Chief Memes I put to use some pictures I took of the local chiefs over here in Akuapem, during our traditional Odwira festival in 2013...

Gee, that was what you call a productive weekend  excellent work guys! Keep it going!

Had the chance to take a look. 1. The major issue with the animations are that the legs and feet are splayed too far apart. Most animals, and I assume camels are the same, position their feet close to their centerline when walking, so that their legs come down at a slight angle [imagine a line drawn from the hip or shoulder of the leg down to where the feet meet the ground, it should be a slight angle inward toward the centerline, not completely 90 degrees]. The elephant animations are wrong in this way too. lol. 2. I like the kneeling it does when gathering meat! Good job. I only wish we could have transitional animations! 3. I think the death can be like 20% slower as they fall. 4. Would be nice to have a couple of different idle animations. Right now the camel looks rather bored. Would be hilarious if the camel chews the cud as it stands there. https://media.giphy.com/media/qYr8p3Dzbet5S/giphy.gif

@Sundiata

@wackyserious An artist friend has another good idea for quilted cotton armour for the pikemen: I need to go to sleep very soon... Any more questions you can think of?

@Sundiata Would this work for the elite Meroitic pike infantry. Extending the loincloth downward is a bit complicated since it can cause texture seams. But I will try to experiment with it.

Hello, I wrote a Programm to compare unit stats. It struck me right away that almost all catapults have the same stats. More differents between the stats will bring more alignment on tactical activities for each Nation.

@stanislas69 Are you going to review the stuff you have on that repo? Would be cool to have some of this in game

I would prefer not an entire set like a garden per se, but more variety of fences and flora. It's possible to achieve a beautiful garden with all of those separately, indeed it would be better as imagination can flow without the restriction of an already builded garden. Somehow like fences per faction. As i said once, it's wierd somehow to place stone fences on for example, a Mauryan city. But i think the most important, it's, does this land on a mod? Or in main game? If it land in a separate mod... IMHO, No. It tends to be more difficult to find or to keep track, maintainability and of course, sharing the map becomes more... difficult too

Pity, I had hoped there would have been a partial file path that could give us some more clue =) Because I would guess that the most likely cause of the issue is that there is something which isn't 100% correct with the folders, maybe just one letter wrong in a folder name or something

while possible it is a bit impractical to have the necklace on as an alpha prop. It would require extra geometry weighted exactly the same as the collar area of the mesh is to prevent it from glitching through the model itself.

@wackyserious 1st tier swordsmen could start out with linen corselet, but if you prefer bare chest, that's also fine. Just thought of something: you could give him one of the variations of Wowgetoffyourcelphone's Blemmye tunic for the camel units. Would be nice to see some more of that. Maybe give him that wicker round shield LordGood made (but scale it down a bit to be the same size as the rhino hide shield.

That's included in the Terra Magna repository

Finalizing the Meroitic pike infantry textures. Each of the three groups is a possible texture for each rank.

@Alexandermb actually did this for the camels and it looks great! I second this idea

Would it be possible to give cavalry a (short) loop rein? Minor details such as this make the game more enjoyable, at least for some people. Closed reins are well attested throughout Eurasia (even for horse archers): Greece: Romans: Han China: Bactria: India:

What's sting/clangor? Hack and Crush damage? Cool program though! Would be very useful. As far as siege differentiation, you're right, things could be made to be more different between civs. Though, IMHO, mostly that should be done with Civ Bonuses [which are limited to only a few per civ] and Technologies [where the player can choose how they want to differentiate their units based on current battlefield conditions]. The Roman bonus in siege is basically one of their civ bonuses.

Please please, do not use player color like that. It is very inconsistent visually from other textures to do that. I'm talking about making the whole armor soft player color. I tried some of your Greek armor textures with all that player color all over the linothorax and it did not look good. It washed out a lot of detail.

Can be nice for Conceptual art advertising.

@Sundiata Nothing, thanks for your time! See you later

Perhaps A could be Available Population and B could be Population Cap? In my experience 'pop cap' is the most commonly used phrase for B, so I think it may as well stay that way. It's not creative but I think it avoids confusion.

Granted, but I think the Han would be a great addition to the main game since they were such a huge faction in the time period. Smaller civs like Thebans, maybe leave for mods.

eh its good enough for TM i guess

Why do i try to paint battle scenes. They're the worst figured i'd dump what i had here maybe I'll finish it i dunno
