Gaul market wip:

A design for tooltips using Paul's direction:

Pureon, you are really talented! I've been working on some 2d art for 0 ad for quite some time now, and it isn't even close to this! I don't want to be annoying, but as the GUI is present both pre-game and in-game, shouldn't the "0ad-factor" be more present? The problem I imagine with the mockups is that it's to defined in a historical context - it just looks very roman to me. What if you play Gauls vs Persians, then the roman style would be strange. I found this stone texture which I think has very much of the right feel in it: http://enframed.devi...exture-19249532 It's raw and has these "layers" that makes it look even more raw, like a material that the stuff in the "0ad-place" is made up of. The dota 2 logo also have something about it that makes it prehistorical: http://imagesci.com/...-wallpapers.jpg Combining this raw stone with those really nice gold flourishes (with maybe a bit more gold-ish colors? gold is quite neutral when it comes to early civilizations) could maybe look good and add the "0ad-factor". One idea would be to use the stone texture instead of the red (on which the title of the window is displayed), make the flourishes more gold and have a dark version of the stone texture as background on which the text is to be displayed. How to achieve simplicity and clearness with these elements can however be hard. As with the A N E, my idea would be to have a breadcrumbs-button with icons. Ally could be represented as two shields (witch a blue background/theme), neutral as a laurel crown (green) and enemy as two crossed swords (red). Also, is the "Theirs" really necessary? Shouldn't marking a player as enemy mean declaring war, marking ally to propose ally (it's a treaty that both parties must accept) and marking neutral would be to propose a peace treaty or cancelling an alliance. Before the other player has accepted a proposed change the proposed button could have a colored outline. If the list would be rotated so that each player has a "column" instead of a row, then you could fit the players civilizations emblem, which would be cool.
