@Genava55 I know they are predominantly from the viking era, but is there any chance the cimbri had runestones as well? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runestone
So here's what I'm gonna do:
1. Get rid of the two ahistorical stone babas. I can make them an extra for the Rus in the Millenium mod. I think the remaining 5 stelae are sufficient, but if @Genava55 or someone else got references for more that are different enough from the existing, I might add them.
2. I plan to bake maybe three (?) different diffuse textures for the stelae to get some colour variation. Any wishes?
3. Redo the kurgan: Hill + gravel around it + stelae around the base. Think I'm gonna keep the entrance though. Not sure about the stelae on top, maybe as a variation. I'm gonna make a decal for the foundation actor.
4. Adding player colour. Still not sure how. Maybe that cauldron and the wagon for a ceremony suggested by @Genava55. Not sure where to place them though.
Thoughts?
WIP. Thoughts on the concept in general?
Other than the deletion of unseen faces, any artistic or technical advise? What do you think of this kind of burial chamber? Is it ahistorical?
Two stones together (or three at both ends) make up a prop, that adapts to the terrain. Unfortunately the whole concept only works with a lot of props, and this is even without any plants or bushes:
What would be an appropiate number of props? Any idea which props are worth to be added? Cadaver of a horse or human corpse, weapons, wagons etc?
File's attached. Please test on different biomes and different terrains.
