.

    I can write and read the old germanic runes and medieval runes.
    The "viking" runes are a bit harder.
