Good to see you around Enrique, even as a lurker! Another set of creative eyes never hurts

Hi @Alexandermb ! Glad to see new talented faces in the art department ! Sadly, I'm back just as a lurker (until the end of september or so) and perhaps I can provide art tech support or similar, but no manpower yet. I've seen you guys have been very busy! Really nice work around the art dept forums Hello Feneur! Happy to se you around here still!

Despite of the direction you end up following with the layout, here are some suggestions with the structural parts: Use thicker wall wood beams. The wood beams on the walls are currently too thin. Making them thicker will provide a sturdier feel. Also use the "X" pattern which is very characteristic of romans: For the "boringness" of the walls, you can throw some "indent" arches. I think Pureon also used them in some roman houses. Banners and shields hanging on walls: I think it is a great eye-candy catcher to spice up walls and give the military feel. It is a decoration element used in several of the barracks in-game that works pretty well. Investigate adding different roofing levels: -Except few exceptions (Persians and Seleucids) the barracks often have roof elevation variations to spice up the shilouette, while keeping the "U" shape layout: For further structural inspiration, you could take a look at AC:Origins and AC:Odissey cities screenshots, or fire up the game if you have them. You can get very nice ideas and keep the historical accurracy. cheers!

Hi, I'm a translator in the armenian language, and I'd like to know how I can become a reviewer or a coordinator, because many sentences have been mistranslated and I feel like I'm the only one who translates the strings. I read a lot of topics about translations in the forum and now I know that I have to ask a coordinator or a reviewer to become one too but there is no coordinator or reviewer in the Armenian language. So I ask you how I can become the first.

Here are some cow vocalizations I recorded for the project. I also have some general eating and walking sounds which I can prepare if needed. CowCalls.zip

0 a.d. music at the end there.

Updated first post. Extended this thread to include Suebians and Goths. Suebians represent an early German faction (they can fight the Principate Romans), while the Goths represent a later German faction (they can fight the Dominate Romans). If we eventually add the Thracians and Dacians, I think we're representing the European "barbarians" rather well (maybe split the Lusitanians off from the Iberians and add the Illyrians?). Regardless, I have committed a few "placeholder" assets for the Suebian Germans and the Gothic Germans.

Would really love to see Advisors on the UI, our 3D artists could use makehuman to create UI art if something would be planned

I don't think the music should stop when using the in-game encyclopedia. Anyone else agree? See that video for example.

Good stuff! (Some in-game anti-aliasing would make that video thumbnail look 10 times better...)

Some tweaks, removed the barrel and the grid.

The Germans Cimbri, Suebians, Goths https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/delenda_est/commit/74653b71376ba38593f675e4051586769292b59b https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/delenda_est Need halp from our resident historians, artists, and reference gatherers. Units Since the Suebi were a tribal confederation, units will have tribal designations, for example: Marcomanni Spearman, Quadi Light Cavalry, etc. Goths will represent the "later" Germans, with round shields, more helmets, more chain mail, greater cavalry. Suebian units look like "early" Germans, with hexagonal shields, fewer helmets, less chain mail, greater reliance on infantry. Basic units - Bare chested or Animal hide. Pants. Shield. Weapon. No helmet. Advanced units - Shirt. Pants. Shield. Weapon. No helmet. Elite units - Shirt. Pants. Cape. Shield. Weapon. Simple Germanic helmet. Champions and Heroes - Heavy body armor. Germanic helmet. Suebian Heroes Ariovistus Leader of the Suebi and other allied Germanic peoples in the second quarter of the 1st century BC. He and his followers took part in a war in Gaul, assisting the Arverni and Sequani in defeating their rivals, the Aedui. They then settled in large numbers into conquered Gallic territory, in the Alsace region. They were defeated, however, in the Battle of Vosges and driven back over the Rhine in 58 BC by Julius Caesar. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Ariovistus Maroboduus King of the Marcomanni, who were Germanic Suebian people. He spent part of his youth in Rome, and returning, found his people under pressure from invasions by the Roman empire between the Rhine and Elbe. He led them into the forests of Bohemia, adjacent to the Quadi who already lived nearby, and established a large alliance. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Maroboduus Ballomar Leader of the Marcomanni. At first a Roman client ruler; during the first Marcomannic War he formed an alliance with other Germanic tribes and invaded Italy. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Ballomar Arminius Was a Roman officer and later chieftain of the Germanic Cherusci tribe who is best known for commanding an alliance of Germanic tribes at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD, in which three Roman legions under the command of general Publius Quinctilius Varus were destroyed. His victory at Teutoburg Forest would precipitate the Roman Empire's permanent strategic withdrawal from Magna Germania. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Arminius Found in the Mercenary Camp. Goth Heroes Alaric I History Wiki Link Theodoric I History Wiki Link Theodoric the Great History Wiki Link Buildings All wooden, less health than "standard" civs. "Walls" are a wooden stockade, halfway in strength between palisades and stone walls. "Fortress" is wooden. Building "shapes" should roughly follow Empires Ascendant standard, but with a Germanic veneer or aesthetic. There can be some unique exceptions for visual variety however. Maybe houses are longer than they are wide with a rectangular footprint, in contrast to other civs whose houses generally fit a square footprint.

Later Goths will have more of a nomadic gameplay (like Huns or Scythians) with no territory. It would be interesting if Hyrule:Conquest's hero selection UI could be used to "split" the Goths into Visigoths and Ostrogoths. Art Needed Each one needs its own civ emblem. Unit head models with the "Suebian Knot" and beards for the Suebian units. New unit body and shield textures. Some new helmet models. New building art set.

Maybe we should make another effort at recruiting a sound designer? Cattle could really use some sounds. For now, perhaps we can use cc0 or free "cow" sound assets? Quick google search: http://soundbible.com/tags-cow.html

Decided to play around with the rome barracks.

The Catafalques are supposed to house the remains of the men mentioned in their name. So yeah, "Catafalque of Solon" would be the best generic name and then the specific name translation from that.

Hi @wowgetoffyourcellphone Please see https://code.wildfiregames.com/rP22197#inline-3121 That is cause animal walks differently. I am not sure with which patch is @wraitii going to fix it but he will eventually Anyway I think it would need to be edited animation speed in actors after that change.

It's very nice to see a new voice set. They feel much more Persian now. And cool new buildings! Any chance it is included in vanilla?

I'm gonna rework this eventually.

Great job @Stan` I'll do this for you if you model me a cult statue for the Persians. I think the Apadana needs updated too, but that's core game. Cult Statues are Delenda Est. If you make me a cult statue for them I'll make a template for the core game too if you want. The Yakhchal and Cult Statues for core game will just pull their parent from the generic "special_building" template and do nothing.

New metal and stone icons. Metal Mines use the current "Blacksmith" icon (but moved to the gaia folder and renamed, in prep for the blacksmith icon being revamped).

Gaur and Gharial for India. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Gaur https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Gharial

Honestly, initial implementation could just have some static portraits. Later, some model/animation could be done.

farm beautification was done a while ago, I'm not sure what was intended here

Watching Nookrium halfway at the moment. What I noticed so far Lack of harvest animation for the pig (Stream viewer jokingly said that it was being milked lol, and that was a sustainable way of having bacons, really laughed at this one) A particular cattle entity at Butana Steppes which also lacked animation. The guy failed to notice the lack in population point during one of his matches. Stream viewers are very interested on the game based on how they saw him play it. He zooms a lot and is mostly fascinated by the graphics, he praised it how each faction had different structure sets and was really moved the the appearance of the buildings. Interesting though that he looked at the mod selection for a first game cover. He somewhat wanted more available information about the mods in the mod selection area, other than the mod summary description. He downloaded the community maps mod ad mod.io

Should be better now pers_ice_house_02.zip

coins bag. WiP not edited, yet.

It seems to be something used later: http://sci-hub.tw/https://www.jstor.org/stable/650090 The only place where I find early indications of arrows and bows is in North Denmark and Southern Sweden. So if you want to add an archer, you can do it through a regional unit (Cimbri or Suiones).

We could fix the issue that we have multiple reports per day and we can make it easier to report these. We can do both, but one of them would be logical to do first. Keep those fingers crossed, one day we will beat the endboss rating fakery.

What about a positive reporting like in LOL? When you finish the game you can qualify the others players if they were friendly, they resigned, etc.. like a karma system.

I do not know but I'm sure the charming and understanding lobby players would click it out of existence. Then we can go hunting for players abusing the poor thing and get them reported on the Forums maybe?

Wow Really nice bamboo Makes me wish we had a "wow" reaction rather than "just" a like or thanks (It's possible to add new reactions, but you need to have a fitting image, and finding one that fits the current ones and is legal to use is probably more work than it would be worth as the current ones are useful enough.)
