Eyecandy!?


Recommended Posts

- Realistic ruins (Some of them overgrown, some covered by sand) of buildings that are actually in the game.

- Realistic ruins of buildings that were actually there, but not in the game

- collapsed carts, siege machines and the like

- A lot of random architecture things like columns and statues. (Even for civs not in the game, such as Egyptians)

- About the same things that were in AoE, AoK and probably stuff the designers of the original scenarios will demand (They are the first ones with practical experience, so they know what they need).

Maybe, the objects in the map editor could be seperated by categories, i.e. "Egyptian objects", "Greek objects", "Misc. Ruins", etc.

Thats a need. One problem i had with AoM is the units/embellishments/etc. weren't organized very well, imo. AoK had that prob too. Maybe a tree structure, and/or the user can customize it so its ordered by civ or by type (building, unit, object, etc.) or by a whole list, and more.

As for eyecandy (since that is the topic at hand), scroll through all the main games (AoK/M, EE, RoN, WC3, etc) and find the best eyecandy of them all. And please, if you make a bridge, make it walkable unlike the AoM one ;)

More eyecandy, the better. Never enough in any RTS game. ;) Apart from the standard stuff, you can expect, like for AoE and AoK, that people will want to make historical scenarios based on the period with 0AD with the editor. Things like well-made tents/camp equipment, palisade walls, palisade towers (for Romans), various flags, small bridges, market stalls, etc.

OK, I agree that the lists have some good stuff in them... but what I'd like to see ya'll do now is go back over your lists and for each item (that you are serious about) add a short description of what exactly it is that you envision... since if it gets onto the real list of specifications in the DD somebody is gonna have to do the artwork for it.

So, if you really wanna see something in the game let's see a lil motivation to 'specify'. ;)

Frex, Fountains.... lol... what fountains, Trevi, the waterfountain in your school's hallway? Now I'm being a little facetious but to make a point, and we don't want to assume that someone else knows exactly what is being spoken to even if an item is rather common, and since Fountains, as the example I'm using, is plural, then one would presume that there would be more than one... so how about editing your threads to do something like this:

-------------------------------------

Fountain1 (simple fountain with base pool and water spouting up in a vertical centre spume then falling back to pool, eye candy, animated)

Fountain2 (2-tiered fountain having ornate base pool and 2 catch basins on centre column above with water falling back to pool below from each, eye candy, animated)

--------------------------------------

Specifying if eye candy so is known that is not a consumable item and animated if appropriate to the object.

You do that an the artist will have a good idea of what it IS (so will everyone else). So, let's see if we can't do a little 'separating the men from the boyz' here, eh? ;)

For natural eyecandy, why not some marsh plants (for shallow, fordable water) as well as mud? They works well with rain and lightning. As for Special Units, how about Greek/Roman mythological characters such as Zeus/Jupiter, Posidon/Neptune, and Ares/Mars (for campaigns involving the Greek/Roman Mythology)?

Any more ideas please, for I am weary of making them up for now.

Agreed!

I'll Post the Lits again as this is a new page.
