Macedonian Siege Workshop and Celtic/Iberian Blacksmith

[Gen.Kenobi 54]

Hmm... Most of all Blacksmiths from games have this squareish shape. What about we give the celts a rounded one, just to make it stand out, like their CC and their fortress?

we'd need a square one for the Gauls still though, and a round one for the Britons

I like the idea of having more special buildings, more variation is fun.

Also that is a nice work in progress Alevyr.

I'm not saying to get rid of them, just changing the position of those details, or the roof size

i.e. look at the sample of the settlers image, where the props aren't under the roof, so we're be able to see it from top-down view.

I totally agree with Enrique. Let's make the tools appear.

I'd say take a look at the Feudal Age Celt blacksmith from Age of Kings for inspiration.

Here are some other buildings by modders:

Some very interesting designs out here. I'd really go for a rounded blacksmith - for the Brits -, as you see for yourself, in AoK almost all of them had the same basic square-ish shape.

Mythos, thanks for posting these beautiful concept drawings! Are there more available ? Where can we find them ?

I mean, those sketchs are great and I think they are a very rich material to make visual communication on what is 0 A.D. and how it's made. I might have some ideas with that.

Is the Macedonian Siege Workshop supposed to use the same model as their Blacksmith?

Technically when we don't have a 3D model , we use a "place holder" building...

so the answer is not. The Macedonian blacksmith isn't finish.

Souldn't there be a task for this then?

The art developemnt/ team don't work like programmer one.

this topic is like the task or equivalent to the ticket. And there are a lot of place holder art, many civs even are finish because that.

There is? I haven't really noticed much placeholder art (only a few structures repeat graphics of others). Is there a list of buildings with placeholder art?

Well the old team used to use it more, probably to get a more playable game in the early state of it. Now, the art team tend to keep stuff away from the game until it's finished (ie : anims, eyecandy ...) That's just a more qualitative approach.

Which one ?

[Lion.Kanzen 4,162]

Macedonian siege workshop

[Lion.Kanzen 4,162]

Probably a mix between the dock and blacksmith

[Stan` 5,773]

Why the dock ?

[Lion.Kanzen 4,162]

Because have a size in the main building to have a ship, have a carpenter hall like a you need to create a siege tower or ballista or ram.

[Lion.Kanzen 4,162]

 

I'm very influenced by this.

but you can try with this.
